Kasamatsu Yukio was a person who liked having routines. Wake up, do morning chores, eat, leave to school, meet Kobori on the way and talk about how their day went on the other day. That was his routine. But now Kasamatsu faced a problem that was breaking those routines.

"Good morning Kasamatsu-senpai!" Kise shouted cheerfully and Kasamatsu quickly shut his door.

There was a light knock on the door.

"Yukio honey, weren't you supposed to go already? You'll be late" His mother asked while on her way to kitchen.

"Yeah! I'll go..." Kasamatsu slowly opened the door to see Kise still standing there with a slight smile on his face. Kasamatsu quickly closed the door behind him before giving Kise an angry glare.

"You surprised? I thought since we go to the same school and since we're already friends we could walk the same way~!" Kise said happily.

"Enough already! First the present and now this, what do you want? I got no money nor social status that you would be interested in. And I'm an older guy and not a cute girl making home cooked meals." Kasamatsu protested with an angry voice.

"You've been watching my interviews?" Kise asked with a happy expression.

"Don't worry senpai, since we're famous we must be careful with what we say so I just said something random that came to my mind so that my fans wouldn't feel upset."

"I wasn't watching, my sister was! And I wasn't worrying about that anyway." Kasamatsu said with a slight blush.

"My point Is that I don't get what you're expecting from me."

Suddenly Kise came closer and before Kasamatsu could react he had already placed his lips on older guy's cheek. Kasamatsu looked surprised and he blushed madly.

"How mean senpai, playing with my feelings. I told you already remember? That I would make you fall in love with me..." Kise said and winked.

Kasamatsu just stood there but soon he punched Kise's stomach and quickly walked past him.

"Shut up already and don't do that ever again! Show some respect to your senpai!" Kasamatsu shouted and lifted his hand to his cheek. It burned…

"Isn't that your old guitar case? Where's the one I bought?" Kise asked after catching up with him.

"Oh yeah about that! How did you get my my address?" Kasamatsu asked angrily.

"Georgecchi gave it to me~"

"Meaning you lied to get it."

Kise laughed nervously and scratched his head. Kasamatsu sighed and just continued to walk with him. Luckily Kobori was absent today so Kasamatsu didn't have to explain why he was walking with Kise.

There was going to be a school festival soon, Kasamatsu had almost forgotten all about it but since he had volunteered to help there was no helping it.

Kise met him in front of the class again.

"Oh you're not going to go to rooftop to play the guitar?" He asked and curiously peeked over Kasamatsu's shoulder.

"I have to help with the festival so there's no time for me to play." Kasamatsu said and walked past him with huge amount of papers on his hands. Kise looked thoughtful but he then took half of the papers to his hands and smiled gently.

"I'll help you, then you can finish quicker and get to play." Kise said cheerfully and Kasamatsu looked at him with slight confusion.

"You're weird..." Kasamatsu said with a small laugh.

When they had taken the papers to the right place, Kasamatsu was discussing something with the teacher. Kise felt a bit bored but he was thankful for once that his fangirls were so busy with the festival. He could simply look at Kasamatsu and his way of handling things.

There were a couple of things Kise had learned this past two weeks. One, Kasamatsu was very observant about people around him, not as much as his friend Kuroko but still. And two, he had a strong sense of responsibility about everything he did. Sure, Kasamatsu wasn't perfect. He tried to punch Kise on their first, well...second meeting and he was really aggressive and found things like age difference important. But Kise didn't actually mind those at this point. Aomine would totally ask him if he was a masochist.

Kise sighed and then he noticed another teacher run towards him.

"Kise-kun, good that I found you. We've been meaning to ask if you'd want to sing during the festival. Only if you'd find time of course." Teacher asked with a pleading look. Kise looked slightly surprised.

"I would want to but we're not allowed to sing outside the band or without our manager's jurisdiction." Kise said and he noticed his teacher's sigh.

Kise turned to look at Kasamatsu who was talking through the program of the festival with the other teacher. Suddenly Kise got an idea.

"I can't sing but I know someone who's absolutely amazing at singing and playing guitar! I'm sure he wouldn't refuse!"

Kise smiled a bit victoriously, this was it. This was the chance that his senpai must have been waiting for!

Kasamatsu turned to look at his kouhai with slight curiosity. Kise simply smiled and waved at him with excited smile. Kasamatsu had to wonder what he was thinking of doing this time.

Kasamatsu stared at his teacher with eyes full of confusion, he had never sang in front of others and he made sure only those close to him knew about his hobby. This must have been that idiot's doing.

"I-I'm sorry could you please repeat what you said?" Kasamatsu asked and his teacher smiled gently.

"I asked if there was a chance that you could perform during our festival. I heard you play guitar very well and we would really need a performer during the show."

Kasamatsu stared at his teacher whilst progressing what he had just heard.

"Who did you hear all that from?"

"Kise Ryota, the main vocalist in Kiseki no Sedai. He told me."

Kasamatsu looked down at his feet. His grip from his guitar case's strap tightened. He bit his lip.

"Let me think about it… Please." Kasamatsu muttered quietly and gave a small smile to the teacher.

Kasamatsu bowed and then left, Kise was waiting for him at the school gate. Kasamatsu's smile turned into annoyed grin. Kise felt cold vibes at his senpai's expression.

"Ah Kasamatsu-senpai! I...aauugh!"

Kasamatsu gave a sharp hit at Kise's gut before he could hug him. Kise held his stomach and turned to look at Kasamatsu with a small pout.

"What was going through your head? Why would you tell the teacher that I play guitar?" Kasamatsu asked angrily. Kise pouted slightly.

"I was only thinking of Kasamatsu-senpai! This is a great chance to let other people hear your performance and you'd get to use the guitar I gave to you…" Kise mumbled with small voice.

Kasamatsu looked at him for a moment and somehow he didn't feel that angry anymore.

"...Besides you always look so happy while you play. I really love your voice too. I was just thinking how great would it be if you could show it to everyone too. Though I do feel bit happy that you only show that to me…"

He looked like a puppy waiting for a praise. Kasamatsu rested his hands on his hip and then sighed.

"I might do it. But there's something I got to confirm first." Kasamatsu said and Kise noticed a small sadness in his look. Kise then smiled and hugged him.

Kasamatsu shook him off pretty quickly.

"Don't get cocky! I'm not doing it because you wanted me to!"

Kise didn't look any less happy so Kasamatsu blushed slightly and simply stated that he was going home. Of course Kise needed to escort him personally. Why did he forgive him in the first place?

"Kyoko don't play with food!" Kasamatsu's mother scolded while giving Kasamatsu more rice. Kasamatsu's sister snorted and took more of the meat. Kasamatsu's father was reading a newspaper since he hadn't had enough time to read it in the morning. Kasamatsu put his chopsticks down and then turned to look at his lively family.

"I got invited to perform in the school festival, I was thinking of doing it."

Suddenly Kasamatsu's mother stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her son.

"What!?" Kasamatsu's mother shouted out in confused tone. Kasamatsu was half expecting that reaction. Kyoko turned to look at her brother with surprised look, his father put the newspaper down.

"Yukio, what is this?" His father questioned. Kasamatsu looked down at his food.

"I've been practicing playing my guitar and singing. I think I could potentially do it." Kasamatsu said. His mother looked rather shocked.

"Practicing is one thing but to perform!? Do you have any idea what kind of risks it has?! Dear say something!" Kasamatsu turned to look at his father who sighed.

"You can't." He said bluntly. Kasamatsu looked slightly hurt by this.

"I haven't had any problems this month! I don't see why I can't perform!" Kasamatsu raised his voice to his father. He didn't usually do that but this was important to him.

"I said you can't. We don't want to risk it! Do you have any idea how stressful it can be or how it can affect you!?" Kasamatsu got a bit shocked by his father's words. He then looked down and bit his lip.

"Now finish your meal and after that take your medicine."

"I'm not hungry." Kasamatsu said and stood up.

"Yukio!" His mother shouted when Kasamatsu ran upstairs to his room. His sister sighed slightly and his mother looked a bit guilty.

"It's alright. It's understandable why he would react that way. He'll calm down." His father said and then took a sip of his drink.

Kasamatsu shut his door and turned to look at the medicine bottle on the table. He took it in his hand and almost threw it on the ground in his anger. Kasamatsu sighed and turned to look at the bottle instead of throwing it.

He heard his phone buzz. Kasamatsu put the bottle down and walked over to the phone. A text message? Unknown number…

"Hello Kasamatsu-senpai! (∩˃o˂∩) I got your number too! Surprise! Oh! Did you talk to you family about the festival already? I hope you'll perform with the guitar I gave you! I can't wait to hear from you! ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ"

Kasamatsu sighed and put his phone down. He sat on his bed and leaned his head against the wall. That idiot. Kasamatsu turned to look at the guitar that was leaning against his bed. Kise had bought it to him and he still hadn't returned it. Kasamatsu gave a dry chuckle. Was he really ever going to return it? then again what was he doing with it if he couldn't even use it…

Kasamatsu fell on his side and lifted his phone again to stare at Kise's message. He gripped his phone tightly and made a decision.

"I'll do it. I'll show them that I can."
