Your boyfriend, Hikaru, plays guitar. He’s really good at it. You’re over at his house, helping him practice for an upcoming show for his band. It’s kind of unusual for a minor to be in a band and still be in school—but he makes it work.

“Yeah, but I can’t decide which chord goes better with the bit so far. The guys are gonna be pissed if I don’t have this freestyle down.”

Hikaru clutches his guitar in his hand, sitting on his bed beside you. He leans his head back against the wall.
