theme # 10- tilt
Thanks for the reviews!
Shuichi gestured wildly, hands flying and flailing, until one hit the can of coke on the conference table. The pop slid quickly down the table and started being soaked by the papers there. The papers that Suguru had been writing on. The papers he had used to write the music of the newest song on.
He had been writing down the notes on paper because he had a new idea, and didn't want to waste memory on the keyboards.
Suguru stared at the soaked sheets, blinking slowly. As the pop started to slide off the table, the pencil the notes were written in started to smear. He placed the pencil he had been holding down slowly and with his forefinger and thumb, picked up the sheet by the corner.
The rest of the pop slid of the sheet, the pencil continuing to smear. Suguru dropped the sheet to the table with a wet sound and he leaned back, mouth pursing and eyes watering slightly.
Shuichi gapped. "I'm so sorry Fujisaki!" he cried, looking at the sheets. "I didn't mean to!" Shuichi smiled hesitantly.
Suguru blinked several more times, eyes bloodshot, and looked ready to cry. He stood slowly; hands clenched, and then said quietly, "I'll be right back." He left the room silently.
Hiro glanced at K, saw the arch to the man's eyebrow, and decided. He left the room too, only hearing Shuichi and Sakano call after him, before K started talking them.
He looked down the hallway, finding Suguru sitting on the floor, against the wall, head bowed. He went over to the younger boy, and crouched down. Suguru was gnawing on his lower lip, eyes towards the ground, filled with tears.
A lone tear fell and Hiro brushed it away with his fingertip. Suguru didn't look up. "Once they dry, we could always rewrite them," he said in a whisper. Suguru finally looked up.
"But I worked so hard…" he trailed off.
"We can rewrite them," Hiro repeated. Suguru shut his eyes for a second, before reopening them, and nodding.
Suguru still looked ready to cry so Hiro leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to Suguru's. Suguru tilted his head up and pressed back.
They were like that for a second before Hiro pulled back, laying his forehead against Suguru's. A small smile was shared before they stood and went back into the conference room.
