It was something worth noticing; his eyes glanced on me just that little bit longer before pulling away. His hands lay outstretched for several moments as well, before he turned back to normal.

The chemistry… that we had… just fizzled like that. I had found it annoying at first, but it was then either those cold hands holding one of my own, or our eyes meeting - the simplicity and beauty of such an act… just took my breath away. It always had, and he had several times chided that I was a soppy romantic.

So what, really?

I smiled, recalling the time I had said that to him. He blinked, before shrugging. I smiled even more being able to make him temporarily mute by my own means – that is, without doing any physical action – and allowed my fingers to trace his cheek, eyes looking thoughtful as they searched his face.

He had allowed me to get away with it, not making any expression whatsoever that he was enjoying a single moment of it. When I had realised the braveness of my actions, he had smirked at me, before heading off to his practice room to play his violin.

I spread my body on the large couch for 2 that lies in our living room, looking at the TV. My eyes are fixed to the curtains on the stage, awaiting the announcement.

Len's performance.

As he stepped out, I clapped with the rest of the crowd, and silenced quickly to hear his violin. Like normal, the notes were sharp and crisp, but held a sweet tenderness.

The sweet tenderness he attributes to me.

I smile as I close my eyes and allow the tune of Tsuki No Kakera to flow. A song that he had somehow created himself, I had loved this piece when I heard it. He promised, the last time he had called me, that he would teach me the song. I had laughed, saying that nothing would replace Ave Maria.

But this goes close, darn it!!!

I grin foolishly to myself, and note that the song is dying down. I open my eyes slowly to see him put his violin down, and bow to the audience; before grabbing a microphone. I blinked.

Where did that come from?

He smiled as he held the microphone, the crowd silent – as well as myself – awaiting his words.

"This song is one I dedicate to my beautiful wife, Hino Kahoko – Kaho, I hope you're watching this"

I could feel tears brimming in my eyes as I heard his words loud and clear.

Len… thank you…
