Freya remembered the song clearly, but when she'd first heard it, on the computer, it was his voice that captured her. When he sang, she knew there was something winding around her heart, settling in, and solidifying. That cord had never broken. It was still there, around her heart - if anything, it was stronger now. But it had captured her because of his voice. Soft, caressing, and good, so good-
She also remembered that the lyrics made her throat tighten with emotion, but they hadn't hit so close to home as they did now. Now, when he sang the song, his beautiful voice was a close second to what was really catching her attention.
The lyrics to the song didn't make perfect sense, back then. Now, they fit with every word, falling from his lips straight into her tender heart. They wrapped around her all over again, and made her entire body curl inward. Her hands found any scrap of cloth attached to him, and clung, hard.
When his voice faded to a stop, Freya uncurled quickly and stared up at him, wet eyes glaring up at him with desperation. "Don't stops, don't stops singings it. Please." She needed to hear it again, and again, until all the pain bled out of her.

He was watching her face the entire time, quietly taking in her emotion. Kettil felt her fingertips as they gripped onto the cloth of his pajama shirt. Her demand for him to not stop was obeyed simply because of the desperation he heard in her tone and because he wanted to please her - he lived for it. If it was something as simple as singing he would do so until his voice became hoarse and faded into nothing. All of it just for Freya.
Kettil began again singing for her. Yet, the part he got to was the one he seemed to put the most feeling into this time around, "You know I just went out for band-aids, I'm thinkin' that's a good place to start. If you'd let me bandage the damage, I really think I could fix your heart." His voice was quiet, and just for her, "I wanna say I know what's wrong, but only you can be that sure, there's nothing I can do but be here. He pushes you away and I really hate to see you cry, I wish you'd come here and be with me." His hand moved to touch onto the hand that currently gripped at his night shirt.
"Yeah, I know I'm no miracle worker, but where can I begin?" He sang quietly, the song continuing on.

Slowly, her hands began to unwind from his shirt. Even slower, her body began to tremble, and uncurled from the fetal position she'd pulled herself up into. She let his voice, and not the implications in those words, soothe her. But once she could breathe again, she let the words themselves enter her heart once more, stronger than before. She let him soothe her with promises that he didn't realize he was making, but she knew he would have agreed to, anyway.
Because he was her Hooter.
Before he could get another verse out, her hands reached up, two fingers brushing gently across the soft skin of his lips. Her eyes were still wet with tears, shining in the moonlight. But the desperation had fled, and all that was left in his arms was the scared little ghoul afraid to love, and lose. Afraid, but unwilling to keep herself from trying anyway.
"And I just.." Her voice was hoarse, scratchy, and quiet. But she sang, regardless. "just ran out of bandaids.. I don't even knows where to start.." Her hands clenched for just a moment out of reflex, but relaxed again.

He fell silent just long enough letting her touch his lips and letting her sing back. His hand reached and wiped at her tear stained cheeks quietly. After he wiped the tears he reached and took her hand that was at his lips within his own hand. He kissed her fingertips and he sang in rebuttal to her words, "You know I just went out for band-aids, I'm thinkin' that's a good place to start. If you'd let me bandage the damage, I really think I could fix your heart."
Kettil meant each word he sang even if it was not a song he created himself - he didn't care. It was meant for Freya now more than ever.

A very slow smile lifted Freya's features, all the way across her face, until it was a helpless grin. She pulled both of her hands away just so she could wrap them around his neck, and held Kettil firmly in her grasp, smushing him against her.
"Thanks yeh." She whispered into his hair. "That was the best songs ever."
But a moment later, she pulled away, and looked into his eyes. There was curiosity and fear in them once more.
"How do yeh feels right now..?"

Her smile warmed him even as she hugged him tightly he returned it by wrapping his arms about her as best as he could and squeezing tightly. He adored her and as she thanked him his heart gave a pleasant flutter within his chest, "Welcome," he murmured softly his fingertips clutching briefly onto her night clothes.
As she pulled away and asked how he felt he blinked a bit his brow furrowing a bit, "...How do I feel? Why...? I ... I feel fine...?"
He wasn't sure what the intention to her question was and it showed.

The sudden intake of breath was audible. She sat up off of the bed completely, and stared at him for a few seconds, before her body started to vibrate in a quick, tiny bounce.
Then she giggled.
"I sang, and it didn't makes yeh sad, Hooter." Had he forgotten her troubles with singing already?

His body immediately shifted as he quietly moved to wrap his arms about her waist and rest his head on her lap smiling a bit, "Not really I was ... too wrapped up in singin' back for ya," he admitted softly with a small blush and a chuckle.
"I mean...I felt emotion from the lines but...I just .. wanted to assure you that...It's okay," he murmured softly.
"I think I love ya too much to be sad around you, Freya," he said softly.

Freya laughed when he pulled her back into his arms, as though getting up and moving away from him had been the worst mistake ever. She flopped back down, pulling him with enough force to get him back up beside her. She cocooned him, squeezing him like a body pillow once more.
"Oh? Yeh wants teh tests that? Because I'd be very curious teh sees if yeh really are immune teh me, or if that was just a fluke." She giggled a second time, nipping the skin of his shoulder.

Once she settled once more and cocooned around him he just refused to let go again at this point. He smiled a bit as he felt her n** his shoulder and he seemed thoughtful before he nodded, "Yeah~, sing for me again. I want to see what happens," he murmured quietly.
Maybe he was immune. Maybe he wasn't.
He didn't mind testing the possibilities as long as Freya was there to pick him back up.

Freya thrilled with excitement at this new turn of events. She tried to sit back up, but he had her tight in his arms, and she realized a moment later she didn't want to move. She didn't need to sing well, she just needed to sing. So she took in a deep breath, and picked a random song.
"Alls yehr life teh thinks of.. what a mess yeh mades, digs a hole in teh grounds, for yehr weddings ring.. rainsmakers call! Throws yehr hammers down! And everythings I knows, I can't remembers nowww~"

As she sang her song he waited.
Waited.
....Nope. Nothing. Nothing but happiness from her company and that she was singing for him. He grinned at her cheerfully in the moonlit darkness, "That's a interestin' song~," he said cheerfully.

Freya grabbed his head between her hands and squished his cheeks as she pulled him up close. Her eyes widened and she stared, hard, into his.
"Any sads? Any at all?!"

He stared back at her making a bit of a "O3O" at her in response to her in having his face squished, "Noh. Noh shadnessh," he murmured at her.

Freya screeched, despite being so close the sound would probably hurt him, and squirmed around in excitement. "Hooter, I can sings teh yeh! I can sings! I can sings and yeh don't gets sads and that means I can siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~iiiiiiiiiiiing~"
The last word was, of course, sung in a long note.
"This is so excitings! This is the first times I can sings teh someone and they don't get sads! Roch was getting close when he was trying teh teach me, but I could tell he still got a little bits of sads.. but now.. now..!"
She started humming, off-beat and random notes, but once she'd started, she couldn't stop.
