🌻 Author's Point of View 🌻
He apologizes, his eyes still closed.
Tsukishima
Oh, are you... okay?
Kei takes a closer look at the boy on the ground before him.
Shoyo opens his eyes just to see a tall blonde guy who's about to cry.
He asks, lifting himself up.
Before Shoyo can say another word, Kei takes Shoyo's hand and pulls him in a tight embrace.
Argh...! Who just hit me?!
🥀 He turns around and glances at the floor, finding a hat and a boy with orange hair wearing glasses, smiling. 🥀
Tsukishima
Oh, are you... okay?
Jeez, his hair can't even stay down.
It's... it's him. It's really him!
His voice, his hair, his smile, they're the same as ever..!..
I want to ask him how he's been ever since he disappeared.
"Are you taking good care of yourself?"
He's grown taller at least, that's good.
🥀 Kei takes Shoyo by the hand to pull him closer into a firm and secured embrace. 🥀
I won't let go of my best friend again.

Hinata
Sir...? Please, let go of me.
Shoyo struggles in his embrace, trying to push him away.
Yachi
Hey Tsukishima, we're about to-
A girl with a medium-long blonde hair appears from the corner.
Kei glances at her, and at that moment, he lets his guard down, giving Shoyo the chance to push him away.
Hinata
I'm very sorry for bumping into you.
Shoyo nods his head down, apologizing for the trouble he caused him.
Hinata
But that was nowhere near professional in meeting someone for the first time.
Tsukishima
¤ Is it... really not him? ¤
Tsukishima
¤ Stop thinking negatively, that's definitely him. ¤
She runs back and calls for the others.
Not long after, many footsteps are heard from the corridor.
Yamaguchi
Is it really him??!
Nishinoya
We get to meet Perfect Last's vocalist!!
Yachi
¤ How does Tsukki know him? Are they close? ¤
🌻 Shoyo's Point of View 🌻
Wait... Tsukki recognized me in one look.
What if the others do too?
They'll be here in seconds...
The footsteps are getting louder.
🌻 Author's Point of View 🌻
He turns around to look for somewhere to hide, but it's too late. They've seen him.
Nishinoya
It's really him! He's more attractive in person even with a mask on!
Nishinoya
And shorter than I thought too!
Yamaguchi
Don't you think the last part's kinda rude to say?
A tear drops from her eyes.
Kiyoko
He's so kawaii and cool at the same time... 😢☺
Tanaka
No Kiyoko-san!! Don't fall for him!
Kiyoko "dramatically" falls back into Tanaka's arms, captivated by the boy's cute yet deep voice.
Hinata
¤ Gomen, Tanaka-senpai. ¤
Sugawara
¤ What is this feeling?... ¤
Ennoshita
¤ His presence feels... oddly similar. Like... ¤
Ennoshita peeks his head around Kei and smiles at Shoyo.
Hinata
*flinch* then *sigh*
Hinata
¤ I got found out again... ¤
Kageyama
What's happening?
Hinata
¤ *flinch* ... Kageyama... ¤
He whispers to Suga, signaling him the he wants to talk privately.
Daichi
Don't you think... he feels like... idk.
Sugawara
That's probably just beca-
Lucas (Luke)
Shoyo! Hurry up!
Lucas (Luke)
It's getting cold outside and the cats-
He ends his sentence after seeing the team and run towards Shoyo at lightning speed.
Making the others unable to see him run past them.
Luke then blocks Shoyo with his left hand, warning the others not to touch him.
All
¤ So that's his actual name. ¤
He looks back at Shoyo all confused.
Hinata
Aaand, there it is.
Kageyama
What did you just say..?..
Tobio looks down as he tries to hold his tears, not wanting anyone to see.
Hinata
Ah- hehehe... hi everyone.
The others tear up and run towards Shoyo with open arms.
Lucas (Luke)
Are they...? *whisper*
Lucas (Luke)
Babe, are you okay?
He cups Shyo's face in his hands.
Sugawara
Finish that work and I'll cut your tongue off.
Hinata
What are you doing?? *whisper*
Lucas (Luke)
Just go along with it. *whisper*
His smile is so sweet and cute that Luke couldn't help but blush.
The two of them step aside, choosing to watch and enjoy the gift they've been given.
Lucas (Luke)
Th-then let's go, everyone is waiting in the car.
Luke takes Shoyo's hand, blushing even more and starts to walk away.
Sugawara
No! Wait, please!
Suga grabs a hold of Shoyo's hand.
Hinata
Is there something wrong?
Daichi
We wanted to apologize about-
Lucas (Luke)
Little demon.
Lucas (Luke)
What do you mean it's okay!?
Hinata
If it wasn't for how they acted, I wouldn't have gone overseas.
Hinata
I wouldn't have been able to create a band.
Hinata
So instead of being mad, I choose to be thankful instead.
Tsukishima
Shoyo, did you suddenly become smart after leaving?
Hinata
I wasn't THAT dumb.
Tsukishima
You once got 10 out of 100.
Sugawara
My baby... can mom have a hug?
Hinata
Hm? Of course Suga-san. 😊
Shoyo opens his arms and they all rush towards him, giving him a big hug.
Kuroo
Hey chibi-chan, what's taking the two of you so long?
Kuroo stops walking at the sight of the others squeezing the life out of Shoyo.
He escapes from the team and jumps at Kuroo for a hug.
Shoyo jumps down and goes to Kenma, "screaming his name. 😏"
They hug and talk for a few seconds until Suga calls Shoyo.
Kageyama
He isn't yours Suga-san.
He takes a deep breath as he walks to Tobio and hugs him.
Tobio didn't return the hug, he begins to quietly instead.
Hinata feels the top of his head getting wet, so he looks up and sees that Tobio is crying.
He takes his hands and wipes Tobio's tears but they wouldn't stop.
Kageyama
I waited for you to come back.
Kageyama
But... you came back with someone else...
He sets his forhead on Shoyo's shoulder, still crying and Shoyo caress his hair.
Lucas (Luke)
Just how dull are your friends, little demon?
Hinata
The dullest of all.
Daichi
Did we miss something?
Kiyoko
You missed a whole scene.
Lucas (Luke)
Well, you take care of your business first.
Lucas (Luke)
We'll go and wait for you in the car.
Hinata
Okay 😊, see you guys in a bit.
Sugawara
Hinata, what does your friend mean?
Hinata
Oh! I'll explain in a second.
He turns to the two girls and run towards them also giving them a hug.
Hinata
Yachi-chan! Kiyoko-san!
They hug for about a minute and they all sit down for a talk.
Hinata
Luke was worried earlier.
Hinata
So he pretended to be my boyfriend to get me out of there.
Kageyama
S-so he, he isn't yo-your real b-b-boyfriend?
He asks Shoyo, still crying and stuttering.
Tsukishima
Are you deaf or are you plainly dumb?
Tsukishima
Didn't you hear him say "pretend"?
Hinata
Kei, calm down and be nice.
Yamaguchi
Tsukki, let them talk.
Yamaguchi
No, you shut up!
Ennoshita
What are rare sight.
Nishinoya
Woah! Yams just snapped!
Hinata
No, Kags, he isn't my boyfriend.
Hinata
So you can stop crying.
Tanaka
Soft Kags in the haus!!!
Yachi
Hinata-kun! Can you sing for us?
Hinata
We're having a concert tomorrow.
Hinata
You guys can attend if you want.
Sugawara
Let's check if the tickets haven't been sold out yet!
They take their phones out and check the website for tickets.
Kiyoko
They weren't sold out yet but...
Ennoshita
They're hella expensive!
Kei takes Yams' phone and checks.
Tsukishima
Say, is your band really good or do you just over-price the tickets?
Nishinoya
Shoyo... can you give us tickets to your concert...? 🥺
Ennoshita raises his hand and hits Noya on the head.
Hinata
Actually, I was planning on giving out free tickets.
He reaches for his bag and takes out some concert tickets.
The interior part is black with golden side ends.
~On The Day of the Concert~
~In The Band's Dressing Room~
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
Did you really forgive them?
Asher (Ash)
Just like that?
Jennifer (Jenny, Jen)
Are you sure they've changed?
Hinata
Yep, I think they have.
Hinata
Compared to how they were on that day, I'm sure they've changed.
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
But-
Lucas (Luke)
Leave him be. It's what he wants.
Hinata
Oh? Why are you so being nice to me these days?
Lucas (Luke)
Is it wrong to be nice for once?
Hinata
It's not that I don't like it, it just feel different, ya know?
Hinata
Well, are we ready?
Hinata
Then let's go, go, go!
He heads out first and they walk slowly behind.
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
Yea, you've been acting strange since last night.
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
What happened when you looked for him?
Lucas (Luke)
Nothing in particular.
Jennifer (Jenny, Jen)
Did you tell him about your feelings?
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
Calm down Ash.
Lucas (Luke)
He already has someone else he loves.
Lucas (Luke)
But as long as he's happy, I'm happy.
They pause for a second and Luke looks back at them with a forced smile.
Ash walks up to him and pats his back.
Asher (Ash)
Cheer up bro! We're here for you.
Lucas (Luke)
Hmm... okay, thanks. 😄
The band sang a few song then...
Jennifer (Jenny, Jen)
Let's give it up for Luke's new and self-written song!
The fans cheer, yelling Luke's names.
{Song: Stay by BLACKPINK}
Ash put his electric away and takes out an acoustic.
Isa positions herself on the drum seat and clacks her drumsticks together.
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
1, 2, 3, 4.
Ash plays the intro of the song with the acoustic guitar.
Then Jen joins in with her keyboard and Isa joins quietly with her drums when Luke starts to sing.
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Everything that you do hurting me 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶I keep aching when I am with you 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 You leave me to cry 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Not saying sorry and I still cannot live without you 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Please don't let me go 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Just give me some more time, come and hear what I say 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 I just want you to stay 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 I want you in my life, why don't you have any feelings for me? Oh~ 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 No I don't want love to go, I'll stare at the mirror instead, woah~ 🎶
Not long after the song starts, tears form in Luke's eyes and some fans begin to cry.
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 You take my love for granted every single time 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 But I still want you 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 I want you to stay, stay, stay with me 🎶
His voice cracks and Shoyo saves the song as he comforts Luke.
Hinata
🎶 The sound of rain, it is our melody 🎶
The team flinches at the sound of his voice, now knowing that Helio is actually Shoyo.
Lucas (Luke)
*surprised that Shoyo knows the song*
Daichi
How didn't we know that he could sing?
Ennoshita
Yeah, he would sing often when he was alone in the club room.
Ennoshita
I caught him multiple times.
Hinata
🎶 It makes me cry for you and me 🎶
Hinata
🎶 Your scent is sweet, the sweetest felony 🎶
Luke wipes his tears and joins Shoyo.
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Tell me, just why can't you love me? 🎶
Kageyama
¤ He's talking about boke... ¤
Tsukishima
*internally crying*
Nishinoya
Are you crying Ryu? *quietly*
Nishinoya
Haha, sure. *sniff sniff*
Yachi
I wonder who the song is about.
Kiyoko
It's for Hinata, but Hinata doesn't seem to know.
Sugawara
Such a beautiful song. 😭
Daichi
*blows his nose* then *sinffs*
Ennoshita
They're voices are so angelic and controlled even on the verge of crying. 🤧
{Helio and Luke are singing at the same time now.}
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 All I want is your arms wrapped around me 🎶
Hinata
🎶 Baby, don't leave me tonight 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 I just want you to love me~ 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Like I am your only one 🎶
Hinata
🎶 So don't leave me tonight~ 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Even though you hurt me, I want you 🎶
Hinata
🎶 Dn't ask me why~ 🎶
Lucas (Luke)
🎶 Don't let go of me 🎶
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
🎶 It goes a little something like- 🎶
She sing while clapping and the fans clap and sing along.
All
🎶 lalalalalala lalalalalala 🎶
All
🎶 lalalalalala lalalalalala 🎶
Isabella (Isa, Bella)
🎶 I don't ask for much 🎶
She stands up and walks towards Ash. She ruffles his hair and takes his hand.
The two of them walk across the stage to Jen, and take her hands as well.
Jennifer (Jenny, Jen)
🎶 I just want you here by my side 🎶
Asher (Ash)
🎶 Don't let go of me 🎶
The five of them are now side by side, holding each other's hand, singing.
{Order: Luke, Shoyo, Jen, Isa, Ash}
The fans cheer despite their crying faces and clap.
Hinata
Huh? Did you say something?
Shoyo couldn't hear what Luke said due to the loud cheers around the stage.

I hope this was good! 😊
