Protective

"Hey," A tall, muscular guy approaches her backstage. She vaguely remembers him. A mate of Jones'.
"You're the soloist?" He chortles, "Oh, this is going to be a piece of cake. How small are you? Two foot? Powerless, baby!"
Piper feels a presence behind her. Please do not be anyone who knows her. She could defend herself.
"Oh, really?" James. Amazing. "She's a regionals winner, actually. And you, I believe you stumbled in your last year's round eight duet? Piper doesn't stumble."
"Yeah, she's pretty brilliant. So why don't you back off?" That voice. It's so warm. Finn. James and Finn. Oh, gosh.
"Who even are you?"
"Your worst nightmare."
"Someome a lot taller than you." The guy appears seriously intimated all of a sudden. The two of them together are powerful. He puts his hands up and walks away.
She swivels on her heel.
"I can stand up for myself!"
"We know." They give the same lopsided grin in unison. The one that makes her melt. She makes a noise of annoyance.
Secretly, she's grateful for both of them. The two most important men in her life.
