....
The moment I heard him singing, I knew I was in trouble.
Don't get me wrong, I heard everyone singing. It was lovely to watch my little brother's show next to Kismet. I was chilling and singing in the audience next to everyone else, but, one time in particular, I heard this sweet voice.
I really didn't know why, but it caught my attention quickly. And you may be thinking: Ok, whose voice are you talking about?
The funny thing is; I didn't know either.
Then, Branch called us over to join them. It was exciting to go back on stage, and I used the opportunity to look out for whose voice was that caught my attention.
It was a matter of fact until I heard that voice again. I turned where the voice came from and there he was, one of the Kismet guys. He had yellow glittery skin, wearing a nice denim made outfit and had cool rainbow hair. He quickly noticed I was staring, which made me feel a little embarrassed, and he moved next to me to keep singing what was left of the song.
It was nice. We laughed, danced and sang together, like if we were old friends meeting again at a party. I had no idea what it was, but I really liked his voice, even if all of us were singing in chorus, I was specifically listening to him.
...
Once everything was over, everyone met behind the stage to chat and rest with food and drinks. My brothers, Poppy and her family, Bruce's family and all the team of Kismet were having a great time together. I had a drink in hand and was just standing there, watching my brothers together again. It's been so long since I've felt this vibe with them. It was really lovely.
Everyone was on their own business and I wasn't really in the conversation so I left my drink on a table and went towards the theater curtain to take a break from the crowd. I could feel the fresh air that entered from outside together with the distant voices of the gathered trolls. I was feeling so relaxed, until one voice I wasn't expecting took me out of surprise.
"Hey." Spoke that sweet voice that I've already heard in the concert.
I turned and next to me there he was, the bright troll I performed with like half an hour ago. He had come to talk to me.
"Oh, hey." I said back.
I couldn't help but remember that he saw me staring at him, so to ease the embarrassment I tried to keep up with a normal conversation. I was actually looking forward to getting to know him a little bit.
"Floyd, right? My name is Boom." He stretched his hand to introduce himself. "I just wanted to say you gave a great performance with your brothers back there."
I shook his hand feeling a little flustrated at the compliment.
"Oh wow, thank you. You did a great job too." I smiled back at him and everything was going fine. Until I opened my mouth again. "I really LOVED your voice."
I quickly realized what I had said and looked back at Boom. He was surprised and somewhat blushing, though not as much as I was. Man, I could feel the heat on my cheeks from embarrassment, my hands and forehead started sweating and soon I started babbling.
"I mean, no. NO- Yes, I liked your voice, but love of love- not that I hated it- I mean- I really liked it- but no- I loved it- I MEAN- well, yes?- Is love a strong word?- what I'm trying to say is... Please kill me, I'm so awkward." I finally gave up placing my hands on my face so he wouldn't look at me.
All of a sudden I heard him trying to hold his laugh so I peeped between my fingers to see him.
"Come on, you can laugh." I said defeated.
"Hahaha! Sorry sorry. It's just that I didn't expect that. It was cute." I blushed again, still covering my face with my hands, looking through my fingers. I saw how he realized what he had said too.
"NO- wait- I mean, it was cute but- not in that way?- I mean- yeah, no, I can 't get out of this one." Boom gave up, looking all flustrated and placing his hand on top of his mouth like trying to shut himself up.
We looked at each other again and started laughing at how awkward the conversation had become. I finally took my hands off my face and we kept giggling until I tried to keep the conversation open.
"So, why did you come here? Aren't you going to celebrate with my brother and your band?" I asked moving my hair out of the way to see him properly.
"Well, I was curious because I saw you looking at me back in the show." He teased crossing his arms with a smirk on his face.
"Oh god, no." I said laughing and covering my face again with one of my hands. "It was- It was the voice thing." I admitted blushing of embarrassment while he laughed a little.
"But hey, that actually felt nice. I don't think I have heard anyone apart from my family saying that they love my voice." Boom cheered me up, even if he was still laughing. "And, you know... coming from someone I'm a fan of, makes it feel twice as good." He said, avoiding eye contact.
I took my hand off my face and looked back at him confused.
"Wait, someone you are a fan of?" He wasn't looking back at me but he had a big smile on his face.
"Yeah, that's another reason why I came to talk to you." He finally looked at me and smiled. "Turns out I went to one of your concerts a couple years ago. After that I kept listening to some of your songs, they are actually pretty good."
I didn't see that coming and I just looked at him surprised and flustrated, again. He listens to my music!
"Wow, I don't know what to say, thank you." I smiled, feeling nervous. "I would've never thought that you would listen to my music." I said smiling and still a little confused. "You know, my songs... Have you heard the lyrics too?"
"Yep, why?" He asked, bragging with a smile.
We stayed in silence for a few seconds, like if we were examining each other. I was squinting my eyes as if I wanted to see more of him. You see, you could say the lyrics of my songs are quite "different" from the rest of the pop songs. They are more romantic. To be more specific, they are homoromantic. So, Boom listening to my music could reveal some things about him.
Suddenly, the boys of kismet called Boom to make their way home.
"Boom, Come on, we are leaving!" Trickee said, waving. We hadn't noticed but everyone was preparing to leave already.
"Ok guys, give me a second!" Replied Boom to his group. He turned back at me and began to look a little anxious. "Soo, it was nice to meet you, Floyd. Uh, we could um... you know, hang out somewhere... If you want." He said fidgeting with his fingers. He was really cute and I was beginning to think about asking him out too, so I agreed.
"Sure. It's a date then?" I said teasing, but actually meaning it.
"Ye- WAIT WHAT?- I mean- Yes, YES! A date!" He answered with a cute nervous grin. I also giggled and nodded.
"Ok, so tomorrow at Pop Village's cafe? 5 pm?" I asked smiling.
"Yeah, ok." He said radiant. It was literally so adorable how happy he looked.
"Boom, let's go!" Now Hype was calling.
"Ok, bye Floyd!" He waved and began to walk quickly towards his group.
"Bye! See ya tomorrow, Boom!" I waved too. I saw Boom and the rest of Kismet leave the place. Brandy and Bruce were cleaning next to Clay and John and Poppy and her family had already left too. Then, Branch approached me with a smile.
"Hey, I saw you laughing with Boom. What were you talking about?" He asked curiously. I smiled back at my little brother.
"Oh, you know. Stuff." He didn't know, but I had a date with one of the boys of his band tomorrow.
