“Man you were fucking fantastic!!! The way you strumming those bass and…” Chatters Baji away endlessly since the practice ended, Akashi don’t even respond anymore tired of Baji’s never ending praise. “Shut it Baji” Replies Sanzu who’s tired too hearing Baji’s excessive praising
“What? Are you Jealous?” Baji respondes with an annoyed tone “The fuck, you wanna start a fight here asshole?” Oh dear, here again comes another bickering from the two of them. Honestly, Akashi really need a fucking break from them today but they are here to do business, he can’t leave now.
“Calm the fuck down, the band is making an entrance now” Akashi finally opens up his mouth, when a band called black dragons or something eh, they don’t really pay any attention to it. Instead, the one they pay attention to is their guitarist. Let’s hope he is everything Sanzu had hoped for.
“Damn, he got the looks!” Sanzu is now excited, Akashi just smirks back nodding along with him. “Let’s see if his looks is as good as his playing” Contrast to what he is saying right now, Baji’s face is actually brimming with anticipation. He even grins, showing his two teeth with fangs. The music starts then and they are actually enjoying the performance. When the performance ended, let’s just say they are blown away.
“That was fucking rad! Especially the guitarist! He carried the band tonight, what’s his name again?!” Baji’s excitement goes through the roof, he can’t wait to be in a band with a man like this. Just wait when you meet him Baji, hope that excitement doesn’t melt away. Akashi just chuckles and is looking at Sanzu now who’s dead silent but you can clearly see the glimmer on his eyes.
“Kokonoi Hajime, what do you think about him Sanzu?” “He got the looks, he got the skill too! Man, we have to get him!” Yells Sanzu with the same level of excitement as Baji, but of course Sanzu has another commentary to make “The vocalist is fucking awful tho, I’m far better than him” Smug look appears on his face.
Baji really wants to reply something back but he has to agree with Sanzu this time “Hate to admit, but you are right. That Madarame guy may has the stage name, but his vocals is not it” “When was I never right?” Sanzu retorts cockily, then another arguments happen again and again, not an unusual scene for Akashi anymore even though he has been only with them one day.
“So are we keep going to talk about this here or we are going to really talk to him?” Akashi again breaking their arguments, he is really tired of the two of them non stop bickering. “Oh yeah almost forgot about it, where’s our guy?” Sanzu is looking around, not spotting the guitarist. “Isn’t that him?” Baji points finger to a man on the bar, women are lingering all over him.
“That’s our guy, let’s make our move” Commands Akashi and then they make their way there approaching the ever eccentric guitarist. “Kokonoi Hajime?” Calls out Sanzu, making eye contact with the said man. “Yeah and who might you be?” Replies Kokonoi, looking up to meet Sanzu’s eyes. “We got a business offer for you, care to join us?” Smirks Sanzu then a mischievous glint appears on Kokonoi eyes, safe to say he is intrigued now.
“Okay then follow me, later ladies I will be right back” Kokonoi then gets up from his wink leaving the bar to a more secluded seat but of course after he gives wink that made all of his ladies swooned. When they take their seats on the seat Kokonoi leads them to, the talk begins.
“That is some performance you put there man!” Baji says, starting this with a praise. “I know” Kokonoi just scoffs, snapping his neck cockily. The excitement Baji’s had before is miles gone now. “He got a nasty attitude huh?” Whispers Baji to Akashi where he only replies with “I already told you”
“Let’s cut this short, we want you to be our guitarist” Sanzu offers Kokonoi offers immediately right at the bat, without any little talks like Baji. Kokonoi a bit startled, but can’t say he is disliking this kind of attitude. “Why should I join your band?” “Because we are going to be-“ Before Baji can says something more, Kokonoi cuts him off, getting straight to the chase.
“Before you start saying anything about your ambition, let me get this straight. I don’t care, I’m in a band just to get laid” Can’t say the others are shocked, they have seen the way Kokonoi behaves with those women before at the bar. But with the way the sentence rolls off his tongue easily, he is really something, isn’t he?
Sanzu’s smile is getting wider, you can tell he already likes this guy. “Well we have a show at Santa Monica in two weeks” Okay, now this is the real shocker. The rest of them don’t even know it. “THE FUCK? YOU NEVER TELL US?? ME???” This is Baji yelling loudly, making a few heads turn to their tables.
“Well I’m on this band just yesterday so, eh” Akashi just shrugs it off, but clearly Baji is bothered by it. “I forgot to, I just accepted it last night” Says Sanzu nonchalantly, like he has no sin at all “Still-“ then again Baji gets cut off again by Kokonoi “And? What about it?” “Don’t you understand? New city, new girls to fuck” Sanzu says with a wide smirk which Kokonoi replied with the same wide smirk.
“Okay then, I’m in” With that Kokonoi agrees, shaking hands with Sanzu making the deal official. “That easily???” Says Baji a bit confused “Welcome to the band man, don’t forget to come to the studio by nine tomorrow” Akashi is ignoring Baji’s comment, he welcomes Kokonoi with a hand shake too.
“Will do, thanks Akashi” Replies Kokonoi, returning the hand shake “Am I the only one who’s still in disbelief?!” Then that’s Baji ending this evening with a kinda comical reaction.
