Chapter Text
PeachJam was doing really well with shows and new music was being made like every other week it felt. It was going really, they couldn’t ask for anything else. On top of that Momo and Jirou decided to move in together.
It took all the help to move with all the furniture and plants Momo’s family gave them. It took three days to get the women set in their apartment, they also planned on getting a cat. Denki watched as the two not so sneakily looked at adoption places while they were practicing. He was happy seeing two more of his best friends finally be happy together.
The same could be said for Denki and Hanta, while they haven’t moved in together, they were taking things slowly and it was nice. The occasional dates and the sweet texts Hanta sent in throughout the day made the blond’s heart melt. He was also getting better at skateboarding and was going to a board shop with the taller soon.The only hardship was midterms coming up for the trio. Denki was cramming it for the midterm and had to stop playing for a bit, thankfully Jirou and Momo agreed to take about a two week break from everything else.
In the two weeks leading up to midterms the trio studied and restudied, filling up their brains as much as they could. Seeing each other about three times in total, even Momo and Jirou were barely home together. Denki often texting Hanta about how he wanted to drop out, only to be told that he shouldn’t because it was his passion. Momo cried a total of five times on the phone with Mina, Tsu and Ochako. Jirou, seeming ok on the outside, flipped when she thought she messed up on a sheet.
During one of their few run-ins was at the campus coffee shop. They were all crying and stressed messes but pulled together before they got kicked out. After a short hour talk about everything they went their separate ways and went back into midterm mode. Denki needed a break! So he decided to go to the garage and thump on the drums for a bit. To his surprise Jirou was already there singing out her stress. Denki slid into the seat and picked up on their rhythm and joined in. About five minutes later Momo slid in and looked genuinely surprised to see the two there, she picked up her guitar and strummed in.
There it was, PeachJam’s new song was made under the stress and worry of three adults going to college. It needed some work but there it was, Jirou thanked the gods she pushed record that day. When the group got done they all looked at one another, tired and burnt out for the day.
To say that their midterms went well was an understatement, it went great. All three of them passed by the skins of their teeth. Momo watched as people who she didn’t expect to ever see show emotion babble with happy tears in their eyes. While everyone in Jirou’s class practically threw their notes all over the floor. Denki’s class was relatively calm, celebrating while watching the newest movie.
Later that night the three of them plus Hanta went out to their favorite restaurant. Hanta paid for the whole thing, explaining how proud he was of all three of them. Talk of how they felt during and after. Momo laughed at Jirou breaking down while they made fun of Denki for constantly texting Hanta. The group cackled, drank and ate through the night, a relieved air flowing through.
“I’m glad we can now focus on the band and make more music for now.” Jirou smiled at their girlfriend, hand in Momo’s, rubbing a thumb lightly over it. “AHH!! Speaking of which I don’t know if you could tell but...Sero and I have decided to give it a go.” Denki smiled at the two women. The taller choked on her water while the smaller dropped her fry. “FOR REAL!!! I’m so happy for y’all” Momo stated after she finally calmed down, Jirou nodding furiously after her words.
This was only the beginning of many more restaurant outings and band meets. PeachJam was going to get big. They were sure of it and were proud of themselves. Hanta smiled at the group in that moment, practically seeing the band on a big stage, the crowd cheering along with the lyrics. The night continued on for the four, laughing and chatting on.
