001 When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne
She never thought that someone could penetrate her defenses as deeply as he had done. She had never noticed how close she and he had become for she had never wished or even dreamed of getting sentimentally attached to a person.
As a child, she was always confined and alone – bound by human ethics and the double-edged glamor of the world of the rich. Because of this, she turned out to be an eccentric adult – she even killed people. She was a killer, with blood of countless people on her hands.
That's why she never expected to meet a person who would accept her for who she was and love everything about her. It was all a distant delusion – romance and love, until she met him. His face was empty and devoid of all emotion whilst she poured out all of her aggravation. It was then that something clicked between them. Immediate attraction or love at first sight if you would call it.
From the very first meeting of tears and attempted murder, their relationship fell into place. The first kiss they shared, though feigned for many contained love, nevertheless. She wanted to believe that it would be forever. She wanted him to stay with her. She wanted to stop becoming a monster for his sake, and she knew that he wanted to become more human for her as well.
It was a mutually-felt devotion that connected them to one another.
When everything was so perfect – tragedy so joyously destroyed her world and his death became the loss of everything she had. Karma decided to pay her back for all the wrong she had done in the past as Hollywood.
And now she was once again alone, bound to his bittersweet memory as she mourned for him.
002 In Like a Lion – Relient K
An uncharacteristic smile graced his features as memory hit him when he saw pure white snow falling from the sky. His arms tightened around his lover's waist which resulted to a soft gasp from the latter. Nonetheless, she continued on doing what she was doing before he caught her off guard, but a smile, ever so wide, present on her pretty face.
He hugged her tighter and demanded for recognition from his girlfriend of a few months. "Kasuka? What's the matter?" she asked, finally. She gave up on making dessert as it would appear her lover had no intention of letting her finish.
"It's snowing…"
"It is…"
"I remember how we first met…"
And then she too smiled as she also recalled how she came flying from the other side of Ikebukuro and landed on the younger Heiwajima's car like a flake of snow.
003 Way Back into Love by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett
They were asked to sing a duet together, surprisingly, exactly on the date of their first anniversary. Whether their managers connived with each other to force their agency or the fans demanded they sing together on her concert, which just so happens to be on the day they got together.
Being the evil, little managers they were, they locked the couple in one of the agency's meeting rooms and left them alone so they could discuss what they wanted to sing together. What's worse was the two absolutely made it clear that they will, at any cost, help them choose and practice, demanded they perfect their routine if they didn't want any trouble in their careers and expected them to select a song that would officially be announced as their theme song.
The company planned to make them an item to boost both their popularity – it would seem, and along the process, the people who were supposed to guide them along the way of stardom had weird teasing fetishes.
Perfect. Just perfect.
Not that they minded much – in reality, they were somehow grateful for the time they get to spend with each other because of the insanity of their agency. They've been stuck inside the same room for approximately an hour with nothing but extreme brain-storming of good songs and pathetic excuses for petty talk without much success on finding the right song.
Then suddenly, as if some greater force possessed them at the same time, their eyes locked, and finally, after 60 minutes of hard work, they agreed on the perfect song, even without the confirmation of words.
They both smiled as they whispered at the same time the title of the song that had come into their minds.
"Way Back into Love…"
004 Nice Piece of Art by FM Static
She tried not to let anyone in until she met him for all her words and conversations were always planned – always within societal etiquette, and never just talking to let out how she felt. Everything passed through her eyes like a merry-go-round; she never got anywhere for she remained stuck at the same spot, just turning around and around – an endless cycle.
He tried not to let anyone in until he met her. It took time for him a long time to figure out that he had always been complacent. He always put his brother's safety first and eventually, when he realized it, he too had become a monster devoid of feeling anything,, his head was stuck in the clouds, and he'd always watched people from a distance, never getting too close to avoid getting hurt
They knew perfectly of the darkness they had, and the moment they set eyes on each other – they knew. They knew of the pain and sadness and inhumanity the other felt.
Now every time they feel reality slipping past them, they just grip the hand inside their own that fits so perfectly well together and they make each other feel – feel reality, feel freedom, feel love. And no matter how the world seemed to fall apart, they felt complete- as long as they had each other, they felt that everything around them was picture-perfect.
005 Until the Day I Die by The Story of the Year
Until the day he died, he would spill his heart for her, and only for her. Likewise, until the day she died, she would spill hers out only for him, for his sake alone.
The time they spent together wasn't enough – it was never enough. Even though they called each other every day when they were free, even though they spent every second together when they didn't have work – it was never enough.
It's like if the other wasn't there, the world would lose all its splendor which they could perceive only when they were keeping each other's company. It was as if the half of him died when she wasn't with him and vice versa.
Maybe their need for one another stemmed from the feeling of humanity that blossomed in their chests when they were together. He – who has become a monster desperately trying to regain his lost humanity and she – a helpless human desperately searching for strength at the cost of becoming a monster.
All ends would meet – then he who wants humanity gains it, and she who wishes to be a monster remains human for the purpose of being one with him.
They reminded each other of the time when they still knew clearly of who and what they were. They were always there to catch the other if one of them felt as if they were falling into the endless darkness of their own hearts.
That was why until the day he died, he would spill his heart for her, and only for her. Likewise, until the day she died, she would spill hers out only for him, for his sake alone.

So these are the first batch of songs that my MP3 decided to throw at me so I can fit them with the relationship of Heiwajima Kasuka and Hijiribe Ruri, my now second favorite hetero pairing in DRRR! Just because they are so sweet together! I will try and write more song drabbles for them, but of course, I am open to requests for the two of them.
So here's what you got to do if you want your favorite song to be made into a KasuRuri fanfic.
Review on the first chapter (or preceding chapter/s) then state the title and the artist of the song. Explain why you see this particular song fit for the two famous lovers, then add anything you might want to see in the fanfic!
I own not DRRR! nor the characters. And also, I do not claim to own the songs; all of them belong to whom they respectively belong to!
I shall be waiting for fellow KasuRuri fans to make their requests! I hope you enjoyed the first set of drabbles!
