your pov
you knew nothing of love .
so when you first witnessed a vivid BAD SQUAD performance ,
you couldn't describe the feeling you felt .
it was like all positive emotions ,
made into a somewhat horrifying amalgamation .
that's how you'd describe it .
and from that day forth ,
you had sworn to bring others that same feeling .
all by yourself .
kind of daunting .
but you got this .
it was your first competition .
dressed in a black crop top ,
black short/skirt combo ,
fishnets with white leg warmers over them ,
and to top it off a (F/C) jacket .
hair styled so you could easily place white and (F/C) headphones on .
who else was in the contest ?
zero fucking clue .
just give it your all .
that's all you gotta do .
and so ,
with a deep breath ,
you stepped out onto the stage .
you kept it together .
the song was slightly ,
no no ,
VERY provocative ,
but it's fine .
seisou bakurestu boy .
one of your favourite vocaloid songs .
you had heard vivid BAD SQUAD's cover of vocaloid songs ,
and used that as inspiration .
as the song drew to a close ,
you were panting heavily ,
and locked eyes with an audience member .
Shinonome Akito .
wait .
wait wait wait .
Shinonome Akito !?
shit .
shit shit shit .
that meant .
that meant vivid BAD SQUAD had seen you perform .
god .
oh god .
that's so fucking embarrassing .
ah .
what if they're in the contest ?
then you had no way to win .
panic filled you ,
they're probably laughing at how bad you were .
you felt like running .
hiding .
screaming .
crying .
instead of the amalgamation of positivity ,
you felt every negative emotion .
crushing you .
robbing you of your breath .
you struggled to breathe ,
clutching your frail throat .
not only had the performance tired you ,
causing you to pant ,
the sheer terror of it all ,
it rendered you choking .
your vision blurred from tears and lack of oxygen ,
you couldn't make out who was knelt by you .
they placed a hand on your shoulder .
" listen to me ,
follow my instructions ,
can you do that ? "
you give a timid nod .
his voice was nice .
you recognised it too ,
but couldn't place where from .
" good girl .
breathe in ,
and hold for ,
one ,
two ,
and three . "
you do as he instructed .
" now breathe out ,
and hold for ,
one ,
two ,
and three . "
he continues to coach you ,
helping you stop essentially choking yourself in hysteria .
" you did great . "
you look to him to thank him ,
and your whole body freezes .
the whole reason for your panic .
sat beside you .
seeing you in such a pitiful state .
Shinonome Akito himself .
gah .
you wanted to scream .
but .
you refrained .
he would only pity you more .
you didn't want that .
focus on breathing .
like Akito had told you how to .
" I just came to tell you how great your performance was ,
I do hope I haven't scared you . "
you shake your head adamantly .
" no no of course not ,
it's just ,
this was my first time on stage and- "
" stage fright ? "
he had cut you off .
you only nod ,
looking away .
" I'm sorry . "
he tilts his head at you .
" what're you sorry for ? "
breathing the same air as him .
being so pitiful .
being such a disgrace .
one word sums up all that however .
" existing . "
he shakes his head with an exasperated sigh ,
handing you a scrap of paper with something scribbled on it .
" we should hang out some time (Y/N) "
with that ,
he left .
on the paper ,
his number ,
and a small face doodled beside it ;) .
you smile slightly ,
deciding it would be best to go home and rest .
after much ,
and by much it was an all night debate back and forth with yourself ,
you text him .
Shinonome Akito
hey , it's (Y/N) , from the contest ?
hey !
I didn't think you'd actually text me ha
oh
I'm sorry
It's fine
I'm glad you did
really ?
mhm .
I was wondering if you wanted to get coffee w me today
oh
uh
sure :D
great
meet me near Kamiyama ok ?
alright :)
you squeal with excitement ,
one of your inspirations to sing wanted to spend time with you .
it was practically a dream come true .
you rush to get ready ,
running out of the door ,
adrenaline rushing through you ,
simply because of how happy you were .
and because of that ,
you were earlier than him .
he showed up not long after you ,
a smirk on his face .
" I do hope I didn't keep you waiting . "
you shake your head .
" no no ,
I got here not long ago . "
he smiles ,
extending a hand to you .
" shall we ? "
you couldn't help your face flushing red ,
you accept his hand .
he leads you to a coffee shop ,
claiming he would've taken you to his favourite ,
but didn't want you to die upon seeing the rest of vivid BAD SQUAD ,
all in one place .
it made you laugh in all honesty ,
especially since you've already seen Kohane ,
a girl from vivid BAD SQUAD ,
being normal ,
since she's in your class .
when it came time to leave ,
Akito said something that made your face heat up once more .
" I hope you enjoyed the date dear . "
