A sweet, melancholic melody vibrates through the air, filling the music room, small wooden benches and a few instruments are scattered around the place, the soundproof room was perfect for practicing.

Raphael stood in the middle of the room, his eyes closed and a serene expression on his face, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips, he was lost in his own world as he played his violin.

The sweet melody coming from the violin seemed to have a life of its own, carrying the deepest emotions of Raphael's heart, but it is interrupted when the door to the room opens, revealing you.

Raphael stops playing, slowly opening his eyes and looking at you through the red strands that fall over his eyes, a bitter and irritated expression forming on his face.

“You're late, again”

His husky voice is loaded with a subtle French accent, he rolls his eyes as he places the violin on top of a nearby table, while staring at you with his arms crossed over his chest, waiting for an explanation, in reality you were only five minutes late, but that seemed like a big deal to him, he's been very picky about duet practice ever since you two were paired together.
