The idea for this chapter is originally meant for a multi-chapter story, but since i've got enough stories (and stress) on my plate now i decided to make a one shot out of this.

Anyway, i own nothing, enjoy :)

START OF CHAPTER:

A camera flashed.

"Remind me again why I'm here Kazuichi?"

Kazuichi Souda, one of Hajime's oldest friends and successful band musician (somehow), looked at him like he'd just dropped from another planet.

"Because." The pinkette stressed. "We're holding auditions for a new band member, right?"

"Right…?" A brown eyebrow was raised.

"So, it's like a school picture day! We need everyone's picture taken by a professional, so organising the applicant's files become easier!"

"So… why exactly do you need me? Don't you have like, an intern or someone else that works here that can do that? Don't you think calling me here was a bit overkill?"

Hajime Hinata had long found his profession as a professional photographer, and so far in his career he'd been doing pretty well, he even had a winter theme model shoot planned. So why, out of the blue, had his friend desperately asked him to come down and take photos for his band's application event?

"Becaaaaause… Miss Sonia is going to be here! And if she sees I've hired someone like you-"

Ah, there it was. Hajime couldn't even bring himself to feel a shred of surprise when the blonde girl's name came into play.

"I'm not getting paid for this, I agreed to come help you for free, you know that right?"

"That's not the point! If she sees I have such brilliant connections, then that'll impress her for sure."

"… dude, you know a photographer. Impressive? Yes, but it's not like you're best buds with the queen of England or something."

"Heeeey! Don't be mean! This plan will work for sure."

Hajime could only sigh and roll his eyes. Kazuichi was a good friend, and a brilliant mechanic in his spare time… but for some reason the one thing he couldn't seem to comprehend was that Sonia Nevermind was definitely not interested. No one had the heart to tell him, and it was becoming painful to watch.

"Yeah, sure whatever. Do you want me to go get the next auditioner in?"

"Yeah sure!" Kazuichi apparently hadn't caught the blatant sarcasm in Hajime's tone. "The receptionist isn't back from her break yet, wierdly."

Without another word, the brunette walked out into the large room where several hopeful musicians were crowded. He looked at the paper Kazuichi had handed him.

"Ibuki Mioda?" He called out.

"YAHOO! THAT'S ME!"

A very energetic girl came bounding forward. From the many coloured streaks in her hair, to the last bit of fabric on her clothes, it was clear that this girl had a very unique fashion sense. Not exactly bad, just nothing Hajime had ever personally witnessed. It did gove him ideas though.

"Come on Nagito! Ibuki wants to go shred some guitar! YAHOO!"

With that, she went sprinting past Hajime. Since she was the one he called he didn't bother to stop her.

"Aha, Ibuki please wait- oh… to late I guess."

As Hajime looked up, he saw the young man who spoke emerge from the front of the crowd.

"I'm sorry, only the… applicant… is allowed…"

He promptly trailed off as he saw the stunning creature that stood in front of him.

The clothes were nothing special, but that wasn't what Hajime was focused on. Instead what mesmerised him was his pale beauty. Soft looking white hair, smooth pale skin, and the shade of his eyes was probably the most beautiful thing Hajime had ever witnessed in his whole life.

"Oh is that so? My apologies then, I'll just go wait outside then…"

He blinked, registering that this beautiful stranger was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Before his brain could fully register what he was doing, he found his hand wrapped around the others wrist.

The pale stranger turned to face him, confused.

"Oh? I'm sorry, but I thought you just said-"

"Please model for me."

Shit. Shitshitshitshit. Stupid brain.

Grey-green eyes widened.

"Wh-what? I'm sorry… did you say model?"

Hajime let go of the other's wrist, who thankfully didn't run away.

"Here." Hajime handed him a business card he pulled from his pocket. "My name is Hajime Hinata, and I'm a professional photographer."

Long pale fingers gingerly took the card, studying it with a look of awe.

"You're THE Hajime Hinata…and you want me? Are you sure? I'm sure plenty of people would be better suited for you to pick then plain old me."

"No you're perfect!"

Fuck. Goddamnit brain can you just stop saying stupid things for five seconds?!

"I-I mean… sorry that didn't come out well."

To his pleasant surprise, the other young man laughed slightly.

"I'm doing a winter theme shoot, and your natural paleness makes you absolutely prefect for the ideas I have in mind."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. And if I may be so bold, it suits you quite well."

The other's cheeks went slightly pink, as he turned to the side and let out an embarrassed laugh.

"Then… may I be so bold as to accept your offer? If you're sure you want me that is."

"Yes, yes I am completely sure you're more then suitable… uh…"

Stupid brain.

He cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry, I've been rude. What's your name stranger?"

The shy smile he got in reply almost stopped his heart with how adorable it was.

"I'm Nagito Komaeda. Are you really sure someone of your status wants to work with someone totally ordinary like me?"

Another piece of paper shoved into his hands was clearly not what the albino expected.

"Is this…?"

"My personal number? Yes, why?"

"… this… this wouldn't be you flirting with me, would it?"

It was Hajime's turn to let out a small laugh.

"I don't know, what do you think?"

"I… I think…"

Nagito trailed off, and his face settled into a small smile again.

"I think I'd like to take your offer and find out."

[Six Months Later]

"Soooo… Ibuki wants to know! Where's that handsome porcupine of yours? Ibuki's concert starts soon!"

Nagito laughed, going slightly pink at the mention of his boyfriend.

"Don't worry Ibuki, I'm sure he'll be here soon."

END OF CHAPTER:

I totally didn't sit and write this when I should have been taking notes at my business course, what are you on about? Who am I kidding I'm a terrible person lol.

Anyway, I don't know if I really focused on the 'live bands' part as much as I should, but I at least made sure to keep music as a theme.

Cya next chapter :)
