"No," Mitsu shook her head. She tried to smile but the gesture still failed her. "No there's nothing wrong." Once Shun found a parking spot Mitsu exited the car a little more determined to have a good time.
Walking around the car so that she could stand beside him she produced her ticket that he had given her. There was a look of excitement in her eyes as she looked toward the doors of the concert hall, well dressed people already making their way inside. She had played at concerts, though nothing as grand as this no doubt, but she had never actually been to one before.

"Alright, let's find our seats," he said, taking note of the excitement in her eyes. Hopefully this outing will at least ease her mind if only for awhile. Taking her ticket, he walked on beside her to where they needed to go, turning in the slips and going into the seating area.
They had a fairly good spot in one of the balconies. There was a nice view of the musicians, not that being able to see them was a huge deal unless one happened to enjoy seeing the conductor do his work or something along those lines. The hall in general was quite elaborate in its decor, making it quite the classy place to be in. Most of the others attending were older than the two teens, but that was likely to be expected.
Sitting down, Shun glanced over at Mitsu and asked, ".. How are you feeling?"

Mitsu took in their surroundings with avid interest. It was all rather grand, the decor following a more Victorian theme. Following closely behind Shun, Mitsu hesitated a little once she realized they had balcony seats. She wasn't all that fond of heights, but he had obviously spent a lot of money to get them.
Slowly she made her way to her seat, sitting down gingerly fearing a sudden movement would make the balcony snap off from the wall and send them crashing to the floor. It wasn't a rational thought, but a thought none the less. After a second she started to relax barely hearing the question Shun had asked.
"What? Oh um...I'm...." How was she really? She wasn't quite sure. "I'm fine." She said softly daring a peek over the balcony at the orchestra down below. "Have you been to a concert before?"

Not aware of Mitsu's fear of heights, Shun raised an eyebrow as she seemed to be a little hesitant. Though, he couldn't be sure why she was a little nervous, but she seemed to relax once she was sitting.
"Not for an orchestra," he replied while shaking his head, "I've been to a couple rock concerts before though. Yourself?"
The boy could guess that the answer was no, but who knew, there was the chance that this wasn't her first.

"Rock concerts..." She repeated thoughtfully. It seemed rather fitting since Shun steered toward that type of music with his guitar. Mitsu enjoyed it as well, it made your heart pump and your mind a frantic scene of images. "I've played at concerts....nothing as nice as this, but I've never gone to one."
The lights started to dim and as they did the soft sound of violins started to play. Mitsu would have focused her attention toward them but the boy beside her had captivated her interest. Bent usually did most of the talking so it was nice to hear a little bit about Shun for once, even if it was only bits and pieces.
"Will you tell me more about your rock concerts?" She asked her eyes peeked with interest. "Is there a lot of people? Is it like this or something different?" It was like she had lived under a rock or something.

As the music began, Shun's gaze shifted towards the orchestra briefly before settling back on Mitsu. It made sense that she had played at a few concerts before, seeing how music seemed to be such a big part of her life. In a way it'd be a pity if she hadn't played at a show before with her level of talent.
Though, her question regarding the rock concerts caused him to raise an eyebrow. Did she really not know? Even if she hadn't been to one personally, she could have seen images or videos either on TV or the internet. Well... he suppose he'd humor her.
"They're very different," he whispered, "The halls are usually less... grand and often outside. Still quite a few people usually.. and just less formal over all. Also it's a lot louder."

The rock concerts sounded interesting. Mitsu wondered if he would take her to one....but then she suddenly wondered why she thought that. He was trying to cheer her up right now so there was no special meaning behind it right? But the thought of spending more time with him and not locked away in her room made a tightness in her chest loosen ever so slightly. Even now she felt a little better than she had in weeks. He was going out of his way to share time with her and it meant a lot.
As the concert continued, the music shifting here and there in a flow of melodies, Mitsu's mind continued to race over a different series of thoughts. If she felt this good now, would spending more time with him help fill this void she felt she had in her heart? Shun didn't seem like the lovey dovey type and he more than likely wasn't interested in her....but maybe for a little bit....he could pretend for her? It might be asking too much but there was no harm in asking....was there?
Or would he think she was weird for asking something so strange and out of the blue? It frightened her a little to think he might turn away, but she yearned so desperately to feel better if only for a moment.
As the concert started to wrap up, Mitsu's expression looked a touch dismal, though her eyes were still keenly focused on the band and the music playing. Her mind just wouldn't rest on an idea that was starting to seem all the more impossible, but she would still falsely believe there was hope.

As there were no further questions for now, Shun's attention shifted onto the music. It was enjoyable enough, though now and then he had to shift slightly in his seat. There were a number of thoughts that drifted in and out of his head, but his generally neutral expression did little to give insight on what was going through his head as usual.
It was usually hard to tell what went on in his mind when he wasn't pissed.
When the orchestra was drawing to a close, he glanced over towards Mitsu who looked a little less pleased than he would have thought. Did this turn out less enjoyable for her than planned?
"You ok there?" he asked quietly as the audience began to clap and the musicians took their bows.

Pulled from her thoughts in the end Mitsu looked up at Shun, "O...oh I'm sorry." She said sheepishly. "I got a little lost in thought near the end." Standing slowly she immediately stepped closer to Shun, the sudden standing making her light headed from the height. "The music was really nice. I really liked this." And for the first time there was a small peek or a smile as she looked up at him. "Thank you for bringing me."

Standing up, ready to head on out, Shun turned towards Mitsu in time to catch the sliver of a smile there. Nodding to her, he glanced towards the exit and started to walk out with her. It was a little relieving to know that this wasn't a waste of time, though even so he wasn't sure how much he had actually helped with her mood in the long run.
"You're welcome. Was there anything else you wanted to do?" he asked, unsure if she was hungry or anything.

"I uh..." When asked what else she wanted to do she faltered. She had an idea that had been tickling the back of her mind, but she wasn't certain how he would take it. She felt bad asking more of him, but maybe she could give him something in return. "Actually....I...I wanted to ask you something." She said nervously suddenly diverting her eyes. A hint of pink started to tint her cheeks as she tried to continue. "I'll wait until we get to the car." She said softly not comfortable asking him within earshot of other people.

Now that had Shun's curiosity going. Nodding to her, he continued on out the Hall while wondering what was on Mitsu's mind. She seemed a little antsy, if not.. possibly ashamed? Unless she was feeling warm which could be the cause of the slight flustering. If that was the case, it was cooler outside so that should fix that up.
Even so, that did little to answer his question.
Sitting back into the driver's seat, he turned towards her, looking to see what she had to say.

Once back in the car Mitsu seemed a little hesitant to continue. "I...I feel bad asking you for something more. You've already done so much for me," She started fidgeting with her fingers. "And this might seem...a bit strange but I just ask you think about it." Cheeks reddening a bit more she looked over at Shun, heart pounding as she tried to rack up the nerve to say what was on her mind.
"W...would you....sleep with me?" She only hesitated a moment longer before she tried to explain. "You don't have to love me, or care for me more than you already do. I don't need or want sweet words I just want...." She tried to put the feeling she was trying to convey into words, staring at her hands as if hoping they would hold the answer. "To feel wanted even if its only for a moment. Maybe not so...alone." She said softly.
"I..I'll understand if you don't want to." She added quickly as if waiting for the rejection that was to follow.

Not expecting that sort of request at all, Shun sat there in silence for awhile, taking in what she had to say. It explained why she seemed antsy at first at least. His expression seemed to soften a little as he considered her words.
"I doubt I'd have a heart to give in the first place," he mused more to himself, "But if that's what'll make you happy, then very well."
It was still a little awkward, in more ways than one for him. It was certainly hard to convey that she was wanted in a sense, even if it wasn't necessarily in a romantic way.
"You're a sweet girl Mitsu; I hate to see you upset," he added while starting the car. There was a pause in his words as he realized they'd need a place. If he recalled, his father wasn't likely to be home right now, "... My home isn't too far from here. We could go there or find some other place."

Mitsu's head almost jerked up when Shun said very well. She had honestly been working herself up for rejection and now that there was no rejection she was at a loss for what to say.
To his comment about not having a heart to give, Mitsu gave a small nod, "Yeah, mine's.....a little broken." She said mostly to herself, her face falling for a moment. At least Shun was easily able to distract her with a problem they would be facing. A place. "You live nearby?" That would be interesting, to see the place Shun called home. To see his house and his room..... And suddenly what she had asked of him caught up with her and she was nervous though she tried not to show it, at least not too much.
"You're a good friend, Shun." She said honestly as she looked back toward him. "You'll have to let me know how I can repay you...for allowing me to be so selfish."
