It's half past midnight in Egypt rn, we got to the hotel about an hour ago. It's 22:30 in England tho so this chapter is still 7 hours late 😭 sorry guys I didn't have signal 🫶

🗡️🗡️🗡️

"We look hot!" Kaminari cheered as the band met up backstage. He was the most excited about the outfits Aeri had chosen for them, claiming he'd always wanted to dress this way but didn't know how to go about it.

"It's not the usual style I go for...does it look okay?" Momo peered down at her red dress with a shy frown.

"You look amazing, Yaomomo," Jirou reassured her taller friend, a slight blush coating her cheeks.

"Thank you, Kyoka." Momo smiled, flushing red. Aeri and Jungwon gave each other a look, catching on immediately. They definitely liked each other. Aeri gave them one last glance before she went back to finishing off Jungwon's eye makeup—a smoky eyeliner look that he requested so he could live out his rockstar fantasy.

Since Aeri and Jungwon already owned a lot of clothes that fit the theme that Jirou set for them, they didn't order an outfit for themselves, instead choosing to pick something from their closets. Jungwon wore a fitted fishnet t-shirt that exposed his muscled torso, a leather jacket and leather trousers, finished off with the same Prada combat boots Aeri bought for Bakugou.

Aeri wore a classier leather blazer and leather miniskirt with a red lace corset top to match Momo's dress and Kaminari's red leather jacket since the other three were wearing all black. She wore her knee-high Naked Wolfe boots to finish off the look.

Bakugou stomped in a moment later with his usual scowl, wearing a black, short-sleeved plunge v-neck dress shirt that exposed part of his chest, the gold chain that Aeri bought him, black slacks and the Prada boots she'd gifted him that morning. His fingers were decorated with gold rings that matched his chain.

"Me next." He said to Aeri who was wiping up the eyeshadow fallout from Jungwon's cheeks. She looked at her boyfriend and smiled, motioning for Jungwon to stand and Bakugou to sit. She nudged his thighs further apart so she could stand between them and grabbed her iPad from where it rested on top of one of the amps.

'What would you like, babe?'

"Eyeliner. Like your brother's but less dramatic." He replied, his voice low as he rested a hand on the back of her bare thigh. Aeri nodded, picked up her eyeliner pencil and tilted his head up by his chin. She began to gently apply his makeup, smudging it out to give it a smoky look. She patted his cheek when she was done and his eyes fluttered open.

Aeri almost blushed when he peered up at her with those gorgeous vermillion eyes that only looked prettier with the black liner enhancing them and she had to tear her gaze away, instead grabbing a handheld mirror so he could see what he looked like. Bakugou nodded appreciatively and Aeri moved backwards so he could stand up.

"Bakugou is so different around Aeri," Kaminari whispered to Jirou. "He's nicer and he doesn't swear so much." Jirou nodded in agreement as the rest of the band watched them interact. Bakugou sent them a nasty glare as he stood up. Clearly, Kaminari wasn't as good at whispering as he thought.

"Kiri! How long until people start coming in?" Jungwon called as he began to help Jirou and Aeri take the instruments onto the stage.

"I think they're opening the door in half an hour!" Kirishima shouted back, donning the 'technical team' jacket the twins had made for those not performing on stage, not wanting them to feel left out. Jungwon shouted back his thanks and began teleporting the guitars and drums onto the main stage.
