Renzoilustre Stories

When a lone wolf meets the howl of his heart. Paolo doesn't even like concerts. Crowds? Noise? Overpriced merch? Hard pass. He only came to babysit a drunk friend and pray for the night to end. But then Howl takes the stage, and his gaze locks with him---Nate, lead guitarist with quiet eyes and a smile sharp enough to cut through the roar of the crowd. Suddenly, the boy who swore he wasn't a fan is holding a banner he didn't make, going viral overnight, and catching the attention of the very wolf he tried to ignore. Nate's played in front of thousands, but he's never been this off---beat-heart skipping, hands sweating, all because of one boy in the middle of the chaos who looks like he doesn't care... and yet. Between late-night gigs, rumors that threaten to tear the band apart, and the gnawing ache of jealousy that surprises them both, Paolo and Nate find themselves circling each other in a world louder than they ever asked for. Because sometimes, the quietest hearts have the loudest howls.
