“MICROPHONE.”

Mic groaned and opened his eyes. His alarm clock was going crazy, his worst decision yet was to get one that needs to be manually turned off.

“WHAT.”

He yelled back at whoever was calling him, shuffling out of bed quickly. The door opened, and his sister Megaphone leaned against the frame.

“Dude, we have school today and you aren’t even up. It’s already seven.”

He got up quickly and stretched, looking over his room. It was fairly messy, with clothes thrown in random corners and some empty bottles and cans scattered around. He walked over to the dresser and examined his current outfit.

His sleep shirt was bright yellow and had a picture of a cartoony taco on it, with the text “LET’S TACO BOUT’ IT” underneath. His pants were gray and striped, he could probably just wear those to school.

He picked up the closest T-shirt from the floor and threw it on, smoothing out the wrinkles from it.

“MICROPHONE.”

“Coming!”

He muttered something under his breath and left his room, almost tripping when he hit the first step of the stairs from how tired he was.

His mother and Mega were already waiting downstairs. When he hit the bottom step, his mother sighed and started walking towards the door.

“Hurry up, you two are going to be late.”

“We’re not going to be late, it’s fiiiine.”

“Don’t talk back to me, young man.” She pointed her finger at Mic, her expression clearly annoyed.

When they finally got to the car, Mic pulled out his phone and started checking his notifications. Almost immediately, he got a message.

7:18 AM [super yaoimaxxer 3000]:
are ya there yet

7:18 AM [VALKYRIE!!!]:
I just got in the car

He giggled as the text to speech read Boombox’s name out loud. His mother turned around slightly.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Uh..it’s nothing.”

7:19 AM [super yaoimaxxer 3000]:
hurry up beo 😭
oh dont run over any zmall children

“Clearly it’s something.”

7:19 AM [VALKYRIE!!!]:
thanks I was planning on taht

“Mhm..” He was trying not to laugh even more and also hoping that she wouldn’t make him show her his screen. He was not in the mood to explain what “yaoi” was right now.

He scrolled through the rest of his notifications.

“Mic, get off your phone.”

“Whyy..” He muttered, trying to be quiet enough that she couldn’t hear.

“Because I’m your mother and I said so. You never want to talk to us, anyways. You act like all you care about is that phone.”

“No I don’t.”

“Then are you going to spend more time with your family? We care about you, you know.”

He had to bite his tongue to not immediately shout at her, because if they actually cared about him then why were they always finding something to be mad at him for. They never did that to Mega, why did they always act like that to him?

He glanced over at Mega. She had her face turned towards the window, with her elbow propped against the door and her hand under her cheek. He could tell that whatever music she was listening to was pretty loud cause he could hear it from across the entire car. He still didn’t see how it was fair that she always got the passengers seat just because she was taller than him.

Eventually his mother made a turn and he looked up and saw that they were at his school already. When the car stopped, the two of them grabbed their bags and got out quickly.

“MIC!!”

Mic yelped as he was suddenly grabbed from behind, the demon sweeping him off of his feet as he embraced him in a tight hug.

“Hey! Put me down!”

The demon holding him, upon hearing this, immediately dropped him onto the cement.

“Fuck you…”

“Ooo, ya wanna fuck me, gay ass.”

He got to his feet and brushed off his pants. Mic turned and gave Boombox a hard shove in the side, almost making him fall over.

“You are the LAST person I would fuck.”

“And who’s the first?”

“Kill yourself.”

Mega shifted awkwardly, standing next to Mic. “Uh..hi”

“Hey.” Boombox motioned to give Mega a fist bump, which she returned after hesitating.

The bell rang from inside the school, Boombox turned to Mic with a panicked expression and the three of them started walking quickly to get into the school before they closed the gates.

“Who do ya have first?”

“It was like…Firework or something. You had her last year, is she a good one?”

“Mm..yikes..yeah she’s really, let’s say ‘fun!’ She’s a good teacher, though.”

“Sounds great.” Mic gritted his teeth.

“I have Paintball first period, so we’re probably going to the same building.” Boombox motioned with his hand towards the building on the left.

They walked in silence for a little bit, fortunately there were still some kids frantically trying to find their classes. The first week of school was always like that.

“Just saying, I would let ya fuck me if ya wanted to.”

“Ew, what the fuck Boom! I’m not gay anyways.”

“Mhm. Whatever, twink.”

“I’m not a twink!”

“Didn’t you wear makeup last year?” Boombox teased.

“That was last year, dumbfuck.”

“So what?”

The bell rang again, signaling the end of passing period. The two boys quickly separated to get to their classes.

The teacher that Mic had first period was a tall woman with a stern expression. As he walked into the room, she glanced at him disappointedly and told him to just find an open seat. Since Mic had come in late, all the seats in the back were taken, so he took a desk near the front.

When he sat down, he started to observe the kid next to him. He wasn’t anyone he’d seen before, so likely one of the younger kids who were new to the school. He had dark gray skin and was wearing an orange hoodie with the sleeves ripped off. What Mic found unusual was that he had ears and a tail that resembled that of a dog.

Mic knew that some demons spawned with characteristics similar to animals, but he’d never actually seen a demon like that. The kid looked as fluffy and soft as a dog, too.

The dog-kid noticed him staring and turned to look at him, muttering a “Hey.” And nodding in Mic’s direction.

Mic turned his head away and let out a “Mhm.” In response. The boy next to him looked him up and down for a second before asking “You from here?”

“Mmm. Yes?”

“You’re so…pale.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Mic held out his hand and examined it. He was noticeably lighter than almost all of the demons he’d seen in his lifetime, it was pretty often that others assumed he wasn’t from the area.

“You look weird too, I guess.”

The kid frowned, and Mic immediately regretted what he said. He started toying with the collar of his shirt anxiously.

“Fuck, no- I meant like- because you-“

Holy shit Mic, you’ve only been in school for five minutes and you’re already fucking up.

Fortunately the kid just laughed it off and started smoothing out his fluffy hair. Mic wished that he could be shot dead on the spot.

“Microphone?” The teacher gazed around the room expectantly. Mic hadn’t even noticed she was taking attendance.

“Uh- here.”

The teacher glanced at him and marked something down on the attendance sheet.

“You’re Mic?”

He turned his attention back to the boy next to him.

“Yeah.”

“Coil.” The kid grinned at him and stuck his fist out for a fist bump, which Mic returned. Coil’s hands were almost twice the size of his.

“This your first year here?”

“Yeah, I got held back.” Coil laughed.

“I’ll wait.” Firework paused what she was saying and stared at the two boys sternly as the whole class went quiet. Coil rolled his eyes at her.

She started speaking again, but Mic hardly bothered to listen to her. After a long explanation of her entire backstory and family history she handed out the syllabus packets, and the bell finally rang. Mic left the class with Coil, noting how Coil was much taller than him.

“Where are you going next?”

“Upstairs, I think”

“Oh, see you later.”

Mic sat through the next six classes, almost falling asleep on his desk at one point. He tried to note which classes he had with his friends. Boombox was in his ELA and choir classes, he had math with Slingshot, and he even saw Megaphone in the back of one of his elective classes. No classes with Skateboard though, that was okay. He didn’t even have the same lunch as most of his friends, just with Boombox.

When he got out of school, his phone started vibrating almost instantly.

skater boy (planning mass murder)

He opened the group chat and typed a response.

2:29 PM [VALKYRIE!!!]:
i cant today mega has guitar lesson aftershcool

2:29 PM [skater boy]:
I forgot u agve a sister

2:30 PM [VALKYRIE!!!]:

2:30 [uwu kitten]:
skate where are you

Mic looked up from his phone and saw his mother’s car pull up next to him. He hadn’t even noticed that Mega had walked up to him.

The two of them got into the car. During the drive home, his mother mostly just asked Mega how her day was, and left Mic alone. Which was completely fine with him, he didn’t want to tell her either way.

He got home and immediately went to his room, throwing his backpack into a corner and flopping down onto his bed. After a few minutes, his phone vibrated again.

super yaoimaxxer 3000 (planning mass murder)
mic they kicked us out of starblox cause we used the straws to shoot boba at each other ☹️

uwu kitten (planning mass murder)
just to be clear I wasnt part of this

He set his phone down again and smiled.

Maybe this school year wouldn’t be so bad after all.

HOWEVER UMMM I had actually started chapter 2 of this fic a while ago! So yeah im just gonna post that. It’s not finished and it’s not edited or anything so it’s like a really bad draft. anyways enjoy uhh

go my lesbian singing vocal synthesizer fanfiction (i am a loser and write about Hatsune miku kissing women)

Mic had never understood dating.

He’d never really looked at someone and thought “Wow, they’re really attractive.” He had just never thought of anyone that way.

With his logic, ”love at first sight” was an extremely stupid concept.

And clearly the weird kid who sat next to him in first period thought the exact opposite.

“She’s so hot. I NEED her, you don’t even understand.”

“Mhm..” Mic half-tuned him out as he tried to focus on the assignment in front of him, which was EXTREMELY difficult when you have someone yelling in your ear about some random girl.

“Dude, just…talk to her.”

“I CAN’T…that’s the thing. She’ll totally like, throw rocks at me or something.” Coil twirled his pencil in his hand, staring down at the assignment that he was currently neglecting.

“Nobody even does that.”

“I just mean I don’t even have a chance.”

Mic had completely given up on getting any work done and resorted to doodling on the margins of the page.

“Who are we even talking about again?”

Coil turned his head and cautiously pointed to someone across the classroom. Mic could tell who he was talking about, she was quite pretty. Her hair was long and tied back, her copper horns reminded Mic of something but he just couldn’t put his finger on it.

“She just moved here from Thieve’s Den.”

Mic turned his head back and stared at his paper again. “I thought you hadn't talked to her yet?”

“I…overheard.”

“So you were spying.”

“Noo! It’s not wrong to just happen to be in someone’s general area while they’re talking to someone else.”

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. Coil waved to Mic and left the class, presumably to get to his next one on time.

Fuck, he’s got PE next.

Nobody liked PE. It was extra terrible for Mic since he basically fried when out in the sun for too long. He wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up sunburnt at some point.

He made his way over to the locker room, trying to get ready as fast as he could as usual.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he yelped and almost fell over.

“Sorry, my bad! Just wanted to ask if you could help me with my lock?”

Fuck.

Of all demons, why did Coil’s crush have to get a locker next to him?

“Oh, sure.”

Mic reached over and started turning the lock to open it.

“Sorry, I just transferred here.”

“It’s fine.”

“You’re friends with that dog guy, right?”

“Coil? Yeah.”

“I saw him staring at me all day. Does he…like me?”

Mic grinned. “He’s terrible at hiding it.”

“Hmm.”

There was an awkward silence.

“Sorry if it’s rude to ask but…” Mic hesitated.

“Why are you in here?”

Fortunately for him, Steampunk just laughed it off. “Oh, I’m trans. Don’t worry, I don’t find it rude.”

“Oh, sorry.”

“Genuine concern. Wouldn’t want a girl in the men’s locker room if I was you, too.”

She patted Mic on the head, which he immediately pulled away from.
