Bururu
Bururu is sitting alone in a park on a bench. It's late evening, cold out, and on one seemed to be around...
Bururu is mumbling to herself, but it can't be heard clearly.
That is until she decides that she needs to let the emotion out...
So she starts singing a song that she heard and can't get out of her mind... A song that seemed to illustrate the turmoil she felt perfectly...
"The lights go out all around me." She started to sing.
"One last candle to keep out the night.
And then the darkness surrounds me.
I know I'm alive, but I feel like I've died..." Bururu began to cry a little bit, and sniffle quietly...
Kuemomo
Kuemomo sat in a tree, folding paper airplanes and tossing them into the air, sighing when they fell to the ground. He never was able to make them correctly.
Suddenly, a song drifted to him. A familiar one, but not the same voice. He glanced over to the source and trotted up behind the Keronian on a bench, continuing where she left off.
"And all that's left is to accept that it's over.
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made.
I try to keep warm, but I just grow colder.
I feel like I'm slipping away..." On the last word, Kuemomo leaned on the back of the bench and looked at her, smiling softly. Remembering that song had brought sadness to his own heart.
"Now, why are you singing such a painful song, hm?" He spoke softly.
Bururu
Bururu was startled by the voice and quickly turned to see Kuemomo standing just behind her.
She turned back around just as quickly, with her head lowered, she was sure she must look pitiful... "No reason." She answered quietly.
Kuemomo
"Tch. We both know that isn't a real answer." The Major walked around the bench and sat beside her with his sketch pad and a warm smile.
"If you won't tell me why you're sad, at least tell me a way to cheer you up. You seem like you could use a friend." His smile turned into a smirk, thinking of ways to make her smile.
Bururu
Bururu just shrugged, too upset to give an answer. Most people would leave her alone after awhile of her not talking to them, so maybe he would too. Not that she didn't want someone to cheer her up, but it seemed like a lost cause at this point. She felt completely alone.
Kuemomo
His smile faded and he made a discontented face. "Don't be like that." He reached over and wiped her cheek with his thumb, then started playing with his sketch pad.
He painted a bouquet of flowers and let it come to life in his hand. And rather than leave, as he could see she seemed like she wanted, he handed it to her. "Here. Don't be sad. I'm here to make you feel better!"
Bururu
Bururu stiffened a bit when he touched her cheek but relaxed when he pulled his hand away. She watched him draw the bouquet of flowers and was surprised to see them become real.
She took the flowers from him and held them in her hands. They bouquet was very beautiful, and she found herself admiring each individual flower within it.
"Arigato, thank you, but why...?"
Kuemomo
He smiled warmly. "Because, I haven't been doing so great recently, and making other people smile is what I truly enjoy." He painted out a few butterflies and let them flutter around. "Besides, if I were to leave you here, alone, something could happen to you. I'd feel awful if it did."
Kuemomo looked over at her and gave her a calm look. "Still don't want to tell me what's wrong?"
Bururu
Bururu started to tear up more, two tears fell down either of her cheeks. thinking about what was wrong made her more upset.
She tried to reply but her voice only came out as a choked sound. So she just nodded a no.
Kuemomo
Kuemomo's smiled dropped. He wasn't making it better. "Don't cry..." Hesitantly, he pulled her into a hug. "I can't stand to see someone so sweet crying..."
He let her go and sang quietly. He sang a song that always reminded him the toughest parts were coming to an end. ((Little Wonders - Rob Thomas))
"Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder.
Don't you know
The hardest part is over?
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you.
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels..."
Bururu
Bururu listened to him begin to sing and smiled a little, and the more he sang the bigger her smile got.
Kuemomo
Kuemomo noticed her smile and decided to finish his song.
"In these small hours,
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate...
These twists & turns of fate,
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate.
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These little wonders still remain..."
On the last note and smiled brightly and dipped his head, a little embarrassed. He never did like to sing infront of people and wondered why he had decided to do so now.
Bururu
"S-son'nani arigato, thank you so much...I feel a little better now..." She smiled, it was a sad smile, but still an honest one.
Kuemomo
"You're welcome..." He stood and offered her his hand. "Come on. You really shouldn't be out here alone." A warm smile crossed his face; he wouldn't be satisfied until a genuinely happy smile graced her cheeks.
Bururu
Bururu nodded and took hold of his hand. "Okay."
Kuemomo
Kuemomo guided her away from the park and to a restaurant. "Maybe some food will make you feel better." He smiled brightly, sitting down with her. "Still don't want to tell me what's wrong?"
Bururu
"It's just...I...Feel. I don't know... I always tell people I feel 'sick' but that's not really it... I feel weak all the time, lightheaded, and dizzy...And I know it's not this extreme, but," Her eyes started to water some. "I think that I'm going to die soon or something...Because my mom had these problems when she was younger and now she has them and other problems and she's always in the hospital because of it and she almost died once her heart even stopped for a second! And, and...!" Bururu was shaking and crying lightly now. She was taking deep breaths to try and calm herself down but it didn't seem to do much good...
Kuemomo
Kuemomo reached over and held her hand gently. "Hey... It's ok... I know that you're worried, but remember, life is always upsetting if you don't live it it how you want to. If you think you're going to die, why not live life how you want?" He smiled warmly, trying to calm her down. "Is there anything you always wanted to do?"
Bururu
Bururu relaxed a bit, but was hiccuping slightly every so often. "Not really no...Well... flying but..."
Kuemomo
He chuckled at her hiccups and jumped at her, hoping to scare them away. "If you want to fly, then you should~ Where do you want to fly to?"
Bururu
Bururu was startled and the hiccuping stopped. "I never really thought about where..."
Kuemomo
"Well... If you want to fly, you should! If that's what'd make you happy." He smiled and thought for a minute. "Want to go fly somewhere?"
Bururu
Bururu looked excited. "Ya, if we can I'd love that!"
((I don't know why but Bururu is very kiddish in this Rp... ~Bururu-Mangaka))
