A/N: Last drabble! I eventually finished, even if it took forever because I lost my prompts list and didn't want to cheat. Add me on author alert - there will be more La Corda fics soon!

Zone

Azuma plays, fingers fluttering over high notes, light and transparent, dashing downward into low tones, rich and full. His flute becomes an extension of himself, part of him, a pure way to express whatever he hides inside.

The song comes to an end, the final note wavering in the air, and Azuma slowly opens his eyes to see Kahoko watching him, stunned.

His lips twitch. "You could have said something, you know. How long have you been standing there?"

Kahoko flushes. "I haven't been waiting long," she says quickly. "Besides, I didn't want to disturb you- you were so in the zone-"

Azuma laughs, pulling her to him and pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"In the zone?" he teases. "I'm not going into any zone if you're not with me, love."

Kahoko blushes brilliantly and looks away, her face flaming, and Azuma laughs before pulling her up to give her a proper kiss hello.
