Chapter 1: The black cat

"U-um, Soraru-san! Do you maybe know Akira and Sakiko, the film producer and the actress?", Mafumafu asked as he expected a no but instead the male just smiled slightly.

"Yeah, yeah, I do.", and that's when Mafumafu was sure that he found the person he searched for. "They're famous after all.

Even I know of them.", Soraru added as Mafumafu's hopeful face sunk. "Eh? So you don't know them personally?", Mafumafu asked as Soraru shook his head.

"Why would I? I'm not into film production and things like that. I'm just some musician, preferring classical music, who heard of them through my classmates.", Soraru explained as Mafumafu nodded feeling his mood going down.

"Anyway, you should unpack your things. They're going to make you start pretty early so it's best if you get enough rest until then.", Soraru said as he put his headphones back on and lied down closing his eyes. Mafumafu did as he was told and finished unpacking as he looked over to his senior who was lying completely still.

Mafumafu, being the curious person he was, walked over as he crouched down. The music was so loud that he could hear it even though he wasn't even wearing the headphones.

Besides Soraru there were several music sheets scattered as Mafumafu took some out of curiosity. Some were from famous composers that Mafumafu heard sometime at school at some point.

He thought it was weird how the titles were all in a different language. He picked up one of the thin books which contained the music sheets that peeked his interest. It looked very old as if he had that for hundreds of years already.

Mafumafu didn't know what that was as he tried to pronounce it correctly. "Li-l-liebes-lied? Li—". "It's pronounced Liebesleid.", someone interrupted him as Mafumafu flinched and let the music sheets fall straight on Soraru's face.

Soraru was not amused by this as he sat up tiredly putting his headphones down. "Oi, be careful with these. They're really old and rare, you know?", Soraru informed Mafumafu as he looked at the sheets to see if they were alright.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I was just curious so I thought I could maybe take a look at it...", Mafumafu confessed as he looked down in shame.

Soraru felt guilt building up when he saw the albino looking down so he decided to say something.

"The piece is called Liebesleid also known as Love's Sorrow composed by Rachmaninoff in 1921.", Soraru told Mafumafu knowing full and well that it was probably not interesting at all but he was surprised when he saw the albino looking at him with his eyes sparkling.

"Eh, so that's what that meant! Thanks for telling me!", Mafumafu thanked Soraru who just nodded awkwardly. "It's fine... why would you want to know that though?

It's just some boring classical music to people like you.", Soraru said as Mafumafu pouted. "Well, I wanted to learn more about you, Soraru-san! And even I know some classical music!", Mafumafu said as Soraru just looked at him slightly surprised before humming. "Oh, really?

State one musical piece that you listened to then.", Soraru said crossing his arms as he looked at Mafumafu almost challenging.

Instead of answering Mafumafu started singing instead as Soraru widened his eyes when he listened to Mafumafu's song.

"Twinkle twinkle little star~ How I wonder what you are~ Up above the world so high~ Like a diamond in the sky~ Twinkle twinkle little star~ How I wonder what you are~", Mafumafu sung and then looked at Soraru waiting for a reaction.

Soraru stayed silent for a minute before his face showed a very small but visible smile. "...You have a nice voice.", Soraru complimented making Mafumafu blush.
