#mosquito cale moment

[zorlovinghue]

Ohn, full of concern: Please tell me if something wrong, Cale.

Cale, feverish and sick yet eagerly interested to the offer: Do you really want to know?

Ohn: Yes, yes.

Cale, with a deep inhale: Yesterday, Ron gave me a round of five cups of lemonade. Each was progressively more sour, and the last one did not have any sugar in it. My stomach hurt this morning. I took on so many 'business matters' because of it. Who would have known that after doing so repeatedly my legs would go numb and I'd feel bouts of lethargy? Ron really went all out with his prank yesterday. What did I even do? I bet he's smirking right now. Oh, maybe it was because of Alver Hyung-nim being an addled adult and giving me an immoral amount of paperwork. Never mind, maybe it's a good thing that I'm sick now—

Ohn, horrified: 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪???

I don't have any particular abilities to boast about to others. But I have good ears. Probably.

——My name is Tobikura Sora

I remember the first voice that cut out, sounding nervous.

An incredulous voice, as if about to crawl in at any moment. If I said something rude, it sounded as if it would run away immediately.

I had no choice but to turn the dialogue around, "Hey, Kaede.”

 “What? Senpai.”

“Don’t ‘what’ me! What do you mean by this?”

“I’ve explained it, Sora is going to be our vocalist.”

“Vocalist, you say? He sounds like a mosquito.”

 Our eyes glanced at each other . At that moment, the other retreated back with a frightened look on his face.

 “Damn, so annoying.”

 Scary glare is something I am born with, and a foul mouth is my personality.. It would be unreasonable to even try to do something right now I'm trying to figure out what to do.

 “He can sing. I guarantee it.”

“..... that is, well, if it’s just sing. Even elementary school students can sing Donguri Gorogoro(Japanese Children Song).”

“Are you planning on making such a cute song?”

“That no way I’d do that, you idiot.”

“Do you think I'll bring someone who can't meet your expectation?”

 Kaede smiles softly.

What talent? The guy he brought in has been shaking like a newborn baby deer.

“More than that, Oi, Bambi.”

“Why do you call him Bambi?”

“Eh…. Are you…caling me?”

“Who else could there be?”

“I….I’m.. sorry..”

“Why did you get caught by this annoying guy?”

“What do you mean annoying? You're too mean.”

“That… is.. that.. Hi.. Higurashi-senpai..”

“You can call me Kaede. I've told you before.”

“So noisy. don't interrupt, shut up”

 Then Sora spoke in a crawling, yet easy-to-hear voice, "Kaede is so persistent that I couldn't say no.”

————

“Hayato-san. Why are you smiling all of sudden?”

“I’m not smiling.”

 To cover it up, I poured my own sake nearby and drank it.

 “Well, it doesn't matter. More than that, please stop putting steamed yellowtail in my bowl!”

“Oh? It’s fine, isn’t it?”

“Please stop. If you really don't like it that much, you can just leave it.”

“It's difficult.”

 As soon as he lifted his chin, he immediately said, "Don't put your elbow on the table. You're having a meal." The criticism comes.

 “You're so noisy. Are you my mom?”

“Senpai are the ones who should not make me say this. Cause you are old enough.”

“I came here because the company said they'd let me eat delicious food. Treat me like a little entertainment, you idiot”

“Yes, yes, it's my mistake, I chose Kaiseki, the main dish meat, but I didn't know that fish would come out in the middle. I should pay more attention next time.”

“Next time, got it.”

 As I murmured casually, Sora grinned.

 “Impish Crow's album and single are doing well. It's all thanks to Samejima Producer.”

“Is that so?”

“I look forward to your continued support. And thank you so much for your help with Toki-kun.”

“Don't make me say over and over again that I didn't do anything.”

“Why don't you at least accept my thank you? I know you're shy,”

“Shut up. It’s not like that”

 Once again I made myself a drink and gulped it down.

 Skyrium is disbanding-----that day, I declared.

'Nothing like the next will ever come. It's the last line of a dead end.’

The sound of my own spitting and Sora crying is still persistently attached to my ear.

If I have to bite off more than I can chew every time I see you, I don't want to see you anymore. That's what I thought. I didn't want to keep those irreplaceable days as a bad memory. At the very least, I wanted to put them in a beautiful frame called "memories" and display them.

 “By the way, Kaede..”

“? Hn? What did Kaede do?”

“Everything's mostly because of him”

“I can't keep up with the conversation.… Are you drunk already?”

“I'm not drunk”

“People who are drunk always say that they're not drunk.”

“Shut up.”

 I drank the leftovers from the glass at once.

“But if I wasn't who I am now…”

That word, no matter where I hit it, wouldn't have come out.

 ——your guitar is my favorite

 If, then.

With Sora's voice, Kaede's guitar, Toru's drums… and my bass is the best for Skyrium.

‘If only someone had told me that.’

Could it have been a different future by now?

 “I feel like a fool."

“? what is that?”

“Oi, Manager-san, please pour me a drink already.”

“What are you talking about?”

“And now I'm going to call Kaede.”

“What are you doing all of a sudden?…It's fine, but maybe he's not in Japan right now.”

“Who knows?”

“It’s really up to you.”

 I called, and on the third call, a voice answered, "What's wrong, senpai?”

"You, come here right now."

"Alright."

 That voice that gave a refreshing reply, I think I had heard it somewhere before.

'What? When?'

With fluffy, alcohol-soaked hair, I traced my memory cupboard and found him surprisingly quickly.

'Yes, that time. I told him if he wanted to keep the band together, he should bring a vocalist, and he immediately said, 'Alright.’

I left it in advance, so give it to me, and I said it in the same mood as when I said brought someone amazing.

 “You always really…”

“I can go now, senpai. Where is the place?”

“It’s here. Even if I didn’t tell you, you will know.”

 The future I pictured someday is not here.

It can't be said at all, and I haven't said it yet.

But I do know that there are many new things I have learned.

 "Hayato-san, you're drunk as expected. I'll talk to Kaede. Give it to me"

"Hello, senpai? Are you drunk?"

 The precious thing that I would have thrown away before.

It's right here. That’s why…

 "Idiot. I'm not drunk at all."

 I've decided to stop thinking about annoying things, and for now, I've decided to laugh.
