A/N: Hey there everyone. So this is a RyoutaroxOC twoshot dedicated to my friend iRawrTera since it's her birthday today. It features some of my OC's from my extended La Corda Doro fanfiction 'Static'. Since I'm not rich enough to give her anyhting worthwhile, I'll just hope this is okay. :P Also, it was originally meant to be a oneshot, but today's a Saturday so I had a million tutors including the fact that I caught a fever and twisted my knee. Horrible, right?

Anyways, enough about crappy old me, HAPPY BITHDAY TERA-NII-CHAN! :P

P.S. Asashi literally means Morning Sun in English, hence the name of this story. :)


Tick tock Tick Tock Tick Tock.

"Sharp….Flat…Legato…C-damnit!" She cursed, as the piano issued a mistuned note.

The young girl let her head fall on top of the black and white keys producing a few haphazard tunes, as she let out an exasperated sigh with her eyes closed.

"Maybe you should try playing it a little slower at first," A voice drifted up from behind her. Having previously thought herself to be alone in the room, the young girl turned around to face a male. He had deep green hair which was cut short like a model pupil. His well built figure was further enhanced by his perfectly tanned skin as golden cat like eyes were filled with good humor.

"Ryoutaro-kun, what are you doing here?" Pitch black eyes stared at the boy in surprise.

"I had some work to do," Ryoutaro Tsuchiura shrugged as he approached the girl.

"Maybe you should try playing this bit a little slower to get your fingers more flexible," He suggested again, pointing at a part in the sheet music.

"I can't, there's no time," Asashi sighed again, "I've got to have this piece ready by tomorrow evening."

"But isn't it a duet piece?" The boy in black uniform asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, but Keisaku-kun couldn't stay to practice," She explained.

Ryoutaro's eyes narrowed considerably. He had had an ongoing enemity with the popular Keisaku Miura- the latest addition to Seisou Academy's Music Department. Despite his apparent dislike, he decided not to comment lest he should be contradicted by Asashi, who was friends with the moron for a reason unfathomable to Tsuchiura.

"Maybe I shouldn't have transferred to the Music Department at all," Asashi commented shrugging as she began packing all her possessions.

"No," The green haired boy contradicted, "It would just be a waste of talent."

"Right," Asashi said sarcastically, "Anyways, I have to get going. Maybe I'll get lucky and get hit by a bus on my way home." She muttered drearily.

"Don't say things like that," Ryoutaro's golden eyes flashed dangerously.

"O….kay," The black haired girl was thoroughly taken aback by his sudden mood swing, but decided not to comment about it.

"Bye then, Ryoutaro-kun," She offered him a light smile before going out the door.

"Wait!" He called out, running to catch up with Asashi, "I could help you with your piece if you want." He suggested, trying to act casual.

For a second, Asashi could only stare at him in surprise.

"If you want, that is," The green haired boy amended.

"Um…sure, I'd love that. But are you sure it won't be a bother?" The dark haired girl asked.

"Nope, I don't have anything else to do."

"'Kay, Thanks a lot!" Asashi gave him a happy smile as the two set off into the sunset.


In a place very close by, a small click issued as a picture was displayed on the screen of a camera. At the sight of it, the owner gave a small malicious laugh as It walked away unnoticed by either of the two victims.


"…..so the break in this time count will actually- Asashi-san? Asashi-san!" The golden eyed Ryoutaro waved his hand in front of the girl before him, at a loss for the correct action to take.

"Huh-uh?" The girl in question sat up straight, looking around in all directions. Ryoutaro had been tutoring her at the piano for the past hour. After half an hour of listening, enraptured by the way he simplified the teacher's complex explanations, Asashi had begun feeling drowsy. Despite the time being only 7:39, she was dozing off constantly as her temporary tutor's voice went in and out of focus.

"You know, you should really get some sleep. I can go home-" Ryoutaru's worried voice came to her as she opened her eyes wide.

"No, no, it's okay, I'm really sorry! I'll try not to-" The dark haired girl's attempts were cut off.

"It's not that. I mean you need sleep. You've practically got bags under your eyes," Ryoutaro frowned.

"I'll be fine," Asashi waved her hand patronizingly, "I've just been working a bit late for the Student Council and all." She explained, rubbing her eyes fiercely.

"Are you sure?" He still wasn't convinced.

"Yeah, yeah, absolutely," She replied, struggling to keep her eyes open, "So who broke the time count?" She asked, acting perky.

Ryoutaro sighed, slapping his forehead lightly, "No one broke the time count. I said, the break in the time count in the Treble Clef is actually…."

And he continued with his speech. Unfortunately, it did not last long. After another fifteen minutes, he watched Asashi head lolling until it dropped on the table as she slept peacefully.

Ryoutaro could only stare, surprised for a while, before a gentle smile broke out across his face, "Poor girl," He murmured, extracting himself from his seat as he took a blanket from her bed, spread it and laid it across the form of the sleeping girl.

He put his hand gently on top of her head, running it along her hair for a while, before turning to leave, turning off the lights on his way out.
