Listen To Your Heart, Usagi
AN: Okay, this a songfic that I wrote in about 30 minutes. So, I'm sorry if there's any spelling mistakes or if I missed some things. ^^" The song is Listen To Your Heart by DNT.
This is set about two months after Galaxia was defeated, and the Starlights and Princes Kakyuu returned to their planet, Kinmokusei.
I wrote this because a) I have been hearing this song a lot and b) I just believe that this song fits Seiya and Usagi, and what they went/are still going through.
And don't worry Vamprincess38, I am writing your requests. I am merely giving my brain a proper rest and making sure that I don't go into a writer's block or rut. Both are NOT pleasant things, I assure you. -_-
Anyway, please enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it Minna~! ^-^
She always heard this song now.
No matter where she went or what station of the radio she listened to, this song always played.
In fact, it played right now on her iPod; the buds in her ears tingling the music against her eardrums as she walked to Juuban Park.
She never knew why…or rather, refused to acknowledge the way it called to her heart and pulled at her soul.
The way it pulled her towards him.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
We've built a love but that love falls apart
A little piece of heaven turns too dark
He was the only one who noticed.
Seiya was the only one to notice the pain she was in, hidden behind large cheery smiles and innocently laughing eyes. Well, no, he wasn't the only one if she really thought about it.
Fighter saw it, too. When she was Sailor Moon, the Starlight always seemed to see right through her and the mask she wore.
Even though they didn't know who the other was at the time, they were always drawn to each other. Even now, before and after their identities were revealed, they couldn't deny the pull they felt; the peace and closure while in each others presence.
Starlight to Moonlight. Moonlight to Starlight.
Without knowing when, how or why...she had fallen for him just as fiercely as he did her.
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
She wanted to. Oh Kami, did she want to!
She wanted to say "screw destiny" and follow her heart. Listen as it responded to his, wanting to reassure him that she felt the same. Scream it to the heavens that she loved him and didn't care what lonely fate destiny had in store for her.
To break her chains and rush into his warm, loving arms.
But, she didn't have the courage. Didn't want to risk her friends loyalty and support. Lose the only ones she felt understood her above all else.
But she still had hope. Hope that she would gain the resolve she needed…to never tell him goodbye.
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
Sometimes, she does wonder why they fight.
They are Sailor Senshi! It shouldn't matter what galaxy they're from!
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her friends to listen. Couldn't get them to work with the Star Senshi, when it was obvious that they had a common enemy. And that they could beat her if they'd only fight together!
Her precious moments with him was being swept away with the tide; lost in its swirling depths and nothing was as she knew anymore. She believes that love concurs all; that nothing can stand in the way of two people who felt it with their very beings.
But then, why was her love being hampered? Why must she lose her happiness? Is her love only meant to grow and flourish in secret; this wonderful feeling only belonging to her dreams?
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Reaching the park just as the chorus started again and seeing a painfully familiar bench, she sat down and leaned back against the wooded backrest. Staring up at the cloudless midnight sky, she looked longingly at a single glowing star; nestled so near to the moon and yet so far away.
She could hear him calling even now. His soft, musical voice singing his song of unrequited love.
With a jolt, she realized that she could no longer listen with a passive heart.
And there are voices
That want to be heard
To much to mention
But you can't find the words
The scent of magic
The beauty that's been
Then love was wilder than the wind
Yes, there was voices that always called out at her, wanting to be heard. The voices of her friends and fellow senshi; the voices of her family, of Mamoru, the faint voice of Chibiusa, and of the world. Waiting for her to speak and acknowledge their various tempo of words.
But she couldn't find the words. In fact, she didn't ever want to. Because she refused to be tied down to something that took away her happiness and striped her of her fighting spirit.
She had finely acknowledged her own feelings. The way this simple song had put her silent longing into words. Not even the Senshi of Wind could stop her now.
Slowly as she started up at that sad beacon of light, the quiet resolve that had been building ever since she had became the Senshi of the Moon, grew and grew until she started to faintly glow. Giving out a silent call that only one other would be able to hear.
She hoped that he came soon.
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart...mm..mmm
Suddenly, the star she was staring up at glowed and seemed to fall to Earth, shooting like a shooting star across the many Galaxies of the Universe.
She cried out with joy as her love stood before her, melting from Fighter to Seiya and back, like the Light was confused which form to take as the soft glow of their love called to both.
Usagi made up their mind for them.
She ran forward and embraced the Light, wrapping her arms around their neck and kissing them just as they switched to Seiya, halting him in that form forever.
He held her back, kissing her with a wild passion that left them breathless.
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Nether of them heard as the song trailed off. Didn't hear the footsteps as they drew nearer, nor the voices yelling for them to listen.
But that was okay, for they no longer cared to.
They were listening to their hearts.
And as their souls joined as one and danced to the beat of their love, they vowed that they would never tell each other "goodbye" again.
END~
