The kiss had come just as he'd closed his eyes to play the downbeat of the solo. He tried to play from the heart, but something held him back and it just wasn't the same. It wasn't bad, but also wasn't what Hoshiko probably expected from him either. But he was sincerely trying and that had to count for something, right? (OOC: Stupid antisocial applying to playing a guitar...)

Hoshiko had a concerned look. So, as Noboru finished, she reached out and placed a hand on his.
"Hey..." she quickly removed the mic, as that had been louder than intended "hey, are you ok Noboru-kun?"

He nodded slowly, clearly disappointed with his performance as he pulled the guitar off of his shoulder. "Y-yeah. I..it's part of why I don't like playing in front of others, I guess. Sometimes, especially when I feel like it really should matter and I want others to feel it..." He hung his head, "I just clam up."
His dark e yes found her own, an apologetic smile on his face. "I was trying to play it... for us."

"And you did" Hoshiko said softly, giving Noboru's hand a squeeze as she smiled at him "we played for each other, as we've done for the past two days. And we'll do for the next..however long we want to."
She placed her guitar down carefully, unhooked herself from her portable amp, then moved to give Noboru a hug.

He just smiled at Hoshiko, then leaned in to kiss her on the forehead.
"Guess I'm just trying t-too hard, then. I'll relax, I promise."

"You don't need to push yourself Noboru-kun. Honest. You're already like, the best non-famous rockstar in the school" she grinned at him, a slight blush on her cheeks still visible from the kiss "and I really like playing music with you. We can just like...enjoy each other's company as she share music with the world around us."

The Mirumoto squeezed Hoshiko's hand, blushing softly as he thought about something.
"What if I said I think I like playing for you more than I like playing with you?"
Okay, that was a little awkwardly worded, but hopefully he got the point he was trying to convey across and not 'I don't want to play with you anymore', which is how that sounded.

Hoshiko opened her mouth, went to speak, then closed it. Her face went a very nice shade of cherry red as she managed to find a word.
"Oh."
She looked down at her feet for a few moments, before a little shy smile came to her face.
"W-well...that's ok too! I mean, I...well...I like playing for you as well. And being with you. And..." she just moved forward to hug him, tightly (which, being a little weak Crane, wasn't very tight) and buried her face into his chest. Doing a not-so-subtle way of hiding her blush.

Noboru just hugged Hoshiko for as long as she wanted, even though half the school probably anticipated more music and those who'd gathered to watch and listen instead got to see a rather touching scene between two people the tabloids had claimed were already much more than they were.
The Dragon smiled a little, whispering under his breath as he did his best to sing, "♪ Never opened myself this way. Life is ours, we live it our way ♪"...

Hoshiko closed her eyes, enjoying the sound of the boy singing quietly just to her. It felt really sweet.
"All these words I don't just say~" she opened her eyes, looking up at his face "and nothing else matters."
