You make your impact, I'll make mine (Kiro)

I had so much fun with this, (also I made one Kiro oneshot and didn't make any more for a long while uh my bad?)

A high school/music school/no Evol AU

Inspired by Kiro's real backstory, but not direct translation of it.

-

His favorite time of the day was always the tailend. After the wave of constant homework, sports and tests, he wanted nothing more to quit them all, and focus on music and music alone. But, of course his instructors would never allow that to happen, so his one escape was the small period of time between the final bell and curfew.

He climbs the familiar stairway, onto the top floor of the prestigious academy in the center of Paris, France and opens the races into the music room, carefully shutting the door without noise behind him. Clutching a new piece of music close to his chest, he sighs with relief.

What he hadn't realized until then, was that someone had already beat him to his safe haven. Following the grand halls' stairs going downward, someone sat at its center platform, fully engrossed by the music of their own. Something classical, played beautifully on the shining grand piano.

Kiro was stunned, and equally as engrossed. He walked down the steps carefully, his footsteps light as to not interrupt. But with this room especially designed to carry sound, his footsteps immediately catch their ear.

The girl, with pale brown hair tied up and out of her face, opened her eyes, and turned to face Kiro.

'Oh!' She quickly pushes her hair back and gets to her feet, bowing formally at the golden haired boy. 'I'm so sorry! I just found this room and this piano looked so beautiful and I just couldn't help myself!'

She didn't wear a uniform like his, spotting a blue striped dress instead. And, more obviously noted, she didn't speak french, with no sign of a french accent at all.

'No, it's fine!' Kiro smiles reassuringly, finally meeting her at the center stage standing only a few feet away. 'I came here to do the same thing you were doing, actually.'

She looks up, scanning his appearance as she does so.

'You came here to play in secret?' her eyes narrow.

'Yeah,' he laughs bashfully. 'I don't really have time to play during the day. But, you can't tell anyone else this!'

'I won't.' she giggles. 'Only if...'

'Only if?'

'I can listen to you play? If it isn't too much to ask.'

'Of course! I was about to play something new I've written...'

The two sit together at the piano bench. Filling the bleak room with newfound light, as they played and rewrote and relistened. Kiro had hardly noticed his alarm ringing signaling 10 minutes until curfew.

'Oh my god, I'm going to be late!' he grabs his sheets of music, stuffing them into his bag as the girl looks at the time herself.

'Time sure flies, huh?' she comments.

'Especially when you're having fun! That's how the saying goes, right?'

She laughs, even her voice is like a song. 'Right. I had a lot of fun.'

'You don't think...' Kiro begins, standing up straight and turning to directly face her. 'Could we do this again? Play together, I mean?'

Her face blushes pink. 'Of course! Though, should you really be asking that before you ask for my name?'
