A Fine Tune | Kurusu Syo
Ah...who wondered where this life led you? You never knew you would find love, mostly not for him.
You were a simple girl, one who always liked to hide in the shadows. Never in your days did you become a leader or make harsh decisions. You always wanted and always did like to go with the flow, one that is calm like the waters of a flowing river. You were just plain lazy, but that is just what your friends and parents had told you; though they never meant it in any hurtful way.
On that day, you decided to do something. Something for yourself. You decided to attended Satome Gakuen; even your parents had to agree with this. They all asked, what was with the sudden change? Why did you want to go in the first place.
They didn't know...but you always had a soft spot, no that didn't sound correct. You always enjoyed hearing music. It was nice and calming.
It was your choice, for the whole entire life...you finally chose to do something; maybe it was fate for you to do something like this. Or maybe it was leading you towards something new.
But that didn't mean you were going to pass the test that was going to be held for your entrance. "Ah, just great. I need to study." You muttered to yourself as you took a small Piano book. You flipped through it, humming to the notes. You had your hand straight and pretended to play. You could feel it.
"[First Name]-chan?" You had heard your mother's voice. You watched her head appear as she opened the door and you gave an embarrassed look as you dropped your book. "Time for dinner."
"Okay...Thank you mother." You said picking the book gently and placing it aside.
You had passed the entrance exams.
It has been months since you entered the school, and progress had been made. You were a good composer, but they had said you probably lacked something...something that would 'spice' up your music.
You searched for what this 'spice' might me. Going through books, on the internet, asking teachers, experienced people and going to concerts of famous idols whose tickets you had worked so hard to get.
Today, you had gotten your hands on a Ryuuga Hyuuga ticket. It seemed like a backstage pass or something that would let someone see the famous actor. You flapped it in the air as you set on the bench. With a sigh, you closed your eyes. You wanted to go to someone who 'sang' or played an instrument; not a guy who was going to appear in action movies.
"Natsuki! The tickets ran out." A voice shouted loudly. You looked up to see a boy, one who seemed a bit short. He wore a fedora, nails painted in sleek, black nail polish and wore his uniform in a very styled way. "I wanted to see Hyuuga-sensei in action!"
You looked at the ticket that you had. The boy actually wanted this? You stood up and started walking to them, "Did you need a ticket?" You asked the boy. "Here." You said planting it in his hands, "I don't need it but giving it to you is better than throwing it out." You then started to walk away, not even imagining that he was going to appear again before you. You were too busy with finding your missing spice.
"Oi!" A voice called out to you. It was a weekend, no school but even so, everyone lived in Satome Gakuen so it wasn't technically like a no school day. It was almost like a ...free day, that's right! Now you rubbed your eyes and blinked to get them adjusted to the light. You didn't want to become blind from opening them instantly. G
After studying, you somehow fell asleep under the tree. You placed your notebook aside and looked up to see the boy whom you have given your ticket to. "You...who are you?" You asked in a deadpanned voice.
The boy sighed at you and awkwardly sat next to you, leaning against the tree. "Kurusu Syo. The person you gave the tickets to." He answered.
You blinked, you knew that. But you just didn't know his name. "Ah...Well, I didn't want the ticket and you needed it so."
"Then thanks." Syo said flashing you a smile. You only bored stood up and walked away without even saying goodbye. You had no interest in him. There was also the rule of No Love which you will always follow for who will you even fall in love with?
You felt your hand being tugged and you looked behind you. This 'Syo' was pulling onto you. "Kurusu-san? Is there something the matter?" You inquired as you let out a sigh. You watched Syo nod and frowned, "If so, then at least let me go." You answered, tugging your arm. You rubbed it as he let it go.
"It would be bad if I didn't give something in return..." He said trailing off.
You waved your hands, "Don't sweat it. It wasn't even something worth it." You said plainly and quickly walked off.
The following days were weird. He would appear there and here, almost wherever you went. He kept on saying how he had to repay you in some way. But you always ignored his cry and sometimes told him to leave. Though he never did.
One day, you grew sick of it and decided to let him repay you in someway. He took you out towards a new cafe and said that it was also his first time there. Syo tried to make some conversation topics but you only gave short, dull answers and went back drinking your juice.
"More juice please." You called out towards a waitress that smiled brightly.
Syo sweat-dropped at you, "You're a quick drinker."
You turned towards him with a dull look, "Is that a compliment or should I take it as a insult?" You asked, your face hardening.
Syo just laughed at you. A miracle happened then, you somehow started to laugh along. "You should always smile." He said before turning slightly red. He wore a pout, one that you couldn't stop yourself from staring at. You smiled, only a small one and nodded towards him.
"A-Ah...Thanks Kurusu-san."
And with that, the clock started ticking.
Days followed ever so slowly, but it was all worth it. You somehow, one way or another; had gotten close to Syo. The two of you ate lunch together, chatted and even made some music together. During one of the tests that would help you in the future exams, your grade had improved.
"Congratulations!" Sensei had said happily to you, "You improved very well. You seem brighter, happier. Something must have happened." They had said and your face seemed to darken. "Well...it's something private then please move along." They said.
You nodded towards your teacher and bowed. Scurrying off, you found yourself breathing out a sigh of relief. It was personal actually. Ever since you started getting along with Syo, you found yourself always enjoying the moment you had spent with him.
The days that followed were quiet, you only casted your eyes down as she played with the pencil in your hand. Twirling it around in your fingers, not writing a single note on the piece of music sheet paper in front of you.
You then stood up and looked around, stuffing the paper in your bag that laid next to you; you hurried off towards a empty music room. Seating yourself comfortably on the piano chair, you placed your hands on the notes...and started to play. A soothing tune came out, one with a gentle touch. Closing your eyes you could feel it...a calm beach, small moving waves, a bright moon that shined it's glory upon the people. And there was you...sitting gently on the sand, wearing a jacket with a lost expression; waiting, that's what you were doing, waiting for someone to come.
The door opened, Syo walked in with a smile. "Yo." He said with a curt nod, "Making a new song already? You're really serious with everything." He joked. As you continued playing, he smiled, "It's a fine tune."
You blushed and stopped playing, "Y-You sure Syo?" You asked. Dropping honorifics and calling each other by first-name basis, it was something you guys had agreed on during the time you two got to know each other.
"Of course, [First Name]." He said with a serious tone, "You'll pass the exam."
You smiled, wanting to thank him but watched as he walked away; calling out to a short, red haired girl who smiled towards the boy gently. You saw Syo turning to you, waving his hand before disappearing with the girl.
When the exams came, you took it with a girl who seemed to understand you. Your first friend. You actually wanted to do it with Syo himself, you tried to ask...but later you figured out he was taken by the same girl from before; and she had more than one partner...
Even though you couldn't get close to Syo anymore, staying friends at that moment was enough. "It really was a fine tune." You said to yourself, looking at your music sheet. The first song, the one you had poured your feelings into. You weren't a lazy person as you were before.
"Hey [First Name], you passed the exam right?" Syo said, congratulating you with a smile.
