A Different Beat (For Angel)

[Love Is Demonic]

Darren smiled as his hands worked around his equipment, the beat building through the auditorium, easily twenty thousand people were screaming in joy to be watching him and he'd never felt better, he set up the programs to run the tune to one of his more famous songs and walked away from the setup with a microphone in hand, approaching the fans he began to sing and they all screamed louder. He was a neko and that made him all the more loved, his bright blue hair and tail was natural, a rarity among his species and he'd always had incredible talent with music and he'd quickly rose among the charts to the top of the worlds talent. As he sang a single fan pushed his way through the crowd to get closer, it was a young man who had the appearance of a druggie, no money left after spending it all on memorabilia to Darren and now he planned to make him and Darren legendary, he pulled himself on the stage and smiled, Darren looked at him strangely but his look and singing both stopped when the man pulled a gun out from his clothes and took aim at Darrens heart, the neko stared in terror as he couldn't think of what to do, his body guards were backstage, there was nobody close enough to stop him who'd risk themself, he had the sullen thought go through his mind 'I... don't want to die...'

It all happened in an instant. A man, barely older than the singer himself, grabbed the druggie, causing the shot to go off above the singer. A brief scuffle ensued, and by the time the security arrived, the boy had been lightly injured. He got off the stage, and sat on the ground, getting some cheers from those closest to him, and even a few pats on the back. He nursed his bloodied cheek, just glad he'd saved the singer.

Darren stared in disbelief at what occured, but had ducked at the shot and felt terrified, a bodyguard came to him and pulled him up and quickly examined him "Your fine on the outside, do you want to leave sir?" He asked and Darren shuddered a little but shook his head and pushed himself away from the bodyguard and walked forward up the stage and saw the boy who'd saved him, he hopped down from the stage, moved forward and hugged him "Thank you so much" He said

[AngelicImpurity]

The boy blushed crimson, and tentatively hugged him back. He was soft... And warm...
"N-No problem..." he said, noticing the fine scent of the neko... Oh God, not now... Don't think like that now...

[Love Is Demonic]

Darren finally pulled away from the boy and noticed his cheek and said "Your hurt, come with me, I'll get that looked at for you and maybe we could chat a little... I want to thank you... you saved my life"

[AngelicImpurity]

"Thank you." he said, and stood up, helping Darren up as well.

Darren helped the boy onto the top of the stage and as they walked by he grabbed the microphone that he'd dropped earlier and turned to face the audience "Hey everybody, I'm terribly sorry but I'm cutting the concert short, as redemption, your all invited here tomorrow for a retake though the security is going to but a little tighter, and everyone give a hand to this guy here, he just saved my life!" He said with a wide smiled and the audience erupted into a loud cheer as Darren giggled, his tail flicking side to side

[AngelicImpurity]

The boy blushed heavily, and gave a polite bow to the crowd. He was always nervous in front of so many...

Darren noticed the boys blush and smiled "Oh and a... there's going to be three free drinks for everyone tomorrow, I'll order in extra, have a good night people" He said and put the mic in the stand and turned off the music, then lead the boy backstage to his room, passing a bodyguard he said "Get one of the ambulance guys to come back here with some stiches, he might need them" He said and the bodyguard nodded and walked away as Darren sat the boy on the couch and sat next to him "Want a drink?"

Darren then said "Hey and I'll made sure everyone gets a free drink on me tomorrow, have a good night, please leave in a orderly fasion and don't hurt anybody, bye guys" into the microphone and lead the boy backstage after turning the music off, he took him into the back and called over a medic from the ambulances that'd arrived "Hey I'm fine but bring something to clean my friend up here" He said to the medic who nodded and went to get his kit, Darren meanwhile sat the boy on a couch "Do you want a drink? I don't have alcohol but any soda is available for you"

[AngelicImpurity]

The boy nodded, getting a pepsi. He sipped at it, wincing as his cheek was fixed up. Once all the was done, he looked at the singer, blushing cutely.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
