Rei only listens to a single song on repeat on his iPhone when he’s working out. And it makes him either chuckle (silly) or smile (affectionate) depending on his mood every time he does. Amusing how he has come to know it.
“So bold and fine, I've known you for some time/Whole life changed while bones like yours and mine/Go dance in the woods and down we go, down, down/Oh boy, you're mine, do you remember old times?”
A couple of months before Miri came into their lives, Rei found another fact about Kazuki, that is, he loved to dance with this particular Avicii track while cooking. One time he was on the couch with nothing to do but reading the football manga he kept on postponing for days. The last mission was a week ago and Kyutaro-san told them to lie low for a while. The synthesiser’s screeching and humming next to the kitchen island initially astonished him. It must be the quality of the loudspeaker, a portable Bang & Olufsen, because the pulsating beats came out so forceful that he was glued to a dancing figure at his kitchen. Kazuki’s singing, who knew the lyrics, perfectly encapsulated the yearning of the singer. His partner swayed his hips as if he were alone in the room unaware that Rei was watching him intently. Did he forget that I am here? Ah yes, Kazuki could move too. No doubt about that. The frequency he went to the clubs at the start of their acquaintance was legendary. Rei opened the Shazam app on his phone and pointed it at the direction of the speaker. Hmmm… he might download it later.
