Day 1:Â Music Makes Us Better~
Mephisto never felt he was musically inclined, which was odd considering he was a theater major. Music should be by all means his bread and butter, where have you heard of a theater kid who didnât want to break out their singing chops? Heck half of his movie heroes had done musicals, this was something he had to master. Yet here he was sitting in the plush red seat of the theater looking at the script he was handed. Nervous emerald eyes followed the bickering theater club co-presidents, Lev and Lyna as they carried on explaining the musical they had planned for the fall play to the excitement of the rest of the club but to him they might as well close the curtains on his performances for the fall season. He groans, messing with hair as he left the theater heading to his dorm room. He unlocks the door, the sight that greeted him lifts his spirits. â Hey Beautiful.â He smiles at his girlfriend. She was sitting cozily on the couch, her hair tied up in a bun, wearing a large sweater and leggings, reading a huge Egyptian Mythology book while petting their kitten Roku, who was napping on her lap.Â
Talia glances up from her book, her hand lifting from Rokuâs head. â Hey Handsome, you look like a man with a million thoughts. Whatâs up?â She hands the kitten over to Mephisto who instantly scoops him up after tossing his backpack on the chair and closing the door behind him. She uncurls from her spot picking up her teacup walking to the kitchen to make more tea. â Weâre doing a musical.â Mephisto answers, laying on the couch with the kitten on his chest playing with his tiny paws.
âWhy do you say it like that?â Talia giggles mimicking his tone of dread.Â
âLike what?â He chuckles egging her on his gaze following her as she walks around the kitchen making her tea. â Weâre doing a Musicalâ She emphasizes the word, quickly dipping back out of the kitchen so he could see her clearly placing the back of her hand over her forehead and faking a swoon. â As if someone just dashed your dreams of the Oscars, Leonardo DeCaprio.âÂ
Mephisto laughs â I still stand by the fact that he was robbed! Damn you Academy!â He smiled at her and sat up â Babe, when have you ever heard me sing?â
Talia muses for a moment as she got a tin of cookies from the cupboard. â I donât think Iâve heard you singâ She walks over to the couch with cookies letting him pick some for himself. â Oh thank youâ He hums taking a chocolate coated orange cookie, before continuing â Because, I donât sing.â
Talia froze for a moment looking at her boyfriend in surprise â You donât sing? Because you canât? Or Because you donât know how to?â
Mephisto gave a small laugh biting the cookie as he thought about it. â I guess the latter, I never learned to sing⊠I never felt the inclinationâ
Talia giggles softly before shyly admitting to him â⊠I was in a bandâ
â No! You?!â He gasped looking at her in shock, his serious, history major girlfriend was in a band! What! Â
Could his eyes get any bigger from excitement? No they clearly couldnât.Â
Talia rolled her eyes and blushed as she muttered softly â Hush, I have hobbies. You know.â Her lips formed into a smile â and I can teach you how to sing.â He grins and kisses her â Thank you! Okay but you gotta tell me about the band! Who was in it?!â He was never going to let that go now.
Talia laughs as she tells him about the band, the fun times Iris and Auriana and herself had in Lolirock. Talia confessed she had a box of musical items she played with in her room. A midi Controller, guitar, microphone and headphones. She would on occasion write a song for fun.
The more of her secret passion she shared the more eager Mephisto was to learn about this world of musical sheets and notes. Slowly but surely music lessons began.
A few weeks later Talia was sitting at her desk tapping her pencil to a beat she didnât realize had been playing outside her door for the past hour. âHuhâŠâ She rose from her desk wandering out to the living room.
Mephisto was sitting at the kitchen table tapping on the midi controller as he was singing the notes she had written for his singing lessons. He had the beginning of a great song but what really made her smile was the fact he was having fun with music. Talia smiles leaning on the door watching him play and experiment on his own even if the notes werenât originally meant to be a song he was making work.
âPop music 101: Some simple instructions, for a good first impression. Now letâs start with verse one. A minor chord, tensions grow. Fade in the bass like soâŠNow with momentum go⊠Stop! And bring the beat back Itâs called four on the floor A beat you canât ignore I bring sexy back once more, they love that for shoâ
He glances up at her blushing as Talia giggles âSomehow I donât think the last line is mine but hey itâs sounding greatâ He chuckles.
âThe chords are 1-4-6-4, Now Iâm talking familiar Harmony in thirds not fourths. Weâll take you into the pre-Real quick now donât you bore us. Hurry up and get to the Dumbed down, they wonât ignore usâŠGet to the floor! And hereâs the words you should know Like âDJ never let me goâ Or âshots and then weâll lose controlâ Or âbaby, baby, baby, baby, babyâ How âbout one more last word like: âHey girl weâve only got tonightâ Some things just go together like Higher, desire, and fire~â Â
He laughs â Hey Talia, letâs write a song together sometimeâ Â
