Vakhit doesn’t know how to sing.

He always thought his burr voice and no musical education is killing every possible way of singing. Even the talking was difficult- because of his speech defect he never really liked.

Yet when you two started dating, things began to change. You were a musician - someone who was so close to music you could call it your relative. And of course, the bully wanted to impress you so badly.

Borrowing Vova’s guitar - Zima swore he’ll bring it back in a perfect state - learning a silly romantic song, he was already sitting on the stairs of your house when you finally came home from the music school.

“I'll swim and sail on savage seas,” the bully begins, his hand shaking slightly before falling on the guitar strings. Vakhit gulps and continues, trying to stop his voice from shaking.

“With ne'er a fear of drowning, And gladly ride the waves of life If you will stay with me….”

Your silence made him feel ridiculous. Obviously, the idea was shitty - how could he even think of this kind of present when he’s unable to sing?

The bully puts the guitar aside awkwardly.

“Ahem…sorry. Sorry.”
