《Aatrox, A God King in a Modern World.》31 - Backstreet Aatrox

"Here, I think it's out of tune and the strings must be old, but it's still usable," Amanda said as she held the black guitar she had found in the basement.
Aatrox looked at the instrument and held it curiously. It was a black guitar, his eyesight improved, cracks in the strings could be seen, but none had broken. Strumming the strings Aatrox's curiosity peaked, He just wanted to fight in his old life, but now he wanted to do other things, and playing this instrument seems like a lot of fun.
"Son, since you got interested in the guitar, how about I recommend you a song for you to try to learn to play?" Amanda saw an opportunity to teach him about love and couldn't pass up.
"Sure, let's go to my room, you show me which song is on the computer." Aatrox said absently as he watched the fascinating guitar.
"Hear, I listened to this song a lot when you were your siblings' age," Amanda said as she put a song to play on youtube.
An acoustic guitar riff played in the background while what appeared to be a band took turns singing.
" Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, Yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are, You are, You are ...
Don't wanna hear you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, y-and-eah )
Ain't nothin ' but a heartache
Ain't nothin ' but a mistake
( Don't wanna hear you say )
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Yeah-eah-eah. "
Aatrox listened to Backstreet Boys and found it interesting. It was very different from the song he had heard in the car yesterday. Closing his eyes, Aatrox began to pay attention to the sound of the guitar playing in the background and with the little, he learned on his way over the guitar strings as he went upstairs, Aatrox began trying to strum the music on the guitar.

At first, only strange and nonsense sounds were coming out, Amanda seeing her son trying to play the music was fun, but said nothing, even though she knew it would be almost impossible for him to play the music the first time he heard it. But as the music progressed, the noises that were coming out were making more and more sense. When the song ended, the noises produced by the guitar remained bad, but not as unbearable as in the beginning.
Knowing this was the first time Benjamin had ever played guitar, Amanda was amazed. She knew very well that not even Alex could learn to play a song that way after so many years without playing, much less her son who had never tried.
'Maybe he has talent?' Amanda thought excitedly.
"Brother, this is very strange." Bryan said with a frown.
"Yes, I still need to improve. But in a few days, I'll play a really cool song for you, okay? "Aatrox said a little embarrassed to play so badly.
"OK!! You're going to play a lot of songs for us to sing with you, brother! "Said Bruna excitedly.
"Since your brother is so busy, let's let him practice some kids. How about we go to buy some new strings for him? "Amanda said with a smile as she led the kids into the living room leaving Aatrox alone in the room.
"We will! Maybe brother will play guitar better with the new strings we buy, "said Bryan excitedly.
Being left alone in the room, Aatrox played Play again and strummed the guitar again.
...
Entering home after work, Alex heard the sound of a guitar being played in one of the rooms and was curious to check after finding no one at home.
Arriving in the bedroom, Alex saw his son, Benjamin sitting in concentration holding the old guitar he used to play. 'Amanda must have given it to him.' He thought.

Alex didn't knock and stood listening to Benjamin's ring. Sounding like some Backstreet Boys song, Alex paid attention to the Riff and saw that although some notes were a little wrong, overall it was doing well, maybe a layperson didn't even realize the mistakes. Alex realized that Benjamin was not singing while playing. 'Maybe he doesn't like to sing? Hm, how about I encourage you? ' Alex smiled after having an idea.
When Benjamin started playing the song again, Alex entered the room and began singing along with the song.
"Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way..."
Benjamin looked at him in surprise and Alex hinted at his son accompanying him while singing the song. Benjamin remembered the lyrics and began singing along with his father.
"...But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
Am I, your fire?
Your one, desire
Yes I know, it's too late
But I want it that way..."
Unbeknownst to both of them, shortly before Alex came into the room to sing with Aatrox, Amanda had arrived and started recording with her cell phone, since Aatrox started playing until the end of the song where they both sang together with a smile on their face, everything was recorded by Amanda.
"Very good! Have you been learning to play the guitar since you woke up from the accident, son? "Alex asked with a satisfied smile.
"No, I started learning today a few hours ago." Aatrox said.
"What?! Did you start learning today?!?!?!" Alex asked, startled. When he had begun to learn to play the guitar, to finally play a song well, it took several weeks. To sing and play at the same time were a few more weeks of training.
"True, he said he wanted to experiment with what it is like to play an instrument and I gave him your guitar to try. We even went out to buy new strings. "Amanda said as she raised her hand holding the bundle of new strings to change on the guitar. "Although I know he had talent, I didn't think he was going to learn just in those few hours I went out with the kids."
"My brother is amazing!" Bryan said with bright eyes.
"Yes! No one is smarter than my brother. "Bruna said as she ran to hug Aatrox.
"I took the opportunity to record you singing, why don't you put it on youtube for me, Benjamin? That way I'll be able to send the link for my friends to see. "Amanda said with a smile as she watched Alex's slightly embarrassed face.
"Alright, give me your cell phone." Aatrox replied thinking it normal. He had not yet learned to use mana while playing but was pleased with the current progress.
What Aatrox didn't expect was that some people would relate voice and hair to a certain swordsman who was on trending topics because of a certain play.

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
