Izuku stares at the brick building in front of him then back down at his phone, checking to see if he has the address right.

This is the address he was given by Mina, one she told him she would be at this afternoon.

He heads inside not knowing exactly what's in store really, or even what this place is.

Once he passes through the glass doors he realizes this is a music venue. It makes sense that he would be asked to meet her here since she's friends with Midnight Blue.

He walks slowly down a large wide hallway not really knowing where he's going but since Mina isn't around yet he has some time to explore.

As he moves along the corridor he hears the sound of music playing and a voice that lures him closer.

There's a set of red double doors to the right of the hall, the music seems to be coming from behind those doors.

The always curious greenett opens the doors slowly, his eyes landing on the stage all the way at the front of the large auditorium-like room.

Green eyes see a familiar blonde sitting on a black stool alone on the stage with his guitar resting on his thigh, fingers expertly strumming the strings while he sings.

Izuku moves across the room quietly, trying not to disturb the male he had met in person only a few nights ago.

The greenett takes a seat in the center of the mostly darkened seats of the venue.

He listens to the blonde play letting the music and lyrics sink in and flood his senses.

" ~~Misery likes company I like the way that sounds
I've been trying to find the meaning
So I can write it down
Staring out the window it's such a long way down
I'd like to jump but I'm afraid to hit the ground

I can't write a love song the way I fell today
I can't sing no song of hope
I've got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange
Since you went away
I sing this song to you wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

I'm tired of watching TV it makes me want to scream
Outside the world is burning
Man it's so hard to believe
Each day you know you're dying
From the cradle to the grave
I get so numb sometimes that I just feel the pain

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope
I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange
Strange enough these days
I send this song to you whoever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Staring at the paper I don't know what to write
I'll have my cigarette-well, turn out the lights
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a different way
But here in my delusion I don't know what to say

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope
I've got nothing to say
And I can't fight the feelings
That are burning in my veins
I send this song to you wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding~~~"

Izuku is caught up in the song and the sadness in the blondes voice as he plays, singing what no doubt comes from a broken heart.

Katsuki's voice is flawless, his fingers strum his heart across every string he touches and Izuku is weeping not even knowing when it started.
