Jake sighs and puts his head down on the desk in the Music Club's room. He was the only one in there because he was early for practice, a new occurrence ever since Drew stopped talking to him and the other Jomies stopped eating lunch with him. His new lyrics book, something he got for his birthday, was laying open next to him.
**(Lyrics book = his special notebook dedicated to writing songs)**
He tosses his pencil across the room, where it lands next to Luke's drumset.
"I will never be able to sing this for him." Jake mutters to himself.
"Heya, Jake. Whatcha doing?" Milly says, walking into the room. She had a grin on her face and a new bandage on her forehead.
"Moping." Jake says nonchalantly.
"Well stop doing that, dumbass," Milly replies, still grinning. "Oou, what's this?" Milly picks up Jake's lyrics book, looking at the open page. A draft of a love song was written on the page.
"I- uh-" Jake doesn't know what to say.
"Who's this for~!?" Milly asks, bouncing up and down. "Who do I get to ship~?!"
"It's for no one!" Jake retorts, snatching the book back,but not aggressively.
"Aww," Milly says, but she leaves the subject be after that.
"Guess who it is," Luke says, walking into the room with Zander at his heels.
"It's the lovebirds obviously," Milly responds, chuckling.
"I'm here too," Hailey says with a smile, entering the room.
"So we're only waiting for Sean. Surprising to say the least," Luke mutters, laughing.
"Definitely," Jake says quietly, stuffing his lyrics book into the larger inside pocket of his jacket.
(As in like those hidden pockets on the inside of jackets and trenchcoats)
"I'm here-" Sean says, entering the room and looking out of breath as if he ran there from the local Starry-mart. <made up name>
"Good. That means we can practice our-" Hailey starts.
"Wait! Jake has an amazing song in his notebook we should try!" Milly intervenes.
"W- wait wha-" Jake looks at Milly. "It's just a draft a- and-"
"Jake you're awesome at songwriting, I bet it's awesome," Sean says with a smile. "But if you don't want to do it, then you don't have to."
Jake's cheeks flush a light pink. "I- uh- I mean if we can find a melody to pair with it- uhm- s- sure," he says.
Sean smiles warmly. "May I see the lyrics so I can pair a melody with it?"
"I uh- let me erase something real quick-" Jake grabs his pencil and erases a small line at the bottom of the page that says 'Jake ♡ Sean' He sighs and hands the notebook over. Sean reads over the lyrics and then starts searching through his computer and playing around with different sounds and effects.
After about five minutes, Sean plays a whole melody. It's not fast, but it isn't too slow, and it isn't super sad but it has a sad edge to it.
"That's perfect, Sean!" Hailey says happily.
"Thanks, Hails," Sean replies. "I didn't know Jake wrote confession songs."
"I was uh- just bored," Jake says quietly.
After practice..
Jake was cleaning up his things when he realized Sean was sweeping.
"Staying behind again?" He asks.
"I always do. Gotta keep Mr. Broom here some company don't I?" Sean answers.
Jake chuckles, "Heh, Guess that's fair enough."
Sean hums, sweeping still. Jake stares at him, a light blush forming on his face.
"Need something, Jake?" Sean asks.
"I- uh- n-no, no I don't- heh- s- sorry-" Jake mutters.
"You're fine, dude," Sean laughs a bit. "Is there a reason you're still staying behind?"
Jake thinks to himself, 'you.' But he says "Eh not really. I have free period now, so I don't have anywhere to be right now. Figured I'd just stay here and work on song lyrics."
"I see," Sean replies. He closed his eyes and started to hum again, sweeping still. Jake turned away to finish picking his things up.
Sean starts sweeping toward where Jake is, and just as Jake turns around to grab his bag, Sean trips and falls toward Jake.
"Agh- fuck-'' Sean says, trying not to fall, but he fails.
Jake, out of reflex, reaches out and catches Sean, dancing-dip style.
The two are left utterly speechless. Jake's face turns red, and Sean blushes a bit.
