GUITAR

Pale fingertips swiftly pressed against taut wires as Natsuki stroked the strings of the acoustic guitar while whispering the lyrics of a particular song. Her voice carried out in the silent room, slightly trembling as she remembered that Shizuru was in the room adjacent to hers. Despite that realization, thinking about her girlfriend only fueled her passion in playing the instrument and singing out the tune. Her murmuring of the lyrics escalated a bit louder as she sang her heart out, dedicating every note to the person she loved.

"Ara? What is that?"

Shizuru stepped out the kitchen and watched in adoration as her lover continued to sing a charming melody albeit slightly off-key due to the vocalist's overactive belting and strumming. She giggled as she walked towards the performer, who had her eyes closed.

*singing* -"I'm in looove….with aaaa... ggiiiiirrrlll!!!!"-

That was all it took.

The honey brunette placed her hands on Natsuki's cheeks and kissed her deeply, their tongues entwined in a playful struggle. Emerald orbs broadened with surprise but let go of the instrument to wrap her arms around a warm body.

The mahogany guitar shoved aside and forgotten.
