“I…” Shuichi swung his feet. The arm chair was tall enough that the soles of his shoes barely brushed the hardwood floor beneath. He was beginning to feel smaller and smaller, his cheeks burning. “I don’t know. I’m just not used to good feedback, I suppose.” It was quite the opposite actually. He almost didn’t believe that Kyn was being genuine with him. 

He watched in polite silence as the older man thumbed through his lyrics, hands in his lap and tongue tucked into his cheek thoughtfully. Impressive writing? He’d never thought anyone would use that phrase to describe it. “Questions?” He asked, eyes still on the producer. “Yeah, sure. I’ll answer your questions as best as I can.”

{❄} “Yeah, like, ah- this one.” Kyn held out a sheet of lyrics, “I’ve got some time before I have more meetings to go to, and I’d really just like to know where it came from. Tell me what it means to you- how it’s supposed to feel. You follow?”

"I won’t judge you, just- tell me about it.”

Shuichi studied the page for a moment; in an instant, he realized that the song he was asking about was a love ballad – a song called In the Moonlight. His cheeks flushed deeply and he became very interested in his shoelaces. "W-well, it’s supposed to … to communicate longing.” He explained nervously. “Longing for someone, but waiting for them. Not knowing if they’d come back, and basking in their memories like you do the orange moonlight. Letting it consume you, but always staring up and wondering, wishing, waiting. Never being able to close your hand around it and pull it close – but even still, you wait.”

It was actually a very personal song. He’d written it about a lover he’d once had – Yuki. But that guy was nowhere to be seen. He’d run off a long time ago. It was still a very sore spot for him. “You wait, even knowing nothing will change.”
