"Come on! If you don't move any faster we're going to miss it!" Komori cooed as he proceeded to drag Sakusa inside by the wrist.
There was already quite a crowd despite the venue not being the largest. However, this band was rapidly growing in popularity and people would do anything to be at one of their first concerts.
No doubt about it, they would be globally known one day.
"Sakusa." A man with mostly grey hair called out to him, he recognised it to be Kita, inarizaki's band manager. He was a pretty friendly guy, he even made the cover art for their first album.
"You must be here to see Atsumu right? You two are pretty close. Here's the list of songs. Have a great night!"
"Actually I'm-." But before he could explain himself Kita was busy making acquaintance's with other audience members.
"Sakusa!" Another loud voice called out. This time a familiar excitable ginger boy hopped towards him.
"Hinata? What are you doing here?" The Karasuno band was also pretty popular, so it was rare to see them at other concerts.
"Isn't it obvious! I came to see Inarizaki play! I mean, we're going up against them in a talent contest so I have to see how they play. But I kinda got lost and now I can't find Tsukishima or anyone."
He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly before speaking.
"You must be here for Atsumu! In fact, they're starting in ten minutes. There's a spot at the front so go!" Hinata pushed him further into the crowd towards the silver rails that were bombarded by inpatient people.
"I'm not only here for Atsumu."
"Sure, sure. Get your mans Sakusa!"
"Yeah get your mans!" Komori repeated as Hinata shoved them up against a bar. Just like Kita, he seemed to disappear into the crowd. Why was everyone so desperate for him to get with Atsumu? They hardly knew each other.
The slightest tug of a curtain or tuning of a guitar string would send the crowd into a frenzy. Sakusa hated impatient people, especially crowds. Which is why he never attended concerts, not unless Komori dragged him along.
There was a brief lighting change from a dark red to a purple, Inarizaki's signature colours. The curtains were drawn open sending the crowd into a roaring cheer despite nobody being on the stage.
Everything went silent for a second as the lights dimmed and the arena was sent in to pitch darkness.
A rustling began on stage, colours began illuminating the faces of the people on stage. Already he could make out the faces of the members. Atsumu the lead vocalist, Osamu and Suna, the guitarists and back up vocalists and Aran on the drums.
By now, the screeching of the crowd had become background noise as the A major chord echoed throughout the hall. Already, the entire room was hypnotised.
The red light that originally revealed their faces abruptly changed into a fluorescent purple as the vocals began. It was a cover of a song, but they made it their own.
"Oh baby, don't you know I suffer?
Oh baby, can you hear me moan?"
Atsumu's voice was really something, even from those first two lines he felt the vibrations of his vocals absorbing him.
"You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?"
"Ooh
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight."
Every single person in the crowd sang along flawlessly, hypnotised by this new voice. Right then and there his eyes honed in on Atsumu in a way they never had before. It felt as if he could see, feel, taste every inch of him. No concert had ever made him feel so entranced like this once did.
"Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul)."
The twins famous harmonising drew the crowd in further, but Sakusa didn't seem to notice.
Right now he was completely fixated on this new side of the blonde, a feeling arose within himself, one that made him feel afloat. Like a swarm of butterflies or a whirlwind was pooling in his stomach begging for him to scream and become lost in the cheers of the crowd. Yet he remained silent.
"I thought I was a fool for no one
Oh baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?"
For only a moment black eyes met brown eyes igniting a fire within him. A light breeze traced the crowd as smoke machines encapsulated the band members in a mystical cloud.
"You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight."
It was then Sakusa found himself transfixed, under a spell of blonde hair and brown eyes. Vocals that could reach out and touch people's hearts left their mark deep within his soul. Guitar chords and drums accompanied his vocals on their journey across the crowd.
"Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul)."
As Osamu rejoined him to harmonise Sakusa felt so alone, he had fallen into a dream like state. But he wasn't alone in a bad way, it felt like he was the only one in the arena, witnessing a concert only for his eyes.
It felt as if he could see right into the others soul as they made eye contact again and again.
Right now he felt more alive than he had ever been. Despite Komori's amused glare he could feel in his peripheral vision he continued to ignore it, not wishing to be freed this musical trance.
"Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
(Super massive black hole)."
His voice was a whisper as he spoke those lyrics into the microphone, eyes closed yet he was still so beautiful.
The way his body language accompanied every beat of the song was mesmerising, he was the heart of the entire band that pumped blood and provided life to the entire crowd.
"Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive."
When Atsumu opened his eyes and met Sakusa's gaze, the smirk he sent his way somehow pulled him in further. Sucking him in like a black hole and destroying and coherence he once had. His eyes fluttered shut again, and so did Sakusa's. He hoped he could feel exactly what Atsumu was feeling, up on his podium.
"Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul)."
He could feel everything, the way his heart sped up and his head began to spin. His body felt light and his jaw unclenched. It wasn't often that he did, but he felt his lips curl into a smile.
"Super massive black hole."
Each second his voice was amplified throughout that mic it sent shivers down his spine. Goosebumps lifted the hairs on his neck and arms sending a pleasant stream of electricity throughout his body.
"Super massive black hole."
"Fuck." Sakusa finally spoke, breaking his silence and focusing more on this handsome man on stage.
"Super massive black hole."
Sakusa let out a laugh, nobody had ever made him feel this way before. Komori was even surprised at his sudden change in attitude. It wasn't often he was able to witness his genuine smile and relaxed features.
"Super massive black hole."
"I think I'm in love."
