Nagisa looks down and puts his hands in his pockets, realizing he still had the CD from the store. He returned to the shop, “s-sorry, I, um, took this by accident, sorry..”
-
Koharu turns around. “Oh,” he takes his earphones out. He thinks for a moment. “Nah dude, keep it. It’s on the store. I just overheard what just happened. You must be pretty down. Why not have the CD for free, right?” Koharu smiles.
-
“Ah… thank you…” Nagisa puts the album back in his pocket, “Um… do you mind if I hang around here for a while?”
-
Koharu shakes his head. “No, I don’t mind at all. Also, don’t worry, feel free to play any of the instruments.”
-
“Alright.” Nagisa goes back to the bass rack, and after selecting a dark green he plugs it in and begins to improv a melody.
-
Koharu follows Nagisa, being a little curious. He tilts his head when Nagisa begins to play, he taps his foot along to the melody.
-
Nagisa notices Koharu watching him, he finishes the measure he was on then turns toward him, “Um… You want me to play anything for you?”
-
“There’s no need for you to play anything for me. Just continue playing whatever you want to play. I just love the sound it makes.” Koharu says, crossing his arms. “I don’t think I’ve introduced myself before, but, I’m Koharu.” he grins.
-
“Oh, ok…” Nagisa repositions his hand on the neck of the bass, starting up a different melody, “I’m Nagisa, first name Akihiko.”
-
“Nice,” Koharu says under his breath. “So, you play often?” he gestures towards the bass.
-
“Yes…” Nagisa says, pausing to turn one of the tuning pegs, “I don’t remember a day of my life where I haven’t.”
-
“That’s a long time.” Koharu nods, leaning against one of the shelves. “Do you professionally play?”
-
Nagisa shrugs, switching the melody to what sounded like a Bach piece, “I want to, but teacher said that I was too young and I have to learn violin and cello before I can… though I did help with a class in the college, but I didn’t get money, it was just so I don’t fail out of high school…”
-
“Ah, I understand.” Koharu taps his finger against the shelf. “So, you’re in high school, correct?”
-
Nagisa nods, “yeah, 10th grade.” He looks up to Koharu, “Are you also in school?”
