Nikolai lazily leaned against his car, talking with his friends. They had an hour left until having to go inside the music show building. As they talked, Nikolai noticed a car pull up on the other side of the parking lot. He saw 4 guys leaving the car and narrowed his eyes. It couldn't be them right?

The albino watched 2 of the guys carrying some stuff into the bus where he had put his stuff earlier. His eyes then wandered back to the other two. The dark haired one lit up a cigarette and blew the smoke into the brunettes face. Nikolai narrowed his eyes at the two, watching them for a while until getting noticed by the smoking boy.
He quickly looked away, joining the conversation of his friends. He couldn't help but think about the smoking dark haired boy. Something on that boy had catched his interest.

The time passed by quickly, and the people walked inside the building. Nikolai sat down next to his friend Atsushi, sighing. He made sure that his friends were all there. Sigma, Chuuya and Atsushi were all there.

Nikolai was about to lean back in his seat, looking surprised when noticing that someone was sitting next to him. »isn't that the smoking guy from earlier?« he asked himself, looking the ravenette up and down. He just looked back to the stage, watching the other bands introduce themselves. Soon it was his bands turn and he stood up, walking on the stage.

"Greetings everyone! The names Nikolai Gogol, leader of The Jesters~!" He spoke, bowing to everyone. Nikolai's friends stepped forward, introducing themselves as well. "The names Nakahara Chuuya, lead guitarist of the band." - "I'm Sigma, the keyboard player of the band.." - "I'm Atsushi Nakijma, drum player of the band! It's nice to meet you all." Atsushi said with a kind and heartwarming smile. You could tell by the crowd that Atsushi was one of the favorites of the Band.

The 4 friends made their way back to their seats as another band got introduced. As Nikolai sat down, he noticed the look from the ravenette. "Is something wrong?" Nikolai asked, raising a brow at fyodor. "No, not at all. I was just not expecting your band to be here. It is a pleasure to meet you in person, Nikolai."
The albino looked tilted his head at Fyodor, blinking. "What a fancy way of talking. It's nice to meet you too,... Uhm. Who were you again?" Nikolai asked to which he only received a deep chuckle. "You'll see."

After that, the unknown ravenette had turned away from Nikolai again, watching the other bands. Nikolai soon noticed that the person next to him was gone. He looked up, seeing him on stage. Nikolai's eyes widened slightly when hearing who the unknown was.

"Hello everyone, the name's Fyodor Dostoyevsky, leader of The Angelic Roses. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Fyodor bowed, glancing at Nikolai. After his friends had introduced himself, Fyodor got to speak again. "Our keyboard player, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, will join us later today because of private reasons." With that, the Russian and his band walked down to their seats, having a smirk on their faces.

Nikolai looked at Fyodor surprised before his eyes darkened. "Pleasure to meet you too, Dostoyevsky." He said lowly, looking down at his rival. Fyodor just laughed and his eyes met with Nikolai's. "Oh please, do call me Fyodor. There's no need to call me by my last name." He spoke, smirking.

Soon all bands were free to go and Nikolai walked outside with his friends. He crossed his arms, watching Fyodor walk past him with a smirk. Nikolai looked at Chuuya and noticed him having a small conversation with the guy from Fyodor's group. »That should be that Dazai guy..« Nikolai thought to himself, looking away again.
His eyes wandered back to Fyodor and he saw the Russian take out a cigarette again. Isn't smoking bad for people who sing? He found it weird that the oh so great singer was smoking.

As everyone waited to get their apartment keys, Nikolai kept watching Fyodor and his band. In just 10 minutes, Nikolai had already noticed some things about the group.
Akutagawa was rather quiet but pretty mean when talking. Dazai was always talking about something that the other two clearly didn't like. And Fyodor? Fyodor seemed pretty smart and calm. He wondered what Shibusawa was like. Why was he even thinking about them? Nikolai just shook his head, joining the conversation of his friends. Currently, Sigma was talking about the Rat that he had found in his keyboard case once.

"Oi Niko, why did you look so surprised at that Fyodor guy?" Chuuya asked after a while, tilting his head. "You were pretty quiet too, which happens rarely. " he added, leaning back as he played a few tunes on the guitar. Nikolai looked up from his phone, blinking at the ginger. "Eeh? I wasn't surprised. And what do you mean with it happens rarely?" The albino asked confused, putting his phone away. "Just saying. " was all he received before Chuuya walked away.

Nikolai had noticed that Chuuya talked with Dazai a lot. Perhaps the rumors were true that the two had a relationship. He watched them for a while before turning away to talk with Atsushi so he wouldn't think about the smoking singer that was standing a few cars away.
Something that Nikolai noticed about Fyodor's outfit, was that he wore a long cross necklace. Maybe he had a God complex or something.

His thoughts were interrupted by fans screaming someone's name. He looked up, seeing a tall guy with long white hair. He blinked at him, thinking that it was someone from a band called 'The Guilt'. But his eyes widened again when seeing that the guy had walked to Fyodor.
Nikolai watched the two hug each other and whisper something to each other before both started laughing.

»So that is the keyboard player.. Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.«
