im giggling over the mental idea of brian having to deal with someone who doesnt operate on a fixed schedule and is the closest thing hes found to a human random generator (and this is the guy whos usually characterized as a stalker who likes to KNOW) put in the shoes of "oh no he doesnt know"
brian likes to think of himself as observant. thinks he's got a keen eye and good ears. maybe lucky, too. always finding himself in the right place at the right time. but, truth be told, he isn't sure about all that anymore. not since meeting you, at least.
bumped into you on his way out of class, too busy talking to tim. he hadn't noticed you and grazed past, rough shoulder against yours. "oh, sorry!"
you waved a hand, then, a little smile on your face. "nah, it's alright." and something in his brain fired. a root system of electricity connected to every corner, like a working tesla coil circuit. huh.
brian gave back that little smile of his, head tilted to get a better look. "say," he smiled a little wider, fully aware tim was starting to walk away, "i've never seen you around before."
you blink for a second, registering. "right, yeah," a laugh leaves your lips. "i don't... show up often, actually." well, he'd notice if you did.
"nice to meet ya," he held out his hand, posture straightened up just a little, "names brian." -- and to think a handshake changed the trajectory of his daily schedule.
because you were right. you barely showed up at all, most days. hard to catch, could scarcely talk to you. he thought he'd like to build some rapport first; get a better idea of what he's getting himself into -- maybe get your number? but you're as enigmatic as an urban legend. can't find you. can't catch up to you, either. it's almost like you go up in a puff of air whenever he sees you rounding a corner.
thought himself going crazy, asked tim if he'd seen the person he'd bumped into that day, if brian had bumped into anyone at all. "sure ya did. i left when you started talking." tim huffed. so you do exist.
real flesh and blood, and a real phone too. found you, late one evening, alongside an excuse to ask for your number. luminous amber under the sunset, a prize after all his running around. and you gave it to him.
"see you around," you almost waved, but he's not letting another chance like this slip by, no sir, so he exclaimed a 'wait '.
and a little awkward laugh escaped him. who was he becoming? "i was thinking..."
you turned back to face him, hand fiddling with the phone you're putting back in your pocket, eyes curious and wide.
"wanna go out?" he... didn't mean it like that. "for a coffee, maybe?" but you didn't seem to notice. real smooth, big guy. suave as ever.
but he put his mental beating aside when you agreed, his smile genuine, replacing the awkward one. watching the pot in his mind simmer on a new breakthrough.
āĀ āĀ ā
"how was it?" wasn't much of a question, given it came from tim. eyes half-lidded, body sprawled out on the couch, arms crossed.
brian had made a few decisions. "pretty good," he groaned, sitting down, eyes trained to the ceiling.
he wants to know you more
he wants to...
actually... getting the first point out of the way would be a start. he's usually ambitious, wants to get a list of things done at any given opportunity, but this time? he'll slow down a bit. speed up only when it starts to count. he'll play the rhythm as it presents itself, for now.
he pulls out his phone, shooting you a text:
> 'Had fun :)'
he paused, the caret blinking against his eyes, waiting.
grabbing lunch or even dinner seems too forward, but another go at a coffee shop is just repetitive.
he turned, looking over at tim dozing off.
...
> 'Had fun :) Would you want to grab breakfast tomorrow before class?'
he didn't exactly know your schedule, but asking couldn't hurt. surely you'd be free enough in the morning?
he sat there, pointers tapping against the sides of his phone, staring at the open chat. ehh... you'll reply eventually. he should just wait.
with a sigh, he leaves his phone behind on the couch, getting up to shding!
> 'Sorry, no can do! How about lunch instead? '
he thinks about it for a bit.
you always seemed busy around midday, but... maybe tomorrow you weren't?
... ah, to hell with it.
> 'No problem!'
āĀ āĀ ā
12:09, brian is waiting at the spot you agreed upon. he imagined you'd arrive somewhat soon, any later and lunch wouldn't be that anymore. more like... lunner... dinch? whatever lunch plus dinner equals, it'd be that.
> 'I'm here :)'
> 'Where? I don't see you '
he looks up, head on a swivel, trying to find you. door, then front-of-house, but he can't seem to. where are you?
the chair under him scrapes as he gets up, another text to specify the seat he's in.
but the reply you send back has him pausing.
> 'Thought we were supposed to meet at 2? '
what?
> 'Isn't that too late?'
> 'When do you usually have lunch?'
he couldn't stop himself with that last text, befuddled completely by how late you thought the meeting would be.
> 'Depends. Usually 3 ish though '
he sits back down, bottom lip caught between his teeth. what?
brian couldn't really decide whether or not he should ask you to just come now, or if he should wait around until the time you're used to. he let out a little puff of air, leg bouncing anxiously.
still, three pm seems far too late, even for him. just move it to dinner? maybe... reschedule the whole thing to some other day. damn, he should'a specified the time. who does that? forgets to mention the when. still, who eats lunch at three? when do you have dinner, then? or breakfast?
but his worries are cast aside when you say you'll be there in a bit.
āĀ āĀ ā
see, brian thinks most of the world runs on a pretty similar schedule. meals are set at certain times everyone is used to, work and school are pretty standard. even if someone were in college, their schedule would be pretty predictable. he's never faced an issue with someone before, especially when going out to eat. but you? honestly, he's got no clue how you run.
his printer fucked up. wouldn't work, for whatever reason. ink was fine and full, printer was plugged in where it should be, all the buttons are completely functional. but nada -- no print.
he grumbled and groaned, but eventually decided he'd head over early next morning to the campus library, housing the closest printer in the vicinity.
got up, got in his car, arrived at campus, then walked into the library. at this hour, you wouldn't really find anyone. well, maybe except for...
"oh, hey brian!" you smiled up at him from your seat. leaned against the table, a giant book open, cover propped up against your arm.
he blinked. once... twice... before finally smiling back, lop-sided and a bit bleary. "good morning."
he fiddled with the printer for a bit, "what's got you up here so early?" can't a man quench his curiosity?
you hummed, "hah, couldn't sleep anymore. thought i'd hang here for a bit."
right on, right on. what do you mean by 'anymore'?
letting the papers file through the machine, brian takes a seat adjacent to yours. he crosses his arms and lays his head down to face you.
"your timing's all weird." there, he confessed it. tried to be polite, but he really couldn't word it any better.
you let out a chuckle, closing the behemoth and focusing your attention on him. "how so?"
he closes his eyes to ponder, then opens them again, looking directly into your eyes.
"you're never around when i expect you to be," he thinks back to your similarly majoring peers. how they're around, but you aren't. "classes, for example."
you nod in acknowledgement, crossing your arms, then mirroring his position on top of the book you were reading.
"and that time," wasn't too long ago. give it a few days, "when you said your lunchtime was at three..." he trails off, still baffled.
you let out a sharp exhale through your nose, "who has lunch at three?" brian exclaims. that got a laugh out of you.
"and what do you mean when you said 'depends'?" he recalls the text you sent, having never gotten a chance to ask about it.
your eyes have a pretty glint in them, a little humour. "can't catch you when i expect to."
"expect to?"
he lifts his head, leaning it against the crane of his arm. "like now,"
his eyes study you for a moment, "wouldn't have guessed in a million years that you're awake, and here, in the library." then a tired smile graces his face.
"i'll write it down for you then. my schedule." sweet release.

thinking abt the blue lock egoist four in a boy group. now thinking abt the blue lock top 6 in a boy group.
ok unfortunately iām not educated enough in boy groups to make a solid take, but i was into bts heavy when i was 13 + read hella fanfiction + was in the amino & had their two games downloaded so i think i know Something. so this is what my brain is thinking??? bc ik this headcanon idea isnāt new
for the egoist four..
in terms of visuals, i think we could all agree chigiri would be it. like look at him. heās so pretty they would make sure to get extra clips of him in a music video and add him in every thumbnail to draw in viewers, and heād be a pretty good dancer with a high tenor voice (which in turn makes him the main vocalist) bc despite it being high, itās also strong and full!
bachira is SO main dancer-coded, like making him Not a dancer would be downright evil. ik this man can DANCE. in terms of secondary talent, he can vocalize well and tends to have many adlibs throughout their songs. his voice is a tad bit deeper (pure baritenor) yet way lighter in texture than chigiriās. as a result of his vocal texture, heās also chosen as a lead rapper with kunigami
isagi is definitely the lead vocalist & leader of the group & FACE OF THE GROUP & CENTER, no question abt that. his whole āiām aā¦ striker!ā would turn into āiām aā¦ vocalist!ā in this au, and the whole main character thing he has going on proves it too,,,, heās definitely a lead singer with hella lyrics given to him at any time. his voice is definitely a higher baritone instead of full tenor like chigiri, but unlike bachira (who is a baritenor) he struggles a bit with tenor notes
kunigami unfortunately would get the smaller end of the stick(?) in the sense that heās the one performer that ppl r like ākunigami gets no lyrics whyšā ālet him singā¼ļøā with. iām thinking that he might be a main rapper that can vocalize, and he has like this nice deep low baritone voice that gives the group harmony. his fans definitely view him as the unproblematic fav (pre wc), then afterwards theyāre confused as to why heās getting into more fights online (post wc)
this groupās theming would be more dream boy, first love, lover-boy, boy next door-esque. likeā¦ shoujo-esque, extremely catered to their female fanbase. dessert themes, high school lovers themes, maybe something cute for halloween, etc
theyāre always participating on game shows at any time (theyāll be there!) and the fanservice is crazy, especially on bachiraās end. bachira specifically knows his fanbase and gives them what they want! chigiri is also pretty good with it and makes fanservice look effortless
but poor isagi is very shy with it. he tries, but most of the time he ends up looking too awkward or he just straight up cringes himself out (eventually he gets better at it!). kunigami just straight up doesnāt do it bc he doesnāt feel the need to, so when he does its completely unintentional
there is so many shipping fics out of bachisagi/kunigiri in this au and they all know about it bc theyre chronically online. bachira feeds into it by giving extra fanservice and keeping him and isagiās relationship āunlabeledā, and they have like a very close touchy ābromanceā. kunigami is the one mainly leading the kungiri ship because heās always caught staring at chigiri in game shows or interviews, and their dynamic is really cute. (there are HELLA screenshots online of their fanbase catching him slipping)
theyāre pretty much the top boy group, rivaled byā¦
the top six
yukimiya is the lead visual bc yukimiya is canonically fine as fuck so theyād be using his modelesque looks to the max. yukimiya is also a lead dancer and theres a lot of clips of him online just dancing. heās a sub vocalist too! but unfortunately is also one of the more underrated members. his footwork especially is crazy good and the fanbase he has is probably the healthiest out of everyone else in the group
rin is the lead vocalist, center, leader, and face of the group (& also ironically the maknae). he has a very recognizable face and heās very well known. he has had vocal lessons since he was a toddler and as a result has a very wide and flexible vocal range with hella vibrato, ppl think heās putting them UNDER A SPELL whenever he sings. he isnāt much of a dancer in general but when he performs his movements are like sharp and awesome so he never gets ābad dancerā allegations
nagi is generally an all-rounder in terms of singing, dancing, and rapping. yet unfortunately he is the member that gets the least amount of lyrics assigned to him (he hasnāt bothered to ask for more yet). he has natural performing talent yet has never done anything performing arts-based until pretty recently. like, this guy sings like an angel and has never had voice lessons until 2 months ago??? he also has insane body control that helps with dancing and pulling off flashy moves, similar to yukimiya. him and yukimiya are like the best dancers in this group
shidouās talent in all areas is great but his strongest attribute is his VOCALS. like this man can SINGGGGGGG. he gets showy-offy about it and constantly is doing a vocal run in the background of their songs or is primarily doing the adlibs just because of how much control he has over his vocal cords. as a result, heās a main vocalist and its deserved. his falsetto is insane and his voice is heavier than rinās. his fanbase is very passionate about him and if he ever canāt perform in a show for whatever reason, their days WILL be ruined. he also does the most fanservice out of everyone.
otoya would be a main rapper. his flow is immaculate and honestly it looks like its his destiny. his lyrics are very creative and poetic with hella hypotheticals (helps attract the ladies) that sometimes donāt make sense, but since heās otoya, heāll sound like heās making sense. his voice is light and airy and controlled enough to be smooth and his diction is off the charts. also gets into a lot of scandals because heās always messing around with girl group members and seems to have a dating rumor with a new one every week. despite that, his fanbase is relatively loyal
karasu would be the lead rapper who bounces off of otoya. his voice is a bit deeper than otoyaās and he gets really into it. like his rapping gets very intense rather than airy so as a result it gets this dark growling effect that mixes with their songs pretty well. he is also a sub-vocalist because he is actually good at singing and would do an adlib or two when told to. then their fanbase would be surprised to hear that karasu actually has a nice singing voice bc a lot of ppl donāt know heās a sub vocalist since heās already so good at rapping!!
if u couldnāt guess this groupās vibes already, they are a rebellious bad boy group. they have āhardcoreā songs that involve a lot more rapping and topics like getting in trouble, problematic devotion, partying, and diss tracks (karasu, otoya, and nagi have their signature rap diss track series they make themselves about something random in each of their albums that is consistently titled ____ pt 1, ____ pt 2, etc) in direct contrast to the lover-boy theming of the egoist four
they also gained most of their fans from when they did a vampire-themed album with themed costumes and all, and the vibes were impeccable.
in terms of game shows, they do it every now and again. their main focus is on their concerts that they have pretty frequently. their concerts are notorious for special effects and being flashy, so its never a boring time!
honestly iād like to think that their fanbases would have beef or have the same listeners, like two sides of a coin. āegoist four at day, top 6 at nightā type stuff
