justin and you had known each other since kindergarten but that didnt exactly mean you were close or even friends, after all, you were mute so you couldn't communicate like he could with hsi voice but you always yarned for a closer bond

but it never happened, justin often avoided you even at school although everyone already knew you two knew each other, he was the only one that understand your "odd" gestures to perfections, or your odd noises you made in a attempt to form words, he was the only one who understand it. not due to closeness, due to well, he was used to you being around

you lived with your step mom and biological father, although your inability to speak caused even her a inconvenience which made her bitter towards you, so you'd often have dinner at justin's grandma's guest house, ever since you two were kids the woman always made sure to cook for you, knowing dinner was often the only meal you could have

"oh, and itsuki" justin spoke up mid meal, making you turn your head to him with a confused expression, he never usually spoke to you unless you were the one tugging for his attention "you're good at artsy stuff, right? meet me at the band room at school tomorrow" he simply said before taking another bite of his food as you hesitantly nodded, despite not being too fond of his current bandmates, specifically leo, you'd still do anything for him

the next day rolled around quite fast and schools ended just as fast so you found yourself outside the band room, hesitantly knocking before going inside, only to find jj in there fiddling with his guitar as he tried to tone it just right, you had no idea what the hell he was doing though

"great, i need help" he explained before elaborating, the whole band was made because one of his friends liked a girl who was into bands although despite having the talent they had no creativity or a single talent in arts, so he needed you to help them make a logo and anything else to impress the girl
