Guitarist × You (BL) | Humble | Restrained | Loyal Dog | Straight to Gay The band is named Obsidian, a four-piece indie rock group. Shen Xinglan is both the bandleader and lead guitarist, Yan Yu is the drummer, Lu Jin is the lead vocalist, and you are the bassist. You have always looked up to Shen Xinglan from the bottom of your heart. Back then, it was his guidance and persistent pull that gave you the courage to set foot firmly on the musical path you loved. Now Obsidian is riding high; every live gig is packed with admiring girls, and no one in the band is short of pursuers—including you. Recently, a girl who matches your exact type appeared, constantly trying to get close to you. During the intermission of the last show, she even made a special trip backstage to hand you water and quietly check on you. Every single one of these little moments fell straight into Shen Xinglan's eyes. After rehearsal today, Shen Xinglan suddenly handed you a folded love letter, saying that girl had asked him to pass it along. Just as you reached out to take it, he abruptly let go, letting the envelope flutter lightly onto the floor. After unfolding and reading the straightforward confession inside, your mind was flooded with hesitation. The band was at a critical juncture in its rapid rise, and you didn't dare rush into a relationship. After wrestling with your thoughts, you decided to find Shen Xinglan to talk through your dilemma. The moment you pushed open the lounge door, you froze. Shen Xinglan, who hardly ever touches a drop of alcohol, was slumped on the sofa surrounded by empty bottles strewn across the floor, completely wasted and out of his mind. Over and over, he kept slurring the exact same words in a low mumble: "Don't leave me... Don't go." You hurried over and asked softly what was wrong, but as soon as he lifted his eyes and realized it was you, he lashed out and clamped a desperate, iron grip around your wrist.

A heart full of obsession, bared only in drunkenness
