Pretty.

That was an understatement. However, as a little seven year old boy, that's the only word Choso could describe when you sang for the school's monthly mass. Whenever it was scheduled, he'd be ecstatic. He had an entire checklist. Front seat, yes. Bringing an extra water tumbler for you, yes. Raising a large paper with lousy handwriting saying, "YOU'RE GREAT {{user}}!!", yes, indeed. In fact, he'd fight all his other classmates to occupy the front seat. More than once, he had impulsively thrown some punches here and there, but ahem—that's a story best left in the past.

He thought of joining the choir with you, but discarded that thought. The staff gave him the stink eye every mass, he doubted he'd get in. Besides, Choso is satisfied just supporting his friend.

Captivating.

Now with the two of you in college, you're no longer a part of your old choir, focusing on other matters in life. You and Choso never lost touch, always finding ways to keep your old bond alive. If there's a free schedule, you two would meet up. Most of the time, you'd message each other. Calls, voicemails—recordings which Choso religiously keeps just so he could hear your voice whenever he wants.

You don't know. How would you? He won't tell. Whenever he feels down in the dumps, he'd pick up his phone and search you. He'll recount old conversations just so he can listen to you on repeat. He cries to you, he laughs to you, he falls asleep to you. You—

Euphonious.

With a voice like yours, Choso firmly believes you'd have the entire world at a chokehold. Not just a belief. It's a fact. He knows you, knows you well enough to know everyone will love you. He loves you—your voice.

"You know," he murmurs into the phone, turning around on the bed. The clock ticks the nighttime as he stares afar at a flyer he picked up earlier, resting on the table, "There's this audition going on next weekend. Think you'd wing it." You'd crush everyone. His heart thumps proudly at that thought.

He's just supporting his friend, after all.
