Author's Note: Hey there. Zero/Yuki songfic series. The lyrics used for this songfic are from 'The Finish Line' by Train. I don't own the song, VK, or any of the characters.
Summary: After Yuki leaves, Zero loses it. This is his confession: He loves her. He missed her. Welcome to Zero's side of Yuki's betrayal.
I Thought I knew it all
I've been through the highs
Said all my goodbyes
Learned to run before I learned to crawl
It's not worth fighting for
If one of us is sure
If one of us is dying, trying to find love's cure
I thought I knew how the story would end; I knew I would lose, but not like this. Not in a way that pulled you out of my life. When my parents died, I thought noting worse could happen. When I had to kill my twin, I knew I'd hit rock bottom, but I was wrong. Losing you, Yuki…I'd watch my parents die all over again if it made this go away. Made you come back.
I've waited all my life
To paint these cities red
With thoughts I've always had here
Stuck inside my head
It's not worth waiting for
If one of us wants more
If one of us is dying, trying to find love's door
I waited! I waited so long for you, Yuki! I helped you, I held you hand when you were scared! I waited years for the time when I could tell you. But I was too late. Too late since the day you were born. I thought we had things pretty good together… But I guess you had your eyes on the prize, and the prize wanted you, too. But what cut me the most is that when you walked out the door, you didn't come back. Ever.
When we learn how to fly
We forget how to walk
When we learn how to sing
Don't wanna hear each other talk
So here we are at the finish line
Here we are at the finish line
We had it. We really did. We were both a little broken, a little unsure. We didn't know anything back then, but it was great. But then you got Kaname; your wings, your voice. When you had him… I guess I can see why you wouldn't want me anymore.
And you, you really thought you knew
Everything to do
With holding on to me
But holding on this tight
Was making me slip right
Through your hands
And now you don't understand
Trying to find love or yourself
You thought you knew me, Yuki. But you only knew half of me- the half you thought you could hold on to. The part of me that made you think you could have Kaname and keep me around for fun. When you snapped, I did too. And I think that's why I slipped away. Your grip on me is so strong… I can't overcome your choice, get over it and be friends anyway…nor can I walk away from you.
When we learn how to fly
We forget how to talk
When we learn how to sing
Don't want to hear each other talk
When we know what we want
We forget what we need
When you know who you are,
You forget about me
You left me. You figured out who you really were, and suddenly, I didn't matter. What happened to "I'll stay by your side?" What happened to my best friend? She found out who she was, and forgot about me.
So here we are at the finish line.
