Also!! I have a head cannon that Yachi is a huge fan of Elton John.
~♒~
My eyes looked towards Yachi as she hopped around in excitement.
"I cant believe it, Tadashi!! My mom actually got me tickets to go see Elton John!!" She exclaimed, "Do you want to come with?!"
I stopped. As much as I did, I didn't want to intrude on her time with her parents.
"Are you sure?" I questioned.
Yachi nodded very vigorously.
"Yeah! Mom bought three tickets, forgetting that Dad had work, so we have an extra one! And she said I could bring whoever I wanted!!"
I smiled at her excitement. As she spoke, I felt myself playing with the string wrapped around my finger. I think she noticed, because after a couple of seconds she spoke up again.
"Who knows. Maybe you'll find your soulmate~"
My face lit up as I looked away. She giggled. Even though she couldn't see my string, she always knew when I was messing with it because I would wrap an invisible (to her) string around my fingers. And she'd known me long enough to know that.
"It's just a thought" she said before going back to rambling.
I thought for a moment. It would be nice to finally meet who I was destined to be with. A lot of my friends had already found their soulmates. Tsukishima had found his in the game against Nekoma, when he saw their captain. When Hinata had run to far and met Kenma, that's when he found his and as soon as Yachi joined the the team as manager she met hers. Her soulmate being a certain blue haired, milk loving boy.
I sighed softly. I was the last person out of my friend group to find his soulmate.
"Alright. I'll go" I mumbled.
The stars in Yachi's eyes grew as she wrapped her arms around me. She exclaimed happily before a thought crossed my mind.
"Wait. Couldn't you take Kageyama? He is your soulmate after all"
Yachi grinned.
"He's going to be out of town that weekend. He's going to visit his grandparents"
I nodded with a grin crossing my face.
~Time Skip~
It felt like forever until the weekend of the concert. I tapped my foot happily, waiting for class to end so that I could get to practice. As soon as the bell rang, I hopped up from my seat, grabbed my belongings and sprinted out the door. I heard Tsukishima call my name, but I didn't care. I made my way to the gym, slammed the door open and got changed into my workout clothes. As soon as I stepped out of the changing rooms and back into the gym, I heard a certain blonde call out to me.
"ITS ELTON JOHN TIME!!"
"YEAHHHHH!!!!"
We definitely couldn't contain our excitement as we jumped around.
As soon as practice started, I couldn't help but wish for it to end and be Saturday already.
As soon as practice ended, I walked towards Yachi with a grin.
"So!" She started, "You've got your things right? Enough clothes for two nights?"
I was staying at her house Friday and maybe Saturday if the concert went on that long.
I nodded in excitement.
"Great let's go!"
Yachi grabbed my arm as we both rushed out with a loud goodbye to the team. When we made it to her house we greeted her mother and rushed upstairs to her room.
“Okay! Show me what you’re bringing.” She said, eyes lighting up.
I dumped out the bag. I had with me.
“So, I was thinking about wearing mostly casual clothes. What I usually wear.” I said and almost immediately got an answer.
“Absolutely not!,” Yachi exclaimed, “I knew you would do this, so I may or may not have set something aside.”
The evil grin on her face made me weary of what she was planning. She got up from her bed and pulled out a shirt and a pair of jeans.
“Don’t worry. I took into consideration your sense of style”
She threw the clothes to me and told me to go change and see if they fit. So I did. I walked into her bathroom and took my clothes off, exchanging it out for her outfit. As soon as I put it on, my face lit up in embarrassment. I had on a ripped dark pink crop top and ripped blue jeans. She also had me put on some fishnets under the jeans. I walked out of the bathroom and back towards the room. I opened the door and was immediately greeted with a gasp and giggle.
“I love it! You look amazing!” she squealed.
I looked at her and realized why she wanted me to wear this. She had on a lighter pink shirt with a black jean skirt. She also had fishnets on. She wanted us to match.
“Says the one who looks like absolute royalty.”
We both laughed as I shoved my clothes into my bag. We spent the rest of the night in our clothes as we laughed, talked and played games. When it was time to sleep, I headed to the bathroom to change into my pajamas. We immediately fell asleep, me on the floor, her on her bed.
The next morning, when I got up, I heard Elton John playing on the CD player. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and yawned.
“You’re finally awake! Good! Mom made breakfast. Let’s go eat.” Yachi grinned.
I sleepily walked down, humming along with the Elton song that played.
“Good morning, Tadashi. Did you sleep alright?” Yachi’s mom asked me.
I nodded and sat down.
I was one-hundred percent certain that the whole house was buzzing with excitement. It was only a couple of hours until we could leave for the concert (I woke up at seven, Yachi apparently could barely sleep. The concert started at two.) I was already changed and now we waited. We got everything ready that we were going to bring. All the while, Elton John was playing on the CD player; blasting throughout the house.
“Kids! Lets go!” We both heard her moms booming voice call out.
“IT'S TIME!!” Yachi excitedly yelled.
We all piled into the car and made our way to the building where the concert was held. We stood in line for a good half hour before the security guards checked our bags and let us in.
And that. That is where the world changed. It went from the gloomy outside world to the excitement of everything. The place was lit up in blacklights. Any blacklight worthy piece of clothing or item was lit up. Something I didn't notice, however, was the string around my finger tugging ever so slightly. We found a seat and watched the show. Many bands went onstage, something that happens at every concert until finally everything went dark. The lights on stage changed. They were now blacklight like the rest of the place. I could see the music sensation himself walk onstage as many other people walked from the side lines, giving anyone who asked or didn’t have on blacklight worthy clothes, a face full of drawn on blacklight marker shapes.
I felt my string pull this time my eyes lit up when I realized that my soulmate might be in or near the building. I got ripped out of my thoughts by Yachi grabbing my shoulders with the biggest grin on her face. Although the lyrics were english and we didn’t understand a thing, that didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. The pull of the string left my mind. I was having the best time with my best friend.
“Tadashi! Let’s get our faces painted!” Yachi exclaimed, pointing at a worker who was walking around.
He had (h/l) (h/c) hair with glowing (e/c) eyes. I was mesmerized by him that I didn’t realize my nodding head and Yachi running towards him. I chuckled softly as I saw her dragging him over. The smile on his face and his laughing figure made it clear that he was used to it and he didn’t mind. The two of them made it over and at first we just stared at each other. His (e/c) eyes mixed with the blacklight made it seem like I was looking into a galaxy. Neither of us moved, fearing that we would never land eyes with each other again. Although. We had to look away when Yachi gasped loudly.
“What? What's wrong, Hitoka?” I asked, ripping my gaze away from the handsome male and grabbing Yachi’s hands.
“Your string!,” she exclaimed, “I can see you string!!”
I was confused at first until I looked down. The orange string glowed in the blacklight. I followed it towards the captivating male.
“It's you..”
Oh god. His voice sounded sweet. Like sugar.
I saw him softly smirk as he walked towards Yachi’s mom. He started drawing on her face with her consent. He did the same with Yachi. However, it took longer with her because she kept asking questions about him. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the male. He was so bright. He reminded me of the moon and how it shone in the clear night sky. When he was done with the Yachi’s, he turned to me.
He got close to my face, softly grabbing it and asking if he could draw. I nodded. His hands were (soft/rough) against my face.
“My name is (Y/n) (L/n),” his sugar-coated voice spoke, “What's yours, starman?”
Starman. I liked it.
“Tadashi Yamaguchi,” I replied, “I like your name, Moonshine”
He laughed softly at the nickname. That laugh was captivating. I loved it. I love him. I’d just met him, but there was somewhere inside me that was rejoicing at seeing him again. I smiled a goofy looking smile.
“Wow,” his voice laced with love, “You look shiny enough to make a wish on”
A grin spread across his face while he said that. Almost immediately afterwards, he blew glitter in my face (making sure not to get any in my eyes).
“One last thing.”
He coated his lips in the blacklight marker and kissed right next to my lips. It left a mark on my cheek. He grinned and took out his phone.
“May I get a picture of someone as shiny as you?” he asked.
I nodded as he wrapped his arms around my neck, taking the picture with me. He smiled and thanked me, putting up his phone. I was about to ask for his number when a small child dragged him off.
When the show ended, I pulled Yachi with me to go find (Y/n). Her mom told us that she would be in the car. I followed the string and luckily caught up to the (h/c) male before he walked backstage.
“(Y/N)!” I called.
He and a black haired male turned towards me. A grin spread across his face as he turned towards the other worker.
“You go, ‘Kaashi. I’ll be there in a second.”
The other male nodded and walked backstage. (Y/n) walked towards us, a wide smile plastered across his face.
“Hey there, Starman”
“Hey..”
Yachi grinned and started speaking.
“Hi again!,” she exclaimed.
“Oh hey!” (Y/n) replied.
“This might sound weird, but how old are you?”
(Y/n) laughed and replied.
“I’m seventeen. I got this job because my uncle knows a couple of people. How about you two?”
“We’re both sixteen,” I piped up.
He grinned widely and nodded.
“Oh! What school do you go to?” Yachi asked
“Fukurodani. Where do you two go?”
“Kurasuno” we replied at the same time
He laughed. Wow. I love that laugh.
“Cool! Oh. Starman. Can I get your number?” (Y/n) asked.
“Absolutely,” I replied.
We exchanged numbers before heading our own direction. When I got into the car. I got two texts simultaneously.
“Hey there, Starman. I thought you might want this as a picture to remember the night.” Along with the picture that he took of the two of us.
I thanked him and set his picture as that specific one.
He really was perfect.
~Bonus~
“Tadashi! Hitoka! Did you two have fun?” Hinata came running up to us, his own blue string bouncing with him.
Yachi grinned and nodded.
“Loads! And it also turns out that our little Tadashi found his soulmate at the concert.” She playfully purred.
“NO WAY!! WHO WAS IT? WERE THEY PRETTY?” The ginger asked excitedly.
I nodded, blush forming on my face.
“Yeah.. He was.. His name is (Y/n). He goes to Fukurodani,” I replied before pulling out my phone.
I pulled up the picture of him and I and showed it to my friends. Tsukishima actually smiled and congratulated me. That was something else.
