His Drumming Heartbeat

🎇 Second Days 🎇

As the first day drew to a close, the second one started early in the morning. Everyone's tired from last night's wild shows and adventures, but eagerly wait for what tonight is supposed to bring. Speculation spreads throughout the site about what surprises are in store, but not a single person could be accurate. All of last night's performers are staying for tonight's show, knowing tonight's acts didn't have to wait and watch their sets, but they're doing it out of respect. Words can't describe the nerves bubbling up inside some performers, for this is their first major festival.

"What hairstyle should we do for you," Indigo pondered, messing with Kirishima's locks.

However, for Kirishima, he's on the bus with the band members of Sirens, their manager, and Indigo's son, Austin. He's sleeping on one of the couches with one of his blankets before his mom's performance. A couple of people of Indigo's family are supposed to watch over Austin from backstage to watch the band play and watch over the little kid. For the rest of the band members, their families either live elsewhere in the US or live in another country located across the Atlantic Ocean. They all say being away from family is the most challenging part about being out on the road, but the memories they were able to make almost change everything.

"I'd say a fishtail braid," Louise suggested, combing through her short blonde locks.

"Nah, do a ponytail braid," Lynnette indicates, applying mascara in the bathroom mirror, "and some eyeliner making his red eyes POP."

"A full bun would be cool though given the excruciating heat outside," Bella recommends, holding her red lipstick, "but I'm against the eyeliner. I doubt any of us brought the waterproof stuff."

"I'd say a half-bun. Shows off the bun but also shows off the beautiful locks Kirishima has," Persephone implied, now messing with Kirishima's hair.

"I can't believe you guys are thinking about doing my hair," Kirishima laughs, "why not keep it how it normally is?"

"Definitely not," they all said in unison.

"I guess I have no say, huh," Kirishima awkwardly chuckled to himself.

"Yeah, you're outnumbered," Lynnette said, walking out of the bathroom.

Both Lynnette and Louise stand next to each other, pondering what hairstyle would fit their friend; however, no one knows what to go with exactly, for they are all excellent choices. "I'm pretty sure he'd look good with anything," Louise commented.

"I wouldn't go that far," Lynnette remarks, "that's almost saying you'd look great with dark hair, but your complexion won't allow it."

"Ooh, shots fired," Persephone joked, making everyone chuckle at her comment.

"You know," Kirishima begins, "I'm gonna miss you guys when all of this is over–"

Indigo yanks Kirishima's hair with brute force but not enough to pull some strands of his hair out. "Ow, what was that for," Kirishima shrieked, trying not to wake Austin up.

Bella and Louise look at the redhead confused, while Persephone has her one arm out in front of her to stop Lynnette from knocking some sense into him. The bus was silent, but it didn't take Kirishima too long to realize what he said that made the girls react the way they did just now. Once his career takes off, the redhead will see them, but not as often as of now, and that's why he made that comment. They all will continue to message each other how things are going between them and what exciting plans they have coming soon, but it doesn't mean the adventure they will continue to have will stop at someplace earlier than expected.

"I didn't mean anything negative, you know," Kirishima awkwardly stated.

"We know," Indigo confirms, "but also remember you're under our wing until you're able to soar on your own."
