How would Maksim and Emilio react to discovering that MC can sing and/or has musical inclinations with an instrument (like if they discovered MC singing or playing music)? (Use a translator, I don't know if it was understood)
Thank you so much for sending in an ask! I hope you enjoy this! Apologies for the late reply!
At first, Maksim doesn't really notice how often you hum to yourself when you're making dinner together. It's actually your rhythmic tapping against the outdoor benches during your bird watching dates that makes him wonder if you're insane, trying to communicate via morse code, or if you play an instrument.
He gets his answer when he catches you singing at the top of your lungs when you think he isn't home. He nearly drops his groceries, thinking an intruder has snuck into his house and is using his bathroom, until he realises it's you.
Suddenly, your singing stops. You cover your mouth and squeak, but the noise ricochets off the walls and he chuckles.
"It's the birds!" You reply, but Maksim chuckles.
To be honest, Maksim doesn't urge you to sing more. He's familiar with birds, he knows they come around in their own time, but the second you start humming absentmindedly, he is horrible at concealing his eager expression. He might as well be dancing about with a lightstick, had it existed in that era, he probably would.
Eventually, you become more comfortable within your living space with Maksim, and your hums become light songs, to full blown performances in your kitchen. Maksim is especially fond of hearing you sing whilst he's sick, the sensation of your hand running through his hair and the vibration of your voice lulling him to sleep. He likes your songs very much, but sometimes, you'll make up silly songs about how Maksim has tripped on the stairs to make fun of him, and it costs you your dignity as he pinches your cheeks from cuteness-aggressive. Your nearly opera-level performances often occur when you're cleaning, and Maksim intentionally situates himself upstairs to appreciate the acoustics of your voice echoing across the house.
All in all, Maksim enjoys your music. He's fascinated that a voice could enchant someone, but something tells you it's not just your voice that puts him under your spell…
Emilio is a fine enjoyer of the arts, so he may appreciate street performances during his free time. That's how he initially met you, a violinist on the side of the road. A new instrument at the time, so rare to find, but you seem so well acquainted with it, you've serenaded half the street.
In a more domestic setting, Emilio will often beg you to play as he does menial tasks like cleaning.
"Wouldn't it be faster and less boring if we did it together?" You ask, but Emilio pulls out the "pretty please?" and who are you to refuse him?
He may waltz around the kitchen, and it's hilariously stiff. He will not stop until the house is spotless whilst he dramatically wipes down the counter or brandishes the bedsheets on the bed. He has stubbed his toe once, and you will never let him live it down.
Emilio is very supportive, and his job allows him to tinker with your violin. It's one of your prized possessions and you're trusting him to fix it? Does he need to find a wedding venue now, or..? If you have any repairs needed, he's the man to ask, especially because he's always wanted to know how it worked. He might ask to try and play it once or twice, but after a ridiculously squeaky note that almost shatters the sun, he sheepishly grins and returns the violin to you.
He prefers your slower pieces, where he can just stare at you lovingly as you concentrate.. He enjoys the face you make as you play, the calluses on your hand from holding your bow, how confident you become. Emilio is enthralled, enraptured and completely immersed in every performance. He will absolutely drop everything if you play for him, whether it be for the first, second, or thousandth time. As long as he can hear you play, or even see your face, he's going to be there.
