More sentimental with this piano version.
it’s been a LONG time since alex has spent time in this park ( too many memories ; too many lost things hiding in the bushes ) but something draws him in now, tugging him off from the original route of his evening walk. more instinct than anything draws him to THEIR spot, long un-used tennis courts with weeds clawing out of the cracks and loose chainlink fence that clinks in the wind. it’s a little more run - down than he remembers , a little more SAD , but that very well could just be him. eyes close, fingers placing earbuds into ears and restarting his music, words half - breathed half song under his breath, “ it’s been a long day without you my friend ---- ” of its own accord body reacts to the music, sweeping into the motions of improvised choreography ( EMPTY, WANTING, REACHING for someone that isn’t there ).

help me, it's like the walls are caving in sometimes I feel like giving up no medicine is strong enough someone help me i'm crawling in my skin sometimes I feel like giving up but I just can't it isn't in my blood
ANONED was invited to the AMAs ; alex freitas was decidedly not --- at least not until his producer got his hands on the guest list and helpfully poked and prodded a few names around. alex freitas : choreographer. it’s not quite a LIE ; more like a half - truth, something that might have been much MORE true had things gone differently ( if alex hadn’t wanted ice cream, if he’d been looking at the road, if someone had taken an uber instead, if --- ). but for now, it works, even if alex wonder now why he even came, fingers popping open the top few buttons of his shirt as he steps out briefly for some fresh air. “ oh --- ” he says, gaze fixing on another, “ --- not intruding am i? the smell of CHAMPAGNE is getting a bit MUCH. ”

“you sure have a lot to say for someone who is just here to enjoy the show,“ jay glanced at the door, “but i don’t know if your words or wisdom will have enough time to work their magic.”
back home, when music was little more than a hobby and he never dreamed of it being anything more, being honest onstage was easy. you never had to think about who would be watching, who you would be letting down.
“look, i’ll be late if i don’t head out,” he paused and began to head out, before looking at alex again, “i mean, you seem cool. if you want, you can- come with? unless you’re busy or anything. it’d be nice to talk to someone not in the band for a minute.”
“ everyone talks to the walls but no one expects them to start talking back, ” alex mutters cryptically. hands moving to pass under the water from the facet one more time before he shuts it off. it’s times like this --still almosts in the bathroom with his hands under cold water-- that he wonders would it would’ve been like if he hadn’t turned down the offer to perform ( if ANONED hadn’t ). he can’t HIDE behind a computer screen forever.
he looks at ray’s reflection in the mirror, “ go ahead --- ” he says with a small smile, “ better go meditate those nerves away, huh? we can chat later --- i’ll be around. y’know, everywhere. ” it might be a semblance of a wink that he gives at the other before he fishes his phone out of his inside pocket. gaze raises one brief time, half of an aborted shrug raising shoulder slightly, “ --- good luck --- break a leg ; for whatever that’s worth. ”
for a while it was good ---- really good. kayla and i? we connected. sometimes i still think we do.
ALEX FREITAS && KAYLA BRIAN ( choreo: alex freitas )

“from backstage?“ jay raised an eyebrow but didn’t press. he rubbed the back of his neck, before grimacing, “oh- that.”
he looked around, before tentatively continuing, a smile on his face, “who cares about being relatable? haven’t you ever seen the expendables? the vulnerable action hero is over.“
“besides, people want their rockstars to be fearless. you can see the worry all over their voices and their-“ he mimed playing the bass, “strings.“
“ who gives a shit anyway? ” call him a bit TOO MUCH old school or --- whatever --- but he places too much on INDIVIDUALITY. perhaps not necessarily relatable, but honest is good, important. even under ANONED’s blindfold, alex feels honest, even if he is lying by omission. “ play for yourself. ”
“ --- anyway, you should know fearless doesn’t mean emotionless. BRAVERY and FEAR aren’t mutually exclusive. all that matters is that you jump in the end. ” he sounds TOO MUCH like kayla now, and he abruptly stops talking, shrugging and turning to tuck hands into his pocket.
jayafterdark:
“– you’re probably right,“ jay looked down, slumping his shoulders, “i just, sometimes, i have to tell myself that i’m not afraid in order to be brave.”
“it’s dumb, i know,“ he laughed weakly, “before you came in i was giving myself a pep talk in the mirror. visualizing success. all that stupid stuff.“
he made eye contact with the other person and shrugged. he extended a hand, “i’m jay. and you are?“
“ haven’t EXACTLY been back page news, have you? ” says alex not unkindly, friendly smile flitting across his face. it’s true, though ; jay cook’s arrival to DEAD AFTER DARK hasn’t exactly gone incognito by any definition. “ but reall, i’ve heard it’s good. nerves keep you humble, relatable. haven’t you HEARD? the age of emotionless, macho men is OVER. ”
there’s an almost imperceptible glance down at the offered hand, before he reaches out for it, a firm shake given ( a HANDSHAKE can leave quite the impression ). “ alex --- nothing special to the name. just here to enjoy the SHOW. ”
jayafterdark:
“i hate that this is going to sound like i’m making this about me-“ jay bit his lower lip, looking around at all the people around him, “but i just-”
“it’s not even stage fright,” he elaborated tentatively, “it’s just that i’ve never even been to one of these before. and now i have to be on that stage?“
alex has found refuge in the bathroom, cold water running soothingly over his hands. it’s NOTHING, he tells himself ; no one has any reason to believe he is anyone but alex freitas --- his story is AIR TIGHT ( pretty much ),:a plus one, a choreographer, a nobody --- alex always HAS been at disappearing in crowds.
he should keep to his own business, remain quiet and FORGETTABLE but he can’t help but pipe up, “ ---- sounds like stage fright to me, ” he says, “ but that can be good ; sometimes it’s the COCKY ones that fall to pieces. ”
a few plot ideas!!! Intro is over here and if ur interested please hmu on discord at disappointment swords#5730
Someone who knew Alex before the accident (knew him with Kayla); knows him for his dancing and choreo. Can be someone close to him who has known him for that whole time or someone who was just a fan online and was sad when his videos just stopped with no explanation over a year ago?
Literally any plot having to do with someone loving ANONED and not knowing he’s Alex
Could be someone who admires him
Someone’s who close to him and he hasn’t told
Maybe even a friend he does a lil choreo for on the DL and doesn’t know he’s ANONED
Someone who is like, OBSESSED with figuring it out??? Like they feel like this guy is their SOULMATE and is going crazy to figure it out?? Or not even to that extreme lol.
Someone who was friends with Kayla??? Idk
Also if anyone’s chara isn’t at the awards thing hmu bc Alex isn’t there for,,, obv reasons.
hey guys!!! i’m ras and oh my god i am so excited for this. i’ve been wanting to play this chara for a lil while now and i’m SUPER hype to finally get things rolling. the big takeaway is that no one knows the connection between alex and ANONED! specifics under the cut c:
「 SHAWN MENDES, MALE, 20, SHAWN MENDES. 」┈ did you read that latest viral gossip issue on ALEX FREITAS / ANONED? he is one of my favorite POP artists. they’ve been releasing music for ONE YEAR now, but viral gossip has only been talking about them for the last THREE MONTHS. get this, i think i heard NO ONE ACTUALLY KNOWS WHO ANONED IS. they’re known as the WALLFLOWER of the music industry, since they have a rep for being WITHDRAWN but EMPATHETIC, but who knows. maybe that will change once they become #1. ( RAS, 19, EST, SHE/HER. )
