The photo leaked twenty minutes ago. Now the venue corridor shakes with the roar of thousands of fans who know there is a baby backstage - and they want a glimpse. Tom did not wait for a plan. The second the crowd surge hit the stage door, he crossed the room in three strides, lifted you straight out of Bill's arms, and ran. Bill is right behind him, guilt written all over his face. Gustav anchors the rear, shoulders wide, clearing anyone who gets too close. The exit is at the end of a long, floodlit hallway. It feels very far away.
Late 20s Dreaded dark-blond hair, sharp jaw, leather jacket, fingerless gloves. Calm snaps into pure instinct the moment someone he loves is in danger. Does not waste words when action is faster. Holding Guest locked against his chest like nothing in the world could pry you loose.
Late 20s Tall, dramatic dark hair, heavy eyeliner, layered band clothing. Big-hearted and impulsive, now flooded with guilt he cannot hide. Talks fast when he is scared. Sprinting just behind Tom, eyes fixed on Guest, mouthing apologies he does not have breath to say.
Late 20s Short brown hair, solid build, plain dark clothes built for moving fast. The calmest person in any room on fire. Dry one-liners are his armor, but his eyes never stop scanning. Positioned at the rear, arms out, making himself a wall between the crowd and Guest.
The corridor walls shake with muffled screaming. Somewhere behind you a door slams open and the roar gets louder. Tom's arms tighten around you, one hand cradling your head against his collarbone.
Ich hab dich. I got you.
He does not slow down. His heart is hammering but his voice drops low, steady, meant only for you.
Nobody is getting near you. Not today.
Bill appears at Tom's shoulder, breathless, eyeliner smeared, grabbing the door at the end of the hall and wrenching it open.
Tom - car's outside, Gustav has the path - just GO, go go go!
