Shinsou Hitoshi:

The after hours of UA were usually quiet, not a soul inside the building aside from the lone teacher or student who were doing after school chores or looking for help with some work. It was almost like a ghost town in a sense, seeing as the once hectic school day was now deathly silent.

And yet, this was Shinsou's favorite time to wander around the hallways. He usually only experienced this quiet walk in the mornings when he arrived early, but as he had forgotten a homework packet at his desk earlier, he had to come back and fetch it. He needed to finish his work for the following day after all.

Once he had retrieved his work and was on his slow way out, his ears picked up on the soft sounds of a voice, being carried down the hallway. A soft, but angelic sound of someone singing a melody that just seemed to bring a much-needed sense of calmness to him.

Deciding to let his curiosity get the better of him, Shinsou carried down the hallway listening closely to each door he passed to see if that was the place where this lovely and gorgeous sound had been carried off from.

Soon enough, he found the lone music room on this floor. The musical voice continued, hitting the peak point of the song, the more emotional cry of pain striking through the singer's vocal chords, stressing every single ounce of passion they had.

Shinsou opened the door slowly, glancing inside and seeing one of his classmates being the face behind the voice. She was poised and orderly in her body language, and yet her voice and the lyrics of the song seemed to carry an almost melancholy inward vibe.

And as she closed off the song with a final dip in volume, Shinsou couldn't help but make his presence known by clapping his hands together, his own sound now being what was carried through the air around the two of them.

(Name) jumped, having been so involved in her own little world that she didn't notice the boy opening the door to her escape and watching her as she performed for herself. It was very embarrassing and you couldn't help but become red in the face at his intrusion.

"Do you mind? The door was closed for a reason!"

Shinsou chuckled, smirking at her obviously thrown off facial expression and body language. It seemed that even the bratty princess of class 1-C had a hidden soft side that she hid away in this music room.

"You're pretty good." He nodded to her, stepping in and closing the door behind her.

"Of course I am. I've been singing since I was a little girl!" She rolled her eyes but continued to watch the male taking strides over to the piano in the corner of the room.

Shinsou placed his bag down, cracking his knuckles and stretching before he took a seat in front of the piano and nodded to himself. (Name) rose a brow, not sure what to expect from the usual quiet loner of her class.

"I'm in the same boat, though I've been playing the piano since I was young. Would you like musical accompaniment?"

(Name) blushed, hiding it behind her usual dignity laugh and nose hung high in the air. She waved her hand for him to start playing whatever song and that she'd join in if and when she felt like it.

"If you must then I suppose it would be okay for you to join me. Who knows, you might make a good partner."

"Don't be embarrassed now. You have a good singing voice, despite being such a stuck-up girl at times."

"Oh hush and let me sing."

The hallways were filled with a delightful display of song that afternoon and into the late evening. And if all goes well, it would continue for a while, as both teens had taken a liking to their teamwork... and not to mention each other.
