11A/N: Hey guys I'm here with a story that I adopted from Snowyasa1n called "Falling in love with Music" A High School DxD A.U Where Issei is a non-perverted introverted boy that has a passion for music, The supernatural does not exist BTW. Hope you guys enjoy it.
(3.R.D Person P.O.V)
Kuoh Academy, a well known High School that was once an all girls school now turned Co-Ed which brought many students across from Japan to enroll. The school might look like an ordinary Private School, it's known for two things: The vast majority of clubs that students are required to partake in, and the students themselves. There are many clubs in Kuoh such as: Girls Kendo club, Cosplay club, Manga club, tennis club, Photo club, ETC. All of these clubs are run by students who show great passion for what they love with the vast majority of clubs the school divided themselves into mythical factions. The big three are the Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels. There are other factions as well like the youkai, magicians, heroes, and dragons who get along pretty well with each other. Of all the Clubs the top three are the Cosplay, Kendo and Manga club with even the teachers participating as well. But there is one club that isn't as grand as the others yet the passion is strong and loving with only the Club Leader as it's only member.
That member was Issei Hyoudou. Issei can be best described as average and normal. He makes good grades and has an average look for a 16 yr old. His hair is spiky brown paired with brown eyes, he wears the standard school uniform except his jacket is open with a red undershirt underneath it. In addition he also has a pair of navy blue Beats wireless headphones either around his neck or head. To some Issei seems normal but his love he had for the club and skills that came with it make him great. It was the Music Appreciation Club, a classroom with instruments with some studio equipment that he provided himself. The instruments that are in the room were a piano and keyboard, a small drum set, ukulele, violin, and both the Electric and Acoustic Guitar. He also had a mini studio where he would use his laptop if he needed to make beats or to edit some music despite being the only member. As a child Issei was an introvert and developed signs of anxiety making it hard for him to make friends, and talk to girls. At the age of 6 he discovered music and fell in love with it and had found his voice through instruments and singing which he was good at but kept to himself.
"Ring Ring"
The sound of the bell had rung ending the final class of the day, Issei got up from 's class. Azazel was the sponsor of the fallen Angel group, he was a man in his early 30's with black hair, golden bangs, and black goatee. Issei got up from his seat, put on his headphones and played his music as he walked out the door towards his club room. But he didn't notice that he accidentally bumped into someone on the way out. A girl named Konou, a second year student like Issei, has golden blonde hair tied in a ponytail and matching eyes. She also has a golden fox tail and matching ears. She was the leader of the yokai cosplay group and her mom is the sponsor. She was displeased that Issei didn't apologize to her but instead walked away and ignored her. Konou decided to follow Issei and make him apologize.
Issei P.O.V
' Finally school is over, time to hit back and enjoy my time alone' I thought as I was walking towards the classroom with all of my instruments. There was nothing more great than playing music and chilling by yourself even though I don't have any friends. I still try to live my life as fully as possible though my parents are concerned about my social life with me not making friends and all but it is what it is. As I was near the door to my club room I noticed that the lights were on and I could hear two people talking ' is the student council here ?' I thought but then I realized that the voices were male, and one that I was familiar with. I flung open the door to see two guys, one near the electric bass and the other by my studio. Those guys were Matsuda and Motohama "The Perverted Duo" as they are known for peeping at girls in the locker specifically the Kendo club. Now I like girls and all but I don't go peeping at them like an idiot and such… since I'm afraid to talk to them.
Issei: " What are you two doing here ?" I said with an annoyed tone.
Matsuda: " WW..we were just l..ooking around that's all" The bald headed teen said.
Motohama: " man we didn't touch anything... swear on it." He replied shyly
I don't know if they were telling the truth for all I know they could just be hiding out from the Kendo Club. Although I never talked to these guys before, I know of them because both are in my class along with the Kendo Team Captains Murayama and Katase who would often beat the two with their shinai. " Look… you guys are probably hiding from the Kendo team but I'm not tryna deal with that bullshit today so you guys could stay until I leave" I said in a cold manner in which they thanked me for my kindness.
With Kunou
While following Issei across the school she found herself in the old school building. She wondered why he was going here since there are no cubs at the old building but he must've been in one at least. She then saw Issei walk into one of the classrooms and can hear voices in the room, she then walked up to the classroom with a sign that read "Music Appreciation Club". She frowned as she assumed that he was probably ditching with his friends to avoid the school rules. So she decided to report him and his friends to the Student Council as she peeked the classroom with a phone to get evidence. But then her perspective changed when she saw his true motives.
Matsuda: " So all of these instruments are yours including the mini studio over there ?" he asked curiously.
Issei: " I paid for things such as the Keyboard, acoustic guitar, and some of the studio equipment while the piano and violin belong to the school but so far they don't seem to be using them, and the drums and electric bass were gifts from my parents." Issei explained to the perverted duo who were surprised to hear that.
Motohama: " Wow that's impressive, your parents must be rich or something" The young bald headed said but Issei said "not really" both his parents have average jobs. His mom was a social worker at a hospital while his dad worked in consumer electronics for Sony as a technician so money wasn't a problem. Issei didn't ask for much as a kid, all he wanted was to play instruments ever since he saw a live concert. Since then he took music lessons for a couple of years and the rest he was self taught. His parents were surprised by the amount of time he spent with music but nevertheless they supported him all the way.
Matsuda: " Can you play something ?" He asked Issei in which Issei was surprised that someone asked him to play as he never played in front of people before. But he couldn't just say no so an idea came to mind. He nodded to Matsuda and hooked up his laptop to an audio speaker and walked towards the black piano and sat down. Before he played a song he took the tie off his school uniform and blindfolded himself so that he couldn't see anyone and played the keys.
[ A Song for You by Donny Hathaway, Kodi Lee Cover from A.G.T ]
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love
You wanted nothing
You came out in front
When I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song
Singing this song to you
Kouno just stood there in shock, so did the perverted duo. She stopped the recording and wondered if she should reveal herself, luckily a moment came to be.
Matsuda and Motohama: " That... was…"
Kounou: " AWESOME !" She shouted, interrupting the duo. Issei jumped up and froze when he had a voice. He took off the tie and saw Kunou standing by the doorway, blushing in embarrassment as he got up and tried to leave through the back door.
Kounou: " Wait " She said as he stopped and turned around " Ye-aah" He responded while stuttering a bit. Meanwhile Matsuda and Motohama were dumbstruck to see one of the faction presidents in their presence.
" What's your name ?" She asked so she could at least know who he was.
" Issei Hyoudou " he said, calming down a bit, " Hi My name's Kounou Kyuubi and uhm I was wondering if I could join you for your next club meeting ?" She asked.
Issei: " Well… I'm the only member so why ?" He asked, making the golden fox surprised to hear that. " Then what are those two doing here ? " She asked, pointing to the perverted Duo. Both of them were busted and they knew that it was only a matter of time but Issei decided to intervene. " They were considering joining so they wanted me to play something." He said, making the two sigh in relief.
Kounou: " Well I'm thinking about joining. Also why did you play blindfolded ?" she asked curiously wondering why he was hiding himself.
Issei: " You see… I'm not good with people and I've never played in front of others. And aren't you part of the cosplay club youkai faction so how can you join other clubs ?" He asked
Kounou: " Well the school lets us join other clubs since we are a big group so we get drawn from other clubs. As long as the meetings don't intertwine." She explained.
Issei: " I see now well…. Sure you can come in tomorrow" Issei said as Kounu thanked him and left, he sighed in relief, if she kept on talking he would've been at his limit of being able to talk to a girl normally. " Well I guess you guys could leave too" He said to both the perverted duo.
Matsuda: " Listen man, after that performance you displayed I definitely want to join." He said with excitement
Motohama: " yeah man believe it or not I'm quite the keyboard man myself, and Matsuda can play the saxophone like Bill Clinton" He said referencing the 42nd U.S president. Issei didn't know if he should believe them since many people said they would join but no one showed up.
Issei: " Ok so tomorrow I'll evaluate the two of you based on what you know so far, however I don't have a Saxophone." Issei said but Matusda said that he had one at home and will bring it to school.
As Kunou was walking down the hall she smiled to herself: " Issei Huh" she said to herself and blushed a bit as she remembered his voice. She decided to keep the recording to herself for now and went to her club meeting.
(Time Skip)
Issei got home from school and went on with the rest of the day, night time came and he fell face first on his bed. " Gahh Why did I tell her to come back tomorrow that was my place to get away from reality. And not only that I let the two most perverted guys in my club, now I have to deal with a girl being there and two perverts...Fuck my life" He said to himself not wanting the attention. He sighed and went to sleep.
