What: Songwriting madness!
When: 2/14!
Where: Virgo house
Warnings: Cuteness. Lots of cuteness.


[It's Valentine's Day, and generally speaking Dino doesn't celebrate it. The day doesn't mean a lot to him, but as a musician--frankly, something like an idol--he has to live up to certain expectations. That's where the seed of the idea comes from. At first it was just a gentle melody in his head, something he quickly worked out on his cello. It's a basic tune now, but he feels the need for help. And as written, maybe with a few changes it could be the ultimate gift: a duet. And there's one person who comes to mind, who has youth and soul that will get across a simple message of hope with a vulnerability that matches Dino's.

There's another something he needs to cover, too, and he scoops up a little bag with one hand, holding a pair of notebooks in the other--one staff lined, one ruled--before stepping out of his room. Crossing the shared courtyard with the pool takes only a couple of minutes, but it's a leisurely little walk. Heck, maybe they can talk out here, if they think the night's nice enough.

Arriving at his destination, he takes a deep breath before he raises a hand, knocking on Kaoru's door with a characteristic calmness.]

[ Kaoru opens the door quickly, absolutely lighting up when he sees who's on the other side. ] Dino! [ He's chill, honestly, he totally is. One of his hands rises self-consciously to his hair to make sure it looks okay, that his barrettes are straight, but other than that? He's totally chill, okay. He opens the door wider for Dino, waving him through. ] Come in! I was just working on some clothes, but you can take a seat wherever. [ And he'll hurry in after him to pick up the mess of fabrics and notebooks on his bed to drop them in an organized pile in the corner. Not that Dino has to sit on his bed. Whatever. It's just an option okay!! ]
