there you sat, sketching in your notebook while a bunch of college aged guys play their instruments in a dingy garage. the wooden stools you and oikawa are posted on are widely uncomfortable and no doubt taken from a shutdown bar.
you try not to engage too much with the house keepers. the leader of their band, whose name you couldn’t quite remember, politely welcomed you into their home before immediately retreating to his mic stand. bokuto, your favorite out of the bunch, offered a lively introduction and even offered you both drinks or snacks. and the red-haired bassist almost instantly recognized oikawa from twitter, which is odd considering he only posted his face a handful of times.
oikawa lets out an agitated groan, causing you to turn your head his direction. “tobio is coming to visit next weekend.” he says without you asking.
“kageyama? the guy shoyo likes?” you reply, looking back down at your sketchbook and over at the instruments set up before you.
“do you know any other tobios?” he shoots back. oikawa sits on his stool, perfectly postured and legs crossed as he scrolls on his phone with one hand. you roll your eyes at the supposed pro athlete you brought along to protect you. “theyre going to The Scene.”
“that place makes me hate myself. i always feel like im being left out of something somehow.”
“you ever think that’s because you are being left out.” you can practically hear the smirk in his voice as i turn around to see the arrogant guitarist behind you. “you probably asked them to turn down the amp so you could focus drawing on your napkin.”
you scoff. “i bet you know all about being left out. must’ve been a hard childhood having to yell and beg for the attention of others all the time.”
“says the one with graphite dust on her chin.”
you roll your eyes, looking over at oikawa who awkwardly reaches over and whips the grey substance off your face.
“we have a gig that weekend. tell your friends to come by.” kuroo says oh so nonchalantly.
“and watch as their ear drums bust from your playing? i would never let my friends endure your presence longer than i have today.”
“oh please, you just heard us play and your ear drums are fine.” he narrows his eyes and leans down, looking over your shoulder at the sketches in your hand. multiple different thumbnails spread across the page, proof of you trying to find the right one that encapsulates the electric feeling you got from their performance.
he reaches over and points at one of them. “this one’s really nice. looks less like one of those AI function posters.” he says, giving himself a light chuckle.
“don’t ever insult my work like that again” you say, turning your head to face him. he’s much closer than you realized, much…sweatier too. suppose shredding guitar is a more grueling task than you thought.
he smirks before standing straight again. “we’re about finished so you guys are free to leave whenever you’d like. i’d do it sooner than later. i’m pretty sure i saw semi’s ear grow 3 sizes when you mentioned The Scene.”
oikawa is quick to grab his things, ushering you to do that same. bokuto offers you a snack to go, one that is most definitely not his to give out but you take, nonetheless. before you guys could walk out of the driveway, tendou rushes to ask oikawa for a follow back.
a little bit of a short one. ive been taking time to focus on exactly how i want this story to progress. logically that means futures chapters should come out faster right? ...right?
idk if i ever specified that station twelve minus kuroo live in a house and not an apartment but if i ever said otherwise i was lying
tendou so chronically online he would recognize oikawa off twitter dot com.
semis fomo for the scene is too much for him to bear.
surprisingly the practice was not as awkward and as dreadful as yn imagined
