Klavier 🎶

"I think I would like it! But sometimes it seems more trouble than it‘s worth, you know?"

Klavier couldn’t help but smile at that. Simon wasn’t easily deterred, even when Klavier‘s insecurities tried to give him an out. It was very much appreciated.

"I like that idea," he agreed then. "Company while not having to face the world. It‘s a win-win, I think."

"Mmh, maybe. I wonder sometimes, though. I think not everyone is meant to have a person."

"Yeah, okay, I will." Klavier smiled again. "But don't worry too much, okay? I get dramatic like this from time to time, it's not a big deal."

The thought that came to Phoenix's mind luckily didn't cross Klavier's.

"It's alright, I'm honestly kind of used to it. My dating life has been kind of a disaster going on ten years now, when I broke up with my first actual girlfriend."

Klavier leaned his head in his hand, thinking. "I suppose... If you drove into the garage, we could probably make a somewhat undisturbed escape. They know my car and my bike, so that never really works for me. But they probably don't know yours."

"Think about the most conceited person you can imagine and then add 50% more."

Klavier hesitated a bit. "I... I like that idea, but. Ugh, there's always cameras outside, you know? I don't want them to perceive me."

I went on a date last night and it did NOT go well

"Hopefully!" He sighed softly then. "Maybe I should ask if she can come over sooner this week. Make me feel a bit less like the walls are caving in on me."

"Fair," Klavier chuckled. "But still. At least Taka only does this every once in a while. Vongole is always shedding like hell!"

"Of course, can’t fall behind!“

"Hey, be nice to each other," Klavier chuckled. "You're family, after all!"

"Aw, that's sweet of you! I will go find one right away!"

Aw, Stella, are you sure? I don’t want you to get cold!

Klavier chuckled at their antics. "You two are adorable. Two peas in a pod."

That explains a lot… My fingers are freezing off!

My god it is freezing cold in my office, I am not dressed for this

"I‘ll give you the whole tour, if you want! I don’t do that sort of thing every day, and it‘s my first solo one, so it‘s pretty exciting for me, too."

Klavier tapped his chin. "Actually, if you feel up to it at all, you could even have a little role in the video. Only if you want to, of course."

"That is such an adorable angle," Klavier laughed, Taka was taking up his whole screen right now.

— time? Seeing a filmset up close is pretty exciting, I think you would enjoy it."

Distraction, then. He can do that. "Let‘s see… I‘ve been doing a lot of promotion for the music I released recently. I had a photoshoot yesterday, that was pretty fun. And the music video for the single is currently in the planning phase. Maybe you‘d like to come along whenever we film that some —

"There he is! Hi, Taka!" Klavier cooed. "Ah, you two are such a unit, it‘s like the full picture when he‘s on your shoulder."

Klavier chuckled softly. "That‘s very thoughtful of him, isn’t it?“

"Hi, Taka!" Klavier called without even seeing the bird yet. "Are you still decorating Simon‘s office nicely?"

"Yes, please!" He wiped them off with his sleeve. "Oh, I’m extra sensitive today. It’s nice to be reminded of this kind of thing."

"Aww, Simon, I‘m gonna cry!!" True to that, he did wipe over his eyes.

Klavier leaned his head in his hand. "You got me all emotional now! Being so sweet and all."

[Paints a little heart on her cheek!!]

Klavier smiled, touched by Simon‘s genuineness. "Thank you, Si, that means a lot to me. I lost a lot in a short time, but the friends I made since then have been a big help. And you’re definitely among those!"
