Colors of Happiness Part 5 (Soramafu & Evesou)

The soft wind blowing through the windows. The sakura petals falling and dancing along with the wind. The sounds of students running on the field in the background as they were cheerfully talking to each other.

All of that was blended out by the clashing sounds coming from the music room as all the students looked at that direction in confusion.

"One more time, Soraru-san! One more time!", an albino exclaimed in encouragement as the raven-haired male only let out a frustrated sigh, hitting some random keys with his hands which made a loud, clashing sound.

"I swear to god... If I could leave because you can find another accompanist then I would have. Now that I think about it, we haven't even practiced together once so I think it wouldn't be much of a big deal if I just go home now.", Soraru said as he moved to stand up and go to his bag.

But Mafumafu knew what he was trying to do as he immediately clung onto the older male's stomach, pressing his cheek against the other's back as he tried to stop the raven-haired male from leaving.

"Nooooo, you can't leave when we've come this far already!", Mafumafu exclaimed as he tried to pull the older male back only for him to slowly get pulled towards the exit.

"Yes, I can. Especially since all you ever did was say that I could do it and nothing else. For all I know, you could be the crappiest violinist there is who tries to gain popularity through some former "prodigy"", Soraru said as the younger male gasped in response.

"How can you say that? For your information, I know that I'm a decent violin player!", Mafumafu said as he put his hands on his hips, puffing his chest out in pride.

"I am even the audience's favorite!", he added as the older male just hummed before trying to open the door, only for Mafumafu to notice and quickly cling onto the raven-haired male again.

"Nooooooo, don't goooooo!", the albino whined as the older male felt so annoyed that he almost wanted to pick the other male up and just throw him out of the window.

Honestly, he thought about doing it before but for some reason, he just knew that the albino would come back. And Eve had already told him that doing something like that was "not nice" so the raven-haired male could only do that in his thoughts.

Even so, he really had second thoughts on doing this. Especially with him not being able to play the piece well enough and the concert being today. Mafumafu would be better off with a professional accompanist rather than him.

"I—"

"Sora-san, you won't think about letting Mafumafu-san down, will you?", a mushroom-haired male asked after he had opened the door, a smile playing on his face as the oldest looked at the other male in annoyance. "Eve, you...", Soraru cut himself off when he saw a shorter, blond male hiding behind the artist.

Eve who noticed the older male looking behind him, smiled as he explained. "Ah, right. You haven't met yet. Sora-san, this is Sou-kun, a member of the arts club. Sou-kun, this is—"

"S-Soraru-san?", Sou asked confused as the raven-haired male tilted his head. "...Yes?"

"The once famous pianist prodigy Soraru-san?", the blond male repeated confused as the older male sighed. "Yes, that's me."

"B-but... Eve-san said that you'd play the piano... Can you... um...", Sou trailed off as he didn't know how to state his question without being impolite.

Luckily for him, Soraru understood as he answered his unfinished question. "I still can't hear my playing. Well, I can still hear it in the beginning but it slowly stops while I play.", Soraru said, proceeding to explain when he saw that the younger male was still confused.
