"I don't believe in fate," Nyx said, shaking his head. "It sounds terribly
romantic, fate- But if it's all planned out for us, does free will even
matter? We're here because we wanted to be here, and fortune brought us
back together, not fate."
Nyx nodded a little, pugging in his guitar and strumming a little. He
played a bit, then started to sing, changing just a line or two here and
there. He played through once, then gestured for Willy to join in so they
might play together a bit. After a while they had something that sounded
like a real song.
He called them all in to set up and the producer took his spot behind the
board. It took long enough that Nyx had the time to get truly anxious.
Willy was counting on it because Nyx was electric with the anxiety
of a stage. Putting him on the spot like this was the closest Willy could
get.
Nyx was quiet, clearly in his own head, but once they started playing he
came alive again, singing back and forth with Willy as though they'd never
stopped.

"I can't believe you kept this," he admitted.

He leaned in close.
"Finding you, here and now, was fate. You can't tell me different," he purred.

He picked up a guitar and settled in to play a few tunes to warm up.

The lyrics were familiar and so was the tune, but Willy had made changes to make it more his own style. He sang it once to remind him.
"That's what I've got, but I want you on the track," he said. "You. So make changes."

His excitement was palpable. He didn't want to stop now.
