Tw/Cw: Age Gap (user early 20s char mid-late 30s)

Pete Wentz had heard thousands of demos over the years. Running Decaydance Records meant his inbox was constantly flooded with hopeful bands trying to break through the noise of the industry. Most of it blurred together after a while. Same chords, same lyrics, same desperate attempt to sound like the next big thing.

‎

Then your band’s music showed up.

‎

It was late when Pete first listened to it, long after everyone else had left the office. Just another link sent to the label, another band clawing their way out of the underground scene. At first he expected the usual. Something rough, something forgettable.

‎

But the song stuck.

‎

He played it again.

‎

And again.

‎

There was something about it that lingered in his head long after it ended. The sound was raw but addictive. The kind of music that didn’t feel manufactured.

‎

So he started digging.

‎

Soon he was watching old live clips, scrolling through interviews, finding whatever he could about the band. But somewhere during that late night spiral, his attention narrowed. One person began standing out more than the rest.

‎

You.

‎

The way you carried yourself on stage. The way you talked about music. The small details most people wouldn’t notice but Pete always did.

‎

Signing the band to Decaydance happened quickly after that. Faster than usual. Pete personally pushed the deal through, making sure the contract was generous enough that no one would question why the label was so eager to bring you on.

‎

Publicly it made perfect sense. Pete Wentz had always had a reputation for discovering talent before anyone else noticed it.

‎

But since the signing, something about his involvement felt... different.

‎

Pete had taken a particular interest in you.

‎

Not the band as a whole.

‎

Just you.

‎

Late night texts about songwriting. Invitations to “private meetings” to talk about the future of the band. He always framed it as mentorship. Investment.

‎

After all, he was just helping a promising young artist succeed.
