Football Player Katsuki + Marching Band Girlfriend

Like all his stupid friends here, he met you at UA University Freshmen Orientation — Group 1-A. The same group of eclectic college kids that are around today all hanging out between the Varisty Sports and Spirit Teams. Still doesn’t understand how you all managed to be put together like that. Katsuki sees you regularly ever since then. Football Player Katsuki who sees you sitting in the university cafeteria sitting with Squeaky, Tape Arms, and Round Cheeks all smiles and giggles or all slouched and complaining. And on game days when he’s got the time he and some of the team go over and sit with y’all. Because Kirishima is real good friends with those two woodwind idiots— so Bakugou initially just gets dragged along. Football Player Katsuki Who always send a big wink and grin your way as he’s running through the tunnel before the start of the game. Who compliments your playing to the rest of the team and the compliments spread like wildfire back to your director and now you’re yelling back about “Katsuki stop complimenting my playing by name. Director Yamada keeps putting me on tunnel duty — at this point he’s gonna make it a permanent thing!” And Katsuki always shrugs watching the way you’re fighting a smile, instrument in hand, but he loves it when you do the pre-game mini pep tunnel thing with him. Always gets the chance to take a pre-game (pre pregame) photo with you. All color-coordinated with his jersey and your marching uniform. Football Player Katsuki Always standing on the sidelines with the other big players Midoriya, Todoroki, and Kirishima as y’all set up for pregame. The four of them taking the time to watch what y’all are doing — even if it’s the same each time. And if he’s part of kick off then he KNOWS he’s about to be running towards y’all as you scramble off the field. And he’s barreling towards the sidelines when he spots you in the crowd. Always making goofy faces at you when he slows down: big old monster hands and downright terrifying snarl of his canines and molars, but LIVES to see you smile bright when you notice him — fellow section members now knowing him by look slapping you on the lapels to grab you attention. For Katsuki to then mime a couple clicks of a paparazzi camera back at you. sauntering over with the rest of his team back to the sideline with a faint shout of “ — you looked good!” Leaves you with a section full of snickers and teases when you’re in the stands.

Football Player Katsuki who steps on your toes all the time for these dangerous and unorthodox training schemes that his denfensive coach Aizawa comes up with. Your director Yamada somehow agreeing to letting the entire defensive team zig-zag through the marching bands box-drill warm-up. Coach Aizawa doesn’t even regulate everyone to specific sections of the “drill” — which is what you band kids read and walk everyday. He lets the team run their laps beforehand to limber up and Bakugous sharp red eyes are always watching as you’re coaching your section on the whole drill. The angst on you and his friends faces makes him wince espically when the drills starts — it’s like a mazey hell of some kinda freaky spooky mind-control shit bc you’re all moving the exact same — and also not.

Bakugou’s a big guy — tall shoulders, broad shoulders, and pretty jacked — and so is the rest of the team. And Bakugou always ends up in your section of the drill: the team and marchers absolutely scared out of their wits. And luckily y’all have your stinking movements memorized for all these turns bc you always end up turning smack dab into his chest — at least once (and no y’all do not have instruments that’d be irresponsible on Director Yamada’s part) — and then being able to maneuver around him with a beaming grin and a polite little shove into a safe spot always pausing in chanting the numbers to say, “better luck next time babe!” 7- 8. And when it’s said and done you and his friends will skip over to him and Kirishima. All laughing and comparing tallies of how many people got in your way — and he can feel his ears steaming with the way you playfully punch his shoulder and say that he’s “always on your dot” whatever the hell that means. Football Player Katsuki who practically has your little band songs memorized for all his plays. And he makes a lot of touchdowns — always waiting on that delayed cheer of your voice coming from the band stands afterwards

— always looking up waiting for your delayed smile and wave, bc you were busy fighting down a smile while playing and dancing to the fight song for the touchdown he just made.

you, Round Cheeks, Squeaky, and Tape Arms always bursting into a song and singing your parts to some band kids tunes whenever some particular trigger word falls from someone’s mouth in conversation.

Like his number? 17? He can’t get past the Seven part because Uraraka starts wailing on an imaginary horn singing the low brass line while you and the two woodwind nerds start throwing down some funky dance moves.

and he hates himself when he’s taking a break on the sidelines and him and current benchwarmer Shinsou start humming some little ditty when Midoriya and Kirishima make a first down on the field. The two of them sharing concerned glares before staring up at y’all laughing and wailing just down the way. “We never speak of this again, got it?” “Got it.”

Football Katsuki whom you always pass on your way to set-up for pregame. The man always covered in dirt and grime with his hairband pushing back his blonde bangs. The little stereotypical thick black paint smudged across his face as you pass by him with a gentle little hand to the back. And he turns around with those red eyes accentuated by those big black smears and gives you a grinning smile. Always attempting to peck his gf’s cheek before you go into place and you always taking a step back with a teasing giggle, “can’t right now ‘Suki I’m in uniform.” And you love watching his nose scrunch and his eyes flutter open, lips still pucked as you blow him a kiss. The student going crazy because the camera man has caught onto y’all a few times. Suki’ always crossing his arms and rolling his eyes shouting “break a leg!” As you prepare. Football Player Katsuki who waits around with his mates before he sees you run over to him. You and your friends now changed into regular clothes and ready to head home and shower. After he’s just helped win the whole thing and you’re walking, stomping, staggering over to him in shambles and you come up and dodge HIS KISS??! Always whining and pointing an accusatory finger like “Suki’ you made my lips hurt!” And he’s always like baby how?? And you’re like too many good touchdowns. I had to play the fight song too many times :(

Has his mates howling!!! 👏 he just doesn’t understand :((

Football Player Katsuki who also makes that adorable scrunchy face of confusion when you flip-flop between telling him that’s he’s gonna help take the team all the way to the championship!! And then you pulling back with a fearful face and whispering, “but then I have to go to finals. I have to play at finals. I have to be on the band bus to get to finals.” And he chuckles and naively says oh it can’t be that bad. Only to get a genuine slap to his arm as you glare up at him “never say that again.” A dark energy he can only explain as marching band trama when he sees your frantic pleas of a text when he tells you he’s about to reach the point in the flight where he’s gotta put his phone up. He believes you when y’all show up days later at the venue. All smelly, all angsty, all hangry from the drive over. Has him cooing over you as you mumble and grumble waiting in line with an equally agitated Round Cheeks and Ponytail as the band waits for its 400 or so members to be given room keys. A total sunshine/dark cloud reversal. Always shakes his head at Dance/Cheer Team Friend Mina who’s already been here the same amount of time he has. Short pink curls bouncing over to ask how it’s been only to see everyone else with glare as if her cheery attitude is a death wish. Immediately cowering behind him and cooing and fretting over y’all band kids just the same seriously what happened to y’all? Doesn’t matter, y’all won’t answer. The band bus is still the band bus even in college. Football Player Katsuki who helps drive/walk you home afterwards again getting a flimsy puffy and chapped lipped peck at your door after every game. Being incredibly dramatic as insists he’s in “kiss withdrawal” when you don’t kiss him the next day because your lips are still recovering. LIVES for the day-after when you’re all better. And you finally give him a good fixing of those kisses he’s been missing out on. And he looks so smitten with all your invisible chapstick lip stains and little mosquito pecks; absolutely adorable. And you can’t help but roll your eyes when he pouts up at you, blinking those thick lashes. “Still in a tremendous deficit!” He nods eagerly as you rolls your eyes and start smooching every corner and curve of his face again. Laughing between kisses “seriously suki’ it hurts! you don’t understand”

you’re right he doesn’t, but luckily he’ll wait for his victory kisses. Doesn’t ever wanna put you in more pain after a game day 🥺

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - Sinfonia from "Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte" for 2 Horns, 2 Oboes, Taille, 3 Violins, 3 Violas, 3 Cellos and Basso continuo in G-Major, BWV 174. Performed by Reinhard Goebel/Berliner Barock Solisten.

Fuck it, what instruments I think the Wolf 359 characters play with little to no justification:

Eiffel: Drums (loud. Also more important than people care to admit)

Minkowski: Flute (but was never first chair)

Hera: Voice (which DOES count as an instrument. I just like to imagine my girl singing)

Hilbert: Piano (classically trained)

Lovelace: Clarinet (proficient at the classical repertoire, but prefers jazz. I like to think she learned from a relative)

Kepler: Tenor saxophone (had to walk away from his ~funk band~)

Jacobi: Cello (in his offical playlist it ends with the 2Cellos cover of Thunderstruck. Which is. TOO PERFECT. I think he was really good at cello through his childhood, but would complain nonstop about it. But maybe secretly like it???)

Maxwell: Synthesizer (cool machines. Probably also owns a theremin)

GAYEST SECTION QUEST

[impulsivedecisionsat3am]

do you ever get homesick for an instrument?

[shadesofmauve]

We keep going anyway, damn it

The steroid shot that was supposed to finish fixing my trigger thumb fucked it up instead. I had an MRI, but don't have results yet. I haven't been able to play fiddle since May 20 — but dad pointed out that on my lil' tenor guitar (4 strings, C-G-D-A), I could start to learn fingerpicking w/o using my thumb. So I'm working on that, and on a song I've been wanting to perform for years.

So, yeah. Things have been shitty. But tonight I'm getting a lot of joy out of making inept tweedle-tweedle noises and singing about being a herring.

[moussygarden]

I love Ghost so much omg.

SANDSLASH I LOVE YOU TOO.

I now have two children : my cat (She's 4 in 3 weeks ♥) and that Sandslash. (Her name is Swiss and I love her)

Papa Nihil ♥

As a jazz band kid, I can confirm that this is 100% true.

[unofficially-racetrack]

Guys I’ve decided next year i want to switch to tenor saxophone! :D

The bad thing is, is that I’ll have to tell my band teacher, who will ask why and I’ll have to tell him it’s because I wanted to do a saxophone this year but I thought it would be better to start with a clarinet because I had no experience with a woodwind instrument prior to clarinet and only the trumpet.

[that-one-zombie-crow]

The real struggle of being in band is that your instrument is part of who you are.

I was at a game where we were playing the other day and a guy came up and asked if I was a girl or guy. My first response was, "Sir, I'm a tenor sax." He just stared at me for a second before leaving and it took me a few seconds to realize what I had done wrong.

[constermonster]

Commission I did of me n one of my best friends in our old band uniform for his dad!! We’ve been friends for about 18 years now!! Woaaaaa

[mushroom-winners-proof]

Drew how it feels to be pit in my band </3

You were in band?👀👀👀👀👀 if you don't mind me asking what did you play? Also man I love keyboard but being the ONLY normal keyboard player and using both hands?? Doesn't help the music I play I'm primarily the starter instrument- also random lil thought that popped into my Hed while typing this- Xigbar would probably have a alalan decidueve-

ACTUAL nightmare gon get ear damage forever 😭

buuuut yeah i was in band- concert and marching. i played clarinet in concert and the tenor sax in marching :)

[impulsivedecisionsat3am]

ALRIGHT tried the tenor sax time to ramble about it

first off the model that the music shop lended us was very nice. it was an oxford model with an antique-finish? so it had a nice flower engraving on the bell and also cost $1000.

second up, there was like, no resistance when playing. especially when i was playing high register which is crazy. like, the whole reason i switched to bass clarinet was because i had trouble with high register. so like. being able to play really fucking high notes with little trouble was insaneee

on the other hand, i had a lot of trouble with low register. like, couldn’t even get the note out without it switching to high register type of trouble. but i think that’s because of my embouchure so…

that leads us into embouchure. even though my form for clarinet SUCKS, it was still good enough to be able to play fairly well. which means it was tight, cause that’s the type you need for clarinet. but for sax you need a more loose embouchure??? which was impossible for me to do so i DEFINITELY need to work on that lol

also my ligature that i got isn’t great. but hey, it works as a ligature, so it’s fineeeee
