A/N I suddenly felt like making this. The song is "When you say nothing at all" by Alison Krauss. Enjoy!
I excitedly ran to the kendo club. Today I was getting special lessons from the best guy there.
"Hi, sorry I'm late!" He raised his head and looked at me.
"Get ready." I immediately started putting on all the protective gear. It had been a year since I started dating Mori. It was hard at first, because he was always near Hunny, or practicing kendo. So I recklessly signed up for kendo.
Getting into position, I stood steadily. My ears were still ringing from my iPod, which I had turned up full volume. As he turned my body into the correct position, I smiled.
"This is the closest thing we have as dates, isn't it?"
"Ah." I practiced swinging and hitting. The song I was listening to started to trickle into my head.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
"This way." He led me to a dummy which I was supposed to practice on.
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you say nothing at all
Doing some example strokes, he showed where to hit. I swung in vain, only to hit nowhere near the mark. I looked up at him, biting my lip. He had on a small smile, as if he was laughing.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
After a few more tries, I was tired. Putting in all my strength, I hit the mark right on, but the rebound force made me fall backwards. I felt a hand keep me from falling and he helped me straighten up.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Smiling, I thank him. He nods.
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
"It's time." He says. I look at the clock. It's been an hour already. Shedding the protective gear, I sigh.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
I rose up to hug him. He embraced me, and I felt like I was covered in some kind of huge blanket. We stayed like that for a long time.
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
Reluctantly letting go, I smile sadly. "Thanks for the lesson. I'll be back next week." He nodded.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
"Wait." He stops me from leaving by pulling me into his arms again and giving me a soft kiss. I close my eyes and my heart thumps.
You say it best when you say nothing at all
