His Drumming Heartbeat

🎇 Surprises 🎇

If there's one way to describe the energy the audience has bouncing off of them, it would be shocked. The amount pouring out of them like currents of electricity seems too unreal to a lot of people. They're seeing the same woman who left due to personal reasons, not even wondering if she's supposed to return soon after everything. But, everyone seeing her onstage, solidified she won't get taken down so quickly. Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, she came back to concur and prove she's more robust than ever.

"It feels great to be back here after everything that's happened these last few years," Louise begins to explain into the microphone. "The undying amount of support I received from all of you guys warmed my heart. I can't thank you all enough, and I can't thank these wonderful ladies behind me for keeping me sane throughout all of it." She looks behind her to see her bandmates.

"However," she continues, "there's this one person who I became friends with during the time I was trying to recover from everything. He's been nothing but a rock to lean on and a shoulder to cry on when things got tough. Coincidentally, he has a charming voice I've grown to admire, and featured on a brand new song we're debuting tonight!" The crowd cheers loudly, and Louise smiles, watching their excitement. "So, Kirishima, come to the stage, please?"

Kirishima greets Louise by giving her a big hug, and the band starts playing the song after Louise says, "this is "Heaven's A Lie.""

A/N: Play song now.

Bakugo's world completely stopped, almost like time for him did, too the second everything processed. It's him. The same man who left him out in the dust wondering what the hell he did wrong to lose the one person he loved. The same person, the ash-blond male, vowed to enjoy every last second of his life with him. His heart sinking to the deepest depths of his chest, he stands there and watches the redhead standing next to the platinum-blonde woman on the center stage.

Kirishima wears a black leather jacket, a white v-neck t-shirt underneath, dark-washed denim jeans with a few holes, and a pair of black lace-up boots. His hair pulled back in a half-bun, and there's no denying he looks as handsome as ever. His smile takes Bakugo's breath away instantly like it always does. All surrounding extras fade from his vision, his eyes stare down one specific person with nothing but hurt and disbelief.

'Oh, no, here it is again.

I need to know when I'll fall into decay.

Something wrong with every plan of my life

I didn't really notice that you've been here.'

There are two other lines Louise sang, but when Kirishima's part came up, it was what everyone was anxious about, for no one knew what he indeed sounded. Only two bands knew: the one performing with him, and the one in the front row watching this.

'Set me free, your heaven's a lie.

Set me free with your love, set me free, yeah.'

Everyone was so surprised by how good Kirishima sounded, some even wondering why this guy has been so under the radar. Praising his talent, his looks, and also though this is his first time on stage, they can't help but admire the stage presence he gives. He's so attentive with his surroundings, even taking a few glances at Louise when she starts humming.

"Why is he here? No, he's supposed to be back in Japan, not here of all places," Bakugo thought to himself. To him, none of this makes any sense, the same thoughts running through his mind, fogging up everything around him. He stands there in a daze, wondering why Kirishima is with a woman, let alone all of these women. He starts putting the pieces together, wondering if it was Kirishima who got them to America, who got them to perform at a festival despite the fact they're completely unknown, and if that's the reason why their drummer has one of their patches on her denim jacket.
