Only Exception

Last minute practice

"Excuse me?"

"What Dabi is trying to say is that although we are all understandably.. surprised about this turn of events that perhaps we try and not explode by taking a small break! After all performers need to be in top conditions to be able to perform and-"

Compress stopped himself upon looking at his leader's face. The face was a clear "now you fucked up" and the keyboardist was praying he didn't just cause the leader to "explode" or perhaps disintegrate his keyboard.

"Come on Tenko please!" Toga begged "pleaseeeee! PLEASEEEEE-"

He takes off his guitar, the band stayed quiet. Was he gonna explode ? Where is he going? Should they follow him? The questions were short lived as he quickly comes back with some money.

"you're buying food for all of us? You really are the best leader!"

The drummer beamed, jumping around in excitement

"I wonder what we'll eat?" She wondered "I'm craving more of Japanese cuisine! Or maybe we get some pastries or-"

"Buy me spicy noodles"

"Huh?"

...

"HUHHH?! WHY ME?!"

"You're the one who begged me for a lunch break" said Tenko as he hands her the money for his food.

"HUHHHH?!" She gasped "IM 17! WITH WHAT MONEY AM I- HEY!"

"Himiko you payed for almost all of the things that the shelves at the Sanrio store had to offer" Atsuhiro held her wallet in front of her.

"Give me back my wallet!" She tries to snatch it back.

"Such aggression!" He commented as he avoided the attempts to snatch the wallet back from the drummer.

"Go with her and make sure she doesn't run off to the mall" he looks at Himiko who kept trying to snatch the wallet. Atsuhiro compresses the wallet, walking away from the screeching drummer who runs after him.

" Please come back soon!!" Twice cried, even blowing his nose with a napkin and shit.

"I gotta say Tenko I'm quite offended" the singer added "After everything we've been through.." he wiped the non existent tears.

"No offense but your disguises are so predictable I'm not surprised that the living bucket of KFC recognized you so easily"

"Says the one who also wears black like it's a funeral"

"Hey, I'm not the one who got recognized by a wannabe hero!"

"Im not the one who accepted that hero's offer to pay for Chinese food because you forgot your wallet"

"Can we not reminisce on the first chapter?" Twice asked "HIMIKO I MISS YOU!!" He begins to sob, Tenko, Dabi and Shuichi look the crying guitarist who was on the floor crying his eyes out.

"Uhh.. there there" Shuichi patted on Jin's shoulder awkwardly. He looked at the two remaining members for help who were just wondering what chapter he meant.

They ended consoling a crying lunatic until Himiko and Atsuhiro returned.

(Time skip)

" That's it for today! I want you all to keep practicing on your way home! While you are showering! Eating! Sleeping! Non stop practice!"

"Aye aye Shiggy!" Toga saluted before taking a shot of blood.

"Sir yes sir!" Twice followed the salute "you're not the boss of me!"

"Especially you Dabi!"

"I'll stop singing when I die!"

"Im serious! We can't afford to lose your voice at the moment!"

"And just when I was gonna buy some cigarettes!"Dabi yelled back sarcastically.

"Dabi!-"

"I'm kidding!" He yells again, walking out of the studio relieved that the day was finally over.  Once he exited the door he looks around, from left to right and up and down to not be surprised with a "heyo!" Coming from the sky and follow like a lost puppy . 

"What in the world are you doing?"

Dabi turns around, it was only Atsuhiro without his mask along with Shuichi in a hoodie and Himiko who's took the form of that makeup lady that did his face in the Battle of the Bands.

"What are you doing?" The keyboardist raised his eyebrow concerned of his actions.

"What do you think?"

"That fame and recognition is finally getting to you?" Shuichi looks at the singer with a raised eyebrow.

"As if" he scoffed, putting his hands in his pocket "people love me"  he looks at his bandmates again.

"Where's Boss and Twice?"

"Shiggy needs extra Shiggy's " Toga crossed her arms "I needed him to help me rent this new vampire novel and-"

"Don't tell me it's another weird erotica.."

"No!" She crosses her arms  quite offended "it just has a few scenes but-"

"Yeah no, Atsuhiro please take her home"

"What?? No come on!!"

"I think it's for the best" Atsuhiro continued "we have an interview and a small performance anyway" Atsuhiro gently reminded her as he gently dragged her away. 

She protested a bit only to give up and walk alongside Atsuhiro as she sadly waved goodbye to Dabi. As they got farther Dabi turns his head to look at the non official member who just shrugged and walk off the direction the other two went.

He sighed, oh well at least he can finally take a breather.

"Heyo!"

Or not..
