spray painted stars - akikasa

chapter 13

The outfit sat hung up on his closet handles for three days, a stark contrast to Tsukasa's bright and colorful room. Everytime he looked at it, he was reminded of Wednesday and their afternoon spent together, and a smile grew on his face. Now that it was finally time for him to wear it, he was nervous to see what Saki and his parents would say. He shook off the feeling of self consciousness, he knew he would look fine in it, Akito was the one that picked it out afterall!

He ran down the stairs excitedly, boots and phone in hand, he could hear Saki talking with their mother faintly. He kneeled by the hallway to the front door, putting on his boots. "I'm leaving for Toya's show now! I'll probably be back around 8 o'clock!" He stood up, his hands on his hips as he saw his sister and mother look over at him. Saki gasped and immediately stood up, stars in her eyes.

"Tsukasa! Where did you get that?! It looks amazing!" She ran over to him, grabbing the straps on the jacket.

Tsukasa chuckled proudly, "My dear junior, Akito bought it for me! It's not like what I usually wear, but everyone at the live house wears this style, so I wanted to fit in. I like it, though!" He grinned and his mother smiled back at him.

"I think it looks nice on you, dear. Have fun at the performance!" She and Saki waved at Tsukasa, who waved back and left the house, pulling up the text Akito sent him of the location and virtual ticket. It was still light out, thankfully, but walking home is going to be a different story. If only it wasn't on the other side of town! He considered taking a bus, and shrugged, making up his mind as he sat down on the closest bus stop. It can take him to the center of the town and he can walk the rest of the way, it will be easier for him that way.

As he waited, he researched more about the show, such as who else was playing and the list of songs they were playing. He grinned when he saw 'Vivid BAD SQUAD' in bright colors at the top, and he zoomed in and scrolled to look at the names of the songs. Two of them he recognized, to his own surprise, they were songs that he remembers both Akito and Toya mentioning to him. The last song confused him, however, because it was highlighted and had an asterisk next to it. He assumed this was the song Akito was talking about staying up late working on, and he felt a rush of excitement as the bus pulled up.

He stepped on and paid the bus driver, thankful for the warm air in the bus. He sat down and continued looking through the flyers for other days that were posted on the website, hoping that he would be able to get a paper flier for today's show. Tsukasa bit his lip, he debated on texting Akito to see how things were going, but he didn't want to bother the other boy. Maybe he'll just send one text...

'Kasa: Hey Akito!!! I'm on my way! ^_^ Excited to see all of you guys tonight!!

He didn't expect a response from the ginger, but that was fine. He was surprised to see the little three dots pop up after a minute or two, shouldn't Akito be setting up?

'Kito: cool

'Kito: we're warming up rn but i can take a break

'Kito: im excited to see toya and kohanes reaction to ur fit lol

Tsukasa smiled, looking down at his outfit, the jacket zipped up halfway and hanging off his shoulders like Akito told him to. He was also excited to see their reactions, Toya has never seen him wearing dark colors like this, he's always wearing something bright.

'Kasa: Me too! He's never seen me in something so dull and dark before 0_0 I'm always wearing bright colors!

'Kito: lmao yeah ur right

'Kito: but it fits you imo

'Kito: i like it i think you should wear it more often
