*BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP--*

"Shut it." I groaned slamming my hand on the alarm clock beside me. All that happened that it fell to the ground and continued to beep. I rolled my eyes and picked it up, turning it off and looking at the time.

6:03 am.

"You are 3 minutes late."
"HYAAAAH!" I screamed falling off the couch and groaning to myself. Mikaze looked down at me, slightly tilting his head. "You are doing foolish things that don't make sense."
"What the HELL man! Don't you know a thing called personal space!?" I snapped rubbing my head.
".... I don't like that tone." he narrowed his eyes.
..... Holy SNA- THE ACT!
"EEEP, s-sorry Mikaze-senpai! I-I can be a bit grumpy in the morning... I-I beg your pardon!" I bowed deeply after I stood up.
"...." he sighed. "Make sure it doesn't happen again."
"H-Hai!" I nodded.
"Hurry up. I expect you to be at the music room by 6:30," he said bluntly, leaving the room.
Immediately I dropped my smile and started raging, clenching my fists and making annoyed sounds, gritting my teeth.
"By the way." Mikaze popped his head back in and I quickly put my smile back on. "All of your belongings arrived 57.8 minutes ago. Although I don't quite get it, someone knocked and when I opened the door no one was there, just your stuff."
I sweatdropped a bit, widening my eyes for a second. "Oh... uh. Sorry. My brother's a bit... shy, he must've run off before you opened the door."
"..." he slowly nodded. "Pack away your things and prepare yourself," he told me then left.
In 30 minutes, pack away all of my stuff AND prepare myself.
Welp holy crap... I better hurry up.

~■♡■~

I finished preparing myself and I quickly looked at my alarm clock.
6:28 am.
"HOLY NACHOS!" I yelped grabbing the stuff I need and sprinting away to the music room.

I kicked open the door. "I'M HERE!" I snapped leaning on my knees and trying to catch my breath.
Mikaze looked at me then at the clock.
"It's 6:31."
..... AND!? OH COME ON DON'T YOU DARE PUNISH ME FOR ONE FREAKING MINUTE.
He sighed. "You are staying one minute longer."
... I suppose I can live with that.
"Sit down," he ordered and I awkwardly sat on the chair beside him. "... So what exactly will we be doing right now...?"
He looked at me blankly. "Singing, of course."
Touché, Sherlock.
"I'll start singing a song, join if you know it," he told me, clearing his throat.
(A/N: Writing the lyrics from pure mind, so I apologize if something's not right.)
"Yuki ga marude sakura no you... uh, Silent White."

I raised my eyebrow a bit.
Singing your own song? Narcissist.
With a quiet sigh, I quickly joined him.
"Hirari hirari tenohira ni
Maiochite kiete yuku yo."
I almost gaped at how well our voices fitted together. I closed my eyes and continued to sing along with Mikaze.
His voice is really soothing... It's surprisingly calming.

"Kisu de oou yoni yorisoi atatame au to
Tsutau kimi no kodou ni naze ka
Chotto dake mune ga kurushikute

Ne, kamisama? Boku ni kokoro ga
Futto yadotta toshita naraba
Kanojo to onaji kanjou no
Tatta hitoshizuku kanaete kudasai

Saigo wa egao de nakanaide hoshii
Zettai ni kyou wo wasurenai kara
Boku wa kimi no naka ikitsudzukete yuku
Ai oo... uh arigato
Bye-Bye, My Dear"

(A/N: And I feel like crying again. Good job Sakura X'D)

I slowly opened my eyes again, just to stare back into Mikaze's blue orbs. He nodded, then grabbed his notebook.
"Voice control: check.
Harmony: check.
Singing with heart: ...... needs work... but check."
"Lame check-list: check." I raised an eyebrow at him, making him look up at me with a cold glance. "... Sorry."
"... That was the last one I tolerated," he muttered glaring at me a bit, then continued to scribble in his notebook.
"... By the way..."
"One more of your sharp lines and I'm making your schedule twice as strict." he hissed not looking up.
"I-I didn't want to say anything like that... I was just wondering that... isn't Saotome acting a bit too weirdly for a boss?"
He stopped writing for a second.
"... He is tiring us more than he should be," he said simply.
"Isn't that annoying?"
"No..." he said, then corrected himself, "Rarely, I got used to it."
He looked up at me. "Why do you ask?"
"... Uhm..." I played with my fingers a bit. "... I don't want to... get in your things and stuff... but maybe with you and your high-level work, you should deserve some more uh... normal and serious boss."
Can't be said about father.
"... I'm perfectly satisfied with Shining's leadership," he said.
"Y-Yeah and he is a good boss, I'm not saying he isn't!" I waved my hands quickly. "... I'm just saying... He seems to have some... problems."
"I don't quite get why are we talking about this."
"... I..." I brushed a piece of my hair behind my ear, "I'm just concerned about you... your work."
He looked up at me again, his blue orbs staring into mine for a few seconds.
"... You are dismissed. I have to write your schedule." he told me bluntly, standing up and walking out of the room.
I opened my mouth to say something but shut up and watched him leave.
How should I do this...
