Koharu shakes his head slowly. “Nope, graduated last year.” he bites his lip for a moment. “I just need a job before I can get into college. I need some of the money, my parents won’t pay for all of it.” he shrugs.

[Wake]

“Oh… that’s why you’re here?” Nagisa changes his melody to a somewhat swanky bassline, “Are you doing well?”

[Jazzy]

“I mean yeah. I try and work as many hours as I can. I usually come when the store opens and when it closes. I try and get here everyday of the week. I need the money.” Koharu shrugs. “I don’t really enjoy this job as much as I’d like to, but it pays pretty good money. I’d like to do like singing and stuff, but that doesn’t really happen till I get to college.”

[Wake]

“…You sing?” Nagisa puts his palm over the strings to mute the noise, “Do you wanna go now? I can back you up.” He unplugs the bass and switches to an electric guitar, playing a couple cords and adjusting the tuning.

[Jazzy]

“Yeah, I sing.” Koharu gets a little excited. “Sing, like right now? Like…now? Yes, definitely. I’ll sing…but what do we sing?” he tilts his head to the side. He stops leaning on the self.

[Wake]

“Whatever you want.” Nagisa says as he warms up with some scales, “I can play anything.”

[Jazzy]

Koharu thinks momentarily. “What about ‘Hit the road Jack’? Do you know that song?”

[Wake]

“Um… No, but if I hear it I can probably… probably manage something.” Nagisa says, looking down to his fingerboard, timidly plucking false harmonics.

[Jazzy]

“Do you want me to sing it alone?” Koharu puts his phone on the self and straightens out his shirt, looking at Nagisa.

[Wake]

Nagisa nods, “I… um, my voice is no good, not for singing at least…”

[Jazzy]

“Aw,” Koharu frowns. “I’m sure your singing is fine. But you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to. I won’t force it upon you.” he shakes his hands in front of him. Koharu grabs his phone and goes in it for a moment. “I still kinda need the lyrics to keep me on track.” he chuckles softly to himself.

Nagisa nods and begins to play a rendition of the piano part on the guitar, it sounded correct but a little different.  He simplified the melody a little so it would lend itself to guitar a little better.

[Jazzy]

Koharu positions himself next Nagisa and holds up his phone. He cracks his neck and begins to sing. (That’s the version he would sing, although he wouldn’t sound like that).

[Wake]

After they finish, Nagisa smiles, “Your voice is good.” He lays the guitar across his lap and hunches forward a little, leaning his chin on his interlocked fingers in a contemplative looking position, “…You said you wanted to sing as a job, right?” He leaned back again, “I, um, know some people and might be able to help.”

[Jazzy]

Koharu perks up a bit, looking at Nagisa. “Thank you.” he smiles. “But, really? A sing job you have to offer?”
