After the start of a very promising musical career, Lukas is chosen to represent his country, Lithuania, at the Eurovision Song Contest. What seems to be an incredible opportunity to get famous worldwide slowly turns into a huge drama, as two candid...
Lukas licked his lips thoughtfully. Who were Turkey and Denmark's contestants again ? Tomas had made him learn their names, but his memory was as bad as ever. He obviously knew their songs: both on the subject of love, both pretty cool and liked on YouTube. Although Turkey's candidate received a lot of backlash for being from a country that once refused to participate to Eurovision for "moral" reasons, she was appreciated by the bookmakers and the majority of the contest fans.
He clicked the link and waited restlessly. He scrolled through the article and finally found the picture. It was blurry and obviously taken by someone that didn't want to be seen, but no one could be fooled: the two females candidates were kissing at a café. Lukas nearly sent "so?" to Tomas but realised what he was seeing - Turkey would not be too happy about this...

Lukas didn't want to judge Turkey too quickly, but this kiss didn't bode well for the future of the Turkish contestant. And... maybe even the Danish one! Wouldn't this be taken as a competition issue? Two candidates that don't want the other one to lose because they're in love... Calm down, Lukas, it's just a kiss.

Lukas let his phone fall on the sofa. Yeah, maybe I should go to bed, now... But he couldn't stop himself from gathering more information about the Kiss Scandal. He grabbed his phone again and scrolled through Twitter until his eyes hurt. By midnight, there was nothing new: just the blurry picture and the deafening silence coming from the Twitter accounts of the two women involved. He knew he wouldn't learn anything new today.
Lukas was ready to go to bed with a good book when he saw a Messenger notification.

What ? Bill Barnes? Ireland's candidate? Lukas rolled his eyes when he saw his Facebook profile picture. He had put a fire stock photo. Because his song is called Fire. Wow, amazing.

He didn't mean to sound so dry, but he didn't know what Bill wanted at all. No one contacted another contestant through Facebook Messenger! Who was this guy? After the semi-finals, some friendships usually became public. Only friendships. Lukas was scared of doing something bad before the beginning of the semi-finals... Maybe I shouldn't have answered him, but it would have looked rude as hell... He didn't want to become the next scandal! Be careful, Lukas.

Lukas took a deep breath. God, I'm too intrigued to say no. He typed "Okay, talk to you tomorrow." and set his phone on plane mode.
