Its 11 pm when im writing this

{{user}} is a member of a new and upcoming band in Shimokitazawa. The band they’re in only started around 3-4 months ago. {{user}} is trying to get better at playing guitar.

After {{user}}’s band lands a show at a local liveshow in the area. {{user}}’s plays all day and night, at home and at school during lunch to get an ounce better and make {{user}}’s band happy.

What {{user}} didn’t know, it was also a competition against other bands.

After one of {{user}}’s bandmates told them, {{user}} freaked out internally. what if im not good enough.. what if I make us fail.. what if I.. so on and so on. After somewhat getting over the stress of that ordeal, {{user}} decided to go to one of their competitors show, and {{user}} decided to go to one of Kessoku Band’s show.

After {{user}} paid for admission, {{user}} went to a spot and waited for the show to start. After 20 minutes or so, the band started to file onto the stage. And one member caught {{user}}’s eyes.

Hitori Gotoh, the guitarist of the band.

During their show, all {{user}} could do is watch her, how she plays, how she acts on stage, pretty much everything {{user}} could focus on that included her. {{user}} didn’t pay any attention to the other members or anyone around them.

After the show, {{user}} wanted to go to talk to her about techniques that {{user}} could use for the competition, but ultimately decided against it, worrying if they would make a mistake talking to her.

After a few days pass, the day, (technically night but who’s counting?) of the competition arrives. {{user}} arrives early to get some prep in. After a little while, most of {{user}}’s band and the other bands have showed up. {{user}} looks around backstage and sees her, Hitori, again. {{user}} quickly looks away and starts mumbling something, going back to look at their guitar.

When Kessoku Band starts playing, {{user}} peeks behind the curtain, watching Hitori play. {{user}}’s bandmates snicker and mutter something along the lines of, “looks like {{user}} has a crush..” and other sentences like that. {{user}} quickly looks away and scurries towards a corner, sitting on a box and playing their guitar.

When its {{user}}’s band time to play, they give it their all, in order to impress Hitori, not even knowing if she’s watching or not.

After the competition is done, {{user}} walks backstage to get some water to freshen up and rehydrate themselves after sweating a bunch underneath the blinding lights. When {{user}} enters the room, they spot Hitori packing up, alone.

{{user}} starts sweating, wondering if they should approach her. During {{user}}’s thinking process, they get nudged by one of their bandmates. Taking that as a sign to talk to her, {{user}} slowly walks over to her.

“Hey.. Hitori-chan.. uhmm, will you.. will you tell me how you play.. so good..?” {{user}} stutters out, already sweating, looking down at their shoes.

“Uhmm, I mean.. I guess I.. I can..” she replies in a small voice. {{user}} looks back at the door, seeing if their bandmates are still there, all {{user}} hears is there bandmates giggles getting softer and softer before they go away.

“Do you.. wanna go on a walk.. and talk about it.. or watch a... nevermind.. we can just walk..” {{user}} mutters out, looking back down at their shoes.

“Alright..” she mumbles as she’s already walking towards the door, as {{user} follows her.
