Orion went down the scale with her - down was easy. Down was always easy for him because the notes were guaranteed. However, when she stopped before they could go back up he turned his gaze to her. He nodded to what she told him, mumbling a quiet 'thank you' before she began playing once more. As she played up, he recalled his previous range when he was young - widest range in the class if he kept up with his practice. However, it had been a little more than one years at this point - he couldn't get up that high today. Doing as told, he went up the scales with him, not even matching the range he knew he had as he dropped out almost immediately after hitting his falsetto in favor of listening to her.
And soon enough she'd finished and speaking to him once more, and he simply nodded, his leg bouncing once more. He personally didn't really like his voice, but then again he'd do anything for her.
That's good that it wasn't strep! If your fever broke and other symptoms went away already then it'll probably go away really soon

I hope so. Are you back on campus?
Michiko grinned at him once more, leaning forward and kissing him passionatly, letting her tounge flutter across his lips and into his mouth if he let her. What? Sweet Fae guys who could sing were hot! She blushed and pulled away, suprised at her own forwardness. Clearing her throat, she started playing the introduction on the piano, smirking as the song took hold of her. She looked at Orion, wagging her eye brows playfully as she directed the lyrics at him. "Right from the start, you were a thief, you stole my heart, and I, your willing victim. I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty, and with every touch you fixed them," Her expression changed suddenly, following the words as she told the story. "But you've been talking in your sleep...Things you'd never day to me... nothing left but empty sheets between our Love," she sang through the chorus- voice strong and clear. And then she played the prelude to versus two before nodding to cue Orion in.

Orion kissed her back, parting his lips for her. A please hum left him at the feeling of her tongue in his mouth. She pulled away all too soon, and he found himself wanting more. He kind of liked the way she took charge. Alright, he really liked it. It was rare that he let control be take from him because those who'd tried didn't know what to do with it. Only twice had it been allowed during his high school career in casual flings, and it hadn't gone well for him.
Blinking he looked down at the keys of the instrument as she played the song. He listened to her sing, cracking his knuckles as a way to distract himself. Looking to the fae besides him as she went through the chorus, he found that it was just ending and only moments later he received a cue. "I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from, I thought that we were fine." His voice was quiet compared to hers, and by now he was looking down at the keys of the piano. He continued through to the chorus, leg still bouncing a bit.

Michiko grinned and laid her head on his shoulder to comfort him as she added counter melody line to his verse "Oh, we had had everything. Yeah, but this is happening," she sang the harmony on the oh's for the bridge into the chorus and launched into full harmony during the verse. Michiko lost herself in the music as she played the piano energetically. "Oh Tear ducts and rust...we're collecting dust, but our loves enough. You're pouring a drink." She dropped down to a soft voice on the next line, letting her harmony act like an icing on top of his voice until the bridge broke and she belted her solo line and stopped playing for an second. "WE'LL come clean," she picked up with a series of 64th notes before playing a bare chord chorus and letting Orion's voice shine through before adding hers back to his for the final chorus- adding a wicked harmony to the closing notes. Panting, she finally opened her eyes and grinned at Orion again. "You're fantasic!" She fangirled, pulling him in close for another heart pounding kiss.

Orion continue through the song, physically unable to lose himself as she did. He admired her for that, honestly. While he couldn't say he was fond of they way they sounded together - it meant that he actually thought he sounded decent, which he didn't - he truly enjoyed the way she sounded. He was unsure how long the song actually was, but he knew that suddenly it was over and she was praising him. Despite how he liked the praise, he didn't quite feel he actually deserved it at the moment. Nonetheless, he managed to mumble a thank you before she was kissing him. He kissed her back immediately, arms sliding around her waist, though he found himself unwilling to take charge.

Michiko kissed him for a long while before holding him close. She looked up at him after a few moments and said. "Let's run it again," , and then she started the sing again. He had done very well for his first time singing in years, and while there were a few areas of trouble that Micihiko knew she had to fix before they were ready for the audition, she knew the they were going to rock everyone's socks off. Unlike Orion, she loved the way they sounded together, and once he sang a little louder and she learned to adjust her volume to her voice their balance would improve greatly.

The fae kissed her for as long as she would allow. After a bit, he found that she was pulling away and holding him. He didn't protest, closing his eyes for a did. However, his voice had him opening his eyes once more and nodding slightly. So he listened to her as she sang as he waited for the part she had him start at before. He made no conscious effort to adjust his volume, considering his confidence was at an all time low when it came to his voice. Even still, when it was time, he sang with her.

Most romantic line ever.... "Even still, when it was time, he sang with her". I love that <3
Michiko smiled as they sang together, and she used her years of voice training to put her beloved partner at ease. She covered for him in a lot of ways, cutting her volume down and almost whispering the harmonies as they sang together. She appreciated his effort, and she pulled him in for a tender hug when they finished once more. "Orion, you're getting better each time. The only thing you need to do is to sing much louder. Trust me, you sound amazing, and you will sound better the louder you sing. Now let's work that bridge part again. Feel the lyrics a bit, and try adding a trill on this part." She demonstrated his line a bit, gently giving him instructions so as not to overwhelm the brave and timid fae.

Orion accepted the hug once the song was over, trying to relax his slowly rising nerves. So as she spoke to him, he didn't really reply at all, simply nodded. While he didn't really respond, he did in fact take her words to heart. Soon enough it was back to the bridge, and the fae followed along and did as told.

(Night Sweet dreams!) Michiko smiled when they finally stopped the song. "That was a lot better. I think if we run it one or two more times then it will be ready for the auditions tomorrow." She smiled and kissed his cheek again, her eyes brimming with pride and something a little sad. She held him close in the huge- much longer than she normally would before she release him as if she were scared that it would be the last time she held him.

"Okay," Orion murmured, glancing at her eyes. It wasn't hard for him to catch the sadness there, but he didn't immediately question it. Rather. He hugged her back, not really questioning the length of it much. When she release him, he did the same a bit reluctantly. "What's wrong?" He asked softly.

Myst, we are such a mess XD I'm so sorry they just woke up like that >.< Those things are the worst when you are trying to sleep. At least you weren't in the shower (happened to my friend at cha) I hope you're asleep right now
The birds in the younger girl's scene were struggling to flap her wings as dark gray clouds floated over the still brilliant pink sky. She laid her head on his chest, enjoying the way the warmth there chased away the worry that was pooling in her heart and plaguing her mind. Taking solace in that moment with him, she shook her head gently and just enjoyed the silent moment with him. After a while had passed, she responded quietly. "I'm just really lucky to have you. You're amazing, and I can't imagine a day without you. I never wanna see the day you say you've had enough." She looked up at him, her Orion's Belt shining in the moonlight in her eyes. They were lonely little twinkles- the only stars visible through the gray clouds. "I've always had to make music by myself or play piano only, but with you I can sing, and dance, and play. I can express my soul, and I was just thinking about you leaving. It terrified me." She moved suddenly, snaking her arms around his chest and holding onto to the most precious person in her life. She wouldn't die if he left, but she wasn't sure she'd ever recover or be the sane again. She didn't want to know. "I love you, Orion." She muttered quietly, finding his hand on the bench and hesitantly taking it in hers, scared he would flinch or pull away. Just what would she do if he did? She didn't know.

The fae took to rubbing circled on her back as she laid her head on his chest. He wasn't sure what had brought on the sudden anxiety on her end, but he'd be here to hold her. When she finally spoke up, he took in all her words, meeting her gaze when she looked up at him. He took in her scene, frowning slightly. As she continued to talk, his frown only grew. Why was she thinking of him leaving? Why would he leave her? Then again, it was just the same as him thinking she would eventually leave him or tear him down just the same as everyone had.
When she spoke of loving him, he didn't flinch, didn't shy away. At the most, he tensed for a second before relaxing once more. 'It's not toxic,' he reminded himself before speaking. "I'm not going to leave you. Even if you told me to leave I don't think I really could. I want to be there for you, always," he murmured softly, pressing a kiss to her head.While he wasn't keen on saying he loved her, it was what he was unknowingly admitting through his gestures and phrases of staying with her.

At his words, Michi felt her heart melt and eyes soften. She looked back into Orion's eyes, and the clouds were slowly but surely fading away as the stars slowly peeked out from behind their veil. A weak smile replaced the frown that had pulled the bow of her lips down. "Thank you. It's just when you freaked out earlier I thought I was going to lose you on some way. I want to be able to protect you the rest of my life, and I have no clue what I'd do if I lost you. You're my perfect duet partner, lover, and you are my best friend. I know you are scared of falling, and I'll stick around even if you never come to love me. I just want to make sure you never go. I don't want to be alone ever again. " she looked into his eyes, reading the unnamed emotions there and feeling her heart flutter as it basked in the warmth reflection off his ores

Orion watched as her eyes changed, feeling only slightly relieved. As the fae before him spoke up once more, he couldn't help but temporarily shut her out from his side of their link. Guilt immediately washed over him, but the feeling never reached his eyes as his own sense of self control wouldn't allow it. "I'm..." he trailed off. Where was he even going with that? Sorry? No, she'd likely feel guilty then. Scared? Yeah, she knew that already. So what was he trying to say? "I'm just unwilling to recognize things like that because if something happens, I don't know what I'll do. But that doesn't mean that I don't...." there was a pause as he turned his gaze else where in effort to find words that would help get his point across. "It doesn't mean that I don't feel anything less for you than you do for me."

The second she was cut off from their link, she felt as if half of her lung had been cut out, and she felt her soul wilt a bit- the tiny flowers lining her umbra shrinking into themselves. She felt her walls go up a bit- her own Version of self defense against being left again; the same steel walls no on had been Able to break other than her Gram or since her Gram had died - other than Orion. She hugged him, hiding her face in his chest, but she had a second motive as she fought to keep her breathing even. The dancing practice paid off as she kept her breath almost perfectly ever despite the silent tears slipping down her face. "I know, love. You don't have to name the emotion for it to be there. I won't ever judge you for that. You'll say if when you're ready, and if you never are, then just meaning that much too you will be enough for me," No, what cut her heart like a knife was being shut out and never quite knowing what he was feeling. Despite being so close to him, she still felt like he was a million miles away from her. She wasn't wasn't worried about her leaving, she loved him too much, instead, she worried he would slip off into the mysterious abyss from whence he came- taking what little bit of her trust and heart that she had left.

The energy it took for him to keep her from his emotions was a bit much, but it was soon found that the guilt was only mounting more. He hugged her back, arms tight around her - it was nothing short of a practically bone crushing hug. The fae held her like she'd be likely to leave at any moment. After all, he'd just shut her out for selfish reasons that just weren't going away. It was at least a couple minutes before he said anything. He wasn't sure if there was anything to say, but eventually he did. He finally dropped the block on their link, not having the energy to keep his guilt from her. Not after everything that had happened today. "I'm sorry I can't do this for you," he whispered.
Orion wanted nothing more than to be able to say it back. He really wanted nothing more than to put a name to the emotion and verbally tell her that he felt the same. But he couldn't. He mentally couldn't bring himself to just get over himself and say it.

Aww babe..that fire alarm was a nasty surprise, I bet. I hope you get more sleep- uninterrupted- tonight. My day was decent, I guess. I'm glad I went to my important classes, or I would have been pretty far behind. My throat hurts, but I have medicine that works and keeps me happy as long as I take it. )
Michiko hugged him back just as tightly, her fingers clutching his shirt so tightly she would have been scared she'd rip it if she were in her right mind. The tiny tears continued down her face in small rivulets, but they picked up speed and frequency when he finally dropped that block. She felt the guilt run through her, and immediately her soul flooded back with her own guilt. "It's okay. You feel the same, and one day, maybe, hopefully, you'll say it. It doesn't bother me that much.. Besides, if it does, isn't it my fault for falling in love and saying it so soon?" She laughed here, just the slightest bit bitterly, as she thought of how stupid she had been to fall so hard, so fast? And yet, if she really thoughts about it, she didn't regret it at all, and she'd gladly make the same mistake of falling fast over and over and over again. She felt relieved when he dropped his wall, but she felt her own still halfway up- dulling their link a bit as her heart took some time to itself to recover. She was petrified of trusting someone again. Orion was terrified to love, and she was terrified to trust after letting down anyone she had ever loved. She held him close, and prayed that he would find it in him to stay with her. She didn't want societal expectations or her own desires to drive him away. She felt she was already loosing him after asking for so much from him all the time. There it was again, her weakness of mind and body and soul were ruining something else again. She wasn't strong enough to suppress herself, and she was hurting Orion because of it. Besides, she didn't blame Orion was not wanting to love her. She was unlovable: a dandelion hoping that someone would put her in a vase when she was really just destined to be tossed aside and carried in the wind.

So I heard that my online history professor was a stickler for English, and I can't access my course, so I had to send him an email. So I agonized over it- terrified to make a crap impression, and all I get back is Hey (Name), will ch on it. I died . He's so nice, and I felt so dumb XD I'm still going to write like the grammar nerd I am, but still, it killed me on the inside a bit. Funny story for the day

Yeah like I just //rip But also I don't have to be up as early tomorrow so yeeeee And that's good. Hopefully you'll get better soon!!
At the feeling of her own guilt, Orion's only got that much worse. Her words pierced him and soon enough a few words of his own were tumbling from his lips. "It's not your fault. It's not your fault that I'm emotionally incompetent," he whispered, fingers curling into the back of her shirt. "I just... I'm trying, I am. And I'm sorry that I can't do this for you. Please, I'll do anything if it'll let you know I feel the same." Compensation - one of the few things he knew all to well. If he couldnt tell her verbally, he'd do anything and everything he could to show her. He's do anything if it meant she wouldn't give up on him. There wasn't anything that actually told him that she would do anything of the sort, but everybody else would've based on all of his actions to date. The fae was getting desperate, and it was starting to show.

Yaass. That's always good getting to sleep in I legit didn't got to school till 1030 today, so I felt pretty happy. I felt like death when I left, but it was worth it. Thank you for encouraging me ^-^ And I'm so glad he's nice, too
Also, I found some sweet idea for Orion to do or for us to be evil with for the auditions.
