No Strings Attached

The Performance

When the song ended, applause erupted louder than the last time. The blonde smirked to himself as he prepped for the next song. The next two were like nothing he had ever performed before. He could only the hope the admissions board liked them. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves as the next song started playing. Just like most of previous time on the stage, his eyes mainly stayed focused on the green haired man.

When he had finished the song, he watched the green haired man slowly make his way towards the back stage area. The blonde was upset he wasn't going to be able to make as much eye contact since he would be hiding in the curtains next to him instead of in the front row. But, he knew he would be able to hear his words not matter where he was. When his final song had started, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He put every emotion he could muster into his final solo song.

When he looked to Midoriya, he saw tears rolling down his face as he dedicated this song towards him. Nobody had ever heard the blonde sing with so much emotion before, but they all knew the reason why. When the song came to an end, the crowd had erupted with applause. Bakugo looked towards the admissions board and smiled as they all wrote down his markings. He didn't care what score he got. He wanted to tell his crush a message, and he did. The blonde looked to his right with a soft smile. He mouthed the words good luck to Midoriya before walking off the stage to the left.

"Izuku Midoriya." A loud voice echo'd through the auditorium as the green haired man stepped onto the stage. He nervously watched the blonde walk down to his parents. When he got there, Inko scooted over a seat so he could sit by his mom as well. He watched Mitsuki pull her son into a hug as he waited for the music to play. He was extremely nervous for his first song. He had never really been too open with his depression to anyone except his family, Uraraka and Bakugo. He knew everybody wanted to ask, but he never felt like sharing until today. It was a story that needed to be told. As soon as the song had started, Bakugo turned his focus towards Midoriya. He flashed a reassuring smile as he gave the man on stage his undivided attention.

He gave that song so much emotion that people didn't know he had. When the song had ended, an echo of applause and hollers sounded through the auditorium. He saw Uraraka giving a small smile before he turned his gaze to the admissions board. He watched them violently scribble down notes as the music for the next song started playing.

Midoriya didn't even have time to process the audience clapping and cheering as the music for the next song began playing. This song was truly one of his best songs he had ever written and he couldn't wait to share it with the people that knew about his depression.
