[open] get out yozora you're not from k-on

[playerkills]

Who: Yozora and YOU!
What: Electric guitar practice when no one else is around... or so she thinks.
When: Day 123
Where: Draupnir, Freyr district.
Rating: PG-13 for Yozora's potty mouth.

[ "You have friends. Joke's on you. Please take care of it." It's only been a few days, but the note England left along with the guitar he entrusted to Yozora on the day he left still stings her just as much. Who knew his disappearance would happen so soon? Yozora did, but she didn't want to think about it. She still doesn't. Although the time they spent together was short, forgetting about a friend like him was the last thing on her mind. To remind herself of him, she has started a new routine. Packing the electric guitar in its case and carrying the amplifier in both hands, she quietly closes the door to her apartment and makes her way to Draupnir in the morning, just before everyone wakes up.

You'll never be good at something once you try, right?

At a studio, you might overhear her during one of the following... ]

[ A Yozora's always going on about air friends and air guitars. It should be no mystery that she knows how to play one. That loud instrumental music you're hearing from the room isn't coming from her, but from a boombox. Yozora's just playing her air guitar along with it. After the song, Yozora puts her hands on her hips with a smile on her face. ]

If I can play an air guitar, a real electric guitar shouldn't be any different! Right, Tomo-chan?

[ WHO THE FUCK IS TOMO-CHAN ]

[ B Actual practice this time. Yozora is sitting down on a chair as she tries to play a song. There will be pauses and mistakes here and there, but her voice is what makes the listening experience bearable. ]

Your lovely smile floats and fades away into the ever-changing clouds...

I don't need your sympathy. [ WAIT SHE NEEDS TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER ] I mean... hmph! [ that wasn't. much of an improvement. ]

I bet your friend never left your side, no?

[sparkling_eyes]

Well... it was sort of the other way around, actually.

[What with her being his bodyguard and all.]

[playerkills]

You never left his side? [ How cool... She wishes she could have done the same when she was younger. Lyon has her respect. ]

It mustn't be a coincidence that you both ended up here in Asgard, then.

[sparkling_eyes]

I think so, too. Even though he got here months before I did.

[playerkills]

Let me get this straight, though - you never left him? Ever? Not even for - a year? Or ten?

[sparkling_eyes]

No, of course not!

[She couldn't even conceive of such a thing!]

...Well, actually, there was one time I couldn't be by his side, but I was in the hospital at the time.

[playerkills]

What happened? [ Genuinely interested in another person, for once. ]

[sparkling_eyes]

[Her expression instantly shifts to one of extreme discomfort, but she'll answer that question anyway.]

I... was injured pretty badly during a battle. Protecting him.

[playerkills]

... Sorry. [ Yozora keeps quiet after that. ]

But you must have really loved him. [ As a friend, that is. She would do the same for Kodaka if given the chance. ]

[sparkling_eyes]

It's all right. I'd gladly give my life for him. He's the most important person to me, and I made a promise to his father that I'd always keep him safe.

[playerkills]

What kind of father is he, to give a job like that to a girl... Ah, but nonetheless. [ That's the sort of like she wants to lead! Oh, but she doesn't have the courage to say it out loud, so she's going to keep quiet. ]

[sparkling_eyes]

No, it's okay! I wanted to do it!

[playerkills]

I wanted to do it, too.

[sparkling_eyes]

What happened between the two of you, anyway? I mean, if you don't mind me asking. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

[playerkills]

No, I don't know Frey. ... I had a friend, but he moved away.

[sparkling_eyes]

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that.

[playerkills]

It's fine. Just forget it.

If you don't mind, I'll... go back to practicing now.

[sparkling_eyes]

Oh... right. I'm sorry for interrupting. I'll just be cleaning up backstage, don't mind me.

[Lyon bows and walks off.]

[playerkills]

[ Yozora frowns until Lyon leaves.

... Maybe she shouldn't have let her go so quickly. She didn't expect to relate with her this much. ]
