Jon froze and looked up. Love.
That's what I'm fe- no, shut up...
Jon returned his gaze to his cello while his eyes glazed as he began to reminisce.
-"Oh... thanks. I was laughed at by my friends for playing something like this. I didn't exactly live in one of the nicest neighborhoods so you're basically either a rockstar, dj, or a rapper if you're a musician. No room for anything classic."
Jon smiled then plucked one of the strings, then returned his gaze to Lcve.
-"You sing beautifully. Like, you'll be known through time for it. I'm still pretty sure a human can't sing like you can. Meanwhile me... well, cellists aren't exactly well-known solo artists or anything. Only among people who listen to the music."

"Yeah, well doesn't it only take one person to change something?" Love said, "And I'm sorry if that sounded too cheesy." She didn't want to ask about his life before; it seemed to her that they were in a delicate balance and she didn't want to wreck it by being nosy.
She waited a few seconds, watching the way his fingers moved against the strings, creating the music. "Can I come in?"

-"Oh, yeah, sure."
Jon stood up and began moving things around, to make it seem a bit less messy. He kicked a dirty pair of polka-dotted underwear under his bed as he quickly grabbed a small bag and threw it into a drawer. He moved magazines, cd's, and other random things to make it more clean. He finally crudely made his bed and sat on it, leaving the one chair open for her.
-"So, uh, how's your classes going?"

Love tried not to smile at the polka-dotted underwear that she saw him kick. When he finally sat down on the bed, obviously feeling like the room was clean enough, she walked in. She understood that he wanted her to sit down on the chair, but she was a little peeved at how self-conscience he had made her feel that morning, so she sat next to him on the bed.
"Okay I guess. My teach is Tabby Maderine, she's actually the older sister of my best friend. How about you?" she smiled sweetly at him, and bent over so she could prop her elbows on her knees and her head on her fists.

Jon made a comical angry face when Love sat next to him. She was doing this to spite him. Well, two could play at that game. Jon then quickly thought of a plan and held up his right hand, the one opposite of Love.
-"Well, see... my skill's right here. And what I'm going for is waaaaaaaay over here."
When he began saying 'way' he took his left hand and put it on the other side of Love, to where he had smoothly or not-so-smoothly put his arm around Love. He let his arms go limp and he began playing with your hair.
-"But, my teacher's pretty cool. It's Rufus Cappadocia. I just like his style of playing."

Love swallowed hard when Jon put his arm around her. Leaning back a little into his arm, she said, "That's pretty cool." He started to play with her hair, and she knew that he was just teasing her. She wasn't going to let that go without returning the favor.
"You're a tease, you know that?" she asked in a whisper before snuggling into his side.

When she snuggled, Jon swallowed. Admittedly, what he thought would happen went completely different from what really did, but hey, score for him.
-"Yeah. Then again, you're just as much of a tease."
This time Jon wrapped his arms around her side so she couldn't escape then began his attack. He began tickling and fondling her sides, the spot he found most people to be ticklish. Especially girls.

Love let out a shriek when he started to tickle her. Grabbing at his hands, she twisted and turned, trying to get away from him. Suddenly, she fell back, and, because his arms were around her, he landed on top of her. They both stilled.
Staring into his eyes, Love blushed deeply. His face was so close, it would just be so easy to kiss him, but she wouldn't. At least not now. Sliding her hands up to his shoulders, she pushed him away and then stood up. She didn't want to leave, so she just sat down again in the chair.
"So....How do you like it here so far?"

Jon sat back on his bed after that moment on the floor. His eyes had went wide and as he sat back down on his bed it was his time to blush. He scratched the back of his head when she asked him the question.
-"Yeah. It's great."

"You know, most people would ask how I'm doing after answering," Love said flirtingly, almost as if the previous incident hadn't happened, trying to end the akward silence and stares that were passing between the two of them. "But since you didn't, I'll wait patiently." With that, she tipped the chair back and started to hum.

Jon looked up and curled his upper lip. -" Fine. How do you like it here so far?" Jon stood up, walked up to Love and reached past her, turning on a stereo. It began blaring Welcome by Slipknot midway, and he immediately hit the next button out of instinct. He was about to change the disk when he heard Vermilion start to play. He went back to his seat and began to mutter the lyrics under his breath while he listened to Love.

"Yeah, well it's okay for the most part. I'm amazed that I haven't gotten lost yet with all the hallways and junk here." When he turned on some music behind her, she felt how close he had gotten to her and felt bad when he moved back to sit on the bed.
She saw him mouthing the lyrics and she remembered how close she had come to kissing him. No, don't think about that...just don't, she yelled at herself, only making her think of it more.
"Have you al-al-ACHOO!!" she sneezed loudly, and then continued, "Have you always wanted to play the cello?"

Jon shrugged at her comment.
-"I only know where I sleep, eat, and practice. So far, that's all I need to know."
Jon began fiddling with some frayed string from his bed.
-"No... I used to play bass guitar and I planned on being in the big rock band and all that... then I began listening to more and more music then I found this video on Youtube of Rufus Cappadocia... it was amazing. It was a pairing between him and Bethany Yarrow, she was singing while he played cello. It was amazing. Not only could she sing, but he played amazingly. The entire time without a bow or anything. He just plucked the entire time and it sounded great."
Jon looked up at Love, worry in his eyes.
-"You alright? You're not getting sick, are you?"

"No," Love replied to Jon, rubbing at her nose. "It's probably just allergies or something. Trust me, when I'm sick, I get it quick and I get it bad." she paused as she thought about his comment about how he wanted to play cello.
"That video you were talking about, was it 900 miles, 'cos I think I've seen that one. And you're right, pretty amazing the entire thing." She smiled to show that she wasn't being sarcastic.

-" Yeah, 900 miles. It's great..." Jon was smiling again as the song finished he saw the remote out of the corner of his eye and grabbed it, stopping the song from continuing. Jon pressed the button for the next disk, and Macro by Depeche Mode began to play. -" So what all kind of music do you like?"
