"And I looked her dead in the eye, and I said, 'Say something, baby.'" - Aubrey Drake Graham
Inspired by Drake songs, mainly Say Something.
(Shinji basically raps Drake songs in the Pokemon world :D lol. But he's not Drake.)
Girl.
I'm sorry we fell apart.
I'm sorry we couldn't work it out.
I'm apologizing because it's all my fault. Not to sympathize. I'm not that kind of guy. I wish I didn't change into who I am now. I kind of regret accepting that damn record deal. I regret getting up on that stage for the first time, rapping for others joy, lighting up their faces...while you sat at home, crying to yourself, wanting me to come back home.
I didn't listen to what you really wanted. I only got you material things.
When I asked you if you loved me, you were speechless. I remember that exact night.
(Flashback)
"Shinji, come to bed."
I was training my Torterra. "Use earthquake!" I commanded. "Just a second." I watched as my large Pokemon demonstrate its earth shaking move. It threw me over a bit, and I fell to the ground, but you caught me. I looked up at you, and raised my eyebrows. "Can I help you ?" I questioned.
"Yes. Come in already! It's getting reallly late. In fact.." She glanced at her watch. "It's 11 o'clock! You're insane for being out this late. I bet even Torterra is tired." She sighed.
"Fine." I agreed. I called back my Torterra. "But just for you, baby." I grabbed her hand and went back inside, leading her to our bedroom. I opened the door, and then began to strip of my pants and shirt, leaving only my boxers. I then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and things, leaving her to dress herself in pajamas. When I finished splashing water on my face, and dried my face, I went back to the bedroom to find Hikari sitting on her side of the bed, hugging her knees wearing one of my shirts. I assumed that she ran out of things to wear for bed.
I crawled on to my side and looked at her. "What's wrong baby?"
She glanced at me, then looked back down. "Nothing." she quietly said.
I pulled her into my arms. "I have something to ask you, but if you're not up for questions, I'll leave you be."
She put her arms around my neck and rested her head on my chest. "No, I'm fine. Go ahead." she smiled. I couldn't see it back then, but now I know that it was a fake smile. She looked up at me.
"Do you love me, baby?"
(Flash back pause)
My head hurts now. Dammit! Why does love hurt? Literally!
(Back to Flash back)
She was speechless, like I mentioned early.
She looked up at me, and then I saw her lips move. "I think I do, Shinji." She moved her face closer to mine, and pressed her lips to mine. I kissed back, my body heating up, and she fell back on the bed, and I lay on top of her, just kissing her, with all my love. She rubbed my back, and I moved my hands up her leg, up to the lining of her underwear.
I then felt her hand grab my wrist, gently. She shook her head. "Not yet, Shinji."
"You're not ready?" I asked.
"No...just not yet. I mean...I want to...I just...please."
"No, I get it, it's fine. But may I ask why?" I got off of her and sat on the bed.
"I want to give you what you want Shinji. But I just think I'm too young...we're three years apart. You're 22, I'm 19...I kinda..." She then broke down. "I'm sorry Shinji! I am! I'm sorry!" She hugged me and cried. I thought she was telling the truth then.
(End of Flash Back)
But no. The really reason we never did it was because she didn't receive enough...
Attention.
At first, I thought she was out of her mind. I thought I gave her the right amount.
But really, I didn't. I was so tied up in my rap career and building myself up that I barely gave Hikari the attention she deserved.
I remember now, that one time that she called.
(Flashback)
I was in the studio, we were finalizing my debut album, going over every single song. So far it was turning out a success. Then, my producer asked if I could record a part of one of my songs again. So I went back inside the little room, placed my headphones on and went up to the microphone.
Baby you my everything,
You all I ever wanted,
We could do it really big,
Bigger then you ever done it-
My phone then vibrated in my pocket, I kept rapping, then looked at my phone, and saw it was her. I told my producer to hold the track. "I gotta take this."
I went outside quickly and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Shinji!" she said in her loving voice.
"Yeah?" I responded.
She toned down a bit. "I was wondering...do you wanna go out to eat fondue? In celebration of your new album?"
I sighed. "Baby, I'm sorry, but the crew already invited me out...I've got to be there...do you wanna come?"
"No, that's okay Shinji. I wanted to be alone, but never mind." Alone. I liked that word. (I still do)
"I promise, I'll be outta there as fast as I can, I wanna come home to you."
"Shinji..."
"Hm?"
"I'm not gonna be home."
"Why?"
"I'm leaving you." she said.
I was shocked. "Huh?"
"I'm leaving you."
"W-why?"
"Y-You should know why! If you'd pay attention more and weren't so tied up in work or whatever, you'd know! Also, what if you aren't working? For all I know, the album could be done and you could be out getting some bitch tipsy!" She cried.
"Don't you know I'd never lie to you? I'm also being faithful too! I'm not that kind of guy Hikari! And I'm not tied up in work, or whatever! I don't know what the hell you think!" I shouted.
"Okay, fine, just keep telling yourself that. Just know...I love you...or I think I do...but I just can't be with you!" she cried, and hung up.
I stood there. I couldn't move a muscle. The tears formed fast in my eyes. I went back inside the studio.
"The album's done. We got time for a single?" I announced.
"Well..." said everyone.
"We should. Cause I need to record it now. I'll write up the lyrics. You guys take a break." I ordered.
"Who said you were boss?" asked my manager, Nozomi.
"I'm the one making everyone here money." I said. I grabbed a pen and some paper.
This shit was all I knew,
You and me only,
I did it all for you,
Still you were lonely.
If we could've worked it out...
Uh, but I guess things change,
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain,
When you're no longer involved, that person has it all,
But you just start standin there...
I'm gonna need you to say something,
Say, say somethin' baby, say something, say...
"I think we got something going here." I said.
(Flash back ends)
From there, my single that I did with Shigeru was released. (He also produced it). I wanted Hikari to know how I was feeling and know that I actually cared.
I haven't spoken with her in months. Last I heard, she got herself a home in the suburbs, while I'm living in a condo downtown. I wish we still lived together. I'm all by myself. I do get paparazzi at my door sometimes, but I've got security to repel them. Sometimes they keep me company, but they're not that fun to talk to. Not like you, baby.
I need you back in my life...and I won't make the same mistakes I did, promise. I'll give you all my love and care.
I need to go out. I decided a walk would be good. So I grabbed my coat and left, assuring security I'd be okay. I walked on the city sidewalks, looking around, and decided to go to the trashy part of town. I then realized, this was where I first met her.
You see, I was born and raised in the ghetto part of Veilstone. I grew up around gangs and things. Eventually, I was in one. We fought for justice, though. We were drug and most of the time alcohol free (sometimes, a member would bring a few beers and we'd drink, but we weren't alcoholics). We'd beat up gangs that did crimes and wrong things. We were The Street Boys.
(Flash Back)
So when I was just walking near our headquarters one day, I saw a girl getting attacked a few yards away by a rival gang. The bluenette was struggling to get out of the bigger guy's arms, who held her as one guy brought a gun up to her head, while the other guy just stood, watching and smirking. I knew he was the leader. His name was Satoshi. But what were they doing to her ?
I ran up to the scene & pulled out my rifle. "Excuse me, assholes, but what do you think you're doing to this beautiful young lady?"
"This doesn't concern you, Shinji! Now get out of here!"
"Well, you're in my way. And your doing something wrong."
I pulled out my rifle and pointed it towards the guy who was holding her. "Let go of her, or I'll shoot."
The guy loosened his grip on her as she fell to the ground.
"Good." The other guy still had his gun on her, so I moved my rifle towards his direction and shot him.
He fell quickly, and I saw Satoshi grab my neck. "Get the fuck out of here."
"NO." I said, and kicked him in the stomach. He fell to the ground as the bigger guy ran away, I quickly scooped her into my arms, carrying her bridal style, and took her to my house, which was a small place nearby, and quickly entered, running inside and gently laying her down on the couch. I took her clothes off, smirking a bit, and went to grab a shirt of mine and placed it on her, as she was already sleeping. I covered her in a blanket, and kissed her lips softly, leaving her there as I turned out the lights. She looked so beautiful, just sleeping there.
I went to bed, and smiled to myself. I felt like a hero.
The next morning, I woke up early, and I walked to the living room, where the couch she was sleeping on was. I saw her wake up once I entered the room, stretching her arms out and yawning. She opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she asked.
"My home...yesterday I saved you from a gang."
"Oh, that's right, I remember. Yeah, they planned on kidnapping me, so they hit me and beat me up. One even almost sent out his Slugma to burn me. But you saved me...I owe you." she said.
I shook my head. "It's nothing. I do this kind of stuff everyday."
"You do?" she asked, getting up from the couch.
I nodded. "Well yeah, but it's not everyday I save really gorgeous girls like you." I winked.
"Oh...hehe." she was blushing. "I still owe you, however. What would you like?"
I stood there speechless. 'A lot of stuff...but, you've got it all'
It was a few moments before she spoke again. "Can't make up your mind?" she said.
"Maybe." I said.
"I'll decide for you." she said, and kissed my lips, placing her hands on my face. I kissed back, and soon it turned into a tongue war. She moaned. I groaned. It was the craziest thing.
I broke away. "How did you know?"
"I didn't. I just want you." she said.
I raised my eyebrows. "You want me, hm? Do you know you're involving yourself with, sweetheart? You know nothing about me..."
"That doesn't stop me." she said. "You're my hero. I like you. You act like the kind of boy I want." she smiled.
Being the pervert I was back then, I grabbed her chest. "You know, I could do things I like this." her face heated up. "Or like this." I pulled her closer. "And like this." I kissed her neck, spreading kisses all over her it, and it sometimes bit at it. I saw her body tense up as her back hit the wall, moaning. "Oh...mm...I want more..." I smirked and stopped kissing. "You sure, baby?" I asked. "Yeah...but not like, you know..." She did the hand motion for youknowwhat. "Oh, okay." I said.
I took her to my room. "Shinji." I said. "Hikari." she said after, and our first complete make out fest begun.
(Flash Back Ends)
I smiled, remembering that. Suddenly, as I was lost in my memories, someone bumped into me. "Aah!" they screamed. I saw their petite figure fall backwards, and I caught them.
I pulled what seemed to look like a girl back up. "You okay?" I asked.
The girl looked at me. "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks a lot for breaking my fall." she smiled, releasing herself from my grasp. I looked at her.
"Hey...aren't you...Shinji?"
"How do you know my name?"
"You're on the radio everywhere. I love your music too."
"Thanks, I guess. And you are?"
"Haruka."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Haruka." I smiled. "Or if..."
"No, it's Ms." she smiled. "I'm not commited to anyone at the moment." We began walking.
"I see. Well why not?"
"I guess nobody finds me attractive?" she shrugged, her brown hair moving around her shoulders as she did the gesture.
"I do." I said. Oh. Shit. I do really.
She blushed madly. "Ah, hahaa. Thank you." She pushed her glasses up, and smiled.
I took her hand into mine as I lead her towards the city. "Do you want to come home with me?"
She nodded. "Yeah." And we were on our way.
