I FINALLY FINISHED!! ANIKIIIII! *flexes muscles* (heh...just something i stole from kare kano that i say ^^;;)
I wrote this after seeing episode 10, so if you don't get it, watch up to about there. I was listening to it on the way to school the other day after staying up late and watching pretear, so I thought it would be a good songfic for Sasame and Takako. Note that my DVD's english subtitles are a bit funny (through all 12/13 eps they've called sasame arashi, and in one ep, they called hayate bin AND arashi. if you ask me, it's a bit confusing). the current title is "the sound of your footsteps", but i might change it when i'm done with writing this. the song is "Yellow" by coldplay (which reminds me that i have to dl "trouble" later) I really like this song ^_^ hopefully you'll like my fic

The Sound of Your Footsteps
_____________________

~Look at the stars,
The stars are beautiful tonight.

~Look how they shine for you,
But not as beautiful as you, Takako.

~And everything you do,
Nor are they as brilliant as your smile.

~Yeah, they were all yellow.
They never will be.

~I came along,
I have loved you for sixteen years.

~I wrote a song for you,
But it's probably longer than that.

~And all the things you do,
I can't even measure it.

~And it was called "Yellow."
And I will never be able to, loving you like this.

~So then I took my turn,
The sound of your footsteps,

~Oh what a thing to've done,
hearing your voice,

~And it was all yellow.
nothing can compare to those things.

~Your skin
Not even living like a king,

~Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
or having more money than Himeno's family.

~Turn into something beautiful,
Except for feeling your breath on my cheek

~You know
and your lips on mine.

~You know I love you so,
~You know I love you so.

~I swam across,
What I would do

~I jumped across for you,
if you only loved me.

~Oh what a thing to do.
What I would give,

~Cause you were all yellow,
if you'd only let me have your heart.

~I drew a line,
Cause I know you don't love me.

~I drew a line for you,
But I will keep loving you forever.

~Oh what a thing to do,
No matter what.

~And it was all yellow.
Even on my way to hell and back,

~Your skin,
even while being your servant,

~Oh yeah your skin and bones,
I will love you.

~Turn into something beautiful,
Forever.

~You know,
~For you I'd bleed myself dry,
~For you I'd bleed myself dry.

~It's true, look how they shine for you,
I can sit here forever,

~Look how they shine for you,
just listening.

~Look how they shine for...
Just listening

~Look how they shine for you,
and waiting,

~Look how they shine for you,
for all eternity,

~Look how they shine...
to the sound of your footsteps.

~Look at the stars,
But then they stop.

~Look how they shine for you,
And all I can see is your your beautiful face

~And all the things that you do.
that knows I have been listening to the sound of your footsteps.
