A/N

Hello my first time readers and possibly curious people! Nepzd here and I'm bringing to the FF community something not that common (or maybe even a first, haven't checked). Yes it's a 5pb. x OC fanfic. As much as I love the usual 5pb. x Cave pair, there's something about 5pb. that's so shippable. I occasionally add my own quips and quirks in there, just for comic relief and a bit of 4th wall break. That's just me though. Occasional swearing and bad words, I labeled the fic M just in case it develops to something more. Anyway, I'll try to update at least once every two or so days but I'm not making any promises. And with that out of the way, here's the disclaimer. Then the fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything bout HDN or Compile Heart or Idea Factory or even Steam. Maaaaaaybe a few waifus, but nothing else. What? Expected something else?

It was well known that 5pb. has a lot of fans. Being an idol isn't easy, especially with her popularity and caliber. She might even rival the popularity of the CPUs themselves, but we won't go that far. Anyway back at our favorite idol, 5pb., or Lyrica, is currently resting in the green room after her latest concert in Leanbox. Dedicated fans are still outside, but with her trusty bodyguard and close friend Cave, they won't even lay a finger on her nor even see her.

Alone and bored, Lyrica decides to pick up her favorite guitar and plays a few of her songs with occasional chugs of Doc P. As much as she uses her blue on-stage guitar, hand crafted by Leanbox's finest, her personal favorite is a Res Paul which she grew up with. It was her first guitar, bought by her parents on her 15th birthday and she loved it dearly. To the point where she got extremely furious when the stage-hand forgot to bring it in her last concert, saying after that one guitar is probably enough. The usually outspoken and ridiculously shy Lyrica snapped, and I tell you, it was not pretty. Shaking off these thoughts, Lyrica drowns in the music.

Meanwhile, in a corridor not too far away was a lost young man. He was about the same age as Lyrica (for plot convenience), wore a simple blue and white checkered poloshirt and black pants. Slightly spiky hair, but clean cut which didn't look messy nor crazy at the same time. Yes, he is your typical Honor Student Fan A who is secretly a fan of idols (sue me I didn't have time to make a proper character design). Running around desperately looking for the bathroom, because water and Doc P doesn't mix very well in your bladder. Finally spotting the sign to the bathroom, a big sigh of relief leaves his lips.

How long was I looking for this place anyway? Ah screw it I need to piss…

Lyrica was so immersed in her playing that she didn't even notice how many cans she drank. Now with incredible plot convenience, she rushes out to the bathroom. Good thing the bathroom so happens to be a few doors away; she runs towards redemption. And in that epic moment, our young man exits the bathroom with a satisfied face and as fate should be blamed here, they bumped into each other (hence the chapter title). With a large "oomph" from both parties, Lyrica immediately spoke up "O-oh gosh I'm sorry! I should have been more careful." She stood up and bowed politely, and rushed to the women's bathroom next door leaving a confused and awestruck man.

H-holy shit was that… I-it was! Its 5pb.! Goddamn it sure is my lucky day coming here. Wait till I tell my friends… Oh wait I don't have any. Eh who needs em anyway. Traitors all the same.

Yes. This man is also antisocial. Typical negative introvert nature. Too stunned and too caught up in his thoughts not to mention still sitting down, Lyrica exits the bathroom with a satisfied face similar to a few lines ago. She notices the young man still sitting down, a worried expression now replaces. "Are you okay sir?" Snapping back to reality, the young man faces her idol, face full of awe and sheer happiness. "W-well, for one I'm perfectly fine. But, you're 5pb. right? Am I hallucinating?" Giggling a bit, Lyrica replied "Well yes I am 5pb. and you are not hallucinating." The young man's face became filled with all sorts of happy expressions, and as he was about to speak up, he fainted (deal with it bro, I've experienced it before. Don't judge) leaving a surprised as F Lyrica and an unconscious fan.

Slowly opening his eyes, a bright light enters through his eyelids. He immediately shot up the couch simultaneously screaming indescribable words which in turn made another girlish scream from somewhere else in the room. A red-headed woman immediately bonked his head lightly to calm him down. Rubbing his head, he finally speaks up. "Ugh… Where the hell am I?" The redhead immediately answered "You're in the green room. You passed out in the hallway and 5pb. came running to me asking for help." Lyrica rushes to the young man's side and asked "Are you alright? Cave he's gonna be fine right?" Cave replies in a reassuring tone "He just passed out because of shock. He's gonna be fine." Lyrica lets out a sigh of relief, immediately telling the still awestruck man "Phew, I thought you were a goner. Anyway, are you sure you're fine?" The young man (seriously this term is getting tiring and repetitive) replies "I-I think I'm okay. Just a little starstruck you know? Hahaha…." "That's good to hear at least. Anyway, I'm 5pb. but you probably already know me, and that's my friend Cave." Lyrica points to her buddy Cave "Hello there." The young man replies "I'm Theo. I-it's an absolute honor to speak with the both of you, especially with my situation and position" Lyrica waves off his statement, saying "No need for formalities really. I'm just glad to see you awake."

A heartwarming smile shows on Lyrica's face, and both Cave and Theo blushes over the sight. Theo almost would have fainted if it wasn't his phone ringing (with ringtone set to 5pb.'s songs of course). He checks the message, and told them "Well, I shouldn't really overstay my welcome here. I need to go." Cave replies "I shall accompany you outside, so you won't get lost. This is a big establishment so a little help might be needed." He waves his hands frantically replying "N-no you shouldn't bother. I can manage myself from here on. I've already imposed so much on you" This time Lyrica spoke up "Are you sure you can manage your own?" "I-I'm pretty sure I can handle myself. A-anyway, I should be off. BYE!" He dashes off the room leaving a confused Lyrica and Cave to themselves.

"Theo you big idiot. Why'd you leave an opportunity like that…" Theo mumbles to himself as he desperately looks for the exit. Though the message was really just spam, he couldn't survive being in a room with 5pb. much more with two women. His inexperience to talking to girls and overall introvert senses took over him during that moment, and like a blue hedgehog native to Planeptune he rushes out the door. And just like that he missed his opportunity to get close to her idol and her best friend. It was supposed to be his ticket out of the loner society, but I guess this is how things go. Shaking off his thoughts, he focused on the more important task at hand, finding the exit.

Cave rubbed her temples with her fingers in frustration, softly scolding Lyrica for getting "too close" with one of the fans. Lyrica couldn't just leave a helpless, out-cold Theo lying on the floor, that was understandable. But actually forcing Cave to let him stay in the green room, a room off limits to anyone else other than the two of them, to recover? It was a security nightmare for Cave, being her bodyguard. The clinic was too far for both of them to carry, so Lyrica voiced out that he should stay in her room since it was closer. "Look Lyrica, I know you're worried about the boy, but he shouldn't even have the clearance to get anywhere near here. There are other bathrooms around the building and he so happens to be here. What if he was dangerous?" "I-I couldn't just leave him Cave and you know it. He was in trouble and I wanted to help." Cave let out a defeated sigh, and replied "Okay I'll let this one slide for now. Just don't do this again next time okay? I worry for you. It's my job." The idol let out a sigh of relief. Guess that was the last time they'll meet. She was hoping to at least become friends with him… Oh well.

Aaaaaand were done! I'm not exactly thrilled to see this work, since it was a bit rushed, so it isn't that good of a quality. I'll definitely do better next time, and if the reviews are good, then I'd definitely update sooner. Sorry if it's a bit short, was writing at 2 am in the morning and it's cold as F. Anyway, leave a review, drop a fav, even follow me if you feel like it. Thanks for reading, see you in the next update!
