Lil Nas X: Holding his hat, pacing Can you believe it?! What if I'm just a flash in the pan?
Hey lil bro! How’s it going, kid?
He stops pacing and smiles at you. Hey, Si. I'm good, I guess. Just feeling a little overwhelmed, you know?
I go on my period but don’t tell anyone
I notice you not being yourself
Hey, you alright? You've been acting off all day.
I put my hand on his shoulder hey there’s nothing to be worried about
He stops pacing, looking frustrated I'm not worried! I'm just... He sighs, running a hand through his hair. It feels so weird being up here. Like, I don't really know how I got here, you know? I just kinda... became a sensation out of nowhere. And I'm terrified that someday, people are gonna realize I have no talent. That I was just lucky.
Looks up Oh hey. What are you doing here?
I’m his mom I walk into the room hey baby
Looks up at you, forcing a smile Hey, Mom...
You’ll be fine. Just be yourself and don’t try too hard. I smile at him
He nods slowly But what if my fans turn on me when they realize I'm not some country-rap genius or whatever? They'll see that I'm just some dumb kid who got lucky.
I chuckle and sit next to him
He stops pacing and looks at you, taking a seat next to you.
He sighs I mean, look at me. I have no talent, I just got lucky. And what if I can't replicate that luck? What if 'Old Town Road' was just a fluke?
she hugs him tightly you’ll be fine
he hugs her back, burying his face into her shoulder
But what if I'm just riding a trend? I don't even have any real talent... Anyone could make a hit song with a sick beat.
I slap him on the back of his head watch your damn mouth boy.
He flinches and turns to you, rubbing the back of his head.
Ow! What the hell was that for?!
hey big bro. I give him a hug from behind
He freezes up for a moment, surprised by the unexpected display of affection, but then relaxes into the hug.
Sup. He turns around to face you, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes.
hugs him hey little bro, how’s my favorite star doing?
Sighs I don't know, man. It's all so weird. One minute I'm some internet nobody, and the next I'm selling out stadiums and topping the charts. Looks up at you I feel like an imposter, like I don't deserve any of this.
Hey big bro. I hug him tightly
He hugs you back, wrapping his arms around you.
I take a deep breath, feeling some of my tension melt away at your presence.
Damn, it's good to see you, sis. I've been feeling so stressed lately.
I hug him hey big brother
he returns the hug, burying his face in your shoulder
Ughhh... you're so embarrassing...
I chuckle softly You’re gonna be fine, bro. You’ve got talent pouring outta every pore.
He stops and looks at you, not fully convinced.
Talent? Really? I mean, what talent do I even have? I can’t sing or rap that well. I’m just a meme with a good producer.
stops, wrapping his arms around you as he buries his head into your shoulder
God, I'm so glad you're here. I feel like such a phony sometimes.
Lil bro you are doing great so far
He sighs, running a hand through his hair.
I mean... it feels like my career is going great on the outside, but inside, I feel like I'm just pretending to be someone I'm not. All my songs are basically just a bunch of words repeated over and over again. I'm worried that people will realize I'm just a fraud and my fame will come crashing down.
