Stuck In The Middle With You - (A Male Reader x Yamato Maya Fanfiction)

Prologue

It's one cold morning.

I wake up early to open up my father's music instruments shop. Our shops is fairly known around town and outside as well, that's why this kind of business is working out for us even thought there are other musical instruments stores within the town itself.

Dawn's Wake Music.

Is what the sign says.

I go inside and start setting up shop.

I tune every single guitar that's out for display. I also tune the basses and the drums.

My father is a huge fan of drums. He used to be a drummer with his friends in highschool called "Dawn".

In fact, that's probably where he got the name for the shop. To honor their times together.

Me? I'm also quite knowledgeable when it comes to instruments.

But I man the Bass.

Yes. It's the simplest instrument on bands.

(Sorry to bassists abou this comment! Blame Anon, not me! I absolutely love bassists!)

It doesn't stand out that much, and it doesn't make too much sound and is usually not noticable.

My dad taught me how to play the bass when I was little, just so he could have someone accompany him as he brings out a beat. And I did enjoy it.

That's why I still play until this day!

I'm a simple guy.

But I want to dream big and achieve something big!!!

I just don't know what I want yet....

So I'm spending time helping out the family business.

Although lately...

There's been an increase in customers. It's almost to the point where I can't tend to everyone by myself.

Which is weird! Cause you don't get this much people on music shops anyways!

I think it's because of the recent rise to popularity of these so called "Girl's band" that I've been hearing about.

"Oh well.... I guess I have no choice but to man the shop alone again today.." I said.

I had accepted my fate.

I would spend my weekends manning the shop all day. And on the afternoon until evening on weekdays.

My dad said he could always switch out but... I have nothing better to do anyways.

Plus, I do somewhat like this job anyways.

So I'll push through!

It's been 3 hours since the store opened. And our first customer for today has arrived.

Ah, another highschool girl.

"Welcome~" I greet them with the most energetic expression I can.

I can't last much longer with these...

She slowly walks up to me.

"How may I help you today?" I asked her.

"Uhmmm... Do you think you can check out my bass for me? It sounds all weird now.... I don't know what to do...." The girl said.

She's a little shy, but alright then.

"Are you gonna be asking maintenance on this bass?" I asked her.

"Yes please!" She said.
