  Summary

  Chuuya was only fifteen when Double Black took the stage by storm. The sudden onslaught of followers, and performances, and interviews, and opportunities had been everything he'd craved.
  He was fifteen when Double Black was formed, and eighteen when it all came crashing down.
  Four years later, and the past he'd long since forgotten was back to haunt him. Or more specifically, certain bandage covered idiots were back, and ready to forge his own path.

   

  Or the rockstar au that absolutely no one asked for but I'm here to deliver anyways. Inspired by arabaki's band au on tiktok. Fic title comes from the song 'Under A Paper Moon' by All Time Low.
