12: Music

"Okay, okay, okay. I think I have talked enough now, haven't I?" I heard the crowd scream. It was impossible to tell if they said yes or no, but something they did say. My ears already hurt, and we had not even heard one song.

BallaKu laughed and sat down as the lights turned off. Shadows ran up on the scene before sitting down beside him, BallaKu. Even with the lights off, his grin was clear as day. Excitement, not only from him, but also the crowd.

Then, music began in the background.
"Can you promise me one thing?" BallaKu spoke over the music. The people behind me roared up, and a small chuckle could be heard from the scene.

"The rest of Teyvat should be able to hear this concert. So are you ready?" I swear, he sent a look at me. Talk about feeling special. Though I'm sure he just had hair in front of his eyes.

Then he started singing 'Love Talk', and it was amazing. Both him and the background dancers were incredible. Though I have been to many concerts, this was crazy. And I loved it.

"Don't you think he seems a bit... self-centered?" Ha-Rin whispered to me, and I glared at her. I stopped singing the lyric to the third song of the night and stared.

"No." "Do you?"

Ha-Rin shook her head and took a gummy in her mouth. "A little. I mean, he has the biggest concert ever. And yet he asks for more. Like, what?" She rambled and ended with a sigh.

"Plus, he won't even talk with his fans, only at concerts that are like, never held! He seems like a robot to me." Ha-Rin continues and stuffs her face with more gummies and soda.

A sigh escaped my mouth, and I nodded. For once, I agreed with her. He did seem like a robot... Sometimes. Maybe... What if he was? Yeah, okay, no, no way he was. Though I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of robot or puppet was just walking around looking like him. He was famous after all.

"Are you tired?" I flinched and looked up. Raiden sat at the concert with a mic in her hand, staring right down at me. I looked beside me, and all four of my friends stared at me with gaping mouths.

"Oh, don't be quiet now. You seemed nice when we spoke the last two times." Cho leaned forward and stared at me, mouthing the words, 'two?!'. Well, I suppose it has been two times.

"Did I ever get your name? You surely got mine, right? Hey, shortie, the girl I talked about is here!" Raiden lay down on the scene and turned her head towards BallaKu, who walked up to her.

"Who?" Raiden sat up, with a big fat grin on her face, and pointed a finger straight at me. Oh, my Fontainen goddess. He was looking at me. The entire crowd stared at me. My friends grinned and Raiden was smirking. She knew what she was doing, and I hated her for it.

BallaKu jumped off the scene and walked up to security. For once, I wished my front row tickets were switched with the back. Or.... Not really, but this was awkward on a whole other level.

"What is your name?" BallaKu smiled at me, and I wanted to end my life in all the ways possible, twice. No, three times. I was forever thankful for the lights that shined in red and purple that hid my tomato face.

I hesitated, but answered, "(Y/N)."

BallaKu grinned and jumped back onto the stage. Raiden winked at me, and I wanted to disappear into a hole and never return. When I finally returned to reality, all my friends and the two rows behind me were staring at me.

"Did BallaKu just ask for your name?" Ha-Rin flipped and placed her drink down for once.
"Did you just give him your name?" Cho held her face and smiled like crazy.
"Did that just happen?" Ae-Cha rested her head on her hand.
