(This one's in Brede's pov)

Brede wasn't used to being watched like this.

He'd been photographed before, of course he had. That was part of the job. Cameras, direction, controlled angles, expressions that meant something without meaning anything at all.

But this was different. This wasn't a shoot. This wasn't curated. This was people looking at him like they knew something about him.

It started small: a glance too long on the street, a second look in a café, someone whispering, not quite quietly enough.

At first, Brede told himself it was nothing. Just coincidence. Just his imagination filling in the gaps.

But then someone said his name.

Not *"hey, aren't you—"*

Just:

"Brede."

Like they already knew.

He was alone when it happened properly for the first time.

Kyle was in a meeting — something with the label, something tense — and Brede had gone out for a walk to clear his head. Oslo felt different now. Smaller. Sharper. Like the city itself had turned its focus inward.

He stopped at a small café, one he'd been to before, tucked away just enough to feel safe. It didn't feel safe anymore.

The barista smiled too knowingly. The girl by the window kept glancing over. Two guys by the door were whispering, phones angled slightly in his direction.

Brede ordered anyway. Sat anyway. Stayed anyway because leaving would mean admitting it had changed.

His phone buzzed.  A message from Kyle.

> *How's your day?*

Brede stared at it for a second.

He could say *fine*.

He could say *normal*.

Instead, he typed:

> *Weird.*

Three dots appeared instantly.

> *Bad weird?*

Brede looked up. One of the guys by the door lifted his phone a little higher. Brede met his eyes. Didn't look away.

Then he typed:

> *I think people know.*

The reply came slower this time.

> *I'm sorry.*

Brede's chest tightened slightly at that. Not guilt — just the weight of it.

He typed back:

> *Don't be.*

Because he meant it.

He left the café without finishing his drink. Not because he was scared but because he was thinking.

By the time he got back to the apartment, Kyle was already there. Pacing.

That was the first thing Brede noticed. Kyle didn't pace unless something was wrong.

"You're back," Kyle said quickly, relief flickering across his face.

Brede nodded, closing the door behind him. "Yeah."

Kyle studied him. "You okay?"

Brede shrugged lightly, slipping off his jacket. "I think I just had my first real experience of being... part of this."

Kyle went still. "What happened?"

"Nothing," Brede said. Then, after a pause: "Everything."

Kyle's expression tightened.

Brede stepped closer, softer now. "People are looking. They know my name. They're connecting it."

"I didn't mean for you to—"

"I know," Brede cut in gently.

Silence settled between them. Not uncomfortable. Just honest.

Kyle ran a hand through his hair. "I can make a statement. I can tell them to leave you out of it—"

Brede shook his head. "That won't work."

Kyle's voice dropped. "Then what do we do?"

Brede thought about the café. The whispers. The phones. Then he looked at Kyle.

At the way he was already trying to fix it. Protect it. Carry it alone and something in Brede shifted.

"You don't do anything," he said.

Kyle frowned. "What?"

"You don't shrink this to make it easier for me," Brede continued. "And you don't hide me to make it quieter."

Kyle's eyes searched his face. "Are you sure?"

Brede nodded.

"I knew who you were when I met you," he said. "I just didn't know what it would feel like to be seen *with* you."

"And now?" Kyle asked quietly.

Brede exhaled.

"Now I think..." He hesitated, then smiled faintly. "I think it's terrifying."

Kyle let out a soft, almost-laugh.

"But," Brede added, stepping closer, "it's not something I want to run from."

That landed.

Kyle's shoulders dropped slightly, tension easing.

"Okay," he said. "Okay."

Later that night, Brede stood by the window alone. The city stretched out below, lights flickering, life moving on like nothing had changed but everything had.

His phone buzzed again. A notification this time.

He opened it to a photo taken earlier that day outside the café. Him, mid-step, looking straight at the camera.

The caption read:

*"Is this the guy from Kyle Alessandro's song?"*

Thousands of likes already. Brede stared at it for a long moment. Then he locked his phone and set it down.

Behind him, Kyle shifted in his sleep on the couch, soft and unaware.

Brede turned, watching him. This was the part no one saw.

Not the performance.

Not the headlines.

Not the speculation.

Just this. Kyle, curled slightly into himself, breathing steady, finally at peace for a moment.

Brede leaned against the window, arms crossed loosely. The world could look. It could guess.

It could talk.

But it didn't get this version of them. Not all of it. And maybe that was the balance. Being seen — but not completely known.

Brede glanced back at the city one last time.

"Alright," he murmured under his breath.

"Let them look."

25: The Narrative

Kyle woke up on the couch. For a moment, he didn't know where he was. The room was pale with early morning light, the kind that made everything look softer than it actually was.

Then he felt the warmth beside him. Brede was still there, head tilted back against the armrest, one arm loosely draped across Kyle's shoulder like he'd fallen asleep mid-thought.

Kyle smiled faintly. His phone buzzed on the coffee table.

Once.

Then again.

Then again.

Kyle groaned softly and reached for it. Twenty-seven notifications. He opened the first message.

Manager:

Call me when you wake up.

The second.

Seriously. As soon as possible.

Kyle frowned slightly. That didn't sound like panic, but it definitely sounded urgent.

He slid carefully out from under Brede's arm and padded quietly into the kitchen. The coffee machine whirred while he dialed the number. His manager picked up instantly.

"Kyle."

"Good morning to you too," Kyle said.

"You've seen the reactions?"

"Not yet."

There was a pause.

"You should."

Kyle opened social media while holding the phone between his shoulder and ear.

At first it looked normal.

Clips from the performance.

Fans posting lyrics.

People praising the vulnerability.

Then he saw the headlines.

"KYLE ALESSANDRO CONFIRMS ROMANCE THROUGH SONG."

"THE MYSTERY MUSE OF 'SOMETHING REAL.'"

"NORWEGIAN MODEL LINKED TO EUROVISION STAR."

Kyle exhaled slowly.

"Okay," he said. "That was expected."

"That's not the part you need to see," his manager replied.

Kyle scrolled further. Then he froze. A promotional post from his record label. A polished graphic with his face centered dramatically.

Across the image, bold text:

"THE LOVE STORY BEHIND THE SONG."

Kyle's stomach dropped.

"Tell me you didn't approve this," he said quietly.

"I didn't," the manager answered. "Marketing did. They think it'll push the streaming numbers even further."

Kyle stared at the screen. The caption underneath read:

When love becomes music... the world listens.

Below it, thousands of comments were already pouring in. Kyle's grip tightened on the phone.

"That's not what this is," he said.

"I know."

"They're turning it into a campaign."

"I know."

Kyle rubbed his eyes, suddenly exhausted again.

"This song was supposed to be honest," he murmured. "Not a product."

On the other end of the call, his manager sighed. "Welcome to the industry."

Kyle didn't respond.

Instead he stared at the screen: the way something personal had been polished and packaged in a matter of hours.

"Can we stop it?" he asked.

"We can try," the manager said carefully. "But they'll argue it's helping your career."

Kyle's voice hardened in a way it rarely did.

"I don't care if it helps my career."

Silence hung on the line for a moment. Then his manager said quietly,

"Alright."

Kyle ended the call and set the phone down on the counter. Behind him, he heard movement. Brede appeared in the doorway, hair messy, eyes still half asleep.

"You vanished," he said softly.

Kyle forced a smile. "Didn't want to wake you."

Brede studied his expression. "What happened?"

Kyle hesitated. Then he turned the phone around so Brede could see the promotional graphic so Brede read it.

His jaw tightened almost immediately.

"They're selling it," he said.

Kyle nodded.

"They're selling us."

The words sat heavy between them. Brede leaned against the counter, arms crossed loosely.

“What do you want to do?"

Kyle thought about the performance last night: about the moment the theatre had gone silent, about how real it had felt to sing the truth without hiding. Then he looked back at the screen.

"I'm not letting them turn this into a storyline," he said.

Brede tilted his head slightly. "Then what is it?"

Kyle met his eyes.

"It's my life."

A slow smile spread across Brede's face — proud, a little amused.

"Good answer."

Kyle picked up the phone again.

"What are you doing?" Brede asked.

Kyle opened the camera.

"Fixing the narrative."

Brede raised an eyebrow. Kyle hit record.

The video was simple. No lighting. No staging. Just Kyle standing in his kitchen, hair messy, hoodie wrinkled.

"Hi," he said to the camera.

"I woke up this morning and saw a lot of headlines about my song and my life. And I just wanted to say something before the internet decides the story for me."

He paused. Behind the camera, Brede watched quietly.

"The song Something Real isn't a marketing campaign. It's not a brand. It's just... a song I wrote because I was scared of pretending."

Kyle exhaled slowly.

"And yes, there's someone in my life who matters to me. But that part isn't for headlines. It's just... mine."

He gave a small, tired smile.

"I hope the music is what people keep listening to."

He stopped the recording.

Brede blinked once. "That was terrifyingly brave."

Kyle laughed weakly. "I'm starting to think that's becoming a pattern."

Brede stepped forward and squeezed his shoulder.

"Whatever happens next," he said, "at least it'll be the truth."

Kyle nodded and for the first time that morning, the knot in his chest loosened.

Outside, the world was still deciding what story to tell about him. But this time, Kyle had decided he would tell it first.

24: After The Applause

The apartment was dark when they got back.

Not dramatic-dark. Just ordinary. Lamps off. Curtains half drawn. The kind of darkness that belongs to real life, not stages.

Kyle locked the door behind them and leaned back against it, exhaling slowly. The silence felt loud after the theatre.

Brede set his jacket down carefully on the chair. "You okay?"

Kyle nodded but then shook his head.

"I don't know," he admitted.

The adrenaline had carried him through the performance, through the backstage congratulations, through the photos and the polite handshakes and the endless You were incredible. But now that it was over, his body felt hollowed out. Tender.

Brede stepped closer but didn't touch him yet

"What's going on in there?"

Kyle stared at the ceiling like the answer might be written across it.

"It felt like I tore something open," he said quietly. "And everyone clapped."

Brede's chest tightened.

Kyle slid down the door until he was sitting on the floor, knees pulled loosely to his chest. "They heard it. All of it. And I didn't hide."

"That's a good thing," Brede said gently.

"I know." Kyle's voice wavered. "It just feels... big."

Brede lowered himself to sit beside him.

Close enough that their shoulders brushed: not pushing, not fixing. Just there.

For a long time, neither of them spoke. The apartment hummed softly: refrigerator, distant traffic, pipes ticking as they cooled. Normal sounds. Grounding sounds.

Eventually Kyle laughed under his breath. "Do you remember Basel?"

Brede's lips curved faintly. "The rehearsal hall?"

"The first one," Kyle said. "When you wouldn't look at me during the run-through."

Brede rolled his eyes. "I was trying not to distract you."

"You were distracting me," Kyle replied.

A quiet smile passed between them.

Back then everything had been tension. Almosts. Unsaid things vibrating in the air. Every brush of fingers had felt like stepping too close to a cliff edge.

Now the cliff was gone. Now they were just... here.

Kyle turned his head slightly. "Were you scared tonight?"

Brede considered it honestly. "Yes."

Kyle's brow furrowed. "Because of the attention?"

Brede shook his head. "Because I could hear how much you meant it."

That hit deeper than any headline.

Brede continued, voice steady. "Loving someone in private is one thing. But when you stand onstage and look at them like that in front of everyone..." He exhaled slowly. "That's a different kind of brave."

Kyle's throat tightened.

"I didn't do it to prove anything," he whispered.

"I know."

"I did it because I didn't want to pretend you weren't there."

Brede finally reached for him then — slow, deliberate — fingers sliding into Kyle's.

"You've never made me feel invisible," Brede said softly. Kyle's grip tightened.

They sat like that for a while. Hands linked. Shoulders touching. The world outside their walls still buzzing with opinions they hadn't read yet.

Eventually, Kyle's head tipped sideways until it rested against Brede's shoulder.

"I'm tired," he murmured.

"I can tell."

"Stay?"

Brede didn't hesitate. "Always."

Kyle shifted slightly, stretching his legs out along the floor. Brede adjusted so Kyle could lean more fully against him. It wasn't glamorous. It wasn't cinematic.

It was real and Kyle's breathing started to even out after a few minutes, the weight of him settling heavier as exhaustion took over.

Brede stared at the opposite wall, mind quiet for once.

He thought about the first time he'd seen Kyle: all nerves and light and impossible brightness. Thought about the rumors, the distance they'd tried to keep, the careful restraint.

He thought about tonight, about the way Kyle's voice had cracked on the third line, about the way he'd held eye contact during the last chorus, about how the entire theatre had felt like it was holding its breath.

Brede understood something now. This wasn't about surviving the storm, it was about choosing to stand in it — together.

Kyle stirred slightly in his sleep, fingers tightening unconsciously around Brede's hand.

Brede looked down at him, heart soft.

"You did it," he whispered, though Kyle couldn't hear him.

Outside, somewhere far away, a car passed. Inside, there was only the steady rhythm of Kyle's breathing.

No applause. No headlines.

Just two people on a living room floor, learning how to exist in the quiet after being seen.

And for once, that quiet didn't feel fragile, it felt earned.
