Based off a meme I saw where you put your iTunes on shuffle and have to write some drabble about your favourite couple for the duration of each song that comes up. However, I cheated and listened to the song a few times over to get a real feel for it and make it decent length. Maybe it'd even help if you listened to the song while you read each chapter? Who knows?!
I love the Killers (yes, even 'Sam's Town'); they really set the perfect scene (both physically and emotionally) in each of their songs, so I'm pretty glad this was the first one that came up.
Why Do I Keep Counting? - The Killers
Seto stared out of the window of the plane (first class, of course), head brimming with thought. It had been three hours since he'd left Jou at the airport as he boarded his flight, but he hadn't thought of anything else. It had been a difficult goodbye and he had reacted badly. The idea of having to be away from his lover for three weeks had been tearing him apart, so he handled his departure the only way he knew how: with icy coldness.
Why did he do it?! Why did he always have to act this way when the slightest hint of emotion comes his way?
He knew the answer to that, deep down. He was petrified. If he put himself out there, if he showed Jou his true self, if he showed Jou how much he really cared, he'd just be let down again and he'd end up looking like a fool… but no… it wasn't looking foolish that he really feared, it was having his heart broken.
He was just counting the days until Jou would realise what a complete fraud he really was. Everything in the media was just a ruse. On the surface, he may seem a strong, confident man, but it was all a lie. He had so many fears and insecurities. Oh God, what would Jou do when he found out…? Seto gripped his armrests, distressed by what may be the answer to this question… it was only a matter of time.
