Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Tired visit

Amity POV: 

"Mittens!" I woke up with a jolt, my notebook that laid sprawled out on my lap nearly falling to the floor. Slamming my hands down on top of it so that it wouldn't, I winced when the pencil stabbed part of my leg. "Are you getting up?" 

"Give me a minute!" I called back in a husky voice, reaching out into a stretch. "Gods I'm tired..." I muttered to myself, wiping away the drool from the side of my face. Glancing at my window and the amount of light that poured into the room told me that it had to be some time around noon. 

"Well hurry up!" I heard Edric call, this time a little closer to my door. "I know you don't want to, but we've got practice today." Trying to rub the sleep from my eyes, I placed my notebook on my bed and moved over to my dresser, grabbing a random purple shirt and some shorts. 

Well, one glance at that outfit in the mirror made me change. 

After fixing my outfit, I grabbed my notebook and made my way downstairs. Both the twins were ready downstairs, with Emira was sitting at the table, wearing a long, dark grey turtleneck and bleached jeans while Edric was wearing a dark blue tank top and long shorts.

"Look who's finally up!" Emira chirped, resting her head on one hand while she drummed her fingers against the table with the other. I eyed her outfit up and down for a minute, but I didn't say anything. Moving to a wall to lean my back on, I folded my arms over my notebook. 

"Yeesh Mittens, your eyes are pretty red. Late night?" Edric asked, a smirk plastered on his face. I rolled my eyes, then gave them a bit of a rub, hoping to make some of the redness go away. His eyes slowly moved down to my notebook, then back up at me, giving me a questioning glance. 

Turning away from my brother, I faced my sister, eyeing her outfit up and down once again. "Okay, what's up with the outfit?" I asked, pointing towards her turtleneck. 

Emira shrugged, shifting her hand to rest on her cheek. "It's just comfortable." She said calmly, but her eyes held this nervous look. I could see her eyes dart down to her outfit for a second, then back up to me. Suddenly, she laughed. "Mittens why are you staring at me? Is there something on my sweater or something?" 

She pulled at the sweater, her laughter quickly dying out. It then hit me that she was probably wearing something that Viney brought her last night, or she was wearing it to cover something up. "There's nothing on your sweater Em." I muttered, deciding to drop the topic. 

"Yet." Edric shot her a malicious smile, raising his hand up and slowly drawing a spell. Emira snapped her head up when he said that, shooting him a glare. Her twin laughed, then wiped away the spell, shaking his head. He gave me a nudge, then started to walk towards the door. "Alright c'mon, let's go get this over with." 

I could feel the mood go sour, just by a little bit. Staring down at my notebook, I didn't move from my spot. Emira got out of her chair and placed a hand on my shoulder, making me tense up. I looked up at her, noticing the soft look in her eyes. 

Taking a deep breath, I started to walk towards Edric, who stood by the front door waiting for the two of us. The three of us walked out, Ed and Em instantly starting up a conversation between the two of them while I stayed quiet. A slight breeze picked up, lightly ruffling our hair as it passed.

Opening my notebook and holding down the pages while reading over the lyrics, I softly hummed the song's tune while I walked, tweaking a few words here and there. About halfway to the studio, I finally piped up. "Hey Ed?" I notice my brother perk up at my voice while I tapped my pencil against my chin. 

"Yeah?" 

"You remember how to play this song, right?" Edric laughed, giving Emira a look. 

"I remember that song like it's the back of my drum sticks!" He puffed out his chest and pounded a fist against his chest for a moment, then he froze and slouched down. "Wait... do drum sticks actually have a back side to them?" Emira licked her lips, struggling to hide her smile before she busted out laughing.
