This a short story enjoy
Hitori Gotou had been lying on her futon all morning just staring at up the ceiling lost in though, the darken room only being illuminated by the LED neon lights from her lamp was the only source of light in the room, but why is Hitori Gotou doing this you ask? It was because she was indulging into something she enjoyed more besides guitar and that was vaporwave.
It was a genre of music that at first she hated and wrote it off as a gimmick but over time going down the rabbit hole of it she became a fan, it made her mind calm and blocking out the self loathing voices that she had to deal with every day.
"I want to be…like this forever" Hitori said closing her eyes and just taking it in,the sounds of synth piano keys, spacey beeps and the whole aesthetic of it, time didn't matter to her at all and just the fact she didn't have to deal with the worries of the world was a enough.
When she finally to decided to open her eyes she was met with a pair of green eyes staring back at her, realizing there was also someone in the room with her caused Hitori to jolt up with such force that almost sent her headphones flying off of her head.
"Kita san…why are you..here?" Hitori realizing that the person was indeed Ikuyo Kita fellow her classmate and lead vocalist from the band she's a part of, Kita looked at Hitori not saying anything and took a seat on Hitori's gaming chair the usual Kit-aura the extrovert had always radiated was that of dejected lost cat.
Hitori knowing Kita long enough she knew why her friend was acting like this,"you..had a fight with her parents again?" Hitori said meekly with Kita looking at Hitori noded, "their.. I don't know what's wrong with them", Kita said about to pure out of her emotions to Hitori , "It's OK Kita san you can let it out I'll listen", Hitori said encouraging her friend.
Kita took a deep breath and began to explain what had happen, she got it fight with her parents over buying a overdrive pedal,"you remember that MXR Timmy I bought Hitori chan", "They got pissed because if much it costed and calling it a wast of money even thought it was from the money I earned from a paid gig!" Kita continue ,"they even tried to take my gear away saying the only reason they got me a guitar in the first place was thinking I was just going spend a short time on it and give up, now that I'm in a band their telling me I wont be a good member of society and to honest I really don't know I want to", I can't see myself doing the corporate office rat race after seeing through out the years how that has impacted my father", Kita looked down at the floor with teary eyes about to just pour,"I always see him angry, tried and emotionally drained and my mother is always worrying how I'm not living up to their expectations and resents the fact that I'm in band and doing my own thing instead of focusing on getting a corporate job".
Hitori just stayed quite and let Kita continue ,"I kind of envy you..know that..your parents are supportive, hell your father brought you in to the world of guitar and even helped you with your YouTube channel to the point your making money from it my dad would never do that,"it's not only you, Ryo and Nijika to..I envy them too even thought it's selfish for me to so.
It was with that statement Kita began to rant,"I'm sick of fighting with them..I'm always putting on the happy go lucky face to everyone but I know deep down I do that to get attention because its easier getting attention from strangers than my parents", "Kita san it's alright",Hitori putting Kita into a hug,"you don't have to rant anymore..you can cry".
Kita burying her face into Hitori's chest and just cried, cried and cried for what it seem like a never ending loop,for what it seem like forever until Kita stopped and the two just stayed there in silence embracing each-other, "umm hey Kita I know something to help clear your mind", Kita still not moving just answer Hitori with a low husky "what?" Hitori pulled Kita out of their embrace and took her hand and guided Kita to her futon."Here lay there and don't move", Hitori said as she gently laid Kita down on the futon and move towards her computer and with sounds of a few clicks the sounds of ambient vaporave echo through out the room, Kita taken back by this as she never heard this type of music before.
"You like this music Kita san?" "it's called vaporwave", Hitori said laying down next to Kita, "this music always calms me down no matter what bad things are happening in my life I always find peace in it", Hitori said while looking up at the ceiling.
"This music reminds of space…I love space…astronomy because of it's pure stillness" Hitori said while Kita was half listing and lost in thought looking up at the ceiling as well ,"Hey Hitori can I hold your hand?" Kita asked while still looking up at the ceiling, instead of just answering her Hitori just locked her hand to kita's.
The two band-mates lied there in the darken room with the only neon lights illuminating and the synth melody of the vaporave playing in the background for what it seem like hours until Hitori spooked,"you can spend the night if you want Kita and if your parents are really against you having guitar gear and stuff you can leave your gear here I'll keep it safe"," you know I'll graduate next year and we won't see each other that much even in the band too but know you always have a place here I promises".
Kita after hearing this tighten her grip on Hitori,"Hey Hitori …when you get your own place can I move in with you?" Kita asked.
Hitori turn to face Kita and the two just stare at each-other until Hitori answered.
"Yeah..I like that ideal Ikuyo"
