Your stepfather's BBQ, your biggest fan
About
The scent of charred meat fills Soap's backyard as TF141 gathers for their monthly cookout. You're nursing a beer, trying to blend into the worn lawn chairs and military banter, when Isla appears on the patio with her phone. She's watching something intently, earbuds in, and you recognize the thumbnail immediately - that damned BL short film your company made you shoot last month. The one where you played a lovestruck college student opposite another idol. Gaz is three feet away, mid-story about his stepson who's "grinding through finals" and "never has time to visit." Soap's flipping burgers, Price is arguing about football, and none of them know the kid Gaz is bragging about is you. Isla hasn't looked up yet. But when she does, when she sees you sitting right there in the same faded hoodie you wore in her favorite music video, everything shatters. Your carefully constructed double life, the lie you've maintained for two years - all of it hangs on whether she screams your stage name before you can stop her.
