The Open Relationship

Chapter 9-

Chapter 9 – The Deal

Kyouka heads to work after dropping Damon off at the summer club. She gets out of the car, greets Kirishima at the reception desk, and heads to her office to work on schedules for people to meet Katsuki. As she scans her eyes, she realizes that today is the day a band is coming in to meet Bakugo but he isn't in town since he met someone for a weekend. It didn't bother the purple-haired mother since they were in an open relationship and made sure she couldn't get her heart broken again but she had that feeling he went out this weekend so that he wouldn't have to deal with meeting new people.

The single mother pressed a call button on her desk to Kirishima to communicate "what's up?" he asked concerned and Kyouka just hummed trying to make sure the dates were right.

"there's a band coming at five this afternoon and Bakugo isn't here," she said and Kirishima started to hum thinking of what to do searching on his computer for the appointments.

"yeah, a heavy metal band called skulls n Bonez," he said and Kyouka groaned in annoyance. "he's like five hours away from here, I would call him but I can't be bothered to get screamed at" the redhead laughed making Kyouka laugh. have

"well I could talk to them and ask them a few questions, I don't have clients yet," Kyouka said and Kirishima nodded along.

"Yeah that will be fine, I'll call and let them know," he said and hung up the line linking to her office.

As the hours passed it was five and Kyouka was very nervous about the band coming in. deep down she hoped that they wouldn't come in but the heavy metal singers came strolling in as if they owned the place. Kirishima got up energetically and shook the lead singer's hand who looked terrifying. "YO! Welcome to Music Bomb, are you Skullz n Bonez?" he greeted and they nodded their heads. He noticed a young girl with them too who looked a little out of place but he didn't judge. "so, my boss for the day will be coming to see you soon. There have been slight changes because the big guy who you are meant to see is out of town but the other manager is here and would love to help you guys out" he explained and they nodded along and sat down on the black chairs in the reception waiting for Kyouka to come out. Kirishima clicked on the red button to call through to her office. "they're here!" he sang in a creepy voice and Kyouka took a deep breath.

She picked up a clipboard and pen to balance behind her ear heading out of the office she saw the group sitting, waiting for her arrival. "Hi, I'm Kyouka Jiro, I'm sorry that Bakugo isn't here, he had to do something out of town but I'm happy to help you out and work with you" she greeted and everyone was shaking her hand. "so did you wanna go down to the studio and I can hear your voices?" she asked and they all headed down.

It's been an hour and Kyouka is listening to the ruckus of music as Heavy metal isn't her forte but she knew they were good for a heavy metal target audience, as she looked at the band she noticed that the girl wasn't singing the right tones for the genre and was getting drowned out. Kirishima came in and gave Kyouka a hot tea and bopped his head to the music as he was a heavy metal singer himself. "damn they are good" he said and the purple-haired mother nodded in response.

"I think so too but I can't seem to hear the girl," she said. Kirishima studied the group again and then started to alter the microphones so that they could hear the brunette trying her hardest to keep up with the group and agreed.

"she's very pop-punk, it wouldn't make the heavy metal charts if her voice was heard," he said and Kyouka sighed deeply. "you got this!" he said knowing she will have to talk to them about either breaking up the group or refuse a record deal to go further which she was terrified for.

When Kirishima went back to the desk he saw the angry blonde storm into the building which confused him a lot. "the hell are you doing back? Get catfishes" he laughed and Bakugou just scoffed and leaned against the desk to talk to his best friend.
