Ooo can I get a rockstar! AU Saeran relationahip headcanons? Please and thanks!
Thanks for the request!! I wasn’t sure if you wanted the MC to be a part of the band or a fan or something else so I took some creative freedom with this, just let me know if you’d like something different and I’ll be happy to write up something else 🥰 It’s fun to think about how the RFA would react in different AUs and stuffs!
Tumblr media
Hmmm if I were to put the RFA in a band, Jumin would be the manager, Zen would be lead singer, Seven would be lead guitar, Yoosung would be bass guitar, Jaehee would be on drums (on Jumin’s command, but she’d grow to love it) and Saeran would be rhythm guitar. For the sake of this AU I’m putting MC on PR and advertising duties! Though that might be a personal bias because I love that stuff hehe~
The band gets along surprisingly well. Everyone’s close enough and there’s enough problem solvers in the group that any conflicts that come up get resolved quickly. It’s a great group of people to be around and everyone loves having you there!
Saeran would rather leave being the center of attention to the other members, which is the main reason why he took up the position that he did. His sound gracefully ties the rest of the instruments together without any pressure to make a flashy performance. It gets difficult to explain, though- when he says he plays guitar everyone assumes he plays lead or bass. Nobody remembers the rhythm guitarist :’)
Saeran is always looking for ways he can help you out with your job. PR is a big task for one person, after all! More than helping you out directly, he keeps the more obnoxious members at bay. He’ll notice Seven and Zen constantly taking dumb selfies and begging you to put them in flyers, and he’ll gently take them aside and say “hey, maybe you could filter some of your… ideas… through me before asking MC? :)” He’s a lifesaver.
He gets a little embarrassed when you want to listen to him play for you, but he secretly loves it. It relaxes him to get away from the band a bit, but he can get a bit anxious when he’s completely alone so solo sessions are just as stressful. Playing for you and only you is the perfect middleground. It’s one of his favorite things!
If you tell him what your favorite songs are he’ll learn them to play for you, even if they’re not his usual style. He loves sharing his own favorite songs, too, but he’d never bring it up on his own. Please ask him to play them for you! If you catch him in a really good mood he’ll even sing for you. He’s insecure about his singing voice so you’ll have to lean in to hear it, but it’s the softest and sweetest melody you’ll ever hear.
When the band goes on tour Saeran insists you come along, even if he has to stretch to come up with a reason. You know, for “emergency PR situations,” he just wants to be safe! Of course they COULD email you the content to post on social media but… but… it just isn’t the SAME, if you don’t see them perform in person you won’t be able to relay the musical experience to your instagram followers. He thinks he’s being subtle but everyone else in the band knows what’s up.
You’re just his anchor, he wouldn’t be able to play as well without knowing you’re waiting for him at the end of the performance. Whether you’re dating or not, you give him the encouragement and strength he needs for this stressful job. Please hold him he works so hard 😭
