I swear this song is so stupid.
You thought as you sat inside of the studio, chin resting comfortably but tiredly in hand as you watched your best friend sing in the recording booth. He literally had been doing take after take. It was daylight when y'all had first entered in the studio, you were positive it was late in the evening now.
Removing his bulky headphones and coming out of the booth, Prince had a smirk on his features as he pressed the playback to hear the song. You groaned internally, placing your head in your hands, feeling the beginning of a severe headache coming on. Sure, you thought at first it would be fun and exciting to watch your best friend in his natural element but you didn't realize that making music was definitely a long process. It didn't help that he was a complete and utter perfectionist too. If the slightest sound or note was off to him, he had to redo everything. "Well? What you think? It's a hit?" Prince asked, looking closely for your reaction and it took a minute for you to answer.
Truth be told, all you were thinking about at that moment was finally getting a bite to eat and calling it a night. You were tired as hell. He suddenly snapped his fingers right in your face and you glared at him underneath your long eyelashes. You always hated whenever he'd do that.
"Whaaat?" You whined and he rolled his eyes, taking a seat next to you and you watched the way his slender fingers played with the knobs of the control board. He looked over at you, attempting to ask again of your opinion. "Eaaarth to Y/N what do you think of the track?"
"It's um, cool I guess? Is this for the new album right?" Prince's face fell. "It's cool you guess?" He mimicked your voice, shaking his head at your unenthusiasm. "Girl This shit is fire! What are you talkin about" he leaned comfortably back in the chair he was sitting in, his head nodding to the loud thumping beat. "There's something missing though...I just don't know what" You hummed in response, not really caring. You really just wanted to go the hell home at this point. Suddenly you felt his gaze on you, a mischievous glint in his hazel orbs and you braced yourself. Lord. Whenever he gets that look in his eye either something really good is about to happen or something absolutely horrible.
"What if you sing it with me Y/N?" Prince asked in seriousness and you literally choked on your saliva. "W-What?" I'm not a singer!" "Hey, you never know until you try" was Prince's response as he grabbed you hand, practically dragging you into to recording booth behind him. "Here out these on" he handed you a pair of the bulky headphones as he continued, the excitement literally pouring out of him. "My vocal is already there so you can just follow what I'm saying" Noticing the look of slight fear in your eyes he was quick to give you a reassuring smile. "Aw trust me girl, you'll do fine. If you suck ass, no one will hear it anyway. I'll just erase your vocal that's all" he gave a shrug before walking out into the area that you had once sat at, pressing the play button and the dreamy but slightly trippy instrumental loudly filled your ears.
There's a gentle Autumn breeze that blows whenever we be lying, lying in my bed.
The moon appears and disappears you look at me my clothes I quickly, I quickly shed...
Once you finally finished your part you quickly removed your headphones, practically throwing them off as your headed back towards where Prince was. "Well?" You asked hesitantly, your heart pounding already feeling the embarrassment creep up however Prince remained silent, simply hitting the playback button and you were DEFINITELY in shock.
"What the hell?" You spoke then, amazed at how actually good you sounded. You weren't even really trying! You also couldn't get over how your vocals blended so well with Prince's. The shit sounded absolutely beautiful.
"I think that's what it was missing...your voice"
he spoke with a sincere smile as he pulled you into his warm embrace for a hug. "And don't worry, I'll make sure definitely get royalties girl" he gave a soft kiss on your forehead, making you dance along with him to the music and you couldn't help but laugh, shyly smiling back at him. Only your best friend.
