Song of the Heart

Chapter four: Holy Shit

(Yeah, obviously curse warning... ahaha)

Sanemi’s POV
"You did?" No shit. Clearly, I like it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said so. I sigh and reply back as nicely as I can. It's not his fault he's such an idiot. Well it is but whatever I fucking guess. "Yes, I think your voice mixes nicely with my piece." I decide to add another sentence because clearly this man needs everything spelled out word for word. "Would you try one of my other pieces to sing with? I want to know how you would deal with some of my other works." A slow reply by him, but still a reply regardless.
"Why?" Now he is actually pissing me off. Clearly, I am interested in his voice. "I'm possibly considering you to do a song with me. If you'd like to. Obviously." I had to add the last word. Sass. I'm so fucking full of it but I can't help it. Especially with my temper, but it doesn't matter. I look over at Genya playing Adore You by Harry Styles on just dance. He almost falls, and I bark a laugh. He glares at me, and I just laugh a bit harder, and my phone dings. I look down to see another message by him. "Oh. :)"
What the hell? What reaction is that? The smiley face? It looked so stupid but kind of cute at the same time, and that itself was irritating. I text back, just saying I will be waiting and I turn my phone off. Genya looks over at me when the song, dance, shit is done.

"Who are you texting? Is it your snake friend?"

"Obanai? No, you shithead. Just some guy on tiktok, that's all."

That seemed to get even more of his attention. He practically jumps over and gets all up in my personal space. I roll my eyes, and he tries to snatch my phone. I move it away, but even if he did get it, it's turned off and locked. He doesn't know my password. I smirk.

"Nice try slow poke."

"Oh, come on! At least tell me about him? You talking to anyone new is so strange! Ooo, wait, do you think he's hot or something?"

My ears probably tint a slight shade of red. Not because I do think this Giyuu Tomioka is hot but because that is such a crazy embarrassing accusation. If anything, the guy is more cute and goofy. I try to shake my brother off me because now he's practically hovering over me.

"Okay, okay! I will tell you a little bit about him. Get off me!"

He giggles and backs off, and I just scoff. He really has no personal boundaries, does he? I sigh and ruffle my hair just a bit, and then he sits down on the floor across from me on the couch.

"So..? What is he like?"

"He's stupid, kind of reminds me of your friend."

"Tanjiro?"

"The red head? Nah, not him, the long-haired boy who I thought was a girl at first."

"Muichiro?"

"Yeah, him."

He just laughs. I'm not wrong. They both seem like quiet types with long black hair. I then slowly explain that his tiktok account is also a musical one. He posts his singing to others' creations or covers. Then Genya is practically trying to give me puppy dog eyes to show him. I shake my head and pull out my phone, opening the app back open and motioning for him to come over here. So he scrambles up off his ass and sits on the couch next to me to see the latest video.
It plays, and once again, I hear his melodious voice singing along to my tunes. It's nice, and actually listening to it for a second time makes me realize just how much effort he has put into it all. Making his own lyrics, matching with the harmony and blending into a song of our own. Genya smiles and practically shakes my shoulders.

"Dude, he's amazing! Kind of reminds me of like a male Billie Elish. With his soft tone voice and all. He's definitely a perfect singer for your great work, Nemi."
