Track 53 || Neku Sakuraba

Jul 04, 2010 02:10

[Neku appears to be sitting on the floor of... ... The bathroom? His faciliberry is poking out of his pocket just enough to give an oddly angled view of his side and the left part of his face- as the camera's aiming straight up. He doesn't seem aware of- or bothered yet by the current experiment. In fact, it's likely that he's been here since ( Read more... )

Holy-- cow, you can sing.

1/2 godproxy July 4 2010, 06:18:35 UTC

[See Neku. See Neku stare in horror when he realizes what has happened.]

2/2 godproxy July 4 2010, 06:19:25 UTC

I...J-Just. Do. I can't. Not. Really.

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 06:23:41 UTC

No way! I mean, I don't have any artistic whatever, but you can, like. Really well, Neku. Don't sell yourself short.

godproxy July 4 2010, 06:25:51 UTC

...Not like it matters much here.

[He tries to get his heart to stop pounding in his throat because- god DAMN it he hates it when this thing catches him singing. It's mortifying.]

I um. It helps J-...The Composer remember the music of our city. Of Japan as a whole. S'the only reason I do it.

[Lies. Those headphones ain't just for show. He loves his tunes, man.]

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 06:28:25 UTC

Sure it does. I can't remember the last time I heard someone singing around here.

[Suzaku tilts his head and then-- gives a small smile.] No way, you don't sing like that because you have to, you-- love it, don't you?

godproxy July 4 2010, 06:31:10 UTC

I-

[And in all of the social awkwardness you've witnessed, you've probably never seen this. He blushes, yeah. but Neku's face gets very, very sad- maybe borderline tears. His jaw is set, his eyes lowered.]

I...Never had time to think about it. And now it's too late. Maybe... If I'd ever made it back to Shibuya I would have tried it for real.

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 06:34:34 UTC

It's not too late at all. Don't talk like that.

So maybe we're not going to get out of here. That's a very likely possibility, and I'm not just going to ignore that. But all that does is make this your most important show ever, doesn't it? There's a whole audience that'd love a pick me up.

godproxy July 4 2010, 06:37:42 UTC

A-audience?

[Neku has to swallow the lump in his throat and oh, fuck there's no way he's talking him into that crap. He doesn't sing in front of people. Not willingly. But... ... Suzaku's face.]

M-maybe? I... I don't know. I just... hn. I don't know if anybody'd care even if I did.

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 06:41:42 UTC

Well, no. Some of the people might not. But some of the people here are jerks.

I know for a fact that Josh would like to hear it. And I know that I would. That's two right there. I mean, it's a start.

It's-- just cool, you now? Something not depressing here, for once.

godproxy July 4 2010, 06:45:37 UTC

[There was that word again. And several others that made Neku blush and shift awkwardly. Cool? He'd like to hear it? Of course Josh did. It kept Josh from fading. But...]

I don't... Know what to say, Suzaku-kun.

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 06:51:03 UTC

You really don't have to say anything.

Unless I'm overstepping my boundaries. Then you can tell me to shut up.

godproxy July 4 2010, 06:53:01 UTC

What- No!

[Aaaah foot in mouth Neku. How cute. He flushes a fiercer red and reaches up to tug nervously at a lock of hair.]

You don't have to shut up, I mean. It's just. I'm... Sort of awkard about the whole thing and... I don't know what to do with myself if somebody's watching me. I have to close my eyes if Joshua's around, even.

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 06:56:34 UTC

[whyfor the blushzaku, neku, whuddup with that.]

Aw, come on. If you're nervous with it, I was totally overstepping my boundaries. See? It's okay to tell me to shut up.

I'm just saying, that-- you don't have anything to be afraid of. At least I don't think so. You have a great voice, Neku.

godproxy July 4 2010, 07:00:13 UTC

[agashgsdglasdj THAT FACE, SUZAKU WHYYYY]

I... You didn't. [What boundaries? Neku didn't know how to handle friendship- and as far as he was concerned those didn't exist. Not if he wanted to keep his few precious friends close.]

It's not because of you. It's because this dumb thing turned on and- I guess... You and Josh can listen whenever, okay?

sue_zaku July 4 2010, 07:07:27 UTC

[At least Neku was on the same skill level as Suzaku. He'd had an awful lot of acquaintances before. And... Lelouch. He hadn't really had an actual FRIEND since Japan had been... well, Japan.]

I didn't? --All right. Good. I just wouldn't want to make anything awkward, y'know?

[He nods again.] At least I got to hear you that way. Right?
