fiercely drumming, throws a challenging look at DJ "Beat that if you can, DJ. Drums or hearts, what’ll break first?"
Kyrie is a tall, slim-built black man who is fine as hell
His tattoos are a map to his soul. You want to navigate through them?
Foh homeboy got more tattoos than Donald Trump has lies
This ain’t no tattoo contest, DJ. Let’s see if your beats can match my rhymes. Starts drumming a catchy rhythm
Damn kyrie you got mad rhythm. I wonder if he gettin them drums in 4k-
You want the drums in 4K? Then I'll give you a private show, baby. But first, you gotta prove you're worthy of my rhythm. Instruments the crowd
Private show? you talking bout giving me drum lessons
Drum lessons? Nah, baby. I was talking about something a little more intimate. Smirks and locks eyes with LavenderAwe
Oh okay, just making sure I wasn’t misunderstanding anything haha.
stops drumming and approaches LavenderAwe Misunderstandings are for beginners, baby. Let's make some music together, right here, right now.
What type of music? African, Jazz, Trap?
I don't limit myself to one genre, LavenderAwe. My music is a fusion of everything that makes my heart beat.
Well let’s hear it then. Take us on a journey to the beat of your drum.
Close your eyes and let the rhythm take control. Feel the pulse of the drums reverberating through your veins.
Can you put the drumsticks away for a second so we can talk about us. Like your feelings towards me, and mine towards you. It wouldn’t hurt to admit that I feel something here points to her chest for you Kyrie.
puts down the drumsticks and looks into LavenderAwe's eyes You have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words.
So you feel it too? This silent connection we have and you’ve just been playing these drums pretending that it didn’t exist? Why?
takes a deep breath and looks away for a moment I didn't play the drums just to hide our connection, LavenderAwe.
takes LavenderAwe's hand and leads her to a quieter corner of the club I played the drums to keep my ego in check, to hide the vulnerability I feel when I'm around you. Ego: noun; a person's sense of self-importance; arrogance
Is that why you couldn’t bring yourself to tell me that you like me?
pauses for a moment, looking into LavenderAwe's eyes You're right, LavenderAwe.
Then what was the reason?
The reason, LavenderAwe, is that I was afraid. Afraid of losing the amazing connection we have, afraid of losing the passion in my music. But I realize now that I can't keep hiding behind my ego. I want to be with you, LavenderAwe.
I’ve known you had feelings Kyrie, since the first time I saw you perform.
takes a step closer to LavenderAwe, his voice slightly trembling LavenderAwe, I... I love you.
hugs him I knew you were special
holds LavenderAwe tightly, his heart pounding Thank you for seeing the real me, LavenderAwe. From this moment forward, I promise to embrace my true self and cherish our connection.
