Well here's a little something I thought of, and there will be a chapter two, I thought of this whole plot and everything, so it shouldn't be too long for chapter two... in fact I might just start after I finish chapter one...
I hope you guys like the format;) I also hope you guys figure out the pattern in the format;)
And I still, don't own this... yet.
Kuroko sat on his bed reading one of his favorite books again, he sighed setting the book down, as the door to his house slammed open. He stood calmly, walking to the door of his room. He stood there unsure of whether he really wanted to open the door, unsure of whether he wanted to face the storm behind the door.
Kuroko turned the cold, silver doorknob, knowing he couldn't hide forever. He walked down a long white hallway into his living room where his drunk father was sluring around. "Good evening father," he muttered causing the unshaven man in front of him his jump around and glare at him with beady eyes.
"Whawat hauve eye touald yoau `bout thaat," he slured grumpily, raising his hand, and slapping Kuroko right accross the face. "Huh," he grabbed the small boy by his shirt and brought him up to his face. He hated the blank stare that came his way, no fear, no nothing. He wanted a reaction, "Answer me when I'm talking you ungrateful bastard," he growled punching Kuroko.
"I believe you have told me not to," Kuroko murmured seeming unfazed by his father's increasing violence.
"You believe," he growled, well why don't I make you certain. The man grabbed Kuroko's arm tightly and pushed him as hard as he could back onto a wall. Somehow Kuroko manged to keep a straight face through the pain that exploded throughout his body.
Kuroko stared blankly at his father refusing to back down, refusing to be scared, he refused.
His father's alcohol coated made the boy's skin crawl, yet he didn't flinch when his father leaned forward to say, "what's wrong don't want to show me how scared you are. Ha, just like your mother, stubborn and stupid." The man sent a punch right at Kuroko's face causing the boy to fall to the floor. He knew it was pointless to use his misdirection at this point, once his father got like this, there was no way to get away.
So Kuroko did the one thing he knew would lend him strength at this point and tolerate it without showing emotion.
He closed his eyes and pictured his mother.
Her bright smile, and long blonde hair that look white and seemed to glow whenever you saw her, the look of health and happiness. He liked to remember her this way, before cancer took hold of her.
Slam
She had the most amazing voice. When she sang it was as if an angel were singing. She was an Angel.
Bam
Kuroko took a shakey breath before singing under his breath.
If you be be my *star*
Slam
I'll be your *sky*
Crash
you can hide *underneath*
"What are you doing boy?"
me and come out at night
"What you think your mom's pretty little songs will help you?"
when I turn jet
"You're a pathetic piece of shit you know that?"
Slap
black and you show off your light...
"I'll teach you to think about that whore"
I live to let you
shine
*I live to let you
shine*
"You don't deserve to live"
but you can skyrocket
away from me...
He could remember her words.
"Everyone has a place in this world Tetsuya, everyone, and I hope one day you'll find yours, but just remember that it's not always about winning. It's about holding onto the things that really matter, like love, family, and friendship. It's the ties like these that keep us strong, not just your physical abilities. It's about doing what you love. So promise me Testu, to never, give up on what you love no matter how difficult, no matter if you lose, or get hurt, keep going just because you want to. I hope you find your place in this world. I hope you find a light to your shadow."
And then she was gone.
He never got to say goodbye
"You'll never be anything if you don't straighten out."
and never come back
If you find
another galaxy
"She left because she was weak"
far from here
with more room to
*fly*
"You're no better, pathetic"
just leave me your
*stardust*
to remember you by...x
Kuroko didn't care. He didn't care at all.
If you be my
*boat*
His mother once told him that his father was like night, and she was proud to be his day.
I'll be your
*sea*
When Kuroko asked her his equation she thought for a moment before saying that he was like the shadow that came from the light of day and was overcome by the night.
a depth of
pure blue just
to probe
*curiosity*
He didn't care.
ebbing and flowing...
He didn't care anymore.
and *pushed* by
His father struck him once more, he'd broughten the bat out to play.
a breeze
The force knocked Kuroko back slamming into his mother's old china cabinet, shattering it on impact.
I live to make you
As wet, thick, sticky ooze began to dampen his clothes, he pushed the pain away, he wasn't going to give in.
free
"There you happy now boy? You happy?"
*I live to set you
The man threw Kuroko by his blue hair out the backdoor, shattering the glass on impact.
He choke a scream back biting his tongue as more shards of glass embeded themselves into his pale, fragile skin.
free*
The crystal-like pieces of glass that fell around him, made the stars in cold night sky look as if they were falling.
but you can set
sail to the
The crack
of bones
west if you
want to...
For Kuroko his world fell apart.
And past the
horizon till I
can't even
*see* you...
His hand hit the cold concrete
landing on broken glass
his broken world
blown away like grass
far from here
where the
beaches are
wide...
Kuroko forced his eyes open
looking up at the night sky
making sure that his broken
world didn't say goodbye
just leave me
your *wake*
to remember
you bye...x
because in the end
it was all he had
there was no one to send
a letter of the bad
If you be my
*star*
it was just him
In his broken, twisted world
there was no them
so he curled
I'll be your
*sky*
in a little ball
and wished all
was well
As he fell
you can hide
*underneath*
me and come
The pain
never stops
there was nothing to gain
the ball drops
out at night
the game
is lost
the pain
at what cost
when I turn jet
black and you
show off your
light...
All he has now
are the broken
are the memories of how
his life was taken
I live to let you
shine
in a single moment
when he was playing
an opponent
there would be no more saying
*I live to let you
shine*
goodbye
the moment was gone
she was lost in the sky
like this lonely song
but you can
skyrocket
away from
me...
his blood pooled
around him
his cooled
skin made his
and never come
back if you find
another galaxy
lungs frozen
vision hazy
his rosen
cheeks, this is crazy
far from here
with more room
to *fly*
heavy eyes
labored breath
no time for goodbyes
it's time for death
just leave me your
*stardust*
to remember
One last sigh
you by...x
one last breath
stardust to
*remember*
you by...x
Farewell
to the fallen skies
time for hell
no more hi's
no more goodbyes
No more goodbyes.
Well hope you guys liked it, I worked pretty hard on it. I tried my best with the rhyming-sigh- I'm no poet, but I did try.
P.S the song is called Boats and Birds by Gregory and the hawk. And I don't own it either...unfortunately.
If you guys have any feedback all is welcome.
