Hey, guys, sorry for the delay and being off-schedule here, I've been sick this week so I haven't been able to focus on the screen long enough to come up with anything. Should be back on track next week~! Here's a quick little ficlet to make up for it, with two headcanons in one!
Headcanon: 1. Since he was born an angel, Urushihara has a natural talent for singing and 2. Urushihara knows the Cup Song
The Voice of an Angel
Urushihara's fingers tapped out a rhythm on the desk as he scrolled through yet another webpage on human myths and legends. He absentmindedly hummed along as Ashiya went to put on his shoes.
"I'll be back in an hour or two," he said, turning to look at the shut-in, "And remember Ms Kamazuki is home so don't even think about pulling anything while I'm gone or I guarantee she'll be here and I will hear about it."
"Yeah, yeah, I know the drill, just get going."
Ashiya left with a scoff and a roll of his eyes. Urushihara continued scrolling, tapping and humming. Soon, the humming turned to singing.
"I got my ticket for the long way round, two bottle o' whisky for the way..."
Singing was something all angels were naturally gifted at, but that was exactly why he was so self-conscious about singing in front of Maou or Ashiya; it was an angel thing, not a demon thing. And he had never really liked the songs the angels of Heaven had sang. But spending so much time on the internet had opened up a variety of styles and genres that he never would have heard otherwise. It filled the empty silences and made him feel a little but less lonely when the others were out. It was relaxing.
"And I sure would like some sweet company, and I'm leaving tomorrow, what do ya say?"
He paused, getting up and walking over to the kitchen. There was still a used cup left by the sink, which he picked up and took back to his desk.
He sat down again and placed the cup on the desk in front of him. He'd found this particular song not too long ago and taken the time to learn how to tap out the rhythm like he had seen in videos.
"When I'm gone, when I'm gone... You're gonna miss me when I'm gone. You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna miss me everywhere, oh, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone."
He smiled to himself as he sang, getting more and more into it. He didn't notice how loudly his voice was ringing, or the knock on the door, or even the door creaking open, until he heard a voice behind him.
"Good Hanzo?"
"Suzuno?!"
Right, Ashiya said she was home... He'd forgotten about that. There was silence for a moment.
"... I did not know you could sing."
He immediately turned away, hiding his blush.
"Yeah, well, I am technically an angel, Bell, kinda comes with the territory."
