Video (2/14) - A Valentines' Night on Staryutube

[zukeini]

[While everyone may or may not by celebrating the festivities, a video would come up if you were hanging around Staryutube. Maybe this came up on your Recommended Videos, who knew. Whatever the case, perhaps you were watching this.

Zuke had set up a Staryutube Channel, yes. His very first one.

Clicking on the video there would be a grown man sitting on a stool with a drum set in front of him. His travel one to be precise. The setting was in a rather cozy looking hotel room.

The man seemed to struggle with words at first, looking like he was fumbling a bit nervously. A few chirps later from the crowd to get him to talk and-]

Yeah! Um, hey there. I'm Zuke and...I've been here for a few months and, well...I figured maybe I should set one of these things up. Welcome to my channel, I-

-I play drums.

[A cry from a monkey was heard.]

Right! Okay!

So, uh, I occasionally write songs too. Well, lyrics, anyway.

I know today is a big day for a lot of people so, uh...to start off this channel, I wrote one little thing. I hope you like it.

[He took a deep breath, lifted his drumsticks and played a soft, humble tune on them. The beats were solemn and soft, which matched the look on his face.]

When I woke up this mornin'

I got to see your face

And I

Kept on walkin' in my slow slow pace

And I thought

I never wanted to see anything more right now


If I could

I would

Snap a picture and keep this forever

This feeling

It certainly wasn't the weather


But it hurts that all I can do is

Ask for us to stay like this

For a bit

Just don't go changin' for me...

[The song went mostly light this. In the background, there was silence. Soon, the song would be over, and the screen would fade to black. First video over.]

[Also, on this day, Grant, Kirishima, Claude, Dimitri, Felix, Jynx, Chip, and Jaskier got a small bag via carrier Pidgey. Inside was a bunch of handmade chocolate, filled with a soft fruit jelly. The jelly flavors are strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, and blueberry. Happy Valentines'!!]

I will make sure to take care of myself. The others help to ensure that when I cannot see it clearly.

Although I will say that I could not imagine a single person who would not care about you the moment they met you, Zuke. You are fantastic.

[He stared at this for a good...oh, ten minutes. He never knew how to respond to that.]

You're the best, Dimitri. You really are.

I don't know what I would've done without you.

[nastyboy]

I hope what you would have done would have been to continue to make incredible music. I know that is what helped me, after all.

[...]

I would've always played music. It's what I'm passionate doing. But I don't think anyone's said my music has helped anyone.

[nastyboy]

Well, it did for me. Your drum playing expressed things that words always failed me on.
