LOUDER (Brett x Eddy) |N|

((Author's note: A ｇｅｉ fanfic? This is new... NOT! I've been exposed to it for years now, I'm confident I can make one *takes inspiration from a Bang Dream song* Yes, very original.)) ((It's supposed to be here oops sorry ANYWAY..))

[[BRETT'S POV]]

It's been years since I moved out from Brisbane. We still see each other every once in a while, but there's this part of me that's empty when you're not around.

I still go out to parties like I do. It's fun, but I don't seem to have that smile on my face unlike back when I was there.

Even playing the violin feels different. I could no longer feel the emotions when I play. It's like I never meant to play in the first place. What is the meaning of making music when no one hears it?

I then hear an unfamiliar tune. I usually get annoyed when my neighbor plays that loud music. Sometimes I don't mind since it's often Japanese. The sound grows louder and louder as it progresses. That's some slow crescendo.

Louder...！
You're my everything
【You're my everything】
輝き溢れゆくあなたの音は
私の音でtry to...伝えたいの
I'm movin' on with you
【movin' on with you】
届けたいよ全て
あなたがいたから私がいたんだよ
No more need to cryきっと

Nothing more than the usual from my neighbor. But am I crazy? I'm hearing your voice instead of the usual full female voice. You're calling me out using this horrid noise? No, I must be hallucinating. I should be practicing now, or should I? I check the clock near the fireplace; said it's 2:00 in the afternoon. Guess I should go practice.

Or so I thought. This sound I consider noise is intriguing me. For the first time in my life, I hear notes in apparent screaming. I feel the odd harmony flow within me. It's a new feeling, yet so familiar.

I remember the times we were together. That time we first met at that maths tutoring and saw each other again at orchestra. The fun times we had since then. Talking about starting TwoSet together. Doing all those videos together. Me deciding to find better pastures at Sydney. They're all coming back to me.

Without you, I'm growing weaker and weaker. However, I remember why I did this. I'm here to chase a dream. It was fun having you around. I hear the noise reaching its peak. Usually this is the point I shut them up by going there and telling them to keep it down. This time, I hear your voice loud and clear.

Louder...!
You're my everything!

You're my everything too, Eddy. I want to tell you how much you mean to me. Because you were there, I was there too. We chased down a dream. A world more accepting of our music. A chance for our song to be heard. We did that already. It's my turn to chase my other dream; to be a soloist.

No more need to cryきっと

Feel alive

The doorbell began to ring. Brett opened the door. It was his neighbor who played rock music in the afternoon.

"Can you keep it down?"
