A/N: Since well… I just had to write this at once… My… I make Eiji seem like such an attention whore in the beginning. Sorry about that.

And yes, Aozu will come in later, it's just that I want some background story to the entire thing and so on, and since this story mainly focuses on caps to bin (since they have the most interesting personalities (but on the other hand Aozu have my dearly beloved Oishi)). Aozu will probably make their first appearance in the next chap, or the chap after that. But they won't be getting any background story though. At least not very much.

TG, I heart you 3

Kikumaru Eiji didn't know when he got interested in music, maybe it was to be expected. He had always been the one in his family to search for as much attention as possible. He had heard that it was, after all, a very usual pattern for children born in the middle. He had started out by being overly energetic, ticking his elder sisters and brothers off in the process. But he reached his goal. His mother had to pay attention to him, otherwise there was no way telling how the surroundings would look after he had dashed through.

He had started out with training gymnastics in school. There was just something plain amusing with seeing peoples face when he did a back flip or something among those lines. It was another way to get that attention he didn't quite feel he got at his home, the fact that he actually liked gymnastic too was just a plus.

Then when he had gotten older he had noticed that he was able to get the a lot of attention from his female classmates by acting a bit stupid, add cute sounds to his phrases and style his hair in a seemingly impossible ways. His fame expanded at a frightening pace and he was soon well known for his positive, energetic cuteness by the female students.

He had soon even succeeding in getting attention from the male students as well, however the glances that were directed at him was often mixed with jealousy instead of admiration. He didn't care, it was attention none the less.

One time on one of his many group dates they had gone to sing karaoke. There was a very indescribable feeling of content as he was allowed to sing into the microphone, change his tone, letting the rhythm take over as the music overloaded his senses, he was allowed to feel with the music, sing about his inner desires in a way he hadn't been able to do before.

To know that there were people sitting behind him, watching his back and listening to every sound he uttered filled him with a strange feeling and he quickly found out that he liked it, and when one of the girls in the group had encouraged him and said that he had a very special voice and really should use it more often, he was struck.

As soon as he came home he had loaned his older brothers guitar and started playing like crazy, it didn't sound very good, something the older brother he shared a room with, wasn't late to point out. But he didn't care as long as he had fun while his fingers played over the strings.

The next day he had joined the music club in school. They weren't that many really. A few third years and fourth years, including himself and a first year.

Momoshiro might have been the youngest in the music club, however he was far more than the least talented. In fact Eiji found out that the first year was far better than many of the third years with the guitar. Momo had a personality that went well with his, the other boy also had a pretty big family and was very often searching attention by talking way too loud, even for Eiji's taste, but they quickly found each other anyway, especially since Momo was willing to give Eiji private lessons how to play the guitar.

They boys started to spend time together more often, since they shared the same interest they had a lot to talk about, the chocolates new CD, or anything that crossed their minds. Dreams of the present and the future…wishes, hopes… the list could be made much longer.

It was in the middle of the summer before Eiji's third year the decision was made. As they lay in Eiji's garden, listening to the radio and singing the songs with their favourite artists, a broadcast was made, featuring the newly formed band Aozu who had taken Japan by storm and made it into the top ten with their first single.

It was then Eiji and Momo decided that they one day would do the same thing, they would create a band and they would be famous over one night.

However it would take a few more years before their dreams came true. Both of them had school to take care of and Eiji found himself graduating the year after, leaving Momo behind. Their contact slowly ceasing as they headed different paths, different schools. When Eiji finally graduated for the last time he started to work in a CD-store.

Everyday was filled with the newest music, banging through the speakers. He quickly learned the most popular artist's voices not to mention Aozu's, especially since said band was famous for appearing on the radio station the store he was working in frequently was listening to.

He knew that the strict, manly one belonged to Tezuka, the light one to Fuji and that smooth, soothing one belonged to a guy named Oishi. However he didn't know whom was who. Surely he had seen the covers to their albums when he unpacked CD's, but it was just faces, Eiji found out that voices were far more interesting.

It would be a lie to say that he did not admire them. The band that had appeared from nowhere with members that were just ordinary, everyday people with voices like gods. One day he wanted to be like them, to get all that attention himself.

He had worked for little more than a year before the announcement was made. Aozu had got another member and the entire music world was in uproar. What if the new one couldn't sing? Mess up the special feeling that always seemed to engulf the band?

However, when the new singles were released all protest stopped at once. The new one, Ryoma, captured the hearts of Japans females in a blink of an eye and Aozu's popularity sky-rocketed.

And it was then Eiji decide that it was now or never. He would aim for the top and either stay there or fall back down to the bottom.

A/N: After I reread this I noticed that I somehow managed to write about a crack pairing. (EijiMomo if you didn't notice) it wasn't my will at all… Sorry, it just...kind of happened. Please keep in mind that they are just very good friends in this fic. Crack in all honour, but how on earth am I supposed to create a Romeo and Juliet scenario between Oishi and Eiji otherwhise?
