#i can see him putting himself between 1/010 and whoever is yelling at them

How did Neonova get together in the FRAU?

Both Neon and Nova are underappreciated in this AU, and I can somehow see the two ending up in a bar together to drink or literally Neon offers Nova to come over for a drink since Nova is one of the nicer NSRtists to him (which is saying something considering DJ is still not the nicest guy in the AU).

Somehow the two end up together and just talk. They talk about music and tech at first, mainly sticking to safe topics while also getting pretty drunk. Neon always makes sure DJ gets home safely and that they never have an event the next day, so DJ gets really attached to this new outlet in life.

Both of them figure out they enjoy each other's company and continue to see each other. Again they mainly talk about work-related things, until one day Tatiana came up in the conversation and both released their frustration of her never listening to either of them. They then ripped into a bunch of the other artists for their own faults, and even Neon complained about 1010 and how sick he is of them always being like little puppies following him around.

Which led into conversations about why Neon couldn't get attached to them. Talking about his ex-wife and his children, his home and marriage falling apart. It would be one of the first times Neon truly opened up to DJ because before it was all DJ doing most of the talking (which Neon preferred because he wanted to actually listen to someone talk since 1010 doesn't really talk to him).

The two were just becoming better and better friends, even allowing Neon to lessen his drinking a bit as he wanted to enjoy DJ's company more while sober. And DJ also ended up drinking less until the two would end up having some hang out sessions without drinks involved at all, letting them just fully enjoy each other's company and minds without any kind of interference.

After the failed revolution though, Neon became more reclusive. But instead of letting the friendship die like DJ usually would, they instead put in effort to find out what was wrong with Neon. And they found out what truly happened the night the revolution failed (no one had really told him when he got back from space) and how everyone was treating 1010 and Neon. Reminding Nova of their childhood being tormented just because he wasn't fully human.

So Nova decided to help Neon make a new contract that would get 1010 out of NSR. The two started spending more time with each other than they did before the revolution. Talking more about the future instead of the past. They started making plans to visit each other often, then turned that into moving in together, which then turned into promises of moving away and starting a new life.

As this was happening Nova wasn't making much good music or performing much, which they were supposed to do to make up for Sayu and 1010 being put on restrictive schedules. This would wind up in Nova quitting or getting fired.

I don't know which, but either way he had some pretty nasty things to say to everyone when he left. And they made sure to say some stuff about Neon and 1010 so the 6 wouldn't get outed if he just left them out of his burst of anger, which he did apologize for when he went over to Barraca Mansion later.

Neon offered DJ to stay at Barraca Mansion more often to help with the contract but also to support DJ since they didn't have a job anymore and to just stay close to them. Which Nova did end up rejecting at the time only because it would look suspicious if he just moved in immediately, but over the course of a year DJ did end up moving in to Barraca Mansion as they continued to find some kind of loophole or exploit in the NSR contract that will guarantee 1010's safe release.

Nova and Neon found hope in each other. They were both in shitty positions hoping for someone to listen to them and found that in one another. They grew closer until they finally realized that they had both fallen in love, and by that point both were ready to give up the lives they have now to start over as a family.
