SYNOPSIS a midnight serenade preformed by the one and only eita semi, along with his teammates.
you finally have two weeks off from school, no homework, tests, spontaneous assignments, and anything else related to school.
that also means you went home to your parents for those two weeks, you haven’t seen them in ages, so why not spend these well deserved two weeks getting pampered by your parents.
you’re about three days into the fourteen day break, so you’re still getting used to sleeping in your bed at home, not the one on campus.
so naturally, you’re still awake.
you glance up at the time on your phone, and it’s 11:58 p.m. not the most unusual time to still be awake.
you’ve cleaned your room already, watched a few episodes of a new show you’d found, checked your friends’ stories on instagram, just the usual nighttime routine you’ve followed for the past three days.
although you’ve strayed a little away from the ‘routine’ today.
usually you’d be facetiming with your boyfriend, semi. until either of you fell asleep.
he’d play his guitar a little, maybe you’d play a game on roblox together, or simply talk, about everything and anything.
but today he told you he couldn’t call today, telling you he was going to hang out with his teammates for the evening.
obviously he’d asked you if you wanted to come by, you and semi are practically attached by the hip, so it’s normal for you to also come by whenever they hung out.
but you told him no, saying you wanted to try and sleep early today. get in a better rhythm than you’ve been in these past three days.
he told you okay, and left you on delivered ever since.
it’s not something to worry about, since it’s normal to abandon your phone when you’re busy with friends, would also be pretty rude if you were on your phone constantly.
but whatever, it’s fine, you’ll go to sleep later and wake up in the morning to probably five goodmorning texts from him.
they’re probably hanging out at either taichi’s place or goshiki’s, since their parents are the most easily convinced to let a bunch of teenage boys hang around with a promise of not causing any ruckus.
it’s not really relevant to the situation right now, it just happened to cross your mind.
but unknown to you, they’re actually closer than you think.
and by closer, i mean right down the street to your house.
by now, five minutes later, you’re starting to slowly doze off, your eyelids fighting to stay open.
and in the span of a minute, you magically fall asleep. not stirring at the sounds outside, that keep getting louder with every second passing.
‘dude, this is gonna be so sick!’ taichi cheered, giving semi a very harsh slap on his back.
‘she’s gonna love this! we have to record it.’ tendō exclaims, resting his head on semi’s shoulder who pushes him off immediately.
‘i’m innocent if we get questioned about this.’ shirabu states blanky, not wanting to have come along in the first place, and participate.
‘you idiots convinced me to do this, so you better have my back.’ semi said seriously, hanging his head back and staring at the stars, thinking why the fuck he agreed to this.
‘we got your back,’ was said four times, each in a different vocal tone.
they sneak into your backyard, with the assistance of semi, who has snuck in here too many times to count.
it’s going to be a preformance with every little equipment, just someone’s phone and a portable speaker. the rest bring pure raw vocals delivered mainly by semi, but the rest for all the adlibs.
semi knows your probably half asleep, or atleast not too asleep that you can still hear what’s about to come.
he gulps once, prays to the gods above your mom won’t kill him, along with everyone in the neighborhood. and he yells out your name at the top of his lungs.
the next minute after is filled with an anxious silence, save for the wind breezing through the leaves once in a while.
and like he hoped, the blinds of your room started to open, showing your silhouette just barely in the dim lighting.
you sigh loudly, already getting irritated at the complete nut case that decided to yell your name past midnight, pulling you from your fresh slumber immediately.
you open your window, and gaze down to the idiot standing in your backyard, well, idiots.
‘eita, what the fuck!’ you whisper yell as loud as you can, giving him a look that makes him visibly wince.
‘hi, y/n!’ goshiki says too loudly, making shirabu kick his shin to shut him up, successfully.
you give the future ace a small wave, before returning your eyes to the man of the hour.
‘why are you in my backyard at twelve am, you idiot?!’ you groan, really unamused at his actions right now.
‘one really bad decision, now could you please get down here?’ he asks, giving you his most apologetic look to convince you to come down.
you drastically roll your eyes one more time, before closing your window and rolling back down your blinds.
he thinks you’ve gone back to bed, and left him and his teammates standing there, in your backyard like a bunch of junkies.
so he makes the move to the backdoor, he happens to know where the spare key to it is located.
but you didn’t go back to sleep and completely ignored them, you couldn’t leave your window, nor your blinds open like that.
you put on a sweater, one that’s big enough to cover your pajamas decorated with hearts and cats, and to not make you freeze to death outside.
you already know he’s coming to get you, even if you have no single reason to know, you just do.
as you tiptoe down the hallway and the stairs, you obviously walk right against his chest, which you did anticipate, but also didn’t see coming yet.
he’s going to say something, you can tell from his expression, so you shush him by slapping a hand over his mouth, gently.
you give him another real nasty look, showing him just how unamused you are at your peaceful slumber being interrupted by your boyfriend and his teammates.
you turn him around and push him back outside, obviously coming along with him and closing the door behind you.
as fast as he can, he kisses your cheek. knowing that you’ll pull your face away out of spite. ‘hi, baby,’ he whispers, and you reply with a blank ‘hi’, no nickname, not even the use of his name.
‘i’m sorry,’ he mutters after, maybe an apology’ll do the trick.
‘yeah, you better be.’ you say, now a hand on your hip like an annoyed mother with too many bills to pay and no money.
‘ouch!’ tendō physically recoiled at your painful remark, making you and a certain starting setter both roll your eyes.
semi quickly gets over trying to apologize, but make a start to what they came here for in the first place.
they all gather round in a circle, murmuring some words you can’t understand, and finishing off with a quadruple fist bump.
you can’t lie and say you aren’t a little bit curious to what’s about to happen, even if you are still mildly annoyed.
taichi sets up his speaker and connects his phone to it, and then the music starts to play.
and you recognize the song immediately.
hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey
it starts off with tendō and goshiki in the front, making handsigns that point to you.
then, the real act starts.
me, plus you (i’ma tell you one time)
me, plus you (one time, i’ma tell you one time)
it looks really awkward, no mics nor any props. just a handful of teenage boys singing their hearts out with the adlibs (save for one of them, you know who.)
me, plus you (one time, i’ma tell you one time)
one time (one time, i’ma tell you one time)
when i met you, girl, my heart went knock, knock (knock)
now them butterflies in my stomach won’t stop, stop (stop)
now it’s time for the solo act, just purely semi. no adlibs.
and even though it’s a struggle, love is all we got
so we gon’ keep, keep climbin’ til the mountain top
your world, is my world
and my fight, is your fight
my breath, is your breath
they look like they’re really into this.
semi’s giving it his all, activating his inner belieber self for this, embracing how embarrassed he feels, partly for you, to give you the best midnight performance possible, if you can even call it that.
when you’re hurt (i got my)
and girl, you’re my one love
my one heart, my one life for sure
let me tell you one time (girl, i love, girl, i love you)
and right as it gets really good, the inevitable happens.
someone, one of your neighbors, starts to yell, even louder than the boys’ preformance.
‘real romantic alright, but can you little shits shut up! i’m trying to sleep!’ of course, it’s your grumpy old neighbor two houses away.
this ‘announcement’ causes more people to open their window and shout incoherent stuff, some actually applauding the preformace, but most telling them to cut it out.
this naturally, causes your parents to wake up, well only your mom.
the light turns on in the hallway, you’re able to steal a glance of it as you stare at the door to the backyard, and are already preparing to take the blame on yourself.
everyone holds their breath, standing as still as they possibly can, maybe if it looks like they’re doing the mannequin challenge, that your mom won’t say anything and go back to sleep like nothing happened.
she opens the door, looks around to everyone standing like a deer caught in headlights, and sighs.
‘boys, go back home, i wouldn’t want to call your mothers. and eita, you can stay, i have a few words i want to say to you.’ he gulps, loudly.
everyone besides semi makes the move to leave, all waving you and semi a goodbye, wishing him the best of luck with what’s about to come, and quickly scramble away.
‘y/n, eita. come inside please.’ your mother says, sounding just as unamused as you were previously.
you take his hand as you both come back inside, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
you all go upstairs, to your bedroom, as you and semi both sit down on your bed, your mom stands infront of you with an unreadable expression.
as you prepare to get harshly scolded and reprimanded, or something even worse, the complete opposite happens.
‘that was adorable, you sing so well!’ your mom exclaims, grabbing semi by the shoulders and looking at him with pure adoration.
you sigh in relief, but also in pure, utter surprise. and so does semi.
‘—uh, yeah, thanks!’ he’s scrambling for the right words to say, having prepared for the absolute worst, but not the best that could’ve happend.
‘i’m not mad, but don’t do it at twelve am again, got it?’ she walks out of your room, only standing still by the door to tell you that last bit.
‘yes ma’am!’ he salutes, keeping his posture as straight as a door.
then when she finally leaves, and closes the door behind her, he falls back on your bed with a groan, running his hands down his face in relief.
‘oh my god,’ are all the words he lets out as he still recovers from earlier.
you laugh, and lay down on your stomach beside him, propping yourself up with your arms.
‘you’re so stupid, babe.’ you giggle, poking his cheek, and kissing the spot after.
‘i’m stupid for you.’ he sighs, laying down on his side and sliding his arms around your waist, effectively rolling you on your side also.
you chuckle at his words, carding your hands through his soft hair.
you lay there together for a minute, then notice that he’s on the verge of falling asleep already.
‘hey, don’t fall asleep! you still have your outside clothes on.’ you slap his cheek to wake him up a little more, grabbing his chin with one hand to make him look at you.
‘so?’ he murmurs, ‘singing to the love of your life is exhausting y’know.’ his tight hold on your waist doesn’t budge, even if he’s practically asleep.
‘yeah yeah, but you’re not sleeping in my bed with your clothes on, so take them off,’ he looks up at you with a grin, ‘and i’m not doing it, so sleep on the floor if you will.’ he rolls his eyes at you, playfully, before releasing his hold on you to stand up.
you get comfy in your bed, for the second time today, and wait for him to join you, which he does in less than thirty seconds, haphazardly throwing his clothes across your room.
he pulls you against him as soon as he’s under the covers, strong arms having found it’s place around your waist again, nuzzling his face in the crook of your neck.
‘goodnight, i love you.’ he murmurs, kissing the exposed skin of your neck.
‘i love you too, idiot.’ and with that, you fall asleep again, this time for longer than five minutes.
