A.N. I'm going to incorporate songs from and not from the musical to give this story a more musical-esque feel to it(: I'll list songs that will be in the chapter here in the author's note so you can look them up and listen to them. YouTube is the best source for anything, so my links are from YouTube, sooooo, just add the last bit to it. I'll include links too, but only for non-Spring Awakening songs cause I'm sure we all have or know the Spring Awakening songs lol. ENJOY! P.S. I may alter lyrics and stuff to fit the story better so, yeah(:

Paparazzi- Ernst ( Slow version sung by VogueDivad .com/watch?v=30TFYLttB_0 )

S P R I N GAWAKENING

Prelude to a Kiss:

"Ernst, you're such a sweetheart," Melchior chuckled.

Ernst blushed profusely and combed over his hair with his sweaty palms. Melchior stopped and gave Ernst a look. He smirked and slowly edged towards the meek boy to his left and nudged him with his shoulder.

"I wish I could keep an image of this moment forever," Melchior mumbled, more to himself than to Ernst.

"Are you okay, Ernst? You seem a little…distracted."

"Uh huh," Ernst nodded his head up and down nervously while wiping his hands on his thighs. The two boys were currently seated at the peak of a hill overlooking the countryside, basking in the morning sun.

Melchior raised a brow and chuckled once more, "I'll go fetch us some grapes. Green is your favorite right?"

Ernst nodded again and kept his focus on the quiet town below him. He rested his chin on one of his knees and wrapped his arms around shins sighing deeply. He looked over the boy briskly grabbing at random bunches of grapes from the vines.


Ernst:

We are the crowd/we're coming out/

got my flash on, it's true/need that picture of you/

it's so magical/we'd be so fantastical/cause you know that baby I/

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me/

papa-paparazzi/baby there's no other superstar,

you know that I'll be your papa-paparazzi/

Promise I'll be kind/but I won't stop until that boy is mine/

baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me/papa-paparazzi/


"Isn't the day so magnificent, Ernst?" Melchior made his back over to the fragile boy on the ground, "Here you go, I made sure each grape was as beautiful as the other." He handed them over to which Ernst gladly accepted.

"You know, you've been awfully quiet since we've been up here. I mean, I know you're a quiet person in general, but seriously, is something the matter—damnit, I sat on one." He laughed dorkishly and jumped to his feet to wipe down his pants. Ernst giggled and drooled a little on his chin.

"Haha, you look like a baby eating for the first time," He leaned down and languidly wiped the juice from Ernst's chin. Melchior sat back down and popped a grape into his mouth and leaned back onto his elbows.

Ernst smiled warmly and looked him over.


Ernst:

I'll be your girl/backstage at your show/

velvet ropes and guitar/yeah, cause you're my rockstar/

it's so magical/we'd be so fantastical/cause you know that baby I/

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me/

papa-paparazzi/baby there's no other superstar,

you know that I'll be your papa-paparazzi/

Promise I'll be kind/but I won't stop until that boy is mine/

baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me/papa-paparazzi//


"Ernst, if you're going to stare at me all day, the least you could do is say something."

"Oh!" Ernst was obviously caught off guard and looked away to hide his burning cheeks.

"It's okay, I like staring at people who arouse my interest as well," he edged closer until his lips were an inch away from Ernst's ear, "you're such a sweetheart."
