Work Text:
Marc and Nathaniel walked onto the empty stage, the former looking around in awe.
“Wow Nath, you really rented this place for a couple hours?”
Nathaniel giggled, nodding from where he was strolling next to Marc, “Rich and famous parents benefits.”
Marc ran over to the center of the platform, picking up the wireless microphone that was perched on top of the speaker. His eyes practically sparkled as he stared down at it, “Cool.”
His boyfriend smiled, approaching him, “Why don’t you sing us a song, Mr. Rapper?”
Marc gave a joking scoff, “Right now?”
Nathaniel smiled as he hopped up onto the speaker, “Isn’t that why we rented a stage and karaoke equipment?”
And honestly? Fair enough.
He tossed around the microphone from hand to hand, before finally grasping it firmly in his hand and tapping it to test it.
They both flinched as the feedback echoed throughout the room.
“Why did we rent an entire stage and not just a karaoke machine?” Marc muttered.
Nathaniel fluttered his eyelashes, “But isn’t this much better? You get the experience of a real stage.”
Marc smiled, “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that! Soon, I’ll get onto a real stage using just my skills!”
The redhead blinked before laughing, “You’re so cute.” And so optimistic, to the point of naivety, but he’s not going to tell his boyfriend that. “But seriously are you gonna start a song or was this a waste of money?”
Marc held the microphone up to his boyfriend’s face, “Why don’t you choose one?”
Nathaniel hummed a small tune, lyrics quietly said under his breath. Marc swayed his head to the song with a smile on his face.
Marc held the microphone up to his own mouth, “Beep.”
Nathaniel immediately burst into laughter, kicking the air near Marc, “Stop that.”
Marc laughed along with him. “Sorry, sorry, I’ll be serious.” He cleared his throat before actually starting to sing and rap.
Nathaniel sighed happily upon listening to him. For all the teasing he gave him, Marc’s abilities were spectacular. There was no doubt he’d make it far.
They could worry about the future later. For now, Nathaniel was content to live in the moment with his boyfriend filling the stage with his melodious voice.
