Long fingers tapped against the armrest of the train seat along the beat.

There weren't any lyrics to the song yet, he was still in process of making it, he wanted it to be perfect.

The teen's eyes were closed as he kept thinking back to his friends. Well... They were more like acquaintances to him, he couldn't really feel connection to those people. All they ever wanted from him was to listen to their cries and then hug them, reassuring them, never paying attention to his needs.

No, friendships didn't work like that.

The once so wild black hair had been tamed with lot of time this morning when he left to meet a certain man who had requested to meet him, a possible patron who had been willing to give him support for his music creation. It turned out that he was actually from pretty well known corporation within the music business and wanted him to make a deal with them. Luckily, he had pretended to send someone in his stead to talk with the man and heard his talk, his motives, and had then kindly declined claiming that the person, the mysterious singer called Primo, wasn't interested in becoming a traveling artist nor to make such deals before he left the meeting place, bowing slightly as he left.

His real name was Naoki, Naoki Oda, but the internet knew him as "Primo", an utaite whose real name and home land was a mystery. Primo, whose range went from tenor to the mezzo-soprano. It wasn't that usual thing it seemed, Naoki had learned this during his school years and kept quiet about it, not even his closest "friends" knew about his talent.

His phone suddenly buzzed signaling him about getting a message.

The brand new touchscreen was flicked open as the singer checked which app it was.

«Oh... It's just that one app for meeting new people.. I have been invited into a chat group it seems... « he thought as he clicked the icon and started to chat with them.

Tenn had been excited to hear that one of her most frequently listened utaites was slowly starting to make a break from being just an artist who makes covers. Rumors had been flying around whispering the person was writing their own songs now.

As she kept talking about the utaite, Primo, a new person joined the chat.

Something in the person and their way of talking made her think about the mystery utaite, but she couldn't tap a finger on what it was.

Erir was... Polite and well behaved person it seemed, he answered to the questions asked, but guarded his personal information. It was as if they didn't want anyone to get close.

They got even more careful when she asked them if they had heard about Primo.

[Erir]:«Yes, I have, though I don't listen to the songs that often. They're mainly covers after all, hopefully they'll start making their own songs soon»

Blonde haired girl sat down to her seat in the train, blue eyes briefly checking who she was sitting opposite of.

A black haired boy wearing white earmuffs was staring at his phone, his eyes were halflidded as if he was about to fall asleep. Half of his face was covered by a black mask like the ones you would wear when you're sick and forced to go outside of the house, the mask had cat whiskers on it.

He was wearing a jacket that had red, black and green pattern on it similar to the pattern Scottish kilts had. Around his neck was a light blue scarf that hung loosely, his dark blue jeans and brown shoes completing the winter look. From the looks of it, he was listening to music.

The girl, Tenn, sat down, and lift her phone up to resume to the chatting.

Naoki opened his eyes a little bit more and blinked, when had the seat opposite him been filled, he didn't know.

The petite girl looked cute in her pastel blue coloured jacket and skirt, it looked like she was coming from school taken in the style of the skirt, white knee socks and black shoes only making this fact more likely. A pastel rosa scarf was tied around her neck, partially covering her face, but she didn't seem to mind.

Her skin was pale yet healthy looking as to oppose Naoki's own pale skin that made him look sick because of lack of sunlight. Her mid length hair was blonde and untied, it was slightly wavy too. Blue eyes stared concentrated at her phone screen behind her red glasses.

As if sensing that she was being stared at, the girl lifted her head up curiously. Quickly, Naoki closed his eyes and turned his head to look out of the window where the sceneries changed with fast speed.

Ah... His stop was soon, he'd have to get up.

Tenn looked at the boy curiously as he got up from his seat and straightened his clothes. Tenor carried into her ears as the male had started to hum to himself, not paying attention to the other passengers.

"You aren't mad, but sometimes you fall, to the ground, slowly we'll move, but you'll stay alive, crazy you aren't, but now it's a bit tough", the silent singing made her eyes widen as she recognized the slightly muffled voice.

The boy stopped on his tracks and took out the phone, writing something down, most likely the words he had just sung.

Nodding to himself with satisfied look, he exited the train leaving behind a baffled teenager whose mouth was open in surprise and eyes wide open from shock.

Once he was outside of the train, Naoki's phone buzzed again. Checking the messages, he froze as he saw one particular one in the app.

[Nyubun]:«I THINK THAT I JUST SAW PRIMO»

He suddenly regretted leaving his house today.

The cold wind of January ruffled his hair as if mocking him and his thoughts. It started to snow soon after, the tiny frozen ballerinas of the sky danced around him, getting stuck on his hair and clothes.

«Maybe I should stand here for the next century.... Yeeeah... That sounds good to me.... IshouldvebeenmorecarefulNaokiyouidiot«

In the train that was now headed to the next stop, a certain teenage girl was squirming in delight and beaming happily.

Trains are truly magical places, you never know who you'll meet.
