"You really are
good!" Yusuke said; putting away the sheet music he had gotten
for Touya. Touya had memorized the songs in only a day or two,
easily. He also had a good ear, and had come up with a few
interesting pieces just sitting around goofing off, though he never
remembered what he'd done when he'd finished. Yusuke did the same
thing often enough.
Touya
grinned. "I actually have been working on a song while you've
been at school." Touya pulled a couple pieces of paper from his
pocket, one was the sheet music he'd written, and the other was the
lyrics.
Yusuke
nodded, impressed, but frowned slightly, looking over the lyrics.
"Kind of grim, isn't it?" Touya only stared. Yusuke shifted
uncomfortably, "Well, let's hear it then!" Touya began
playing, filling the room with the sound of the guitar, and then his
voice! Yusuke's jaw almost dropped at the soft, sweet melancholy
tones that Touya sang as he let out his anger and sadness in this
song. Touya finished, and Yusuke stared, shocked. He brought a hand
to his face and found a tear.
It
was Touya's turn to shift nervously, "Well?"
Yusuke
finally found his voice. "OMIGOD!" He grabbed Touya in a
tight, fierce hug. "You! You! Well, I think I've found a singer
for the band. Your voice, Touya! I've never heard anything so. It was
like a broken angel's!" Yusuke said, Touya blushed and grinned
proudly.
"And
the song?"
"The
lyrics were good, the melody, rhythm etc. were powerful, and the
follow through was excellent, especially without any back up! It was
like, I forgot who I was a moment, in the sorrow, and longing and
hate! Oh god, Touya! Where did all that come from?" Yusuke said,
holding Touya in his arms, rather awkwardly because of Touya's
guitar. He pulled away to look Touya in the face, his hands still
resting lightly on Touya's slender hips.
Touya
looked away. "I. I'd rather not say." Yusuke
grimaced.
"It
has to do with whoever raped you, doesn't it? I can't remember the
exact words but you said that in the song, didn't you? He tricked
you, stole away your innocence. You love him and hate him at once."
Yusuke questioned. Touya nodded slowly. Yusuke pulled the guitar from
Touya, placing it down on the ground carefully before pulling Touya
into a slow, comforting embrace. He thought to himself, There's so
much I don't know about Touya. Things he won't tell me, things I
won't ask.
