[leo moves as he's nudged, hugging onto his brother from behind instead.]
We'll have the change that, won't we~? I'll teach you any instrument you want -- and at all, Tsuka, no matter what it may be. ♪ For now, just press the keys however you'd like and a chord will form..~
[ just press the keys however, huh... tsukasa closes his eyes the way he's seen his brother do and drifting his fingers across the board. it takes him a moment, but he slowly presses down and smiles without even thinking about it at the sound that faintly comes from the headphones around his neck. ]
[music and art are the same, in the end. you move your hand and something happens, pretty and simple. you can put plenty of simple things together to make something more complex and majestic, but basics are beautiful as well. especially to those just starting, those who're seeing building blocks for the first time.]
Mm..? Like me, huh? [...] Nope, can't teach you that. ♪ You'll usurp my spot if I teach you how to play the bass~.
[and
he doesn't want tsukasa to follow him more than he does, really. the bass isn't exactly a stepping stone in that direction, but there's just something nagging at him to deny him this.]
'Kay. Classical instruments like that aren't usually my style, but I've heard bands use them for a really unique sound..♪ If I train you well enough, maybe I'll take the keyboard and let you be my first chair.
[that'd be interesting. leo starts to play too, just with one hand, slow and aiming to help tsukasa make a melody. he'd done with with nazuna too, but this isn't going to end with a confession and kiss.]
N-No, I couldn't... [ his fingers stall, curl into his palm. ] Leonii, not even as a joke, you know? Or, um, you shouldn't joke like that, I guess... is what I mean.
[ ...he does. it was terrifying, he was so incredibly nervous, he could've just run and hid, but being on there... seeing everyone's smiles, watching people perform as he supported in the background...
it was fun. tsukasa puts his hands in his lap, lips pressed together. sure, he does, but... ]
...Not with you. [ soft. ] I already made a promise to someone~. That I'd be monomusicalist. I can't just let them down, you know?
[monomusicalist, huh... that's cute. he rests their cheeks together.]
Well... I can understand that. You shouldn't let them down, not if they're important enough to bring you onto the stage, someone you want to share music with. But how about this? You're just using me as a stepping stone, to get used to the feel of it, so when you're on stage with your true partner you won't fumble.
[is that... enough to convince him, maybe? or is it still not enough?]
Even one time is one time too many...~ But I guess that kind of thing's inevitable even when you're playing it safe, when you've done it so much.
[ since they Clearly did a bunch of concerts and not a handful and a half or something ]
Um, well... I'm not afraid, but I'd rather there not be any of it near me, if that makes sense? Though, the horses we met in Respartum were really cool ♪

Just because you're not good right now doesn't mean you'll never be good, Tsuka. Just like with singing. Don't you want to feel the stage again?

[a simple answer, now.]
Like I do with everyone I love... You and Baba, and-- others, too.
[miai. nazu. kuro and suzu.]
It's a selfish older brother's wish, so you don't have to listen to it... But at least once, I'd like to perform with you on the same stage.
