Rating: G
Theme: #4: Casual/Stiff
Character/Pairing: Tsukimori Len/ Hino Kahoko
Once, in an attempt to soothe the sharp attitude of his shoulders she had tentatively placed a hand against his spine. Her intentions were platonic; she had known him for only a short while, but what precious little time their double practices had been. Still, he turned away; she had half expected him to gather his things up and walk out of the practice room. He shook his head slightly and berated her instead 'Relax your arms; they're too stiff.' Kahoko had felt hurt, but she had understood the message; Tsukimori-kun could not shrug off his stiff bearing, could not possibly ease himself into the other, gentler self that he kept locked neatly and secretly away in the other hemisphere of his brain. With a small sigh, she had smiled at him, tilted her head up and lifted her arms gracefully as she posed to play. She thought she saw a ghost of a smile on his face. Hope.
