****************************************

It was a late July afternoon in Trost District. The people in the street were sweating from the sweltering heat. Of course, the kids loved it, they all played tag in the streets. Commander Erwin actually told all of the scouts that they didn't have to wear their tan jackets if they didn't want to. As predicted, every single scout removed their jackets and put them in their rooms. I sat in my office with my old box fan pointing at me on high. 

"Ugh, this weather sucks." I thought to myself as I signed another paper and put it aside to return to Erwin. Silently, I cursed whoever wished for this horrid, sticky, and humid weather. I unbuttoned the top two buttons of my dress shirt, hoping that would cool me off some.

Suddenly, I heard someone start playing what sounded to be an electric guitar. At first, it was annoying, but then it was actually some amazing playing! It sounded like the actual song. My only question: who could it be? As I exited my office, I tried to follow the noise of the amp. 

"It's Mike by the way." Levi's voice entered my ear. I turned to see him leaning against the wall in only a t-shirt, doing some paperwork on a clipboard.

"Oh. I didn't know he could play that well..." I replied as I tried to hide the obvious blush on my face. I've always liked Mike and his guitar playing, but I had no idea how good he had gotten over the past couple of weeks. With those skillful fingers of his, I wonder what else he could do, especially to my-

"Well? You just gonna stand there blushing like an idiot or what?" Levi interrupted my naughty little fantasy. I quickly nodded my head, nervously gulped, and continued in the direction of Mike's office. Damn, why was I so horny? Was it the heat that made me think this way?

Though I knew he wouldn't hear it, I softly knocked on Mike's office door. The guitar abruptly stopped, so either he heard it or he smelled me. His sense of smell was incredible, after all. 

"Come on in (Y/N)." He called from behind the door. Of course he smelled me, I thought to myself. This guy is like a dog. But not a huge slobbery one, almost like a German Shepherd or something.

"Sorry, I didn't think you heard me knocking anyway." I replied bashfully as I looked around his office. It was neat, tidy, and smelled like citrus.

"Yeah, I didn't hear you over this." Mike nodded to his electric guitar, which he supported on his lap while he sat on the floor against his desk. "You know, you don't really have to knock." He twisted one of the tuners and gently strummed the 5th string. 

"It's just a habit. Sorry."

"Don't be sorry, you're not in trouble or anything." Mike seemed a bit out of it, probably because I interrupted his jam session. Suddenly, his face lit up as he moved his eyes to meet mine. "Hey, do you play electric by any chance?" I was shocked for a moment. He wanted me... of all people to be his secondary guitar player. I was honestly flattered.

"Yeah. I know a few chords." I replied in a cheerful tone. He smiled and pointed to another electric guitar, which leaned against the couch. It was a metallic black with a blue tint to it. A very beautiful guitar indeed.

"Great, would you mind playing with me for a bit?" I blushed and widened my eyes as the exact opposite meaning of those words came to mind. Even though I knew he meant music when he said 'playing with me', it's almost as if he worded it like that on purpose.

Instead of just standing there like an idiot, as Levi says it, I nodded my head, grabbed the guitar, and sat cross-legged across from Mike. He picked up his phone and scrolled through what looked to be SoundCloud (yall know what i mean here right😏)

"Can you also sing or no? It's okay if you don't want to." Mike asked as he clicked on something. Suddenly, some drums started playing through the amp. At the same time, he started playing some nice acoustic-sounding chords on his own guitar. I didn't respond as I also started strumming the basslines. Suddenly, the song all clicked together with our two guitars and the drums in the background. Our very own cover of Touch, Peel, and Stand by DOTN echoed around the office, and probably heard by people passing by as well.

"I'll do backing vocals!" I told Mike over the sound of the guitar. He smiled at me and nodded before focusing back on the guitar. I watched his fingers smoothly gliding over the frets, creating beautiful sounding chords...until-

"Hey!" The door swung open to reveal a flustered, sweaty-looking Erwin. Mike quickly stumbled to pause the song, and we both stopped playing.

"Too loud?" Mike asked him. Erwin shook his head and sighed.

"I don't mind you two playing, but please, don't play heavy metal. Play something nice and calm, okay? I can't focus with all this noise." With that order, he slammed the door. We listened to his receding footsteps.

"Sorry Mike." I apologized with a sad smile. He shook his head with a pissed off look, completely brushing off my words.

"If he's gonna scold us like we're fucking preschoolers, he should at least get the genre right." Was that really all he picked up from that lecture? "Days of the New is acoustic rock, not heavy metal. Stupid asshole..." Subconsciously, I cracked up laughing at that. Mike had exactly what was called selective hearing.

"I-I'm sorry Mike, but that's just...okay, okay, I'm calmed down now." I stifled my last few laughs and readjusted my posture. He smiled and gave a little chuckle of his own.

"Don't be sorry, pup. How about we do something by RHCP?" He asked me. I thought for a moment, then looked at him as soon as my eyes lit up.

"Let's do Scar Tissue, that's very..." I cleared my throat in order to do my best Commander Eyebrows impression, "'nice and calm.'" Mike laughed a little before playing the opening. I soon joined with the bassline. Then, we both started singing, him on lead, and me on background. I was happy being the supporting vocals, as long as he was the leader. 

It was like you could see the hearts in the air. Well, you obviously could see the blush on both of our faces. Right after this song, I'm telling him my true feelings. Who cares what others think? I certainly don't.
