Under Stage Lights

After spending so long hiding their feelings from each other, Malik and Max thought finally being together would make things easier.

Instead, it only made everything more complicated.

Now, months into a relationship that feels real enough to scare them both, they're learning that loving each other in private is very different from letting the rest of the world see it. Between rumors, lingering guilt, and the fear of changing everything around them, Malik and Max have to decide whether they're ready to stop hiding for good.

Because the hard part didn't start when the curtains closed.

It started when they opened again, and felt the lights.
