[He spots Aphelion eventually in the audience while singing at some point. He did come after all... which makes him feel pretty damn glad. Chugging a beer that's been passed up to him, he crushes that with his foot once empty, before moving onto a short interlude- where he's supposed to give some 'prizes' away.

He invites two girls up who dance and get some merch for their efforts. Others, he tosses some t-shirts into the audience for- it's all just merchandise that advertises the venue-

He tosses a couple of cans of beer out to those near the front to catch before placing one atop Aphelion's head. He can have one too.]

[In addition to dropping his stuff at home before the show, Aphelion took the opportunity to change into something a little more appropriate for the occasion. Gone are the preppy clean-cut law student clothes that Forte's used to seeing him in. Now he's wear black jeans and a dark v-neck t-shirt under a worn leather jacket. His hair is more disheveled than usual from the crowd, but still falls perfectly over his face.

He looks hot, is what I'm saying.

And Forte placing a can of beer on his head surprises a laugh out of him, before he looks Forte dead in the eye, takes it off his head, cracks it open, and takes a long pull from it, without breaking eye contact.]

[He wasn't expecting that. He watches with some surprise as Aphelion meets his gaze like a challenge and downs the beer.

. . . Fuck. He's really cool like this actually?? Not that there's anything wrong with his normal look and attitude. But it's a side of him that he hasn't really seen before.]

[Fuck yeah. Pumped up and ready for round two, he plucks another beer for himself, and takes a long drink before a guitar materializes in his hands once more.]

ALRIGHT-! Enough with all the chitchat, losers! Let's get back to the music! ♪

[His fingers drag across the guitar and he blasts into the next song. He'll pull Aphelion into his antics a couple more times though before the end of the night.]

[Aphelion plays along good-naturedly. No doubt Forte's fans will be speculating about who he is and why Forte is dragging him into the spotlight so much tomorrow--Aphelion's not vain, but he knows his looks draw people's attention. but if ridiculous speculation brings Forte a little extra publicity, Aphelion won't complain.]

[Forte doesn't seem to notice if people are questioning it. He simply enjoys himself to the end.

When it is time to finish, he's pretty exhausted but in good spirits. Playing a show can take a lot out of someone. Playing every instrument in the show is a different sort of draining, but hey- it's his specialty and what makes him hirable. He's glad to see that Aphelion stayed to the end, though. He knows he's got a lot of work, so he hadn't known if he would.

Feeling sweaty he wipes his face once he draws to a close and is finally finished for the night. Packing up isn't hard, since the instruments simply vanish. Still, he smiles when he sees Aphelion and gives a whistle.]

Didn't know someone could clean up so nice.

[In this case he supposed its dressing down-- but not really. He looks pretty damn good when he's not going for the good boy look. He stretches, wings spreading behind him before settling down again against his back.]

I gotta admit, it looks good on you. But what would your teachers say? Or your parents?

[He's just fucking with him.]

Haha, what I do outside of class isn't my teachers' concerns. And as for my parents... Well. They tolerate my eccentricities.

Eccentricities, huh?

I've been known to indulge in one from time to time.

Heh- that just makes tonight a special occasion, then. I'll take it as a compliment to be your eccentricity for the evening.
