Existentialism on Prom Night (Version Two)
Note: I already wrote a KirCo version of this but since the song is stuck in my head the more of a Kirommy song it becomes. I do not own the song, that belongs to Straylight Run and I do not own the characters.

Psychological notes on the beliefs of Existentialist:
Each person is responsible for their own happiness
Knowing we will die creates anxiety over how we live
When the sun came up,
We were sleeping in,
Sunk inside our blankets,
Sprawled across the bed...
And we were dreaming.
There are moments when I know it
And the world revolves around us
And we're keeping it,
Keeping it all going.
This delicate balance,
Vulnerable,
All knowing.
Doctor Thomas Oliver cheered with the rest of the class of 2004 as Kira Ford climbed off the stage. The DJ took over once again and made his commentary for the next song he chose.
"All right everyone this is a song by Straylight Run called "Existentialism on Prom Night'. If you know your schools of psychology, contemplate. If not just smile like your know what's going on."
The students and staff laughed, the couples began to split off, slow dancing close on the dimly lit floor. Tommy watched as Kira weaved in between the couples and crossed to the punch bowl. 'Knowing we will die creates anxiety over how we live' he thought, musing on the school of psychology.
"Each person is responsible for their own happiness," came a voice at his side, looking down he saw Kira sipping punch at his side.
"What was that?" he asked, she gave a brief smile and elaborated on it.
"It's a belief of Existentialists," the girl said as she continued to drink her punch. Tommy grinned down at her.
"Well then, we should do something about that," he said, then added. "Dance with me, Kira," Kira was taken back for a moment then set down her drink. Her eyes were full of warmth and mirth, as she stood in front of him.
"Lead the way," she stated, Tommy placed on hand on the curve of her waist above her hip and the other laced his hand with hers. He waltzed her onto the dance floor where they were surrounded by the couples of Conner and Krista, Ethan and Sam and Cassidy and Devin.
(Sing like you think no one's listening)
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit.
So, sing me something soft.
Sad and delicate.
Or loud and out of key.
Sing me anything.
We're glad for what we've got,
Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us.
Kira felt the heat of his body against hers, when she closed her eyes she just wanted to curl within his arms. As they slowly drifted into the pattern of swaying in a circle they moved into a more comfortable position. His hand dropped hers and settled on her lower back while her hands reached up and draped around her neck. Their bodies became pressed together and she placed her cheek on his chest. Before closing her eyes she looked to Ethan who caught her eyes and smiled, nodding to her. Smiling she sighed and closed her eyes, contentment singing in her veins.
"There is one thing that would make me happier," Tommy whispered, Kira looked up at him, their eyes meeting.
"What would that be?" Kira asked and could feel his trembling hands hold her tighter to him.
"If I could kiss you," his voice could barely be heard over the swell of the music. Kira stared deeply into his dark eyes, all she could think of was his lips on hers.
"What's stopping you?" she asked without thinking, he laughed softly in her ear, his breath tickling her sensitive neck.
"Well besides the fact that not only my boss but the whole Senior class is watching, if I kiss you now, I won't want to let you go," he confessed, his true feelings finally coming out, Kira smiled and nuzzled his neck.
"I don't want you to let me go…Tommy, I…I've fallen in love with you," Kira confessed as the song began to end.
"I've fallen in love with you too, Kira, I don't care what laws I break. I want to be with you," he told her softly Kira smiled and laughed softly.
"I wouldn't have it any other way" she whispered.
