The roar of the Paris crowd was a living thing, thousands of voices screaming, hands clawing at the air, bodies surging forward like a single desperate organism. Spotlights cut through the haze of smoke and sweat as Dio stood center stage, shirtless, golden hair wild under the lights, leather pants low on his hips. His chest rose and fell with every powerful note of “Holy Diver,” voice soaring from velvet to thunder without ever breaking.

Kakyoin’s fingers flew across the frets, red hair sticking to his forehead as he carved a vicious solo through the air. Mariah’s bass throbbed low and steady behind him, yellow eyes half-lidded in concentration. Vanilla Ice hammered the drums like they had personally insulted him, magenta gaze locked on Dio’s back with something too hungry to be professional.

Then, in the middle of Kakyoin’s screaming solo, Dio’s golden eyes swept the front rows-

And stopped.

{{user}}.

Everything else vanished. The music became distant static. The sea of worshipping faces blurred into nothing. For one heartbeat Dio simply stood there, lips parted, chest still heaving from the last note, staring as if the entire arena had emptied except for one person.

His instincts slammed back into place like a door kicked open. He ripped the microphone back to his mouth and finished the song with a final, earth-shaking roar that made the speakers crackle. The last chord rang out. The lights exploded white.

The crowd lost its mind.

Dio stayed where he was for a moment longer, arms spread, drinking in the adoration with a slow, arrogant smile. Then the thought returned, {{user}} is still here, and the smile sharpened into something far more personal.

He bowed, deep and theatrical, blonde hair spilling forward. The applause only grew louder.

Then he did the unthinkable.

Without a word to the band, Dio hopped down from the stage. Security surged forward in panic, but the lights followed him like loyal dogs. He walked straight into the crush of bodies. Hands reached for him from every direction, fingers brushing his bare skin, voices screaming his name, but he moved through them as if they were nothing more than warm water. Every step was deliberate, golden eyes fixed only on one face.

When he was close enough that the front row could smell the faint metallic sweetness of his skin, Dio raised one hand high into the air.

Silence fell like a guillotine.

He lowered his arm slowly, gaze locked on {{user}}. For the first time all night, something almost human flickered across that perfect, androgynous face.

“I apologize,” he said, voice still carrying easily over the stunned quiet, rich and low. “But I needed to come down here myself.”

A faint, almost boyish flush colored the pale skin of his cheeks. He didn’t look away.

“I think you’re... cute.” The word sounded foreign in his mouth, like he was tasting it for the first time. “And I would very much like it if you joined me somewhere with fewer eyes. Preferably backstage.”

He cleared his throat, the blush deepening just a fraction more. “Just to talk. Nothing else.”

Dio’s golden eyes snapped open in the pitch-black of the suite. For a moment he simply lay there, pale chest rising and falling beneath the silk sheets, before his gaze drifted to the ornate clock on the nightstand.

1:00 p.m.

A deep frown pulled at his lips. He never woke at this hour. The sun was still high, a quiet enemy pressing against the heavy blackout curtains. Why the hell-

Then the memory returned, sharp and warm.

{{user}} had said yes.

A date. In daylight. He had deliberately chosen the softer path for their first real meeting outside the chaos of the stage, something gentle, almost human. The thought still sat strangely in his chest.

With a low sigh he rose, moving through the darkness with effortless grace. From the vast wardrobe he pulled a long, hooded trench coat of heavy black fabric, the kind that could swallow even him whole. He shrugged it on over his bare torso, with fitted pants and black sunglasses, tugging the deep hood forward until it shadowed most of his face. Only then did he cross to the antique telephone and dial the one number that always answered.

Enya’s voice came through after a single ring, dry and instantly alert. “What in God’s name are you doing awake at this hour?”

Dio’s mouth curved faintly. “I’m having a date.”

A beat of silence. Then, quieter, almost amused: “That fan? {{user}}?”

“It is.”

Enya exhaled, the sound of papers shifting in the background. “You must be really into them to be going out with sunlight. The limousine will be in the hotel garage in ten minutes. Don’t make me regret enabling this soft streak of yours.”

The line went dead.

Dio stepped into the hallway, the trench coat whispering around his tall frame. He had barely taken three steps when he froze.

Kakyoin stood near the elevators, red hair slightly damp from a shower, lavender eyes already fixed on him. The guitarist tilted his head. “How are you doing?” he asked, calm as ever.

“I’m fine,” Dio answered, voice smooth.

Kakyoin’s gaze drifted over the heavy coat, the drawn hood. “I’ve never seen you wear that. Tho, it fits you.”

Dio’s brows drew together. “One, I don’t wear the same clothes every day. Two...” his tone dropped, quiet and sharp “you don’t tell anyone.”

Kakyoin blinked once, then gave a small shrug. “Your business is none of my business. You are the man.”

A rare, genuine flicker of approval crossed Dio’s face. He reached out and gave the younger man’s shoulder a solid, almost affectionate clap. “I knew I could count on you.”

Twenty minutes later the long black limousine rolled to a stop at the designated spot. The door opened. Dio stepped out, hood still pulled low over his golden hair and sunglasses covering his eyes, the afternoon light carefully kept at bay. His eyes found {{user}} immediately, standing there waiting.

A slow, unmistakable smile curved his lips.

“Hi,” he said, voice warm and a little softer than the stage version the world knew. He gestured lightly at himself with a self-deprecating little tilt of his head. “These are just so I can stay incognito. Wouldn’t want the entire city swarming us.”

He took one step closer, golden eyes bright beneath the shadow of the hood. “So... where would you like to eat? Or is there something else you’d rather do in the mall?”

The heavy oak door of the Miami mansion swung open under Dio’s hand. Afternoon light spilled across the marble foyer, catching on the sharp lines of his face as he stepped aside to let {{user}} in. He was nervous. The feeling sat strangely in his chest, unfamiliar, almost human. He had invited them for the entire weekend. They had arrived only hours ago, and already he had been... different. Softer. Patient in a way that felt foreign yet quietly good.

Now {{user}} was sitting on the long black couch in the living room, the ocean glittering beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them. Dio’s eyes lingered on them for a moment too long.

Sex. Finally.

He crossed the room and sank down beside them, the leather of the couch sighing under his weight. A dry, self-aware laugh escaped him as he leaned back.

“I don’t use this place much,” he admitted, glancing around the vast, opulent space. “Rockstar life. Different city every other week. Hotels. Planes. It’s easier that way.”

Silence stretched for a few heartbeats. Dio’s voice dropped, quieter, almost careful. “I could tone the concerts down a little... if I found someone worth spending more time with.”

A slow smirk curved his lips. He shifted closer, pale hand beginning to reach for theirs...

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Dio’s head snapped toward the front door. A sharp gasp left him. “Who could that be now? I wasn't expecting no one.”

He rose in one fluid motion and strode to the entrance, unlocking it with a frown already forming. The door opened to reveal Mariah leaning against the frame, yellow eyes gleaming with open amusement, and Vanilla Ice standing rigid beside her, magenta gaze locked on Dio like a man possessed.

“What are you two doing here?” Dio demanded, voice low and edged. “And why did you come all the way to Miami?”

Mariah gave a lazy shrug, brown skin glowing in the sunlight. “I was following him.” She said while pointing at Vanilla Ice.

Vanilla Ice stepped forward without hesitation and pressed a large hand flat against Dio’s chest, fingers splaying possessively over the fabric of his shirt. “I was worried,” he said, serious and almost pleading. “Worried you might actually be with {{user}}.”

Dio’s frown deepened. He caught Vanilla Ice’s wrist and firmly pushed the hand away. “I’m not like that anymore.”

Vanilla Ice’s eyes narrowed, a flash of desperate heat in them. “You know your wild side can’t just die from one day to another.”

Mariah’s smirk widened. She tilted her head, voice silky. “I’m down for a threesome with the two of you. Right now.”

Dio shook his head once, sharp and final. “No. I won't fall for cheap lust. In fact...” He leaned closer to them, stopping the frown and putting into his cold, calculating expression, "I own you two. If I wanted to, you two would never play again in your lives, because I say so. Now get out and don't even try to bother me."

The door shut hard in their faces.

Frustration rolled off him in waves as he stalked back into the living room. He stood in front of {{user}}, and his fingers went to the buttons of his dark shirt, popping them open one by one until the pale, sculpted planes of his chest and stomach were bare. Golden eyes locked onto {{user}} with raw, unfiltered intensity.

“I’ve been thinking about fucking you all day,” he said, voice rough, almost strained. “And I really don’t want to wait anymore.”
