His Drumming Heartbeat

Rehearsals

A couple of weeks go by and reaching sometime towards the middle of May, Midoriya confirmed the news after his phone call with Sirens' manager, Louise Jassen, added them onto the bill. All of them couldn't believe how something in silverish font would look terrific, too. Deep Dope, according to Jassen herself and the other promoters for the festival, is set to perform on the first day of said festival, giving them the whole next day to stick around for the second day. However, Jiro and Tokoyami are already planning on staying for the second day. Since a lot of their favorite bands will perform right then, making them excited for such a fantastic day to occur. Both of them can hardly wait to play the same stages as some of the artists they listened to for hours on end in their bedrooms or practiced their songs on their beloved instruments.

Kaminari and Yazoryouzo are excited themselves, for they are quite interested in the sightseeing they'll do while there. Everyone plans to head out a day or two early so they can enjoy themselves, relax, and catch up on some sleep they might lost on the very long plane ride. Nevertheless, that's the part of the trip everyone seems to be dreading the most. For they prefer they can have another form of travel to make this go a lot quicker, but plane rides are cheaper this time around. Everyone in the band stopped their complaining when Midoriya revealed how much the cost is to send their equipment overseas. He didn't give out a specific amount exactly, but he said he's going to have to work an excessive amount to pay off that loan he made, all for this trip to happen.

Currently, sometime in the afternoon, the band is borrowing Jiro's parents' garage for the time being for rehearsals until they can have enough money to rent out a different place. They're only doing it this way because no one has the room at their homes for all living in small apartments. Plus, Kaminari's parents are out of town, Bakugo doesn't want his parents to embarrass him like the last time, and Midoriya's mom has no garage and lives in the same apartment everyone remembers. However, they could use Tokoyami's parents' garage and Yazoryouzo's too, but everyone has simultaneously agreed his parents kind of freak everyone else out. While in contrast, her parents are not a fan of the kind of music they play, for they are more fans of the more classical, softer side of music.

"No, dunce face," Bakugo snarls at Kaminari, "you're playing the wrong note!"

"There's no way in hell I am," Kaminari fires back. He looks over at Jiro, standing there watching the two blond men argue over this yet again. "Tell him I'm right, Jiro!"

"He's not wrong," Jiro bluntly states, "it's in E, not F, which you were playing those few chords in."

Standing there dumbfounded, Kaminari goes back and forth from looking at Jiro, who shrugs at him, while Bakugo crosses his arms while holding his drumsticks, and gives off a smirk that says: "fuck yeah, you know I'm right." Kaminari rolls his eyes at the overwhelming mass of pride the ash-blond male still has inside him, for he hasn't altered that part of his personality following high school.

Though, what the rest of the band and Midoriya doesn't know whatsoever, Kaminari has almost slipped up a few times about the details concerning Kirishima's actual whereabouts and why he left Bakugo for starters. Virtually as his intuitive impulses, mentioning the redhead would either earn his a kick in the teeth or a tactless remark and then a kick in the teeth by the ash-blond male. He's learned from past experiences not to mess with Bakugo about sensitive topics such as someone he cares about, but knocking him off of his high horse is nearly something willingly enjoyable until he gets hurt, that is.

"How long until this festival," Sero asked Midoryia as they both sit somewhere they won't cause a disturbance to the others practicing.

Midoriya opens up the calendar app on his phone, where he has the date set for this upcoming festival planned out already and marked as 'important.' He reads over the information and gives his response, "approximately three months from now," he says, looking at Sero with a small smile composed across his face. Midoriya's phone gets a text message notification from none other than Louise, a heartfelt message from the woman asking how he's doing and making sure he's doing okay. Sero notices it immediately, and his curiosity grew immensely.
