Trying to keep up with Akorima week is hard... doing this at work... please don't follow my example...


A Song to the Heart


Akoya knows that something is happening to Arima, the bad thing; he does not know how to fix the issue. He just knows that Arima is being quieter than usual and he wants to know why, but doesn't find the way to approach Arima to get the answer. And obviously he is not going to ask Kinshiro because that would mean that he accepts the fact that Kinshiro knows more about Arima than what he does, and Akoya won't accept that.

For a moment, he tries to think about the small conversations that he has had with Arima, trying to figure out if there's something that can tell him why he is being so serious and in some way indifferent with everything that goes around him. However nothing comes to his mind. He just sighs and suddenly he has what he thinks is a good idea.

After a couple of hours, and after sending some messages and convincing Arima to visit him, he has prepared everything and is just waiting for the main guest, Arima to come in and enjoy the show. Although Akoya is really proud of his plan, he is having some doubts that is actually going to work, but he knows that he has to give it a try. Thankfully, when he is about to freak out on thinking whether it is a really good idea or not, the doorbell rings and there's no doubt that Arima has arrived to his place.

He walks to the door and greets Arima with a kind smile, the other tries to corresponds his kindness, but he knows that Arima is just pretending to smile and feel happy, Akoya knows his real smile, Akoya knows when Arima is feeling really happy. So, at the moment that this sham attitude makes him feel almost at the edge of his self auto control, he grabs Arima's wrist and takes him to his bedroom.

"Take a seat!" Akoya immediately demands and the green haired boy just nods, a little amazed by Akoya's demanding attitude, not that it was something new, but his tone was a bit different than usual.

Just being a little nervous, Akoya takes his violin and takes a deep breath, he concentrates on what he is about to do and starts performing a sweet melody that he wants to dedicate to Arima.

At the beginning the older boy is quite confused by the action that Akoya is doing, but as soon as he starts listening to the melody and recognizes it, he feels as if something is breaking inside himself. The feelings that Arima was trying to contain start bursting and claiming to come out, which at the end, he ends up allowing. As if something uncontrollable takes over him, Arima starts crying and at that instant Akoya stops playing the violin and runs towards Arima.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I mean... I just" Akoya stumbles with his words and tries to offer comfort to Arima.

"Thank you" Arima whispers and hugs Akoya "I've been repressing for too long those feelings and thanks to you, I feel much better"

"Eh? Really?" he asks surprised of the sudden result.

"Yeah, that melody you just played means a lot to me, it bring back memories I was repressing, but I just realized, that memories are not so bad, sometimes we are allow to remember and feel good for the old times"

"That's true... I thought it would be nice to play some music to you... music is my medicine to everything and I saw you having a rough week... so.. you know"

"Thank you, Akoya" Arima says and quickly steals a kiss from Akoya, "Would you mind playing some more"

After recovering his composure from the sudden kiss, Akoya nods and takes his violin again to please Arima with the notes that he performs through his violin, maybe he didn't know the reason why Arima was sad, but he knows now hoe to make Arima smile again, with music.
