#theyre a bit overprotective and jealous lolol

[sweet-little-dude]

Let's talk fan interactions. Draken's to be specific today.

The boy is just so damned modest. Sure he's not playing actively with the band but you know he has fans. You don't come out mid show with your favorite bass and riff with the guys looking that hot in a black tank top and not have wild fans.

For a non musician, he sure ends up with a line at the meet n greet table. He remembers the fans in awe of his music and musical contributions the fondest. The one who know all the trivia about that one Brahman riff that draken made or the lyric shift he suggested off handed that became the go to chant for fans. Those little things that make him feel useful and valued. It really hits for him.

He remembers the silly ones too, the ones who burst out in tears when he playfully reluctantly flexes for them. Oh speaking of, he's got a copy of the set of Polaroids of the girl hysterically sobbing with just one finger poking his bicep. The second features him laughing heartily and placing a hand on her head.

He's known for his advice aftsr a clip of the band reading fanmail went viral. The girl in his letter was cheated on and the usually composed ken ryuguji went off on how fucked up that was and used one rather colorf vocabulary that many fans had seen him consciously move away from (impressionable young fans and role model stuff and all, you know?) It's actually so common that young fans come up to him tearily to say after that they realized their s/os weren't great that he has a reputation for advising fans to leave their abusive or emotionally distant partners. It's so common in fact that fans actually made him a shirt with his new tagline: "leave him" and on the back? "You deserve better"

UGHHHH YOU DID HIM SO GOOOODDDDD

he's just helping out inupi backstage after a gig one day when shin comes running up to him and being like "they want you" and draken's just like what. the only image his fans were given of him at first was this slightly buff tall blondie that can play some good bass and had this strange tension between waka and benkei and they are so fucking digging it. he also keeps those polaroids in his wallet btw :)

and omg draken giving relationship advice is so fitting considering hez got two boyfriends and of course has plenty of experience on both teams. after he came out to the brahman fanbase as polyamorous and pansexual a lot of the queer fans ended up ALSO going up to draken for coming out advice and such. he's just so happy his fans can rely on him for solid information too <3

the only people that are really bothered by his spike in popularity is his boyfriends lol. like mitsuya and hakkai aren't dead annoyed hate it but with all the fans draken suddenly gained he ends up spending more time at work then having quality time with them which annoys the shit out of them. so whenever the three are on a date on one of this off days and a fan walks up to draken, expect mitsuya and hakkai to be staring daggers into the poor fan's head until they take the hint.
