COULD YOU EVER LOVE ME -
LEMMY/KOTONE - A "TO HEART" SONGFIC
This songfic uses the song "The Flame" By
Cheap Trick.
("Another night slowly closes in, and I feel so
lonely,
Touching heat freezing on my skin, I pretend you
still hold me")
Evening closes in on the city of Tokyo, and at the
Himekawa residence, Kotone is in her bedroom, sitting at her desk, staring
blankly at her diary she just finished writing in.
Something has been bothering Kotone for some time.
For the past few weeks, she has been thinking of somebody. The somebody
that she has been pining for, the somebody that she wants to be close to, the
somebody she needs to reach out to.
("I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep, I'm in too
far, I'm in way too deep over you, I can't believe you're gone. You were the
first, you'll be the last")
The somebody is Lemmy Miyauchi. The perky,
free-spirited, striped-sock wearing blonde. This infatuation with her is
something not even Kotone herself understands. But what she does understand is
that she has fallen in love with Lemmy.
("Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you
want, I'll give it to you".)
But the two have completely different
personalities. While Lemmy is perky, free-spirited, and not afraid to express
herself, Kotone is shy, introverted, and fearful. She has extra-sensory powers
and can detect when something bad happens.
Like last night:
The Saturday night, Lemmy went on a date with a guy
named Freddie. He just came off from a breakup with another girl from a
neighboring high school. He and lemmy seem to hit it off, or so it seemed.
Kotone was shopping with her mother only two blocks to where Lemmy and Freddie
were having their date. It was at the arcade where they were having their date.
Conicidence, maybe? Kotone suddenly got a vision - a very scary vision, of
Freddie viciously striking Lemmy in the face
during a heated argument. Thinking only of her beloved Lemmy, Kotone excused
herself and ran as fast as she could to scene of the incident.
("Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and
head upon, Remember after the fire, After all the rain, I will be the
flame")
She arrived at the arcade just in time to see
Freddie raise his hand to strike Lemmy. She charged at him, shoved him away from
Lemmy as hard as she could. The force of the shove made Freddie lose his balance
and tripped backwards over a crack in the
pavement, sending him falling flat on his back, hitting his head on a lamp post,
knocking his unconscious.
("I will be the flame")
"You leave her alone, you jerk!!", Kotone screamed
at a fallen and still unconscious Freddie. "and don't you ever lay a hand
on her again!" Lemmy stood in shock, speechless as to what happened. Kotone
slowly but fearfully turned to Lemmy as to say, "Lemmy, I'm sorry". But she
remained silent, and ran back to where her mother was shopping. "Hey,
Kotone....", Lemmy called out, but Kotone didn't respond. All she did was to
continue to run.
("Watching shadows move across the wall, Feels so
freight'ning,
I wanna run to you, I wanna call, But I've been hit
by lightning")
Kotone's eyes filled with tears as she looked at
her diary. "How can I make somebody like Lemmy ever love me, let
alone like me?", she thinks sadly, "were two different people from two
different worlds. The only time I can use my powers is when someone close to me
is in danger. I've never loved or cared for anyone as much as I do for
Lemmy. But now can I bring myself to tell her what's really in my
heart?"
("Just can't stand up for falling apart, Can't see
through this veil across my heart over you. You'll always be the one. You
were the first, You'll be the last")
Kotone picks up a picture of Lemmy that she keeps
sitting at her desk. "Lemmy, I wish I could have the courage to say how I truly
feel about you", she thinks to herself, tears falling down her
cheeks,
("Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you")
"do you know I even exist, Lemmy? Could you ever
imagine the two of us together?"
("Whenever you need someone, to lay your heart and
hand upon. Remember, after the fire, after all the rain. I will be the flame. I
will be the flame".)
she puts the photo back down on her desk, "we have
to make it work out, Lemmy, somehow", she gets up slowly from her desk and walks
over to the bed, "I love you, Lemmy. I wish I could say these words to
you".
("I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. I'm in way too
far, I'm in way too deep over you. You'll always be the one. You were the first,
you'll be the last")
She lays down on the bed and weeps
softly.
A few minutes later....a knock on Kotone's
door.....
"Go away", Kotone whimpers, "please leave me
alone".
"Hey, Kotone. It's me, Lemmy", answers the one
knocking on the door, "Lemmy Miyauchi".
"Lemmy?", Kotone asks weakly, not believing
her ears, "is that really you, Lemmy?"
"Yeah, Kotone, it's really me", replies Lemmy, "can
I come in? I need to talk to you?"
Kotone slowly gets herself off of her bed and
walked toward the door. "H-h-hold on, Lemmy", she stammers, "I'm coming". She
opens the door and standing in front of her is the one who's special to her
heart. "Oh, Lemmy", she smiles as she takes Lemmy's hand, "what brings you
here?"
("Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you
want, I'll give it to you")
"I wanted to thank you for last week, Kotone",
replies Lemmy, "if you hadn't have shown up, that jerk would have let me have it
for good".
"I didn't want to see you get hurt, Lemmy", nods
Kotone as she pulls Lemmy into her bedroom. "I was so worried about you,
Lemmy".
"I didn't know if it was coincidence or just plain
old perfect timing," smiles Lemmy as she hugs Kotone tightly, "but whatever
it was, Kotone, you turned out to be a great friend to me".
("Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you
want, I'll give it to you")
Kotone wraps her arms tightly around Lemmy's
waist. "You mean so much to me, Lemmy. I was so afraid to tell you this, but
there is something I need to tell you", she says as tears fills her eyes and
falls down her cheeks, "something that comes from deep in my
heart".
"What is it, Kotone?", Lemmy asks as she brushes
Kotone's hair back from her face.
"I....I......I......I love you, Lemmy", replies
Kotone tearfully, "I love you so much". She buriesher face in Lemmy's
shoulder, weeping softly.
("Wherever you go, I'll be with you. And whatever
you want, I'll give it to you")
"And....I love you, too, kid", smiles Lemmy as she
cradles Kotone's head in her arms, "and that's coming from my
heart".
NOTE: This songfic may seem a bit OOC and unlikely,
but I don't care. I like the Kotone/Lemmy pairing, and to this day, this
remains as my favorite "To Heart" yuri
couple.
