Chapter Text
Dj knew he was staying after but he didn't know he would have to stay so late, all because he had missed his Spanish test. It was past 2:00 and that meant all the late buses already left. Of course, it had to start raining and he didn't have anyone he could call for a ride so he was suck walking in the pouring rain.
He lets out a sigh but before he stepped into the rain he saw bones, Elizabeth's boyfriend, Dj saw an opportunity. He was exactly friends with bones but he had to at least give him a ride right?
He ran up to bones before he walked outside.
‘Hey-hey wait up”
Bones looked at him “what do you want kid I have places to be”
“I don't have a ride… could you drive me home”
“ y'know I don’t really care,” bones said as he reached into his pockets to get his keys.
Dj grabbed the end of bones’ jean jacket “I'm serious, I really don't have a ride and I'm wearing all black so it's easy for someone to not see me in the rain and then run me over… so then you'll be responsible for killing a kid” he says in one breath.
“ Just shut up and I'll give you a ride” bones groans “ just don't touch anything” he points his finger at Dj’s chest.
Dj shuts up and nods, bones walk out of the building Dj follows close behind him, Dj gets in the car, and immediately feels uncomfortable but it's better than walking in the rain so he stays quiet. Bones finally starts driving after he picks a song.
It was a rock song, one he’s never heard of but he liked it, Dj never really liked rock or metal or whatever it was called it was always too loud and kinda scary but this song was different he hasn't heard anything like it.
He finally got enough courage to ask what song it was.
“Hey, bones what song is this” he pointed at the radio.
“You.. actually like it?” bones asks almost surprised
“Yeah I really like this song what's it called”
“Urantia, and-this is actually my song,” bones says proudly
Dj was shocked he knew bones was in a band but he didn't think he actually made good music.
Bones sees Dj shocked face “y'know I'm actually the one singing in this song”
“ you could actually become famous, do you have other music”
“Of course, I have other music. What kind of band has one song, doofus? ``Bones stops the car at Dg’s house but doesn't unlock the doors until he finds what he was looking for in the glove compartment.
Bones has a CD case in his hand, with the words ‘the real good shit’ written on with a sharpie.
“Here’s the rest of my band's music, since you liked it so much.” bones unlocks the car doors “see you around
Dj nods his head and gets out of the car, not until he fully gets in the house, does the car leave.
When Dj goes to his room he changes from his school clothes into his pjs, he turns on his CD player and puts in the CD bones gave him, as he lets the room be filled with music he just can't help but feel weird that he listening to bones singing, it almost feels personal because he knows bones and just talked to him.
He listens to all the songs but the song ‘Urantia’ has to be his favorite.
The next morning he makes sure to bring his walkman to school so he can listen to the songs he was given yesterday.
He puts on his headphones As he walks towards the bus stop, he is interrupted by a car that starts honking at him, he looks behind himself and sees bones’ car. Bones drives closer to him and rolls down his window, motioning Dj to get closer.
“ so…kid did you uhh.. listen to the CD,” bones says, still looking at the road.
“Yeah- I did, it was all really cool! I'm actually listening to it right now,” he says pointing to his headphones.
Bones looks completely shocked “Woah… You actually like my music,” he says almost to himself
Still looking at the road bones says “do you want or need a ride to school or something”
“Oh, no I'm fine I take the bus it’s what usually do”
“We're going to the same place just get the car, I’m just trying to be nice to a fan”
“I'm not a fan-”
“You like my music so you're a fan, kid” bones says smiling
Dj gets in the car he didn't see a reason why not to. as he gets in the car bones plays a different song but it was another one of his own songs, he could tell just by the vocals, bones has such a distinctive voice. So different but a good kind of different.
As bones pulled up to the school, a group of people surrounded the car as it finally stopped, Dj has never seen these people before, which makes him a bit uneasy, as they get out the car the group looks at bones confused.
“Who is this?” a boy with bleach blond hair asked.
Dj now feels highly uncomfortable, so he starts to walk away but not before he's grabbed by the shoulder ”his name is Dj and I just found out he's a fan of our music,” he says proudly
He felt his body light up. He was embarrassed, sure he liked the music but he didn’t like to be presented as a fan of someone, especially someone he knows.
The group of people's eyes lit up and began drowning Dj in questions. Bones interrupted them by saying “he likes the song I wrote the best” after saying that he had a smug grin on his face.
Dj was pretty sure he didn't tell bones what song was his favorite but he was more focused on getting away from bones and his band members.
The blond one spoke out again “ you know you're the first person I met that actually listens to our music, you should come to our practice”
“I don’t think I should i hav-”
Bones interrupted him “yeah the kid totally can, he's so obsessed with our music”
Now Dj was just staring at bones as he was telling complete lies to these people he didn't even know.
The group then excitedly talked about how the band was actually going places, and bones hadn't let go of Dj's shoulder.
After a while, the group finally started getting to class so finally bones let go of him, Dj heads off to 1st period.
The rest of the day went by quickly and he did manage to pass his Spanish test so staying after school wasn't all bad.
It was the end of the school day and as he was getting his stuff from his locker he felt someone behind him, he looked behind him and sees bones
“So… you are going to my band practice right?”
“Well yeah you told them I was obsessed with their music,” Dj said slightly annoyed
“Are you really mad about that, look I just wanted to show that you liked the music, you liked it right?”
“Yes” Dj gets the rest of his stuff from his locker “whatever, it doesn't matter are you driving me there”
“Yeah duh, who else would drive you, you don't have another ride, right?
“No, I don't”
“Ok good, then let's go,” he says messing up Dj's hair
Watching bones burning band practice wasn't as awkward as he thought it would be, he just sat by the door listening to them play, it was nice, especially hearing bones singing in person, Dj loved how his voice sounded unedited, or maybe how he looked when singing you could really see the emotion.
He got lost in his though he didn't realize his name was being called
“Are you deaf or something”
“Wa-what sorry what were you saying”
“I was asking if you liked the performance but you weren’t paying attention like a dumbass” bones says clearly irritated
“No I was listening, I really love how you sing, I'm serious I do” Dj felt bad
Bones' eyes got big “really what did you love about it”
Dj face felt red “the way you show emotion when you sing”
“See you are my little fan, there's no shame in it you said it yourself you love me”
“Th-that's not what I said”
His band members watch as bones Practically beg for attention.
