Everyone who was in the meeting could understand why she was skeptical, they would be as well. So as the day went on, it was the same old, same old. The only difference was that Hiro was in Kyoto with Ayaka till tomorrow. But Shuichi and Fujisaki were able to make do. They pretty much new their newest song by heart, but there was still a few bumps.
"Crap, I messed up again. Why can't I ever get this one section? Grrr," said Fujisaki in a really frustrated tone.
"Don't worry, you'll get it. It just takes practice. It is after all a hard piece to play," said Shuichi sympathetically. "You'll get it."
But Fujisaki wasn't sure about that. That night at home he tried again and again, but still couldn't get it. Ryuichi, who was watching, couldn't stand the frustration his lover was feeling.
"Suguru?" said Ryuichi. Fujisaki turned. Ryuichi sat down next to him on the bench and said softly, "You're trying to hard." Fujisaki sighed and shook his head. "No I mean it. When you play you're sparkly, but you're not letting yourself be for this one. Let yourself sparkle."
"How am I supposed to do that?" asked Fujisaki sarcastically?
"I don't know," said Ryu with a shrug. "Shuichi found his when we were drawing that day he left his voice. I drew the biggest drawing ever," said Ryuichi smiling and holding his arms out as wide as he could. This made Fujisaki smile. "But," said Ryuichi sadly, "I don't know if that will work for you." Fujisaki sighed heavily. "But don't give up," said Ryuichi quickly. "Mr. Bear has an idea."
Fujisaki turned to face Ryuichi and said, "Really? Couldn't hurt to hear it I guess."
Ryuichi smiled with glee. "Mr. Bear says to close your eyes." Fujisaki was skeptical at first but did as he was instructed. "Now imagine you're on an island at sunset. You're sitting at your keyboard on the beach. There is no one around for miles, only you. You can hear the birds in the distance and feel the gentle breeze on your face. Your hair shimmers in the sunlight. Now with your eyes still closed and still focusing on that, play. Don't think about what to play, just play."
Fujisaki slowly raised his fingers onto the keyboard. What came next was amazing. It was the song he had been struggling with, but this time he didn't mess up. He played the entire song perfectly. When he was done, Fujisaki opened his eyes wide. He turned to Ryuichi and said, "I did it. I played the song. Thank you Ryu." With that Fujisaki through his arms around Ryuichi.
Ryuichi blushed and said "Your welcome, but it was Mr. Bear's idea."
Fujisaki let go of Ryu and smiled looked at Mr. Bear and said, "And thank you as well." With that he bent down and kissed the bunny's forehead. He then looked back up at Ryu and said, "Now that I'm finished with my song, care to continue what was going on this morning?" Both smiled and ran off to the bedroom leaving Mr. Bear at the keyboard.
