"Aha, excuse me but can you repeat that?" you asked, raising a brow while your soft smile turned to a bittersweet grin, slightly intimidating the band member. The female member gulped and looked down on the ground, shame dragging her down as she was too embarrassed to look you in the eye.

"M-my guitar strings b-bro-broke." she nervously stammered, shaking a bit since the female was quite aware of the sharp glare you were giving off to her. The girl didn't hear a reply, hesitating to look up she managed to caught a glimpse of your irritated facial expression. "Oh my god i fucked up." She mumbled, the look you were giving her wasn't really something comforting and pleasant to see.

You shut your eyes tight, trying your best to not yell and scare off the underclassman, she was only a 1st year like your lover Shibayama, so you didn't wanna pressure her too much about her personal mistakes and statement.

"Can't you get it fix before our practice? We only have until tomorrow before our gig." you asked, forcing your tone to be as gentle and soft as possible which was slightly a success, seeing as your expression was already giving off the vibe you were completely done with her.

Your band member gulped and lowered her head once again, fiddling nervously with her fingers as she still avoids your gaze.

Just by the look on your fellow member's actions and expression, you already know what she was about to say but stayed silent, hoping that she would say something different that you think.

"A-about that.. I-I won't be able to stop by a store tomorrow.." She stopped and began muttering quietly to herself, she was either talking to you right now or she was murmuring and mumbling inaudible spells or something close to that. Which was the only reason why your eyebrow raised in both confusion and curiosity.

"Oi, I can't hear you." you scold, making her flinch and shut her eyes tight as she took a deep breath, trying to atleast clam herself down from embarrassing herself further more than she already had.

"I won't be able to stop over a shop tomorrow since I won't be coming to the studio! M-my family has s-some v-visitors t-that they want me to meet.." She paused and covered her face with both her hands, not looking towards you - seeing as your vicious stare was already something she had to clearly avoid.

"B-but! I-I'll still be there at our performance to play!" she continued, feeling hopeful that you wouldn't be too annoyed or disappointed in her.

Guess what? No, she was most definitely

Sure enough you were a bit surprised that she was confident in playing without practicing tomorrow, she was pretty new to playing the guitar so worrying about her performance on stage was quite expected.

First, your drummer keeps forgetting what to do. Your back up vocalists is always off key, the pianist got in a heated fight with one of your vocalists, one of your guitarist is most likely getting a fever and now the other broke the strings on who knows how?

You were too pissed to even think of an insult to spat and bark, instead, you slam your head to a nearby desk, earning a loud shriek of concern from your band member.

"L-L/n-Senpai..?" she calls out, worried for the band leader. Receiving no reply, you walked away from the wall, your head hung low as you grab your bag.

Almost all of your band members flinched at the sudden slam of the door, exchanging expressions with each other, worried for their leader as they didn't do anything hur just watch you stomp your wag out of the room. Some of them trying their hardest to comfort the guilty female, who seemed to wash over regret when she had realised she had solely disappointed her idol and lead.

"L/n, calm down with the door, you don't wanna break it do you?" the old woman behind the desk scolds as you reply a quick mutter of apology before walking out of the building. Though of course you kinda felt guilty for practically almost breaking the whole door down, after all, you were just renting the place and that you didn't have the right to smash anything.

"Fuck this is getting in my nerves.."

With a deep sigh, you took out your phone, looking at the time before pressing your lips into a thin line, reluctant and contemplating whether you should call Shibayama or not.

But looking at the time, itwas already afterschool, you don't have a club since you already had a band to start off with, so you always leave school earlier without waiting for your boyfriend to finish his activities and practices with the rest of his teammates.

"Could he be busy?" you mutter, thinking that you may disrupt their practice, but Kuroo and Nekomata loves you too much to scold you even if you did. So it kinda relived your state a bit.

With one final soft sigh, you pressed the call button on Shibayama's contact number. Hearing repeated rings through your phone before a familiar gentle voice came.

"Hi!" Shibayama excitedly greets, but who could blame him for being so ecstatic the moment you called?

You've been too busy with your band and talking with people that will help you do a performance in different kinds of places.

So of course you paid absolutely no attention to your boyfriend, which at first he didn't mind since he fully understands the stress that you're going through.

Your band had a good amount of members, most of them were first years from different schools while some of them are already in their university stage.

To be honest, the volleyball team was genuinely surprised that you managed to get amazing and talented people. Not to mention that you, a 2nd year in Nekoma high, was the leader.

You were a member of a band in junior high, but of course it didn't quite work at.

After the vocalist caught a fight with the drummer, everything just went downhill which obviously stressed you alot.

But of course, being an aspiring musician, you decided to leave your old band and start a new one yourself.

It took a long time before you managed to gather up members but it was worth the wait.

But after the disappointing past that you experienced, you tried your best to maintain a good role model as a leader, which of course needed a lot of time and effort.

Shibayama was beyond happy that you were finally back into your old stage, but slightly disappointed that all the attention you were supposed to give him, was given to the band.

"Hey." you replied, a small smile appearing on your face, it has been awhile since you last called him in afterschool time, especially when both of you are busy with your afterschool activities.

"Any reason you called?" He asked as you fakely scoffed, "N-not that I didn't want you to call or anything! I-it's just been awhile since you called me when were both pretty busy with practices."

You could only chuckle lightly at his words, he was always so shy and gentle it could basically kill you but of course he was competitive when it comes to playing.

"I just wanted to say he—"

"Oi oi," a familiar male voice called out to you, your head turning to the entrance of the building where one of the university student, which was also a member of the band, was standing.

"Break times almost over." he continued, pointing at his watch that was placed on his wrist, you smiled and motioned him to wait.

He just nods and stood there at the doorway, patiently waiting for you to finish up the call you have.

Returning your attention back to Shibayama, who was fully aware that you were about to leave. "Ah, I need to go. I'll see you at 8pm?" even though you couldn't see him, he was still frowning.

"Okay.. Yeah.. Goodbye, can't wait for the sleepover." just as he was about to end the call, his face flushed as he stood there, stunned by your words.

"Mkay, stay safe darling." and with that, a beep was followed, indicating that the call already ended.

The libero flushed red, staring at his phone with wide eyes which caught the attention of a certain black haired bedhead.

Before he knew it, an arm was placed around both of his shoulders which made him flinch, turning his head to see who it was, only to reveal the one and onl—

"C-Captain!" he greeted, smiling softly which Kuroo returned with a smug grin. "Was that Y/n?" He asked which Shibayama answered with a eager nod.

"Darling huh~" the captain teased, making past flushed red expression come back to the libero, "H-how did you hear?!" Shibayama exclaimed though his tone was obviously telling the bedhead he was confused.

Kuroo just simply pointed at the cellphone, "It was on loud speaker."

"It was? Oh-I didn't notice." your lover muttered, glancing back at the phone before returning his gaze back to his volleyball captain, who still wore the grin on his face.

"Oh well, go pack up if you don't wanna be left alone." Kuroo chuckled, patting your boyfriend by the back before walking away.

Shibayama let's out a small sigh and nod, obeying his captain's orders before fully walking out of the gym with the rest.

The bedhead slowed down his steps to walk beside the libero, leaning closer to his ear, making the male go once again, scarlet red.

"Don't have too much fun in your sleepover."

Take note! Make sure your phone isn't in loud speaker when a guy named Kuroo Tetsurou is around you.

➳——★——➳

Shibayama paced back and forth, waiting for you in his house. His parents were out for a few weeks so he had the whole home to himself.

Finally what felt like eternity, several knocks on his door was heard as he smiled widely, opening it with a excited expression to see you.

"Hey hey~" you greeted, quickly pecking him on the lips which of course made his cheeks tint a shade of light pink, as usual.

He moved aside, allowing you to walk in as you did so with a soft smile. "Its been awhile since we did this huh." you chuckled which he responded with a smile and a small nod.

"Yeah it has." despite the fact that you've been ignoring him in the hallways, not replying to some of his texts and the dark circles underneath your eyes, showing you haven't been sleeping much lately.

'Course he confronted you about it, that's how the sleepover happened after all. He needed to know on why your in your current state.

A soft yawn escaped your lips which of course caught the attention of your lover, "You sound tired,"

"I'm aware." you chuckled which made him lightly smile, motioning you to follow him upstairs.

Shaking your hand along with a soft grin, you declined his offer which confused him. "Ah, I need to do something first. You can go ahead," You paused as you turned your back on him.

Shibayama watched as you sat down on the couch, patting the spacious seat next to you whilst your hands were holding a notebook and a pen.

"Or you can watch TV while waiting for me?" you suggested, shrugging to yourself before averting your attention back at you notebook.

It only took a couple blinks for Shibayama to realise the situation. Though considering the day had already ended, you were still memorising your lines as a vocalist.

He did mind of course, you weren't in the studio anymore and as far as he knows, you've already memorised the words just a few days ago.

Of course he didn't know what the song was about since you never sing it infront of him or even let him see the lyrics from your notes, it never really bothered him until now.

"Y/n-Chan..but we-.."

"Hn?" you hummed, not looking up to him as he stopped his words, shaking his head even though you weren't glancing at him.

"Nothing. Sorry, never mind." he continued as you just nod your head, eyes fully focused on the pages as he sat down next to you, frowning.

.

"I.. It was the worst.." he muttered, answering the question that his friend, Inuoka recently just asked.

The former middle blocker raised a brow, his smile slightly disappearing, puzzled at the reply. "Eh? How so?" a heavy sigh escaped Shibayama's lips from the question.

"I woke up at 2." he trailed off before closing his eyes, a frown plastering itself on his lips. "She was still in the living room..memorizing her words."

Inuoka blinked before scrunching uo his face in a questioning look, "Huh? Didn't she say she already knows it?"

"That's what I thought! Apparently she doesn't want it to be a complete bust." Shibayama, again let out a he sigh as he takes out his phone, glancing at the date.

"She has a performance tomorrow at 6." he shrugged and looked back at the other male, "Do you mind coming?" Inuoka let's out a laugh as he nodded rather excitedly.

"Of course! The whole team is going," the male stopped his words as he points to a direction, "Oh look its L/n-Senpai." Shibayama's ear perked up as his eyes shined, looking over to where you were walking.

But his smile faltered and disappeared as you literally just walked past him, staring intensely at your notebook while muttering a few words underneath your breath.

Inuoka's mouth formed into a 'o' shaped as he glanced at you, still too spaced out while walking as he shrugs. "I see what you're talking about.."

"Right?! It's getting into my nerves," Shibayama complained, tugging his hair out of annoyance before exhaling.

"Whatever.. Let's just go."

.

"Sorry darling, I can't go. I have alot of things I'm working on."

"But love.."

"I'm sorry, this is too important.

I love you"

A loud groan escaped your boyfriend's mouth as he bangs his head onto the table, placing his phone down defeatedly.

"Too important..? What does that even mean.."

The team decided to go out for ramen today after their afterschool acitivies, Shibayama tried inviting you but obviously got rejected.

Kuroo peeked a bit at the phone that was on the table nefore shrugging, "Eh.. Atleast we get to see her tomorrow."

"I'm so excited!" Lev cheered, squealing to himself quite loudly and disrupting before earning a smack on the head by the other libero, Yaku.

"Yeah.. Yay." your lover, still crestfallen by the past events that occurred between the two of you.

He wasn't looking forward to it at all, all he wanted is to cuddle you and never let go..

Literally.

➳——★——➳

"Its so loud!"

"What?!"

"What are you guys talking about?!"

"Huh?! I can't hear you!" The pointless conversation between Kuroo, Lev and Yamamoto earned a few eye rolls from the rest of the team. It just made them look like lunatics, trying to start a conversation with each other even though the loud music that was blasting through the room was covering their voices.

"Its supposed to be loud.." Kenma muttered which Shibayama heared but responded with a sulky sigh, frowning.

"Is everything okay?" Yaku asked, making sure his voice was just the right volume for the other libero to hear.

"Ah.. Yeah," the male mother was quite not pleased with his answer but let him off anyways, not wanting to pry any longer and decided to enjoy the music.

Shibayama was still clearly sulking and dishearted, the ignorance, the lack of time and attention you give him was bothering him was way too much for his well being.

All he could think about is you, and only you in his arms again.

"That gave me chills." Kuroo commneted, clapping his hands along with the crowd whilst Kenma squinted his eyes at the bedhead captain.

"You didn't even listen, all you did was talk and drink juice.." the setter rolled his eyes with a sigh before focusing back at the stage.

"Y/N!! HELL YEAH!" Lev cheered once he heared your band's name called, the rest cheering along. It was sometimes a rare thing for them to come at events like this, practice always seemed to be endless so they haven't found the time to attend your performances. So it's quite normal for them to be this hyped up.

Shibayama's mouth agape as he stared at you, flushed red. You never fail to amuse and intruig him with literally anything.

But you were Y/n, everything you do always amazes him so pleasing the crowd won't be too hard for you to do, the moment you and your members walked on stage the crowd already had gone mega wild.

Just as he suspected.

"This one is for you." You coo in the mic, a flirtatious smirk appearing on your face along with your finger pointing to a certain someone in the suffocating and busy crowd.

"M-me?!" He exclaimed, pointing to himself quite surprised as you grinned and gave him a wink.

That one.. Was unexpected.

He stared at you with loving eyes and admiration as you performed your heart out.

Your lover felt a click in his mind as he placed all the pieces together, the reason you weren't giving him time it's because you wanted the performance to be perfect just for him. It just made so much sense, it's been awhile since you performed for a specific certain someone so it was normal for you to stress out when a mistake happens, he coildnt help but feel frankly guilty about doubting your lack of presence towards him - but your voice had already hypnotised him to pleasentry - that he already had forgotten omthe thought of loosing you to a busy schedule.

Shibayama smiled widely, looking at you but never once he looked away, the lights that gone around the room along with repetitive chants if your bsnd name echoed through, your figure that swayed with your h/c hair flowing around the air graciously.

"you did so amazing!"

"Thank you, I'm really sorry if I neglected y—"

"You don't need to be! I loved it!"

"Yeah yeah, can we just go and sleep now?"

"I'd be more happy to."

"I love you."

"Love you too."

Idk what to put here so uh..
