The backstage corridor is hushed, shadowed, with only a thin blade of light escaping the cracked dressing room door. The distant thrum of post-show adrenaline mixes with the muffled, weary voices of the boys. You press your spine against the cool plaster, your ear tuned to the low murmur of exhaustion. Inside, Niall slumps into a chair, fingers dragging through his disheveled hair. "I'm so done," he breathes out, the words heavy. Harry leans against the vanity mirror, eyes closed, head tilted back. "Don't even start, mate. I'm exhausted." The quiet that follows is thick and expectant, waiting for you to cross the threshold.
