Danica smiled at Jory and let herself wonder a little what it would be like to have two parents and a sibling. A little sister or brother to play with, to share secrets with. A built-in friend. She held back her sigh this time and leaned over the railing a bit to point out the best of the club's landmarks. Over there they could just see a dance floor filled with Muggles and open-minded wizards. This way was the main bar and there was the VIP dance floor. There, highly visible just now, was the stage. The lights had just come up and Jai was singing Levitate, one of her favorite songs.
Danica looked over at Jory. "Can we go down there?" she asked. "I really like this song. Would you be okay watching the rest of it?"

Jory hesitated for a moment, then finished off his latest glass and nodded. "I think I can manage that," he said, letting himself smile with his signature broad smile and bright blue eyes. "Let's go have some fun." He was expected to speak with Jai after the concert, but he was much closer to being able to slip away. "Lead the way."

Danica grinned brightly and soon they were back down the stairs, at the front of the crowd. It was easy to ignore the odd picture snapped. So many of the photos were for Jai anyway. She let herself forget for a little while and just enjoy the music. Then, when the final encore had died down, she gestured for Jory to follow her, still grinning. However safe Jai might be, he was an amazing performer.

When Indigo had shown up, he'd headed straight for the VIP. That was where the concert was, and that was where Jory would be. He'd known the likelihood that he'd see anything more than the last couple songs, but he'd had a chance to earn boyfriend points after earlier and they'd probably end up back at home soon anyway.
It was a huge crowd, and Indigo's attempts to find Jory were crushed pretty quickly. In fact when he'd managed to find a place he could see the stage from it had been dark. He'd assumed that he'd missed it until the lights went up. After that he'd been pulled in.
After though, after a few incredible songs, the crowd had started breaking up and Indigo had finally spotted his boyfriend. "Jory!" he called. "Jory, wait up!"

Jory's eyes widened. This didn't give him the time he'd hoped to have and planned to have to sober up and come up with a way to tell Indigo. He froze in place as soon as he heard Indigo's voice, and then turned around, a hopefully natural smile on his face. Oh, who was he kidding, it wasn't natural at all. "Hey, Indigo, you said you didn't want to come," he said, praying his voice came out okay and neither shaky nor stirred.

"I wanted to come," Indigo corrected. "I couldn't, though. But they were having tech issues the whole time and it was messing stuff up so there's like, a break." It was way more complicated than that, but he doubted Jory wanted to hear about it. "Anyway I couldn't leave you here all alone, right?" He wrapped his arms around Jory and leaned forward to steal a kiss.

Jory resisted not the arms, but the kiss. "If you'd wanted to come, you'd have come, and you're only here now because of problems with your game stuff," he pointed out, the few drinks he'd had giving him the courage to say so rather than melt into Indigo's arms. Also, maybe he was avoiding telling Indigo what had happened, just a little.

"Not only," Indigo said. He pulled back a little, hurt by the refused kiss. Still, it was his own fault if Jory was angry with him. "I was streaming on twitch, I couldn't just..." He might as well have been speaking a different language and he knew it. He sighed. "I'm sorry. But I'm here now! I tried to find you before it ended, I didn't know you'd be this close to the stage."

Jory gave another watery smile and focused his attention on one hand as his fingers fiddled with a lock of Indigo's hair. "Yeah...it's cool. Jai actually pulled me on stage earlier," he said, then continued in a fast, small voice, "and then he kissed me." Please don't hate me, please don't hate me.

Indigo's lips had parted to say how obscenely cool that must have been, but he was stopped by Jory's confession. Part of him still thought it was cool, but that part was buried almost immediately. Jory wasn't acting like it had been some one-sided kiss on the cheek.
Indigo stiffened slightly, but didn't pull away just yet. "Where?" he asked. "Wait..." Did something else happen? He wouldn't speak that thought out loud. What was wrong with him that he'd even thought it? He dropped his hands and shifted backward, not by much, but enough to breathe. "Why are you acting all guilty?" What wasn't Jory telling him?

Jory brought his hands away from Indigo and dropped them to his waist, where they resumed his nervous wringing. "I mean, it's not like I snogged him on the stage or something, I swear! I just...didn't run the other way, either. It was only a few seconds and I don't want you to hate me," he said, his words speeding up until they felt like the slurred together in the end.

Don't want you to hate me. Indigo's brows drew together. "I don't hate you," he said. "And you don't have to be afraid of me." It had probably been totally innocent and Jory was terrified because of all the jerks and arse-holes he'd been with in the past. Indigo stepped forward again and brought up his arms. "I love you Jory, I'm not going to like, stop loving you because some rock star thought you're cute. You are cute."

Jory let out a huge, relieved sigh that shuddered on its way out, then pulled close to Indigo again. He didn't need to give Indigo any more information, he should just take this and be happy. "Maybe I just shouldn't have come at all," he said. He should have known that something stupid like this would happen, why else would Jai randomly invite him to a concert?

"No!" Indigo argued. "You had some fun, didn't you? Have you been upset this whole time?" He pulled Jory into a hug. Jory was feeling guilty because of what, a peck on the lips or something by Jai Peacock? A hint of a thrill swept through Indigo at the thought. His boyfriend could probably be with a rock star, but loved him. And yet Jory had been angry when he'd first seen him.
Indigo's brows drew together. If Jory had been so worried, why had he been angry first? Maybe you interrupted something. No, that was ridiculous. If Jory had been coming here to try to get with a rock star he wouldn't have asked Indigo to come with him in the first place. Maybe his plans changed after that kiss.
Don't want you to hate me.
No. This was Jory. They loved each other. They'd been together for a while and Jory had never even looked at anyone else. How could Indigo think these things?

Jory put his arms tightly around Indigo. "I felt so bad! He took me backstage after and we were gonna talk, but then his manager dragged him off and me and Danica started talking, so I got to calm down some. It's been mostly fun, except for that whole stupid panic thing I do." His eyes traced the familiar lines of Indigo's face, reminding himself that yes, he had made the right choice.
