a/n: Hi again. :)

Prompt: "Duet"


Experimentally, Daisuke pokes at the xylophone keys with one toy mallet, raising an eyebrow. He winces after a moment as he thinks the sound is entirely too loud, and the deep frown marring the store clerk's face across the room tells him yeah, he should probably keep it down.

But still. He can't help it. The toy is just there, and there's no one here telling him not to touch it.

Slowly, the teen drags the mallet across the keys. He sits down on the bench next to the shelf as the sound echoes through the store again. Across the room, there is an annoyed sigh.

The store clerk. Right. Perhaps she is telling him that he shouldn't touch it.

"Want to make this a duet?" Takeru's voice purrs from behind him, snaking his arms around the other's waist.

"I thought you were looking at the books," Daisuke replies, too distracted with the toy in front of him to notice Takeru's suggestive tone. He feels rather than sees Takeru's shoulders slump in disappointment, and adds, "Besides, there isn't room."

Takeru's arms disappear immediately and he moves to sit on the bench Daisuke's seated on, so close that there isn't a centimeter of space between them. Daisuke's grip loosens on the toy mallet and looks at Takeru questionably.

"What makes you so certain about that?" the blond murmurs, lips hovering closely over Daisuke's. He slides an arm around the other's shoulders again, grinning.

Daisuke finds himself grinning, too, and ignores the huffing store clerk on the other side of the room as he brings their lips together, because he knows it isn't the xylophone Takeru wants to play with.
