Country singer Steve Harrington, who has always leaned more into the pop country side of things (think Wanted by Hunter Hayes), but wants his third album to be more true to old school country roots.
His label agrees but only if he works with Eddie Munson, a rock star who had to leave the spotlight when he got kicked out of his band for, well, rockstar behavior gone too far.
Steve isn't amused, especially because he doesn't care for metal music or rock star shenanigans. He was "raised better" and doesn't think Eddie could sit down and write songs with actual emotion and feeling.
Cue long songwriting sessions where Eddie is trying his hardest to be on his best behavior because he knows this is his last shot at being taken seriously, and Steve being surprised every time Eddie proves that he's talented as a songwriter and musician, well outside the scope of just metal and rock.
They write a song that they're both so proud of, Steve asks if he'll record it with him just for fun. The released version would just be Steve.
Eddie agrees.
It's an incredible duet, something country music has needed forever, but Eddie doesn't want that version out there.
The label genuinely accidentally releases their version instead of the Steve only version. As soon as they realize, they remove it from official places, but it's too late.
Fans have already heard it and have gone crazy over it, begging them to let the radio play this version, begging for this version to be available for streaming. The Steve version is great, but it doesn't have the emotion that's laced in the tone of them singing together.
Eddie finally gives in when he sees how happy Steve is about the reaction to it.
But the label decides they want them to tour together, have Eddie work as his opening act, perform his acoustic songs that haven't been officially released anywhere. Eddie can't do it.
He can't go back into that lifestyle. He couldn't do it to his band, who made him promise that he'd come back to them when he got his shit straight. He can't do it to his fans, who stuck by him through some rough shit, but probably wouldn't support a fucking country music career. He definitely can't do it to Steve, who deserves to have someone with him who can be trusted not to go off the deep end.
So he runs. He hides. His uncle welcomes him home, congratulates him on finally embracing his country roots.
It doesn't take long for Steve to find him.
Because he'd been more honest with Steve than he'd ever been with anyone. He told him about his childhood, his Uncle Wayne, his struggle to make it. He told him about his worse struggle when he did make it, how he got in with the wrong people, the wrong things. Prioritized the lifestyle more than his own life.
Of course Steve knew where he'd run to.
Of course Steve came to remind him what his life could be if he allowed himself to find new priorities.
Steve's lips were pretty persuasive, but not nearly as persuasive as his promises to remind him what he could have if he kept his life his priority.
"But what if I let you down?"
"You won't."
"But-"
"No. You won't. You're gonna do amazing things for yourself. And I'm gonna be there to see it happen. That's all."
And he was.
They co-wrote Steve's entire album while Eddie worked on recording his own original songs. He liked that it was an old school rock and roll feel, some blues, some country, some hints of metal sneaking in on a couple songs.
He called his band to come help him with a song, hesitant to even ask, but they came. Of course they came.
He called his Uncle Wayne to play banjo on a song, worried that he wouldn't like the heavier electric guitar notes over it. Of course he loved being involved.
When their tour started, he let himself actually feel nervous.
But instead of running, he looked at the man who supported him through it, even when his own career was on the line.
Of course Steve was there.

NSFW Headcanons for Kotallo
Anon asked: may i request nsfw (if you are comfy with it ) hc’s for Kotallo?
Here you are, under the cut of course! NO minors allowed!
I definitely see him as the more dominant partner in bed, sure he’ll let his partner take the lead if they say they want to, but he will happily take the lead in bed.
Like he has to trust you before he lets you take control/top him, but you better be able to please him, because he’s not afraid to take the reins back and lead you both to your finish.
I can't really go much further without explaining Tenakth culture (or at least, how I perceive it). Much like ancient Sparta, I don't think the Tenakth have many restrictions when it comes to sex. In fact, I believe it's accepted and encouraged among squads and clans to build comradery and relieve stress.
With that being said, I don't think Kotallo has many hangups, and he's hella experienced and knows what he wants. He also knows how to please whoever he's with, no matter what they've got going on.
He's also a pleaser. His main focus is on you, but don't worry, he'll get there along the way.
A warrior's lifestyle means he has to be ready at a moment's notice. Which means he can get you there in a matter of minutes if need be.
However, if you asked what he wanted, if he were to get his way, he would take it nice and slow.
And by slow I mean slooooow, like clear your schedule because it's going to be an all day affair. There's foreplay to the foreplay, and aftercare for the aftercare. He will go for multiple rounds until neither of you can walk. You’re probably going to need the next day off too just to recover.
I certainly see him having an oral fixation. He loves to keep his mouth busy during sex. He’s not much of a talker, so this is how he puts his mouth to use.
I don’t think he’s very vocal, mostly grunting and sweet talking if anything, but he won’t shush you unless he’s worried you’ll attract unwanted attention. And if you’re silent yourself, he may encourage some more noise out of you, but won’t push you past your comfort level.
Personally I don’t see him having many kinks or fetishes, but I think he’d be open to at least trying pretty much anything.
