A middle school boy makes his way on the stage, a microphone in his hands and a radiant smile on his face.

A smile that captured everyone's hearts and was able to make him shine between thousands of artists. He was gifted , someone would say.. and that was undoubtedly true. Most people thought he never had to exercise, that what he was able to was just due to Mother Nature herself that decided to give him the abilities to achieve one of his dreams.

Yet, no one truly knew how hard he worked for that, as much as being gifted could help the boy he had to practice and work hard , even 5 hours a day, to master the ability he had.

And that hard work surely paid him off.

​​​​​He finally was there, waving to the audience, those 55 thousands of people that welcomed him, a foreigner, into the Tokyo Dome.

He was so happy he could cry, thing he would probably do as soon as the concert ended.

M/N L/N was his name, an American singer that never once really singed in English. He debuted as Japanese-speaking singer, and as that he continued to develop his career. His goal was the 'stage' he was now on: The Tokyo Dome. The same place where µ's Final LoveLive! took place.* Where many singers whose career skyrocketed used their voices to mesmerize people.

Together with his Japanese friend Kai, that never once was in Japan and that was classified as such because of his Japanese parents, he was ready to sing his first song in live. And now, it was time to greet the audience.

As they did they both looked at each other, nodding before getting ready to start their first real Japanese concert.

***********

As it ended they bowed, panting lightly, and listened to the cheers coming from the crowd. The same cheers they always dreamed about were finally directed to them.. those cheers were born because of their song.

​​​​​They waved to the spectators, moving in the backstage where they finally exploded. They jumped and hugged each other laughing.

"We finally did it M/N! I can't believe it!" Kai exclaimed happily.

"Yeah! This is the best day of my life!"

' Yet.. this won't mean I'll have to quit that right..? ' He thought almost sadly trying to restrain himself from frowning.

************

​​​​​​"So... can I?" His e/c eyes were sparkling with hope, while his body slightly trembled in excitement while waiting for the answer to his question.

His mother chuckled, finding the change of attitude from sleepy one to one full of enthusiasm almost hilarious, and nodded."Sure, just don't break anything alright?"

No answer was heard as the boy ran towards his garden, ready to finally play his favourite sport that he so unwillingly had to neglect because of his 'idol' career.

As he exited his house and the sun shone on him, he ran and reached his father that was smiling in his direction, the same excited look in their eyes. Both of them loved the sport , the older male incredibly relieved as he got to know that he could once again play it with his dear son.

How long as it been since they were able to enjoy it? It seemed like three years passed since the last time. And they really were three years. M/N's busy schedule filled with singing lessons, concerts and fame related tasks didn't help at all, even if he only was 13.

"Hey, you ready?" The father smiled kindly riffing the hair of his son, receiving an excited nod on response. Then, they finally started to play.

'It has been such a long time since I've played the last time.. As much as being an idol is fun, this will always be better!' He served the ball to his father who received it perfectly, ' Yes, volleyball definitely is the best sport in the world.'

**************

​​​​

A scream could be heard in the L/N household.

"ARE YOU SURE?!" M/N asked his parents excitedly.

They both nodded, " You surely deserve a pause from your idol activities dear.. we saw how much work you put in what you do, and we are really glad you love it. Yet, we feel like you should live a normal high school student life at least for some time.." His mother smiled at him with loving eyes.

"As normal as being famous could get." F/N muttered under his breath effectively getting smacked behind the head by his wife.

"I know how much you love playing volleyball and Japan, M/N.. So, as the good father and old Japan U19 team coach I was-"

​​​​​​"Always so modest aren't you, dad?" The son interrupted with a chuckle.

".. yeah. As I was saying, since I know how much you love this sport.. We'll let you live for the whole year in Japan, and you'll go to Karasuno high. A friend of mine coaches there in the male volleyball team, and you'll be an assistant coach there." He patted your back before continuing. "We practiced a whole lot in our free time recently, since you've taken a pause.. and I have to say you're completely impeccable in all positions. So, I'm sure you'll be fine!"

'.. But I don't know no one there.. This is pretty sad.'

"Dear we almost forgot to tell you that Kai will come with you, just not to leave you alone."

And he mentally cheered.

*********

The day came, M/N was at the airport together with his blue haired friend Kai.

​​​​​​They left after bidding farewell to their parents and familids before getting on the airplane that would finally make them go to the nation they always craved to get to.

​​​​​*I know it took place this year yet.. Had to mention it ♡

​​​​This is the prologue! I hope you don't mind this backstory ~ I myself am not a person that loves flashbacks or likes to see people's backgrounds..

So it took me a little while to write this whole chapter, just because I completely suck at writing stuff I'm not into.. ;;

I don't know if all the chapters will be this long, but I'll try my best~
