“Okay bye, nice meeting you!” Triog said as the last person left the table.
It was another failed date, Triog just couldn’t find the right partner no matter how far and wide they searched, every app they used was a fail and every double date was a fail. A sigh left his mouth as he paid the bill and walked out to the car, he quickly connected his phone to the car and called Li, his best mate, about to spill his heart out about how much he hates being single.
“Li, I can't do this no more I hate it!” Triog spoke dragging out the end to show exhaustion.
“Another failed date? Triog maybe it’s not the time right now.”
“What do you mean?
“Okay, now this might sound sappy but eventually you will find the right person in time, the universe works wonders and you just gotta let it do what it gotta do.” The person on the phone spoke giving the best advice they could.
“PFTT- no way you just said that Li! ”
“Do you want this call to end?”
“NO! NO IM SORRY IM SORRY!” Triog exclaimed needing a good distraction for the car ride.
“You off to band practice?”Li questioned.
They all had a band called “Supine” it was a band featuring some members, everyone had a role but the people up on stage were, Triog, Miha, Marcii, Herb, Jaz and Angie. The managers were Kel Tat and Tora, they helped with so much but they also were a bit busy with managing other bands too, and backstage worked a lot of people like, Pip, Madi, Sunny, and Ku.
but they only showed up for performances and competitions.
As the car pulled up into the driveway Triog said farewells to Li and exited to enter the building, inside held Herb, they were always early and played the bass. Herb was extraordinary on the bass and could play blindfolded, they share a lot about country humans and always shows fanart that members swoon over.
“Oh, hey Triog!”
“Hi Herb, how are you?”
“Just watching country humans r34?” they said tone neutral as ever, “What about you?”
Just as Herb spoke and Jaz burst through the door while Miha calmly walked behind.
“What’s up, guys!” Jaz screamed happy as ever ready for practice.
Miha was the president of the band and controlled the band's big choices, Miha was also an expert on the keys while Jaz was a drummer and could end everyone on the drums, half the time she could be annoying so that was the thing she needed to work on. They entered and socialise with everyone while hoping for the other members to arrive.
Next came Marcii and Angie, Marcii came in greeting everyone with a smile like always and telling Jaz about how she was mentally ill. That resorted to a fight that Jaz won. Angie came in hair falling down and guitar in hand watching the two fight, Angie tried to stop it but it was too late; Jaz had already won. Marcii was a backup vocalist and tagged along to see if the song was being performed correctly while Angie was the best guitarist there could be.
Angie loved the band and everyone in it, the studio was a second home with the navy blue carpet and the colourful abstract walls filled with creativity the decorations welcoming a big sense of safety. The people were all unique and special in their own ways and Angie would love everyone for it always. Angie's thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice in her ear
“Angie you fucking idiot can you not even set up your own instrument after years of playing?” Triog raised their voice with an unimpressed tone.
“Well, would you like to try then the great guitarist Triog?”
A shocked Triog came up with a quick excuse to explain how it’s not his role it’s Angie but Angie persisted.
“Just do it,” Angie spoke multiple times.
Triog had enough and just wanted to get on with the practice, let words come out his mouth without thinking.
“I’ll do you in a sec..”
“Mhm? What did you say?” Angie asked not previously hearing what was spoken.
“Nothing I just said get on with it.”
“Jesus okay okay it’s done” A sigh escaped Angie's mouth as they announced.
“Okay! Everyone we ready for practice?”
A bunch of murmurs came as everyone got into their position and began playing.
Triog cleared his throat and sang the lyrics like it was talking, his voice runs through everyone’s ears and echoed through the halls. It sounded majestic, hand on the microphone and mouth up close it was one of Triogs favourite things in the whole world and wouldn’t trade it for anything. well maybe someone. They tuned behind them to see Angie work her graceful fingers onto the guitar and eyes looking downwards while the left hand switched at the top adjusting the tone. Triog turned back and sang the chorus while he closing eyes imagining they were performing at the battle of the band's finale, the atmosphere would be wild and sweaty but fun and the people down below would look like ants, the lights colourful and vibrant and heat growing hotter the minute.
“STOP THE MUSIC” Miha raised their voice stopping the practice and rushing to grab the electronic device on the table
everyone was dumbfounded and confused as to why Miha halted for a phone call.
“Mhm, yes that is us. Yes, we are available. Yes sir of course thank you, goodbye”
Herb spoke up immediately “So! What was it?”
“Guys..” Miha dragged out for suspense
“JUST TELL US ALREADY!!” Jaz said impatiently
“We got into the battle of the bands!” Jumping up and down the whole group screamed and hugged each other in shock about the news just delivered. A group hug was indeed in order but Triog sat in dismay not knowing how to react.
“Triog cmon join the hug you deserve it!”
A familiar voice came from the left side with arms open, it was Angie
“Oh yea, thanks” smiled Trioh and came in hugging everyone tight knowing everything they have done for him but still couldn't help but be unable to be flabbergasted by this information. This had been Triog's dream since a kid, and they had the opportunity to relive it, and they would do anything to win.
After the celebration settled down they all got back to practice working hard as usual, the battle of the bands was pretty close and they just barely got a spot so they’d have to come up with songs and remixes. Everyone was on edge and nervous about number one place itching for the prize of £10k, but the prize was one of the least rewarding things to revive.
Time flew for everyone because of the celebration and the news everyone had arrived at their homes earlier than planned. Everyone but Angie and Triog, Angie wanted to practice this one particular part of the song and Triog offered feedback and give advice.
“So? What can I improve?” A voice spoke
“Mhm?” Triog questioned for a quick second before snapping back into reality
“Oh maybe try and space the notes together on that part?”
“Yes okay thank you!”
Angie replayed the past focusing on one specific part and slightly moving their head back and forth getting sucked into the flow as Triog sat and watched Angie's hair flow as the song continued, but Triog couldn’t focus on the song only the human right in front of them. But Triog was interrupted by Angie seeking Triogs opinion on the redid part.
“Yea, that’s better I think it’s fine now!”
Angie smiled glad about the praise “Hm thank you Triog”
“No problem! How do you feel about the Battle of the Bands? Why did you wanna participate?”
“Well,” Angie took a deep breath in about to explain why she became an artist “Taylor. Taylor Swift. She was a great singer and inspired me the person I am today, I admire her so much and she help me through tough up
“Taylor? Mhm, might check her out.”
“You fucking better,” Angie joked and got up to leave for the night.
“You coming?”
“Yes just wait ugh! gotta get my bag I’ll be right back.” Triog replied running down the hall to collect the bag and running straight to the door to meet up with Angie. They both turned off the lights and locked up and said farewells to each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun rose and another day came, everyone did their usual shit, Haz went to school, and Miha and Herb got the day off whilst everyone did their usual work before all meeting up at a restaurant to celebrate the Battle of the Bands. Everyone came to expect Madii, Pip and Tat as they were unavailable.
5 pm hit and everyone had arrived at the restaurant and sat down, it was a circular table with the order; Angie, Triog, Miha, Marcii, Herb and Jaz. A bunch of banter came and teasing.
“Omg..” Herb raised their voice and began to speak,” Did anyone else wonder what Triog and Angie did last night, I mean I see the way they look at each other! they’re dating!”
A bunch of laughter came from the surrounding people and agreement had come but Angie and Triogs face both turned crimson red all the way up their ears, they couldn’t even look at each other until finally one of the couple spoke up.
“Well, Herb don't act like I didn’t catch your ass watching COUNTRYHUMANS RULE34??” Triog put pressure on the last 3 words.
A crowd of “oooooh” came out of everyone as they watched Herb laugh their head off about being caught. The rest of the night came on and it wouldn’t be a night without Jaz arguing with Marcii and Miha.
“Well didn't you get a 100% with Chuuya with a match bot?” Marcii said tryna start a fight.
“Why you-“
“And 0 per cent with Dazai!” Miha added on.
“IM GONNA KILL YOU BOTH IN THE MOST HORRID WAY!!” Jaz screeched earning looks from people across the restaurant and then also earning more because they reached across the table to pull on Marciis hair earning a scream
“They always fucking fight I swear to god,” Triog said rolling his eyes as this always happens.
“For real, I love to see who wins this one!”
Angie leaned into Triog's ear.
They had both agreed on Jaz and their bettings were correct as Marcii sat there with a frown on his face and started to rub his hair as Jaz pulled on it too much.
“HEY, GUYS I HAVE A QUESTION!” A voice came from Triog.
“Out of me and Angie, who would win in a fight?”
Marcii replied, “Nobody, you guys would make out instead.”
A bunch of laughter came and Angie giggled “No, no be honest guys.”
MIxed answers had come from people’s mouths but in the end, it concluded to Angie by 1 vote and that made Triog almost killed Miha, Jaz and Marcii. They joked about the question for a while and made some crazy scenarios that even the wildest imagine couldn’t come up with, but shortly after a plan had come into action, a plan that only a few knew.
“Triog, Angie we’re all gonna go pay the bill can you stay here and protect our stuff please?” Miha had asked.
“Yea that’s fine don’t worry!” one of the couple replied as they group walked away.
“Hey Triog”
“What do you want?”
“Are you a TV” Angie paused for a second, “Because I could watch you all day”
A burst of giggling came out of Angie as her hair fell down her face and her hand came up to her face to contain the laughter that failed.
“ANGIE IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU WHAT?”
He gave in and started to giggle along with Angie both holding onto each other as they laughed about the embarrassing pickup line.
They both made eye contact for a short time the green eyes making a connection so sharp that can cut air and all Angie could think of was ‘he’s laughing, how could he sits there and laughs, and look so beautiful?” Angie observed every single detail embracing the moment and soaking it in, this definitely made it into her top 10 memories of her life.
*Behind a wall*
“See guys told you,” Marcii spoke up, “Angies in love.”
They all crouched behind a beige smooth wall, they looked weird but it didn’t matter for they were trying to set the two humans up.
“Well duh anyone can see you idiotic piece of shit” Jaz spoke with a dumbfounded voice.
A slap came to Jaz’s arm.
“Bad Jaz” Miha disapprovaly said.
Herb wooed after “Awww aren’t they just the best.”
“For real cutest couple!!” They all said as they got up to pay the bill and go their separate ways.
Later that night, Triog sat in their comfy bed, hand under the pillow as they replayed the moment in the head over and over not wanting to ever forget it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lot of practising began and days got longer and closer to the battle of the bands. before everyone knew it, the first battle was in 3 hours and they had all arrived at the stadium as they saw the other bands, the pressure and butterflies in Angie's stomach grew worse and worse.
They stepped closer and closer to the practice stage and set up the mic. The technology stuff was usually handled by Marcii and Miha, as they worked the microphone and set up the instruments the rest sat down, Herb and Jaz obsessing over country humans while Angie sat down bouncing her leg, doing deep breaths and fiddling with her fingers. Triog approached a distressed Angie with a sympathetic look on their face.
“Hey, Angie can I sit?”
She quietly hummed a response “On my lap? Yes of course” Triog quickly laughed that off before becoming more serious.
“Are you nervous? You can tell me, you know.”
“Yea, I mean I guess like I’m just scared but I’m not sure why we’ve performed in front of many people before.” Angie splurted out quickly.
“No! that’s fine but I’d say to help just close your eyes, and pretend you’re back in the studio practising.”
“Yes, Yes I think I can do that,” she took a breath “Thank you, Triog.”
A warm hand was placed upon the one below, Angie looked up all flustered and shocked but soon her eyes relaxed and mouth transformed into a smile as her pupils guided to Triog looking away with a blush on their ear before they responded.
“No problem, can’t have you messing up.”
Angie giggled tilting their head whilst doing so.
“Don’t worry! Are we playing brutal?” She perked up.
“Yeah, make sure you try your hardest k?”
Confirmation came from the person beside Triog as they just sat there for a while a comfortable silence flew through the air, hands still touching hands. Before they knew it 10 minutes has posted by and they got interrupted by staff.
“Okay, so supine? Are you done?” A member spoke.
“Yes, sir did we will leave now. So what’s the time do we play?”
The staff member responded, “ You’re the second band playing, so good luck!”
“Oh.. second?? Really? Fuckkk” Jaz dragged out the last word.
“Okay guys we have a hour till it’s time to preform so just sit around and get ready!” Miha encouraging everyone.
Triog had come over to Angie to stop her from overthinking the whole situation and brung up topics and a very important one came up, dating, which Angie had very little experience in but Triog had a lot to say about how they couldn’t find the right partner.
“I went on about I’d say” Triog stopped to count the number of dates they had been on “9”
“WHAT??” Angie blurted out in shock “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG?”
“Hey! What’s that meant to fucking mean?”
“Nothing…”
“Anyways what about you? You don’t look like you pull much.”
A gasp came from the other's mouth.
“I-I have! Don’t assume!”
“Mhmm.. how many dates in your entire life?”
He questioned in disbelief.
“…3” Angie turned their head down in shame.
“BAHHA NO HA NO FUCKING WAY!”
“Shut up Triog!”
When the laughter calmed down Triog let out a sigh signalling that they were done and then took a deep breath and spoke a brave sentence.
“Maybe I’ll take you out on a date haha teach you how to pull” Triog added a laugh joking around in case they got denied.
“You know, I wouldn’t mind that.”
Triog turned around in shock “Wait really?”
“Mhm.”
“Okay in, tomorrow at 2 pm I’ll um my place?”
“Yes, sure! You pick what we’re doing since you think you pull a lot. ” Angie confirmed the date wasn’t a joke.
“Hey! I pull bitches!” Triog fought back.
“For sure… For sure.”
They talked for ten more minutes until it was time to get ready to perform and play.
As they stepped onto the stage, grey smoke covering the floor and pinkish blueish lights covering the background they all had school outfits on; a white short-sleeved buttoned shirt, swen on patterns consisting of dead pool, ghostbusters and more, spiked hair and fake tattoos, plaid skirts and trousers. Some members had make up on, some eyeliner and light eyeshadow. They all looked like a rocked up version of school kids, well one was, and planning to play a song called brutal. It was a song about teenage struggles and anger hence the outfits.
Angie stepped up hearing the crowd roar as the music started, she looked down and began playing the guitar remembering the advice triog had. They played along to the beat not missing one and playing gracefully.
On the other side, Triog loved the attention and crowd he sang his heart out, the lyrics flew through the crowd like it was routine and everyone took it in wonderfully. Before they knew the song was over and the crowd exploded! Cheering the band name over again and screams came. I guess it was a good idea to play this song first.
Soon after the results came out and they had won against the previous band and got through to the next stage. They had a spare day tomorrow and two specific people were gonna use it on a date.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Triog had finally set up the date, it was at their place and had a whole cinema set up. A pillow fort was forged with fairy lights and blankets scattered around, and it wouldn’t be similar to a cinema if there weren’t any snacks.
“So Madii, Pip..? Looks good right?” Triog pointed the back camera to them.
“Jesus Christ are you down bad for Angie?” Pip replied.
“HAHHA” Madii bursted out, “Like 3 packets of popcorn 2 packets of smarties and 3 bottles of coke?”
Triog blurted out “WHAT THAT ISNT A LOT?”
“IT IS!” The duo said at the same time.
“Wel-“ he was interrupted by a knock on the door. “Oh shit it’s Angie bye guys!”
“Bye, bye good luck!” Madii and Pip responded.
Triog took a deep breath, look in the mirror and dusted himself off before stepping to the door and opens it to see Angie.
“Hey, Triog!” She brightened up.
Triog rolled his eyes “Ugh it's you.”
“I know! amazing ri-“ silence came before…” Oh, Triog! You outdid yourself this is- It’s so wow.”
“Thank you, I put on mean girl because I knew it was your favourite.” He perked up.
Mouth already stuffed full with sweets the other replied “Mhm Regina George is so iconic.”
“I agree but shut the fuck up and watch.” Triog started the film
“Anything for you.” She winked at him.
Before they knew it the time flew by and the movie was over so was the date, Triog was pretty satisfied with it but compared to Angie, she was agape. She kept on complimenting the date many times and praised Triog, he took it all and was relieved that she thought well. The snacks were all gone and gobbled up and the the sun had set so the two had to separate.
“I’ll get you a Uber okay?” Triog offered.
She gasped.
“Wow not even driving me home? So unromantic!”
The others face turned into anger “Piece of shit you know I can't fucking drive!”
“I know” Angie teasingly smiled and ended the sentence with a ‘hehe’.
The uber had arrived and the farewells came along.
Next morning was another of battle of the bands against “All Ricks”
It was an unknown band and they felt pity on destroying them.
“Okay, so you guys know the routine! Playing “good 4 you” and remember if you mess up just continue” Miha had given a little pep talk before but they went to set up Marcii boasted.
“Ha, I could never mess up!”
“ Boy shut the fuck up and go kill yourself.” Jaz's voice came as she smacked him on the head before dragging his ear. Miha chased behind them tutting as she always had to pull them away like little children.
“Hey Angie you better not fucking mess us up thinking about my pretty face!” a certain male popped from behind nudging her as he spoke.
“Aww too bad that’s soo hard,” she played along “but I’m afraid you gotta try not to mess up too.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Because, you have to get ready for the next date I’m taking you on.”
“W-what?” Triog couldn’t find the words to speak.
“Mhm, tomorrow at 7 pm be fucking ready.”
Herb suddenly jumped between the two and decided to be quite menacing.
“WOW ANGIE TAKING TRIOG ON A DATE?” Herb purposely screamed alerting all the members, “ IM SHOCKED!”
Jaz, Miha and Marcii gasped as they all screeched in shock and laughed in irony before anyone could even say anything the curtain had risen and Herb returned to their spot and began with the song.
As they knew the previous rival band had apparently a bad song they had it in the bag so they used their worst song first, yet for some reason the crowd loved it too. this took all members by surprise and gave hope to everyone thinking they could win the battle of the bands, get successful and finally be recognised. All their dreams were about to come true everyone who doubted them would be a shame, they had to win this the band had to win.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dressed up and ready, just a nice graphic t-shirt and blue ripped jeans. topped up with chains on the neck and shoes that were weirdly shined? Eager to leave the house and meet a certain crush.
Triog felt all giddy inside, they wasn’t used to this feeling and wasn’t sure how to comprehend the butterflies. Never ever had he had these on any date and that made him double-think. Maybe is Angie the one? The search for love could *finally* be over. Troig had talked it out with Li, Madii and Pip and they all told about how they’d been shipping them for years and years but finally, they finally got it on.
Triog stopped in the middle of his thoughts and jumped up to a text from their phone.
It was from Angie and it read.
“Hey I’m so sorry I’m gonna have to cancel the date, let’s reschedule it I beg 😭 ”
Disappointment painted Triogs face but he mustered up and replied “Haha pussy you couldn’t find a good date” They joked around for a while, hiding their true feelings but he guessed that he just had to go on with his day.
Moving on with the day peacefully until a call from Marcii and Miha came, they were “hanging out” so it was unusual and wierd for them to call but Triog accepted it and smiled “What the fucks up?”
“Hey Triog weren’t you supposed to go on a date with angie tomorrow ?!?” Marcii screeched in the phone
A sigh escaped his mouth “Yea,
was but she had to cancel..”
Silence came to surface for a couple seconds before one of them said “Oh.. We just saw angie with a boy.. Sorry Triog”
Anger arose in the victim not being able to consider the possiblitys he immediately came to the one implied ; Angie cancelled the date on Triog for another person.. he straight away through insults at angie
“Oh ho ho that son of a bitch, I wish she’d kill her self and record it! she’s like the most unlikable person ever ugh!” Triog went on a rampage and said goodbye in the end as they didn’t want to ruin Miha and Marciis “hang out”
Triog sat there staring blankly into space and in phone hand, wondering about why angie would do this? why would she just plain on cancel the date for another man? Triog wasn’t meant to be the other woman? was he? a bunch of questions ran through triogs head and before they had knew it tears came to his eyes and fell down his cheek. he didn’t know why he was so sad about this i mean.. they weren’t even dating? Triog couldn’t handle it all so he just went to distract himself with anything he could. Filling up his day with practice, on call with any friends, movies and sleep. But atleast the day had to end and Triog slept with thoughts of Angie but after what felt like hours, the darkness took over and sleep conquered the mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This time it was the semi-finals. They had to be 100% focused and play it correctly with no distractions, if they did it’ll lose them the game and the cash prize will be gone, poof! Not to mention the chance of being famous! The one thing every member had in common was.. Well Bungou Stray Dogs, but also that they all had similar dreams and that they could all help eachother to get it; Miha, Marcii, Triog, ..Angie, Jaz, and Herb all had their eyes set on one thing.
Now it was time for the usual pep talk, Miha was the master at this like it always got Triog smilling and motivatied but this time..? It, for some reason, didn’t work? Triog know why but after the casual “We have to do this!” And the “We’re like the best band ever,” Don’t forget the “If we don’t do this we won’t have another chance for years”… Triog found them self still frowning after it. Not knowing why, Triog carried on with the setting up not even glancing at Angie or speaking to her. But this however was a big mistake becuase Angie had her eyes locked on Triog the whole time. Sharing the same frown and feelings not knowing what she did wrong? She knew it was wrong to cancel on her date but what was she meant to do i mean it’s either a date or letting her brother go to the vet alone and help him get through the stress of his dogs surgery. She knew she was meant to feel anger but for some reason she felt so depressed but hopefully it wouldn’t ruin the preformance that was happeneing in a minute.
This time they played a song called “Sky likes dreams” it was a kinda rock and roll song and a personal favourite song of Triog, he said that if they was to ever blow up it’ll be this song. It was quite short consisting of 2 minutes. So before all of them knew it the song was over and they was shocked about the crowd. Triog, of course, loved it and stood there for a bit head up absorbing all the praise and love from the fans down bellow but but triog didn’t see was behind him. Angie was staring at him like he was the most handsome man ever, staring at him like he was a gift sent from heaven staring like he was perfect.
Even though they did good Triog messed up on a few notes and Angie missed a couple notes aswell, Ash along with Tat was in the crowd for every show saw this and discussed it with the whole group.
“Guys did you see what Triog and Angie did?” Tat spoke up back stage.
“Yes i saw they didnt talk to eachother before practice.” Herb pointed out.
“Oh.. guys we also saw something,” Miha spoke and looked at Marcii before saying, “Yesterday, when they were meant to go on a date um we saw Angie with another man..”
A loud gasp came from Jaz as she stated in utter suprise “WHAT?? IM GONNA KILL ANGIE FOR THIS.”
Ash stepped in “Hey, hey we don’t know the full story calm Jaz.”
“Okay.. Fine. But we need to have them sort it out i mean we can’t have them mess up in the finals.”
Everyone agreed and came up with a plan, they’d trick them into coming to Madii and Pips house as a “celebration” and then lock them in a room to sort their shit out. It’ll take some time to plan but the group could do it. So Ash and Tat called up Madii and Pip while the rest called them up and invited them at 6pm tonight..
*skip to 6pm*
“Hey guys!!” Angie greeted taking off the coat and shoes while entering the house.
“Hellooo” They all replied welcoming her in, the house had white clean walls and on the table was take out as being honest? Barley any of them could cook. Jaz and Angie offered becuase they were mwah master chefs but the group told them it was okay and that they can rest for today.
Sunny questioned, “Hey when’s triog coming?”
The silence took over for about a minute before Madii spoke up to break the eerie sound of nobody talking “Well apparently right now! Look outside guys!”
Out the window there was Triog entering the house, Angie kept her mouth shut as she watched Pip stand up to open the door for Triog and invite him in.. Not knowing that the plan started now. One of the group spoke up.
“Angie please can u get my phone in the room upstairs pleaseeee!” Jaz pleaded.
“Yea that’s fine!”
“Okay thanks you so much love you!”
“Love you too.” She scruffed her head at the end walking up the stairs. They all stayed quiet to eavesdrop at the conversation happening at the door.
“Wait for your shoes there is a room upstairs lemme show you it.” Pip guided the man. The sound of 2 people walking up stair came into people’s ears as they all smiled and giglled at the plan begging it’ll work
Upstairs Angie was searching for Jaz’s phone but she turned around to triog getting pushed into the room and the door slamming with a loud bang that made both of them jump. Triog looked around and stopped when he saw Angie.
“Oh my god it’s you.” When Triog usually said that it was as a joke but this time it was out of spite. Angie dirty looked him as that was the first thing he had said to her after 40 hours of not talking to her.
“What the fuck is this!?!” Triog loudly said banging on the door before hearing the footsteps slowly get louder as Angie shouted “Guys what is this?”
Sunny replied holding their cat in their arms “You guys need to sort your shit out before you make them loose the battle of the bands!” A evil giggle came from them as the whole group left the corridor leaving them to talk it out.
Triog kept on screaming and banging on the door before Angie finally spoke up.
“Triog stop there isn’t any use, they walked away they can’t hear us.”
“Oh shut up you fuckwad.” He spited back.
Angie was took back by that and said
“Why are you so fucking rude? Like i’m sorry I cancelled the date but i had to comfort my brother!” Explained Angie.
“Oh..”
“What happened?”
Triog took a deep breath in before saying “Marcii and Miha told me you were with another man?”
A sigh left the others mouth “Yes? My brother.”
Realisation hit triog right in the face “Oh.. so they made me cry for no reason?”
Angie turned around said “Wait you cried?”
“Oh fuck i said that out loud?”
Nodding her head she confirmed it and asked about why Triog cried.
“I cried becuase um,” he took a deep breath before letting it all out “I’m not sure but kinda like you and i thought that we could have a chance but then i saw you with that guy and it just crushed me and i don’t know.” He mumbled on and fidging with his hands.
Before silence could take over the room angie place her hand on top of his “Hey that’s okay, being honest I kinda had a crush on you for a while..”
“Wait really? So if so then maybe can we?”
“Date? Yes for sure!”
They both sat there for a while looking back at all the times that they gave so many hints and by time 10 minutes flew by and they screeched “We sorted it out guys let us out!”
After many minutes of convincing it actually worked and everyone opened the door. Ever single one teasing the couple and smiling hoping that the plan worked becuase it could go fifty fifty considering that they could A, either hate eachother or B, date so they would have to see. The dinner continued, and nobody said anything to wanting to out them if they did go with option B.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was the finale, lots of practice and prepping had been done. After a while, they had choose a personal favourite of triog. ‘christmas kids’. The song was a song based on two people called Ronnie and Phil, it had lots of depth but we can’t get into that now. Since it was the finale, one had to flip a coin from each group, Triog went and this other person with a rainbow mullet went. In the end, Triog picked tails and lost so that resulted Supine had to go first.
So the group set everything up and Miha gave their usual pep talk and began the song, smoke took over the floor and the flashing lights were handled by Sunny and Zai who of course did an amazing job as usual, the outfits were made by Tat, Ku and Li. Halfway through singing Triog turned aroud and smilied and Angie who returned the favour , Jaz noticed this and went off chart and adding a little drum beat that they all turned too see, the crowd loved it and went mental. Soon it was the ends of the song and they all stood there embracing the crowd before running off stage. They all started jumping around like bunnies and squealing like birds, so exited for as this was the best they had ever performed in their life! And they were 100% sure this wouldn’t of happened if Triog and Angie didn’t sort it out.
Calmed down, they all sat drinking water and eating before wathcing the other band preform but they knew that they had already won and got it in the bag. They were discussing about the after party and how long they would stay. In the end they settled on staying for ages and just as that deal was made the results came out and… suprise!! They had won.
An emotional moment this was for all of them. all of them had done it and the feeling was astronomical and out of the world. Supine would be a well known name to all and the songs would spread everywhere. Soon shortly not even having time to process it they werte given a big check of £10000 and agreed on the money going to the manegers; Kel, Tat and Tora. It took a while to settle down and drive to the after party but after about 1 and a half hour they had finally arrived to the venue and met up with everyone.
The people there was; Triog, Angie, Miha, Marcii, Jaz, Herb, Tora, Tat, Ku, Ash, Sunny, Kel, Madii, Pip, Li, Zai, Star, Crab, Irie, Juic, Kafka and Alina along with others.
They had a karaoke venue and they all started playing and talking, drinks had came out, the karaoke machine had sadly been discovered, and lots of food came out. the lights were a mix of blue and pink sometimes creating purple, the atmosphere was humid and warm but nobody cared anyways.
Two certain people, stepped up onto the stage and started to sing “This is why we can’t have nice things” by Angie’s favourite, taylor swift, and sung word by word not even needing to look at the lyrics like Triog. Every single person turned around and started to cheer for them, soon enough the lyrics came to the part well known “Heres a toast to my real friends” while raising their glass to everyone and next came a dangerous part and everyone sat in suspicion about what angie was gonna do next, but nobody could’ve prepared them for what happened next.
Angie put the microphone onto the left hand before lifting the other to Triog cheek and nodding to signaling that she was going in for a kiss and Triog nodded before they connected, they kissed for the “And here’s to my baby” before pulling apart and singing the rest. Everyone started to scream and hold eachother as they had finally done it after so long! Everyone knew that they were meant for one and the other but just was to scared to have it. While the crowd went wild and Angie continued singing Triog stood dumbfounded yet happy, finally happy that the search for love was happy and that it was over.
