Stand by Him | Sodo

𝑳𝑿𝑰𝑰𝑰 - 𝑶𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒅!

「𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒂'𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒗」

I had spent yesterday teaching Year Zero to Phantom on the guitar. Today arrived faster than I thought as it seemed that yesterday passed really fast...

At 6 in the morning, I was already awake, and so were the others. We were all getting ready to leave at our own pace... and it seemed like Swiss was already ready. We literally woke up at the same time, and he was already done? Anyway, it wasn't time to really think about that.

As soon as everyone was ready, we all gathered out stuff for the tour and left... we were officially gone for the Europe tour!

「𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔」

Most of us were chatting amongst each other as we sat somewhere in the tour bus. I was with Aurora and Cirrus, talking about whatever topics came to our minds. We could hear Sodo and Swiss talking loudly in the back... or maybe they were arguing. It was kinda hard to tell, but at the same time, it didn't really matter right now. I was just so excited to finally tour with the band!

« So, what's touring with Ghost like? Is it exciting to play concerts? Are the crowds big? » Aurora asked with a large smile on her face as both of us looked at Cirrus for answers.

« It's really fun, you'll see! It'll be normal that you feel a little awkward in the first few songs since it's both your first time on stage, I suppose... but once you get more comfortable, I swear, you two will rock the stage for sure! » Cirrus said, her voice filled with certainty.

« I can't wait! But do you think the crowd is going to like us? » I asked, more curious than worried.

Cirrus let out a quiet chuckle as I asked my question. « I've never seen the crowd dislike a ghoul. You'll be fine. » She told me with a smirk.

Aurora seemed a bit relieved by this answer as well. Of course, it was stressful... Aurora, Phantom, and I are just going to appear on stage tonight without warning! We were all worried about what the crowd would think Sunshine and Aether aren't there anymore either....

Eventually, we suddenly heard the loud talking of Swiss and Sodo sounding more like Sodo's angry voice. Having a bad feeling about what his anger could've been caused by, I quickly went to check it out only to see Sodo shouting angrily at Phantom and Swiss standing nearby, unsure of what to do.

« What's going on? » I asked Swiss, not wanting Sodo to lash out at me if I asked him himself.

Swiss looked at me for a few seconds before eventually telling me. « He got mad because you spent time with Phantom again. He won't even let Phantom speak. » He explained.

I sighed heavily as Swiss told me the reason Sodo was so angry. « They can't keep fighting like that. They're bandmates. They'll have to get along! » I said to Swiss.

He shrugged. « Give him time, I guess. You know Sodo hates new people. » Swiss said.

« But that's a whole new level of 'hating new people'! Phantom could just breathe, and Sodo would insult him. This is getting out of hand! » I said.

Both Swiss and I fell silent as we heard Phantom speak up, trying to reason with Sodo. Would Sodo even let him speak, or was he going to cut him mid-sentence again? Knowing Sodo, it was probably going to be the second option.
