Hot Damn
The whole place was packed, but it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to see so many people fans of the bands performing at night at this specific concert. From the looks of them a majority of the fans were young teenage girls with a band with a logo of the Demonic Soldiers, an alternative rock band. The rest were guys and older teens covered in tats and wearing merchandise of a heavy metal rock band called Blood Lustful Addiction.
Yuuichirou let out a shaking sigh. His palms were sweating in anticipation and nervousness to perform. He was the lead vocalist for Demonic Soldiers. Deep within his mind he was doing imaginary flips in an overload of joy and accomplishment that his band had made it this far. Demonic Soldiers was fairly new when compared to these performing bands which he really didn’t know much. He would probably get slapped by a large group of fans if he ever admitted that he has never heard of Blood Lustful Addiction.
The young man about the age of twenty scanned the crowd, a small smile forming on his lips. Tonight was the night his band actually did an opening act for a concert, the beginning for this tour all across America along with the other performing bands and more that are to come. This was such a great opportunity given to his band by those that sponsored the tour. It was a lifelong dream finally complete.
“Yuu-san!” A female voice spoke up. Yuuichirou turned to face a young short woman with long purple dyed hair. “Should I let my hair down, or keep it up like usual?”
Yuuichirou walked up to his fellow band member and smiled, brushing her hair behind her ear, “You’ll look beautiful either way Shinoa” he softly said.
“That’s so sweet of you to say” Shinoa giggled as she stood up on her toes to kiss Yuuichirou’s cheek, “Anyways let’s go get prepared, we’re on in ten”
“Alright”
The two went to meet up with the rest of the band, getting their instruments ready and doing a bit of practicing to make sure they remembered the two songs they were to play as an opening act. They had to begin the concert with a huge bang, well at least have the crowd screaming for the other performers since again this was their first time.
“Do you think we’ll be able to pull this off?” Their lead guitarist asked with a smile spread across his face. His name was Yoichi and he was the most innocent, adorable one in the band and he is the freaking lead guitarist like a boss. “We may have a lot of fans, but it seems like they all came mostly for Blood Lustful Addiction”
“Honestly it doesn’t matter if they came here for that band, as long as we perform that’s all that matters right?” The tallest member, Shihou, stated with a bright smile as well. “Well manage to knock most of their socks off!”
“Totally, but I heard that band is bad news” Mistuba, the blonde and the rhythm guitarists spoke up, “They said that today was the day the lead singer would actually reveal himself!”
“Wait you mean no one knows how the lead singer looks like?!” Yuuichirou asked, “That’s bullshit!”
“Nope it’s the truth. I remember reading that he really doesn’t talk to the band either… which is strange. He does tend to cover his face, actually everything basically…” Mistuba let out a sigh and plucked the strings of her guitar lightly, “I’m honestly curious though, hopefully he does show his face. Some say he’s actually ugly which is why he has been hiding! Others say his face is just burned!”
Shinoa chuckled, “Who knows maybe he’s a babe~ better than Yuu-san”
“O-Oi!” Yuuichirou stammered, as his cheeks turned pink, “I can’t believe my girlfriend thinks someone looks better than me…how rude”
“Just because we’re together don’t mean I'm going stop comparing you to other dudes”
Yuuichirou pouted, “I hope that guy is ugly then”
“I hope he’s hot so your dreams can be crushed” Shinoa giggled.
Ten minutes were already up and the Demonic Soldiers band quickly got into position at the stage that was pitch black. No lights were turned on just yet, just to keep the fans in suspense at how the performance might be. The beat slowly started, Yoichi began playing his guitar at a slow pace with Shinoa adding to the beat like any drummer would.
The fans started cheering and chanting as they knew well this was the music style of Demonic Soldiers. They were done waiting to see the lead singer, to watch those beautiful green eyes, fair skin, and hear his sweet voice. They got what they asked for when the whole band began to play and the lights suddenly turned on, there Yuuichirou stood at center.
With the mic in hand he walked forward, taking a deep breath before singing with all his heart the song that he had created with his lovely girlfriend Shinoa. It was a love song, one that was inspired from their chemistry and experiences they had throughout their teen years to appeal to their young fans. They knew this song in a way related to everyone, one way or another.
“They’re good” A man spoke up with silver hair, watching the band from backstage. He let out chuckle as he turned to face the other members of the band he was a part of. “It’s adorable how they think they could start off with a bang”
“Let them be Ferid, they’re new, we were like that before” The only female in the band muttered, her long pink hair was done in a high ponytail. She began to tune her guitar, her red eyes looking over to the figure near them, covered up entirely in a black robe, concealing his whole appearance. “Are you seriously going out like that…?”
The figure merely nodded and walked away, the long robe flowing behind him like if he were a villain of some sort. The woman, Krul let out a sigh and stared at the other members, most likely the one with bluish-purple hair, “Lacus can you make sure he has his red contacts on, he trusts you the most”
“He has them on already” Lacus sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, fixing it up for now as they wouldn’t be performing until a few hours. “He better reveal the way he actually looks and stay that way”
“Mm, true, it’s getting annoying” Another spoke up, clicking his tongue as he emerged from the shadows. He had his hair down in a braid and he had red dyed bangs. “You have such a strange brother Krul, why don’t you do something about it?”
Krul rolled her eyes, “He’s been that way ever since we adopted him. I can’t simply do anything about the way he acts alright, just make sure your guitar is in check Crowley”
“You got it boss”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The concert was overall great, Demonic Soldiers had managed to get the crowd hyped for the other bands and they couldn’t feel more proud of themselves. Yuuichirou was enjoying all the other performances backstage, taking notes on how they got the crowd to sing along with them and just practically screaming. Everyone was screaming, singing along to the point that the lead singers would get lazy and have their fans sing the chorus for them.
Now that all the bands went up, it was time for…Blood Lustful Addiction. The lights were off like in the beginning, the crowd was in silence as they managed to catch a glimpse of the members walking in, their eyes remaining glued to the figure standing at center, holding something, a guitar most likely.
Yuuichirou was honestly curious about who this guy was, the mystery revolving around his looks suddenly just caught his attention. Maybe he was ugly or maybe he did have burn scars on his face.
Out of nowhere the lead singer began playing the guitar at a fast pace, Yuuichirou took notice the way those long fingers shifted to every note that it was hard to keep track. The drummer slammed the drumsticks against the symbols to the point it sounded like he was about to break them just to let out a crash effect. The whole band began to play and the lights flashed on, almost blinding and the crowd was silent for just one second before they screamed at the top of their lungs.
Yuuichirou’s eyes widened at as the lead singer removed the hood that was concealing his face, revealing his wavy blonde shoulder length locks, his pale smooth skin, and red gleaming eyes. “Holy fucking shit he’s hot!” Both Shinoa and Mitsuba gasped right behind Yuuichirou.
For a guy looking so gorgeous one would think he was from some boy band, but the way his voice sounded as he sang was just shocking, it was so deep with a lingering growl following that could seduce anyone. “No fucking way…” Yuuchirou whispered, expecting for the guy to be something worse, but he was taken aback by the man’s appearance…Man was he hot!
When the blonde haired lead singer glanced backstage for one moment, their eyes met for a brief moment. That’s when Yuuichirou’s green eyes widened. The blonde hair, the familiar look of his face, and the shape of those eyes…it couldn’t be… “MIKA!?”
At that moment the blonde singer glanced back again, almost messing up the beat and was about to stop singing entirely when he took notice of who that man was. Krul took the time to do her solo as Mikaela became distracted by the raven haired man and mouthed out, Yuu-chan…
None the less, the show continued on, capturing the hearts of the crowd and the other bands. Blood Lustful Addiction’s performance just dominated the entire concert and there was no denying it since it was all because they now knew how the lead singer, Mikaela Shindo, looked like.
