Logan Myers looked around at the crowd. It was crazy to think that until a few months ago, he was practically invisible. There was a group of fans who had been there since the beginning. They were the ones who'd been there when he was covering other artists and saw his first attempts at writing his own music. Now, there was a mass crowd of people screaming his name. He ran his fingers through his hair and sat down. A line had already been formed. He lost himself talking to his fans and signing autographs. It was easy to leave his actual worries in the back of his mind. He could worry about the record label later.
Skye continued to watch him, wondering how he dealt with it all the time.soon he got bored heading up the fire escape and up to the roof for a better view. Being a street rat he didn't really care about how he got places. And having to hide his magical side just gave him even more reason. Plus it was fun.
Finally, he was done. Logan stretched and got up, saying goodbyes to whoever was left. He didn't want to go to the room and have to deal with the record label right away. Not yet. He went up to the roof. No one ever bothered him up there and it was the only place in the stuffy building where he could actually breathe. The cold air didn't bother him much, but he wished he'd brought a jacket at least. Logan was walking to the edge of the roof to look at the city lights when he noticed another figure near him.
Skye frowned when he lost sight of Logan, but soon sensed another presence behind him. Turning slowly he nearly fell off the edge of the roof. "Oh… My.. Stars.." his jaw literally dropped when he saw the other.
Logan turned around to see a tall figure. The other's hair was colored with streaks of silver, violet, and various shades of blue. It was the first thing he noticed. "Oh- um hey?" he said with a little wave of his hand. "What are you doing up here?" A wind blew and Logan shivered when he felt the cold air against his skin.
"Uhm… I was watching you down in the crowds…." he said sheepishly. "It's easier than trying to fight them… uhm…" Skye was suddenly grateful for his dark skin which hid most of the blush. "I swear I'm no more a stalker than they are…"
Logan smile and sighed. "I take it you're a fan, then. And it's alright. Kinda smart to stay up here rather than fight. The crowd can be…much…" he trailed off. Logan looked back out the city lights. "It's quiet up here though. I just needed to take a breather, ya know?" he stopped himself. He was almost rambling again. You haven't even asked for this person's name. "What's your name?"
"Skye…" he said quietly, somehow managing to regain his cool. "My name's Skye Wolfheart.." he said, getting to his feet. "And I don't blame you, I couldn't imagine being constantly bombarded by fans.."
Logan chuckled. "Yeah. Logan Myers. Although you probably knew that already." He glanced at Skye, noticing his striking violet eyes twinkling in the moonlight. He hadn't seen it earlier but this guy was admittedly cute. He mentally bashed himself. You can't just find every fan cute. You're never gonna see them again.
"Yeah… I'd like to think I'm your biggest fan.." he said, Why is he so handsome??? he thought. And why am I blushing??? "Uhm… I know I'm probably tresspassing, so… Imma just…" he sighed and headed for the edge of the roof, meaning to head down the fire escape.
Logan got up. "No no. Stay. I could use the company."" he cracked another smile. "Well how'd you find my music?" Logan wanted to talk to Skye. He liked talking to his fans, but with the rush of everything, there was hardly ever time for a proper conversation.
"Believe it or not I snuck up to hide in the rafters of a stadium during one of your concerts…" said Skye, laughing sheepishly. "It was more or less an accident, but I've loved your style ever since.."
Logan thought for a bit. "Why did you need to hide in the rafters?" he asked. He hoped it wasn't too much of an invasive question, but it definitely peaked his interest.
Skye sighed. "Just.. I needed a spot to hide from some very nasty people…" he said. "Which is almost always the case."
Logan's interest was definitely piqued. "Nasty people?" A thought occurred to him. Is Skye a criminal? But he didn't want to ask because it was rude.
"Yeah…" said Skye, "And before you get the wrong idea I'm not a criminal…" he said. "The worst I've ever done is beat up street thugs for picking on homeless kids, and occasional petty theft…. nothing serious.."
"Oh." Logan wasn't entirely sure what to say. "So, you're on the streets?" he wondered aloud. Why am I so awkward?? It's just another cute fan! he scolded himself.
"Yeah.." said Skye, "Have been since I was a kid.." helooked up at the other, hoping he wouldn't go pitying him like everyone else.
"Wow… That must've been hard." Logan looked at Skye. "You must be really strong if you've been on the streets for that long." He meant it and he made sure that Skye knew it. He already admired Skye and his admiration made it easy for him to talk to him. "I could use some strength right now." Logan laughed to ease some tension in himself.
Skye laughed, "All it really takes is a will to live.." he said, "It's not as hard as you think."
Logan looked over at Skye again before turning to the lights and pointing. "I get overwhelmed way too easily. Especially for a new pop star." He ran his hands through his hair nervously. "But anyway, tell me about yourself. It feels like it's been forever since I properly talked to someone."
"There's really not much to tell" said Skye sheepishly. Actually there really isn't much I can tell you…
"No way. Everyone has some story!" Logan said. And you did just say you've been on the streets since you were a kid. "Obviously, you don't have to tell me anything personal but there's gotta be something you can tell me about yourself. Like your favorites?" Logan smiled. It really had been a while since someone spoke to him as a human rather than an idol/star.
Skye shrugged, "Never really had time for favourites.." he said quietly, "I do like to read and listen to music when I get the chance… but I'm usually to busy trying to survive and help others survive…"
