A boy known as Y/N was walking down the street while listening to music. He had his Bluetooth headphones on and his phone in his left hand. His right was on headphones and was bobbing his head up and down due to how much he enjoyed the song.
Eventually, the song ended and he arrived at school. He takes a deep breath in and out. He takes off his headphones as the next song played and turned his phone off. "Don't want a repeat of yesterday," he said remembering a teacher yelling at him for listening to his music in the halls.
He wears his headphones around his neck and walks into the school. He waves to a security guard with a smile as he walked in. He was always very kind. Sometimes, too kind. Or that's what he felt at least.
He just wanted to get through the day and go home where he can rest and enjoy his music. He always loved music as it's something that makes him feel comfortable and lower his anxiety, which was good considering his high levels of anxiety.
Right now, he would have to deal with it as he went to his first class. The moment he entered, he went straight to the bottom left corner of the room and took his seat. He pulled out his phone to play one out of the many apps he has on his phone. Just to kill time before class begins.
Eventually, the bell rings and he puts his phone away and looks forward to the class, and sees a girl he has never seen before. "Who is she?" he mentally questioned.
The teacher stands by her right side as the girl held her head down. "Class, this is our new student. Miku Nakano," the male teacher told them.
Miku lifts her head up revealing her face. "Wow," Y/N thought as he blushed. "She's really cute."
"Hi, I'm Miku," she told everyone so quietly, it was almost a whisper. "I hope we can have a great year together."
"That's nice," commented the teacher. "Now please take a seat."
Without saying a single thing, Miku walked away and searched for a seat. She looked around and noticed there was one seat next to Y/N. He saw her approaching and turned away to hide his blush.
She took her seat and he turned over to confirm that it was right next to him. The new cute girl was sitting next to him. Though, he had a lot of doubt anything would come of this due to his shyness and anxiety.
Just another thing that can haunt him when trying to go to sleep. That's what he thought at least. Only future him knew what would be the result of all of this after all, so there was no need for present him to worry about it.
His class goes well and eventually, the class ends. Nothing out of the ordinary and everyone packs up before leaving for their next class. Miku packs up rather quickly and begins to head for the door to leave for her next class.
Out of nowhere, Y/N tells her "hey, wait!"
"Huh?" she said while turning towards him.
"Uh, I wanted to tell you, welcome to the school!" he told her.
"Hmm, thank you," she replied before turning away and walking out of the class.
Y/N stood there before mentally asking himself "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT, YOU IDIOT?!"
He sighs and packs the rest of his stuff before leaving the classroom to go to his other classes. Eventually, came lunch. His favorite "subject" of the day as he can finally listen to his music without having someone screech at him
So, he orders what he wanted and upon finishing that and getting his food, he turned away, put his headphones on and pulled out his phone, and chose one of his favorite songs to listen to as he enjoyed the start of his lunch.
He played it a little too loud but nothing to draw attention and you would have to be right next to him in order to hear the music. The song itself was Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku. Dragon Ball GT wasn't that good but no one can say that the theme song isn't catchy.
As he walked by, the new girl, Miku, walked by him with her food and stops for a moment and her eyes widen. She heard the song and looked at him wondering if he heard correctly. He wasn't paying attention to her as he was focusing on his song and having fun listening to it.
Miku stood there not sure what to do. If she walked to him and discovered that it wasn't the song she thought, it would be awkward. If she did walk to him and discover it was the song, then... she didn't know what that would lead to. Perhaps a conversation but she wasn't sure.
After a little bit of contemplating, she decides to walk over to him and taps on his shoulder. "Huh?" Y/N jumped and looked at Miku.
She jumped a little as well and feel embarrassed that she decided to do this. He was surprised to see it was Miku. "What is she doing?" he asked himself from within his mind. He didn't understand why she would tap on his shoulder. An immediate thought that came to his mind was that maybe his music was too loud and she was going to ask him to turn it down. Little did he know.
He quickly pulls out his phone, pausing the song, despite not wanting to, and pulls down his headphones to hear what she had to say. "Y-yeah?" he asked.
"Hi, I don't mean to bother you, but I wanted to ask, was that Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku you were listening to?" she asked him.
"Uh, yeah, it is," he answered.
"Cool," she retorted while putting her head down.
Searching for a way to make things less awkward, Y/N looked at an empty table and asked "wanna sit?"
"Sure," she answered before sitting on one side.
He does the same and they both put their food down. "So, you like that song, huh?" he asked her.
"I do. It's one of my favorites," she told him.
"It's one of my favorites as well. And that's why I decided to listen to it," Y/N replied.
"Understandable," she dryly retorted.
"So, I see you like music," he stated. "Your headphones are just like mine."
"Yeah, I do," she answered. "I like to listen to music as I walk home and do stuff I find boring."
"I do the same," Y/N replied. "I also make my own music."
This piqued Miku's interest. "You make your own music?" she questioned.
"Yeah, what I do is, I take random sounds and use them to make a beat. But they'll never get lyrics as I'm a terrible singer," he explained with a half smile.
"Huh, that's not a bad hobby," she told him before eating some of her food.
"Thanks... I think," he responded.
"I'm sorry. I just don't know how to truly respond to stuff like that," she told him.
"It's fine. I'm actually surprised at how long I have been talking with you. Normally my conversations last only for a few words," he replied. "And I liked it that way. But with you, I don't mind."
Miku looked at him with a slightly shocked expression that soon turned into a tiny yet very cute smile. "I can say the same," she retorted.
"Miku," said a girl with long reddish pink hair said to her as she placed a hand on the table. "Are you not eating with us?"
Y/N was annoying by this as she nearly placed her hand on his food but due to his quiet nature, he didn't say anything and looked at her angrily. Miku saw this and shouted "Nino!"
"What?" she responded while lifting her hand. Suddenly, she noticed that Y/N was there and turned to him. "Oh, hi."
"Hi," Y/N said annoyed, already not liking her.
"Nino, I'll come over to you guys in a minute," Miku said before seeing all of Y/N's food gone.
She looks at him as he finishes swallowing the last bit of his food. "I'm done," he told her.
"Really?" Miku asked.
"Really?" Nino asked surprised at how fast he ate the food.
"Yeah, so, go eat with your friend," he told Miku.
"Are you sure?" she asked him.
"Yeah," he answered.
"Okay," Miku said while picking up her plate and getting up, and following Nino to the table with the other three quintuplets.
Y/N put his headphones back on and went back to listening to his music. Except it wasn't as fun as before. It felt like something was missing and he turned to Miku who was now sitting with her sisters. He turned away and continue to listen to his music.
Hours later, Y/N was walking out of school happy to finally be out. Leaving, he was scrolling through the songs on his phone while slowly putting on his headphones. As he does this, he felt someone tap his shoulder.
He jumps just like before but worst and nearly dropped his phone. Luckily, he didn't and managed to catch it. After his mini heart attack, he turned to see Miku behind him. "Oh, it's you again," he said while pulling his headphones down and around his neck.
"Hi, again," she said. "I just wanted to talk with you."
"About?"
"About Nino. She's my sister and I'm sorry for what she did," she told him.
"Oh, don't worry about that. It's not your fault and I'm used to dealing with people like that," Y/N retorted.
"Alright. I just wanted to make sure we didn't start off badly since I don't have any friends here and want to make some," she replied.
"Don't worry, we're good," he told her.
"I'm glad," she said.
"Well, I'll see you around," he told her before walking away.
"See ya!" she slightly shouted.
He puts his headphones and music on and walks home happily. Little did he know what Miku would become something that he would care about more than anything. Her voice was something he liked just as much as music. Her voice was music to his ears.
