Stand by Him | Sodo

The 23rd concert had been played tomorrow... now today, it was the last one of the tour. It was exciting but kinda sad at the same time, knowing that this was the last concert in who knows how long.

We were currently on the tour bus, every one of us doing our own things as we were heading towards the final venue in which we would play this year. I sat alone, watching the cars passing by out the window, lost in my own thoughts until...

« Hey, Neptune! » Phantom's voice rang through my ears.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Phantom, smiling. « Hi! » I told him.

He sat down next to me and glanced outside the window as well before looking back at me.
« You know, just yesterday, I still thought that Sodo hated my guts, but he said something nice to me today! » Phantom said, seeming happy about it.

« He did? Well, that's good for you! Maybe you guys can become friends eventually. » I said.

Honestly, I never expected Sodo and Phantom to get along either. It took longer than we originally thought for Sodo to get used to having Phantom in the band after he took Aether's place. It was good to hear that he was finally warming up to him... well, still at a slow pace, but at least Sodo could tolerate Phantom.

« I don't know about him, but I always thought that maybe we'd make good friends. Do you think he thinks the same, too? » He asked, leaning back in the seat.

I shrugged. « It's kinda hard to know what Sodo thinks all the time, but I'd say he eventually would think the same if he doesn't already. » I said.

After all, Phantom's personality wasn't all that different compared to Aether's... I understood that Sodo was angry that he took his best friend's place, but still, he had to get over it. Besides, if he'd actually interact with Phantom, they'd make a good duo.

Talking about Sodo, I saw him walking towards me and Phantom, having a playful smirk on his face that was only seen on his face when he teased people.

« Alright, doofus, my turn to speak with the beautiful lady. » He told Phantom with that same smirk as he sat right in front of him, taking up every space left between me and Phantom.

Phantom laughed. « Dang it. » He said playfully, standing up and going to talk with the others.

Sodo put his arm around my shoulder and smiled at me. « Last concert already, eh? » He told me. « Did you like touring with us? » Sodo asked.

I smiled back at him. « Absolutely. It's definitely something I'll remember for my whole life. » I told him.

« I'm glad. I hope every future tour will feel the same for you. » He said, kissing my cheek.

I did hope the same thing as well...

(Hell yeah, I got motivation today 💪💪)
