It was April 2nd. The day of the performance. Although you had everything down thanks to the tiring rehearsals, you were still nervous.
It had been a long time since you've performed with your bandmates. There were only a couple of gigs once Mikasa disappeared. Playing together wasn't the same without her.
The four of you continued to write and produce songs, however. In fact, you became the band member that wrote the most songs after she left.
Beforehand, it was Eren. He happened to be much better at expressing his emotions through music than he was through regular words.
Now that Mikasa was back, this would be the first of many more performances. You were excited for the future, but nervous nonetheless.
You always had a habit of being jittery before concerts. Nerves were nerves. You never got used to them.
The rehearsals from the past couple of days were long and exhausting. But it only made sense for how short notice the event was.
You had everything noted and memorized for the performance and you were giddy with impatience for the events of the night.
Despite not playing together for two years, you still sounded great together. You expected it to be hard for you all to get back into the flow of things, but it came surprisingly natural.
You walked into the kitchen, guitar case in hand.
"You taking that out to the car?" Jean asked, fiddling with his microphone at the island.
"Yeah. Where are the others?"
He pointed to the garage door and then to the hallway behind you. "Mikasa's in the driveway with Eren. They're loading up his drum set, her bass, plus cables and shit. Armin's getting their synth from the office."
You nodded coolly. "He's doing that by himself? Why aren't you helping?"
Jean scoffed. "I am helping. Helping myself. I had to dig up my lucky mic. I cant perform without it."
It was your turn to scoff, "I believe you could. Watch over Celia for me while I go help Armin." You slid the guitar off your shoulder and carefully placed it on the floor.
He rolled his eyes. "I still can't believe you named that guitar."
You feigned offense. "'That guitar'? She's a lady, Jean. Please be respectful."
He snorted. "My sincerest apologies. I'll take fantastic care of her."
"Thank you."
You left the room and walked up the stairs to find Armin at the top, observing the staircase.
