MummyI'mAZombie has added RaddaRadda and Mr. Vending Machine to that chat.

MummyI'mAZombie: If I have to suffer, so do you.

Mr. Vending Machine: Shit

RaddaRadda: We were so close.

MummyI'mAZombie: Yeah well Snipe is pming me and panicking because his crush is asking him to help with I don't even know what the fuck

MummyI'mAZombie: He's a gay mess of a cowboy and I'm going to cry. You two are the only sane ones left.

PyroxMcCree: It's betrayed cowboy hours. I thought I could trust you, Aizawa.

MummyI'mAZombie: Not when you rant about him and his "adorable smile and passion" for 30 goddamn minutes. Legit he just asked you to cover him when he breaks into the 1-A dorm building to sing karaoke with my kids.

PyroxMcCree: YA KNOW HE CAN SEE THESE RIGHT???

PyroxMcCree: HE CAN'T KNOW

Mr. Vending Machine: Cementoss, I will personally kill you myself if you say that again. But isn't it obvious?

RaddaRadda: Ha I know who it is, and I said that on purpose.

RaddaRadda: But really, Snipe why can't Ecto know?

PyroxMcCree: He's So...myaaaah. And I'm so blehhh....

MummyI'mAZombie: Jesus Christ you act just like my students. You're so in love but you're too self-deprecating to think they like you back. And the other is too oblivious to realize you like him because he too is a self-deprecating piece of-

Shinsou's POV

After uh...Earphone girl (I don't know her name, I'll ask Ojirou later) told us we were doing karaoke, everyone immediately broke off into little groups, some people brainstorming what song to sing, some people organizing a group, duo, trio, whatever. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go up and sing or not, I don't really have the best voice...it's just average, I think. Most of me is just..average.

"Are you going to go up and sing?" I was snapped out of my thoughts by a sweet, silky and soft voice. I look over to see Ojirou smiling warmly at me, hands in his lap and tail swaying limply. I felt the now familiar feeling of heat crawling up my neck and tickling my cheeks, a stare a bit before blinking and slightly stuttering out my response.

"I..I don't think so.. I'm not great at singing so I might step out and sit on the bench for this one." I smile weakly at him as my voice descended into more of a mumble and my eyes drifted towards the floor, an indifferent and tired look now dawning on my face. I tried not to be too upset over it but I wasn't the greatest with self-expression, I was taught not to back at my old home...and the orphanage...and kids at my old school who would make fun of me and my quirk.. some of the memories came flooding back and I put a hand on the back of my neck, pinching the skin lightly to ground me to reality. I then feel a warm hand touch my shoulder.

I look over to Ojirou, the look of indifference melting off of me and a different one of curiousity sculpting in it's place. He graced me with a happy glint in his eye and a slightly brighter smile than before. He gripped my shoulder lightly, saying a quick and quiet "follow me" before letting go, leaving me to momentarily miss his warmth before getting up and following him to a corner away from the others. He leans against the wall and begins speaking again in an understanding rather than pitiful tone.

"I know how you feel, before this Monday I had little to no confidence when it came to just about anything." He chuckles sadly. "I was made fun of back in school for looking really ordinary, playing the ukulele and singing a lot. The guys considered the last two to be really girly and thought that 'men shouldn't be into that pansy shit.'" He laughs quietly again, it was hard to get a read on whether he was comfortable talking about this or actually struggling. "But, because of my friends pushing me forward on Monday to perform in the cafeteria, I regained a lot of my old confidence, and I'm now more comfortable than other to play my ukulele or sing in front of people." He smiled at me.

"The point is, I think you should sing. See how people react. I'm sure you're a much better singer than you think, your voice is already really soothing and... I think it'd be nice to hear you.." he blushed and looked down at the floor, rubbing his face. "If you're still really nervous, we could do a duet, but if you still don't want to, that's fine. I don't want to push too far, just know that I believe that you can do it." He gave me a thumbs up.

I stared at him, wide-eyed, red-faced, and with a fluttering feeling all over my body. I love him so much..ugh god...feelings..

For what feels like the first time, I smile brightly at him. The smile is still small, but bright nonetheless. "I'd like to sing a duet with you." I see Ojirou's eyes widen intensely, his face completely flushes, his hand falls idly to his side and his tail wags fast. "C-Cool! Well, w-whatsongdoyouwantooooo... s-sing??" He clears his throat and tries to talk normally, but only fails greatly. He rubs his face quickly and looks at me with a bit of an awkward smile, pretty cute.

"How about...Do you wanna ride?" I lean closer to his face and say in a deeper and more husky voice.

"HHHHHHUM I- I mEan- iF ya rEALLY- HH" Ojirou wheezes and melts back into the wall behind him, struggling to get his words out as I can feel the heat and embarrassment radiate from his body. I laugh quietly but genuinely.

"Don't worry, it's just a joke." I wipe an imaginary tear from my eye and cover my mouth with one hand. Ojirou pouts as his tail ruffles up and he punches me in the shoulder. It actually kinda hurts. "Ow I'm sorry." I rub my shoulder and smile down at him. I see him smile triumphantly. "I'm not." We both laugh and Ojirou interrupts after a little while. "But no, seriously, what song do you wanna sing?"

"How about Sick of Losing Soulmates?" I say and he lights up. "Oh! I love that song! Actually I know it on guitar as well-" "you play guitar too???? Jeez what can't you play?" I say and he rolls his eyes. "Shut up, I only play guitar and ukulele. I'm not like.. Brendon Urie or anything."

"Nobody's like Brendon Urie." I look dreamily off into the distance and he just laughs. "I get it, he's the literal dream guy, but yeah I can go get my guitar and we can play it. Do you wanna be the front or backing vocals?"

"Backing if that's alright... I can sing a small solo, though."

Ojirou smiles warmly. "It's a good start." He says and starts to walk off to the dorms before he bumps into nothing.

"Wait, what the- HAGAKURE!"

"FUCK ABORT! ABORT! GUYS THEY CAUGHT ME!" I hear 'Hagakure' yell as foot steps go speeding in the opposite direction.

"ARE THEY CANOODLING????"

"SADLY, NO, BUT YAOMOMO, WHO THE HELL CALLS IT CANOODLING???"

"ME!"

I laugh to myself as Ojirou dusts himself off and let's out a quiet "ugh.." as he walks into the dorms.

I think I'm jut going to wait here for him.. I'm kind of scared to go out there.
-----------------------------------------------------

Thankfully, Ojirou returned about 5 minutes later with his guitar case in hand. He smiles and waves me other which I quickly follow suit with and walk over to him. We then made our way back to the rest of his class, they seemed to be waiting for us. 

"Finally! You two were taking for-e-ver!" Pikachu kid groans and leans back against the tape guy.

"Well, they're here now, so let's get started! Kaminari and Sero are going up now, we'll find a place for you two farther down the line!" The girl who ate too much shrimp looks at us and rushes 'Kaminari and Sero' onto the make-shift stage. Earphone girl from earlier was facepalming, maybe she knew what they were going to sing?

Suddenly, I hear over the speakers.

"Heeeeyyy 'Ronica~"

I hear most of the audience, excluding Sparky Boom Boom man, Shy rock boy, Prince Zuko and I, audibly gasp and they yell.

"EWWWW! YOU HAVE A LEFT HAND, USE IT!"

I look at Kaminari and Sero with curiosity and confusion. I think 'What kind of song is this?' Right before Pikachu starts to sing.

K: "You make my balls so blueee~"

Oh
That kind of song.

S: "You hurt them badly~"
K: "You make my balls so bluueee~"
S: "They're hanging sadly."
K: "What did they do to you, that you hate them so?~"
S: "Don't run from me, they're all beat up-"
S and K: "Like a tacklin' dummy!"

They sang the song with a worrying amount of passion put into it, but they were still really good singers oddly enough.

Anytime the people 'Veronica' or these girls named 'Heather' would sing, the crowd would sing as them. It was a weird experience, especially since I had no idea what the h ell was going on.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Needless to say though, the song ended after what I couldn't decide was either the longest period of my life or really short. When they walked off stage, they got a ton of applause and praise for their performance. I just gave them a thumbs up. Maybe I should look up the song they sang later.

"Thank you, thank you, you're tooooo kind!" Pikachu blew a kiss to us and bondage guy curtsied. Everyone either laughed, face palmed or stuck their tongue out to the pair as they leaned against eachother. Are they dating or??

Well, up next was a person named Jirou, who I identified as Earphone girl once she walked up onto the stage with some sort of guitar case. But someone started speaking loud enough so everyone could hear even before the lights turned on a little while after after Jirou started playing, it was the ponytail girl.

"that guy on bass?-

Jirou interrupted her.

"oh yeah~"

That's Todd."

The room followed along with whatever ponytail girl was saying.

"I know."

"oh yeah~"

"you know?"

"oh yeah!~"

"...oh no."

"hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you well~"

Every lyric line was interrupted by a heavy strum of her bass.

"our common goal was waiting for the world to end~"
"now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend!~"
"You crack the whip, shape shift and trick the past again!~"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

She sang on and on, Sero and Kaminari started moshing way in the back. Her singing was beautiful, buuut... in my opinion, there's no way it rivals Mashi- OJIROU'S. Ojirou's.

After she finished singing, she walked off the stage and was met with a hug from ponytail girl. Her face turned bright pink as she hugged her back and giggled awkwardly. After they both pulled away, ponytail girl's face was now also a light shade of pink.

"GAY!" I yell at the two, earning me a middle finger from earphone girl. I only smile to myself and Ojirou gives me a thumbs up while laughing, making my heart skip a beat.

I look over and see earphone girl smirking at me, and I return the favor and flip her off. Turning my attention away from her and towards the stage, pouting internally.

From then on, a few more people went up. Six arms dude went up and sang Girls/Girls/Boys. It was finally a song I knew so I hummed along as he sang. Invisigirl and ate-too-much shrimp went up and sang Flamingo. They both had an intense recorder session before they started singing, so they were kinda breathless, but it really just made for a great show. Midoriya and Icy Hot got up and sang The Greatest Show, which was one of the gayest things I had ever seen. Twinkle Twink sang Shiny from Moana, I shouldn't have expected less. He was so into it, it honestly scared me. I saw him wink at Ojirou and I when he walked off stage. He was oddly threatening. Gravity girl and frog girl sang Girls Just Wanna Have Fun together, it was really cute at first but then... Ectoplasm came out of nowhere and joined in??? It was interesting, and Ectoplasm actually has a pleasant voice, but everyone was still completely shocked???? After the song ended he just said "my work is done" and completely disappeared in a cloud of smoke. It was reeeally weird. But anyways, I'm pretty sure froggy and Gravity girl are dating. I also think Ponytail, Earphones and Pinky went up to sing Sincerely, Me but honestly it felt more like a big and gay fever dream.

Up next was a large group of Pikachu, Tape guy, bird head, pink pink, Midoriya and hard boi. But they didn't go on stage, first they whispered something to Ponytail and went backstage. Their silhouettes came out from the back not too long after, but they looked...weird. Like the clothes they were wearing were weird. I saw a silhouette move to one side of the stage (I'm guessing it's hard boi since the hair was all spiked up) and the rest were on the opposite side and in a line, also striking the same pose.

I look to Ojirou with curiosity and he just shrugs at me, mouthing an "I don't know." I mouth "what the fuck have we gotten ourselves into" back and he giggles quietly, then the lights turn back on gradually and we attention is pulled back to stage. Then it was revealed.

They were all in dresses.

Very fancy dresses.

It took a bit for me to realize but the five on one side of the stage were wearing the dresses the muses wore in Hercules, and hard boi was wearing Meg's dress, holding a white rose. All the details in the dresses were nailed down to a T.

"If there's a prize for rotten judgement....I guess I've already won that." Hard boi strokes the rose's petals and stares at it dreamily.

"No man is worth the aggravation..." the five on the opposite side of the stage get out of their poses and all look at hard boi.

"That's ancient history. Been there, done that." He tosses the rose and it's caught by the pink girl, she's dressed as the smallest muse.

"Who d'you think you're kiddin'? He's the Earth and Heaven to ya! Try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through ya!-

"Oh noooooo!"

-Girl you can't conceal it, we know how ya feel, and who you're thinking of!"

Half of the room at this point were either dying silently on the floor, staring intently at the performance (there was planned choreography and everything, it was beautiful), or doing an odd mixture of both. Ojirou and I were the ones doing both.

"No chance! No way! I won't say it, no, no"

"You swoon~ you sigh~ why deny it? Oh, oh~"

They did the hip movements and everything I'm-

"It's too clichè, I won't say I'm in love.."

They walked around the stage in a perfectly planned fashion, they each seemed to be really into their roles. I would be laughing my ass off right now if they weren't so good at this.

I look over and see invisigirl, six arms, icy hot and sparky boom boom ogling at a few of the people on stage. Perhaps crushes? I was learning a lot about them by just being here...

But no time for that, I have a show to watch.

By now they were almost done with the song during the time I was looking around the room. Was I really distracted for that long?

"Ooooh...at least out loud...I won't say I'm in...~ looooovee~"

"Sha-la-la-la-la-la...ahhhh~"

As they ended, they were staring at someone in particular in the crowd. It was sparky boom boom. Wait...

Was this a confession? From hard boi to sparky boom boom?

Did he literally just say he was in love without saying it out loud?

Clever.

I see sparky boom boom. For once he's shut up and absolutely red-faced instead of blowing up the whole room into the sun.

"Up next is-! ...Bakugou???? When did your name get on here? Is this a prank??" Iida looks over to Bakugou who was sitting on the floor, in an embrassing little bundle.

"...it's not a prank...I AM going up to sing next..." he mumbled angrily and went up after the previous group of six walked off and the lights dimmed. "Let it be known that I was paid to do that." Bird head said with ruffled feathers and his group laughed.

"Really? It looked like you were enjoying it." I smirk over to him and he gives me..the bird. Ah Shinsou you're fucking hilarious.

"Don't worry he did enjoy it!" A dark figure erupted from bird head's stomach and gave me a thumbs up.

"Dark Shadow." He scolded almost immediately. "Dark Shadow" stuck out his tongue at him and disappeared. What an odd quirk.

"I'm not sure if he likes you or if he's planning your murder." Ojirou whispers and I shrug. "Either is fine." I smile and raise an eyebrow to him, leaving us both to erupt in a fit of giggles.

Then the lights turned back on to reveal 'Bakugou' singing on the stage.

"I was an island, before you came along~"

"Put your boat in my sand, your hand in my hand, your heart in my songs~"

While he sang, he would occasionally glance over to hard boi, making his face turn as red as his hair. Also... his voice was really nice. It was rough, but at the same time, kind of smooth and calming. It was definitely unexpected, and apparently it also was to spikey hair.

He looked so love-struck and dazed while he stared at sparky on the stage. It was like he was off in his own fantasy world where it was just him and sparky.

"I can't do this alone anymore, 'cause I'm no good on my own anymore...what did I do to deserve this, what did you do to me? Baby come back, you know I don't want to be free."

Sparky and Spikey were now staring completely at eachother. Some people were recording, some were crying (by some I mean Gravity, Pinky and probably Invisigirl), and others were just...awestruck.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

When the song was over, I could've sworn I saw something other than hate in sparky's eyes. In fact, it looked like love. Sparky motioned the shark-toothed boy onto stage and he gladly complied, practically running up onto stage and standing next to him.

As soon as he got up there, Sparky yanked him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him, deeply, roughly and passionately. Red-hair kisses him back with just as much force.

Everybody screamed and cheered, I heard Pikachu and tape guy scream "MANLY KISSING!" while everyone celebrated that their gaybies finally got together. I actually cheered with them, I didn't know they were so supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, I know they make jokes about it a lot but I wasn't expecting them to actually be so supportive. I wonder if any of them are actually in it other than the two on stage?

"Alright guys, I get you love sucking on each other's faces, but it's someone else's turn ya know." I smile smugly at them. Bakugou's face turned red, but not in a flustered way.

"FUCK OFF YOU PURPLE SHIT!" He flares down at me.

I raise my eyebrow lamely and reply immediately, having a plan in mind.

"Who do you think you are?"

"I TH-" perfect. I have him under my control now.

Some people looked at me with worried and distrusting glances, I don't blame them, I don't exactly have the best reputation. Ojirou even looked at me, slightly worried himself. I only shot him a small smile before looking back at Sparky.

"Do the Macarena."

Lo and behold, he did the fucking macarena.

"You might want to get your cameras out now." I look back to everyone else and they did as instructed, getting a good few minutes of blackmail footage in before I instrauct Kirishima to tap him lightly on the arm, ultimately snapping him out of his trance.

"WHY YOU LITTLE-"

"Bakugou."

"...you got lucky."

"WHIPPED!"

If it weren't for Midoriya's last statement, he may have actually calmed down. But nope. It took a successful whack to Bakugou's neck pressure point from Satou that finally ended their chase around the floor.

Kirishima quickly dragged him back to their seat and sat with him, their hands intertwined and them leaning against eachother. Ojirou laughed and said he would send me the video footage. While making Bakugou do the Macarena was satisfying as all hell, it still kind of hurt to know that Ojirou thought I would do something to hurt one of his classmates.

Then I realized, it was our turn.

We were both called to the stage by Iida, so we did as instructed and walked up there. I was a bit more sluggish and I felt a knot form in my chest and all the oxygen left my lungs. Am I.. having an attack? Oh no, not here, not now, please! I haven't had one in so long, I thought everything was going to be ok and happy and fine but no it's just a going to be awful like everything else... What will Ojirou think if he sees me break down? What will everyone else think?? Shinsou don't do it.. calm yourself...I can't calm down! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I shouldn't have agreed to sing..I shouldn't have agreed to come to this party...I wish I didn't say yes to giving him my number, to liking him, to meeting him, to coming to UA, to BRAINWASHING HIM. Everything is falling down, Oh god, I wish I was never born, I just want to leave-

I was panting, almost crying. Ojirou looked back to me and pat my back, normally, people would have made fun of me by now, or pitied me...but..not him. He looks understanding once again...I feel safe..secure, by just being neat him. "hey...It's ok, you'll do great." He said hopefully, radiating a brightness not even the sun could match onto me. I only smiled weakly and nodded slowly, wiping what was soon to be tears in my eyes. I looked down a little and he chuckled.

"Would you like me to hold your hand or something?" He teased and chuckled at me. I glared at him and decided to challenge him.

"Yes. I would like that." I say in a deadpan. He immediately straightens up and almost jumps back, his cheeks were flushing and his tail went stiff.

"U-Um, if you say so.." he stutters out and slowly slides his hand into mine. I thought I was prepared for this but holy fUck I was so wrong. My entire body heated up as we slowly made our way to the stage, his tail curled around his leg and even though the walk took about 2 minutes, it felt like decades before we would reach the stage.

Well, we finally got onto the darkened stage, two stools and mics set up for us. Ojirou hesitantly let go of my hand. It was definitely reluctant, which made me curious, but I'll question him about it later.

We both relaxed and got up and sat on the stage. The lights gradually lit up as Ojirou put his guitar in position. He looked at me, the look in his eyes asking if I was ready. I gulped silently and nodded. He then started playing the opening chords with no struggle or flaws, it was completely perfect, just like him.

"What a strange being you are.. god knows where I would be if you hadn't found me sitting all alone in the dark."

Ojirou began, his voice as creamy and sweet yet impactful as always, no matter how much I hear it, I'll never get used to it.

"A dumb screenshot of youth. Watch how a cold broken teen will desperately lean on a superglued human of proof."

I sing right after him, he looks at me with surprise and red cheeks, his tail reluctantly swayed a bit off key rather than being the metronome to the song. But he brought it back on track, thankfully. Truly my voice wasn't that good?

"What the hell would I be..without you?"

Ojirou smiled warmly to me, a glint of..no..it couldn't be...

"What the hell would I be?"

I smile back to him.

"Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth."

Was it..

"Hide the truth."

Love?

O: " 'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin, I can finally see you're as fucked up as me, so how do we win?"

S: "Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again. I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me, so how do we win?"

We stared at eachother the entire song. Singing our hearts out even if it seemed to only be soft and small. I know that I'm singing how I feel about him...but does he feel the same way maybe?

...no

...there's no way he could.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

We finally finish on a beautiful note, I could've sworn I saw someone recording and someone else crying in the audience from the corner of my eye.

I look out into the audience and they start to applaud the both of us, shouting encouraging words and cheering brightly and loudly.

Ojirou nudges me in the shoulder and mutters "you did it." So only I can hear it. I nod with a genuinely proud and happy look on my face, smiling at him.

"I did it."
