Caged Bird - BNHA Band AU

[60]

-Feel free to listen to the music while you read-

"Places, places everybody!" Izuku's head shot up, looking back at their manager who'd appeared out of literally nowhere. "Is it already our go?" He asked, his tone filled with anxiety and excitement. Seishin smiled at the boys enthusiasm, "yup, you have ten minutes to get ready, go grab the band," Izuku nodded his head, skipping deeper back stage to find the group.

"Guys! We're up next!" Izuku opened the room to find the band sitting at a table, stuffing their faces with food. Izuku stood there for a few solid seconds, simply staring at them, "guys... we have to get ready, Kirishima! Put that down, we're going up in ten minutes!" Izuku scolded, taking the chicken wing from Kirishima's hands. "Hurry up," Izuku left the room to grab his mic, it's been a few good years since they first started playing together. He missed the good old days.

"Izu! Wait up," Kaminari slung his arm around his boyfriends shoulder, the biggest smile on his face. "Why're you so tense?" He asked as he watched his boyfriend flinch, "It's just... I- I can't really explain it, I didn't actually think he'd come to one of our concerts so I just assumed that I wouldn't have to see him again, but now he's back, and with mum even, I'm just worried about what he's gonna do, we haven't seen each other in years..." Izuku sighed, running a hand down his face, getting a light slap on the hand from his boyfriend. "Ok first of all, we told you to stop doing that, you'll smudge your makeup, second, are you talking about... Hisashi?" Kaminari spat the name like venom on his tongue. The weak frown on Izuku's face confirmed Kaminari's suspicions, making his nerves skyrocket. He'd planned something big tonight, since it was their first tour around most of Japan, he and Shinso had planned hard for it. But Hisashi could ruin their whole plan.

"Don't worry Izu, Hitoshi and me'll protect you!" Kaminari grinned as Izuku's face lit up, "I'm sure you will," he smirked, nudging the electric user in the ribs playfully. "What are we talking about?" A tired voice that could only belong to the lilac haired insomniac called out from beside the two. Izuku jumped, turning to Shinso with a sheepish smile, "Hisashi..." Kaminari trailed off, glaring at the floor in thought. Shinso's mood dropped slightly, he and Kaminari hadn't thought of a plan if he'd become a problem.

"I'm sure it'll be fine Izuku, we're all right here," Shinso reassured as the rest of the group showed up, instruments already set up on stage. Izuku looked at the black curtains anxiously, he learnt to love playing music live, this wasn't any different from all of the other times. A temporary set back is all that Hisashi was. There was no need to become overly anxious over someone as insignificant as him.

"Alright everyone, get out there and blast some ass," Seishin smirked, hands on her hips like a proud mother. "Yeah, so manly!" Kirishima wiped a fake tear from his cheek as he skipped onto stage, earning a huge cheer from the large crowd outside. Todoroki shrugged, casually stepping on with Bakugo stomping from behind, the crowd only getting louder. "Just ignore him, this is exactly the same as every other performance, he doesn't deserve you," Kaminari whispered as Shinso pecked his lips quickly, the two walking through the curtain and towards their instruments with large grins.

Izuku let out a deep breath, running a hand through his neatly brushed hair, a smile found its way onto his face. "Here we go," he whispered to himself, shooting a thumbs up to Seishin and skipping onto stage. His eardrums would have burst from the noise volume if he wasn't already used to it. He gave everyone a bright smile, waving his hand in greeting. "Hey guys!" He spoke into the microphone placed carefully in the centre of the stage, "how is everyone?" He asked, his smile never faltering. There was a chorus of incoherent screeching from the crowd as Izuku looked over to the band, getting thumbs up and small nods from them, Izuku looked back out, singing into the mic as he let the words of the song carry him away.

The first song they'd ever sung, seemingly everyone of their fans favourite song, Guillotine.

As their set came to an end, Izuku had small beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He loved how the colourful blinding lights danced across the stage, fitting the rhythm to a T. He felt two hands gently grasp his shoulder, turning to face the beaming expression of Kaminari and the small smile of Shinso. The two made eye contact, Kaminari slowly lowering himself to the ground with a wobbly smile. Izuku raised an eyebrow in confusion, but gasped as the yellow haired male took out a small box.

"We've been together, all three of us, for years now," Kaminari started, "I can confidently say that you two have made me beyond happy every second I'm in your presence... I hope that we will remain together, laughing, crying, smiling, for the rest of our lives... so, Izuku Midoriya, Hitoshi Shinso, will you marry me?" Kaminari had a huge smile painted across his face as Izuku broke down into tears, nodding his head profusely as Shinso gave the green haired boy a hug. "Y-yes," Izuku muttered out through his tears as Shinso rubbed his back comfortingly. "Thank god, I'm so sorry for making you cry!" Kaminari wailed, gripping his partners into a tight hug, slipping the rings on their fingers as the crowd went ballistic.

With one last goodbye, the trio walked off the stage, the group in tow. "Shit, that never gets any less awesome!" Bakugo growled, a smile on his face as he half leaned on his two toned boyfriend. "Language!" Izuku scolded, gaining a chorus of laughs from the group. "How do you still have the energy to tell off Bakubro, he constantly swears, don't think that's gonna change anytime soon," Kirishima questioned light heartedly. Izuku shrugged, "I hope to at least stop him from swearing in literally every sentence... can't tell if it's working though," he wiped the tears from his cheeks, an ever growing smile on his face as he walked towards their room hand in hand with his partners.

"It's not-" Bakugo was cut off by the fearful look on Izuku's face. A complete opposite from a few seconds ago. "Shit!" Kaminari growled, bringing Izuku closer to him as he glared at the man that stood by their bands door. "What the fucks he doin' here," Bakugo gritted his teeth, seething in anger. The man turned his head to face the group, a scowl on his face as he stomped up to them, "what the FUCK was that!?" The man spat, grabbing Izuku's arm harshly, attempting to pull the ring from his finger.

Izuku clenched his fist, hoping to protect the piece of jewellery as he tried yanking away from his fathers grip. "What the fuck, let him go!" Shinso hissed, punching the man hard in the jaw. Shinso immediately pulled Izuku away from him, giving him to Kaminari and putting his fists up along with Bakugo and Kirishima, one hundred percent ready to break his neck. "What's going on here?" Seishin, alongside Todoroki and a few security guard, called out. She was told about Hisashi a year after the band had formed, and she wasn't too happy about seeing him around her self proclaimed brother.

"My son thinks he's fucking gay! That's what's going on here!" Hisashi growled, smoke streaming from his mouth. "Sir, I have to ask you to leave before we get the authorities involved," Seishin spat, gently dragging Izuku further away from his father. "What the fuck are they gonna do!? I'm his father, I haven't done anything illegal!" He fought back, crossing his arms over his chest with a scowl. "Oh, that was so funny I forgot how to laugh," Seishin frowned, "call the police," she whispered to Todoroki as Izuku flinched away from the mans voice.

"Sir, I'll ask you one more time before we have to resort to force, please leave," Seishin stated with a matter of fact tone, she was finding it increasingly hard not to rip the mans throat out. "I haven't done fuck all wrong!" He barked, fists clenching at his sides as small flames slithered from his mouth, his throat glowing an almost unnoticeable orange. "Alright then, security, please hold him down, try not to hurt him too much, the police are on their way," Seishin ordered, watching as Todoroki came running down the hall.

"Sir, please put your hands behind your head and get on the ground," one of the guards instructed, gaining a booming laugh from Hisashi. "You can't tell me to do shit!" He said, opening his mouth to let out a burst of steaming hot flames.

;-;...
You all have rights! I'll throw hands if one more person degrades themselves.

I'm also sorry... I didn't mean for the chapter to end like that, this was actually gonna be the last chapter, but I guess not...
I also used a time skip, which doesn't happen very often...
