A/N this song has changed to your love by glass animals ( I rewrote the first few chapters as of August 13, important you reread this)

[Y/N] POV

"C'mon [Y/N] the performance is starting!" Hu Tao woke you from your sleep. Getting up she took your arm and began to bring you to the area overlooking the stage. "Lets get closer!" You and Hu Tao began to make your way to the VIP section close up. There were some people with signs and groups of fan girls and fanboys circling the area. The cheers were erupting all around as the band stood there. You could hear a fan girl squeal into your ear from behind your shoulder.

Dottore at his drums, Signora at her Piano, your brother with his bass, and Scaramouche himself with his guitar. They had small wire microphones hanging from the side of them to allow them to move around the stage as they pleased. Speaking into the mic Scaramouche announced their song for the night. The band began to introduce themselves in between cheers. "Mad Scientist, Crimson Witch, Tartaglia and Balladeer." the band spoke in unison. "And we are The Harbingers" Scaramouche spoke. Cheers erupted once more "We'll be playing Your Love. Enjoy the show." Cheers erupted again, this song had topped the top ten for 2 whole weeks. As the crowd quieted, the band began to play.

Start playing  your love by glass animals here

You and Hu Tao swayed with the crowd. Knowing the words you sang along in amazement. You stared at the band in amazement. You thought you would be here supporting your brother, but you were entranced by the lead singer. His hair softly swayed as he strummed his guitar. His voice was soothing. Everyone had to be paying attention to him. He sang into the mic looking out to the crowd.

Stepping a little bit farther from mic his gaze returned to his guitar before he looked out at the vip section. It seemed as he was looking for someone. As his eyes wandered he stopped when he made eye contact with you. His eyes made you a little weak in the knees. The gaze he had was intoxicating but he slowly made his way to the front of the stage. You found yourself moving forward. Hu Tao seemed to get what was happening and grinned as you went up to the stage.

Everything was amazing. His intoxicating smile, swaying hair, and oh so famous grin. As the two of you made their way to meet you didn't lose your gaze, his purple irises meeting yours. As the night felt as if it would end off perfect, the somewhat insane fan girl from earlier had pushed you aside. You didn't go toppling to the floor but you did end up looking at Scaramouche awkwardly and him returning the same expression as you.

Apparently the fan girl was just too caught up in her fantasy she couldn't see that the two of you clearly were having a moment. She misconceived that he was staring at you not her. Dissatisfied the purple haired boy let his grin waiver for just a moment before walking back to center stage to continue singing the song. "You okay?" Hu Tao asked. "Yeah.. I'm fine." In reality you wanted to smack the girl to the ground. Your first band experience ruined because this stupid girl decided to push you for her own self indulgent false reality.

As the song finished the band bid their goodbyes before stepping backstage to let the next person play. "I'm gonna go see my brother now." You said . Hu Tao nodded in reply, "Make sure to come back to the party with us. I think around this time some people should be leaving." "See you there!" You called out before making your way backstage. A guard stood at the door marked with a star.

"What do you want?"

"I need to go backstage to see my brother, Ajax" you responded.

"There's no one here by that name."

"Does Tartaglia sound more familiar?" You asked. You and Childe had your differences whether they be noticeable or not, you couldn't blame the guard for being skeptical. "Yeah right, get los-" just then the door hit him in the face causing his glasses to become crooked and for his hat to fall off. "Ah [Y/N]!" Your brother called out. "We were looking for you. Come in, Come in!" Ajax shuffled you inside with the rest of the members. " I don't think I got to properly introduce you to Scaramouche." He faced you two towards each other. "Scaramouche, [Y/N]. [Y/N], Scaramouche." "Hey." He said. "Hi."

There stood an awkward silence between the two of you looking off to the side. You eyes met his and becoming flustered you had a light shade of pink on your cheeks before looking away. Hopefully he didn't notice, too bad he did. He had a grin on his face when he saw your cute reaction. It meant you were interested in him too, just the way you interested him.

"Hey Childe! We need your help with the drum set." "Alright!" Before going Ajax whispered in the Balladeers ear. It was too low for you to hear but it definitely made Scaramouche smirk even more. Waiting for Ajax to walk out of earshot Scaramouche asks you a question. "Wanna go for drinks at the bar?" Sheepishly you nodded.

Taking you by the waist he walked you to the bar in which Diluc was serving drinks to VIPs and singers. Sitting on the stools he called the waiter over. "What would you like to order?" He asked the two of you. He was eyeing Scaramouche ever so weirdly. Normally people would mistake it for being just his regular stoic face but this was different, him being one of your closest friends you seemed to tell when he was thinking of something. He either narrows his eyes just a bit or his eyebrows perk up.

"I'll have a glass of champagne ." Diluc looked over at you. "And for you?" "I'll take the same." He was pouring two glasses as scaramouche stoked up a conversation with you. "You have a high tolerance for these?" He asked. "I have a pretty good tolerance." You lied. The red haired bartender side eyed you 'Bull.' You had talked with him about drinking before, he gave you some samples and in less than 3 glasses you were close to blacking out. He slid the drinks to the two of you before going to serve other customers.

The conversation continued. "So did you enjoy the song?" He asked, taking a sip of the drink. "I thought it was fun. Though getting pushed by someone during my first concert was a little annoying." You replied as you twirled the drink in your hand. "Yknow childe speaks incredibly highly of you, it's nice to finally meet you in person." He spoke. His hair swayed showing off his jewelry and outlined his face. Red eyeshadow was around the creases of his eye and he wore a charming smile. You took a nice long sip of the drink in your hands. It wasn't bad, it tasted pretty good. "Same with you, they said to never meet your idols in person but it doesn't seem too bad." You joked. "You're not one of those crazy fans are you?" "Oh hell no." The guitarist let out a laugh before being rudely interrupted by a phone call. "Oh, hold on I gotta take this. I'll be right back." Scaramouche held the phone to his ear before walking off to a quieter place.

You sat there sipping your drink. Diluc began to make his way towards you. " 'pretty good tolerance' we both know you can barely last a glass." He said scowling, as he cleaned a glass. "I'll be finee, I'll just drink this to get a little tipsy for some confidence and I'll be good!" The red head raised an eyebrow. "You've been scowling ever since I got here, mind telling me what's going on?" He contemplated answering, when he looked up to tell you he saw the idol coming back. "Your dates here." Walking off before you could retort.

"Hey [Y/N], who was that? You know him or something?" Scaramouche questioned. "Yeah hes my friend, we go to the same school and share some classes. He owns the place here with his family and got us into the party lounge for VIPs." "I think we're gonna stay afterward for a meet and greet with you guys right?" "I believe so, I'm pretty sure most of the groups left to do other things but me and my friends are still here." He smiled at you. "Already introducing me to your friends? Moving a little fast arent we?" You were quick to respond to him saying "you know it's not like that!" He let out another laugh. God it sounded like music. "Just kidding around with you."

Off in the distance you could hear them announcing a new singer to the stage, Mona Megistus. The music began to play and you and Scaramouche decided to listen.
