There's this sort of feeling you get when you hear your favorite song. You feel happy but because of that joy you'll feel sad as well. Nostalgic. When it came to clothes, Shiki had wardrobes and closets full of ideas in her head but when it came to music, she only had one song stuck in her head. Neku was opposite though. He was an enthusiast. Those headphones weren't just for show, you know. But even he had his curious moments. Oftentimes he'd ask her which song it was since he probably knew it. She just shook her head and said she would just confirm if he guesses right. It was only one song so it had to be special.

But she wasn't a music lover.

The truth is that she loves music but music doesn't love her back. Well, not as much as sewing does. She already had a commitment with that passion that taking up another one might make her seem indecisive. But she wasn't. She already knew what she wanted and how to get it. The problem was the distractions. He's talking to her about something but she's too absorbed with another thing that she just shyly nods and smiles. If he noticed anything, he ignored it and smiled right back. He had a great smile. He should smile more often, she thought. And right now, that song's playing again.

But she wasn't a music lover.

There's such a thing as fantasy which she vehemently denies. Sure, she's fantasized but there was no reason to believe it. Besides, there wasn't any difference. He would talk to her, embrace her, and even scold her. He'd do it all in his unique hard-shelled manner she's known since they first met. He'd even tell her he loves her. She'd blush and stammer her reply. Then sometimes they would ki– that's what happens in her dreams. Except this is really happening. Reality is so much better than a dream. That song played better in real life. So much better.

But she wasn't a music lover.

He had his moments. Lots of them. Once, he nonchalantly commented during the day that the stars were still asleep. She thought it was cute and even voiced it out to which he frowned. He didn't like being associated with the girly word. She giggled and teased him even more. Shiki didn't believe in fantasy but how about destiny? It's kind of morbid to think she had to die for this but it's all worth it. Neku would always bring this sense of familiarity with him which was more than comforting. Kind of like how Mr. Mew is only he gives her this extra warm feeling like right now.

Sometimes she wished there was someone to capture these fleeting moments. The idea was fleeting as well. She knew they would happen again. That's how nostalgic being with him is. And their duet of experiences would always be her favorite song.

But she wasn't a music lover. She was a music lover's lover.

Shinra-ex-SOLDIER

Where did we meet before just like this

I know your smile

Your voice just like that

You talk to me and I smile right back

I don't believe in fantasy

Same dress that now reminds me

Something I can't forget

Same song same tone in your voice

Tell me this isn't a dream

Take me forward, stars are still asleep

You and me, we live forevermore

I would follow you my destiny

Won't you get my favorite photograph

I'm getting played by you

Deja vu


Song choice by stealthclaw96 (from deviantart)

It's lighter this time mainly because of the song. I couldn't decide which lyrical stanza to use because every stanza fit the story well so I went and (ab)used them all.
I feel like I'm using a text template here... Good? Bad? I don't know, you tell me.

Which song do you want next?

Please specify characters. If there's a theme or genre tell me, or if you'd like to leave it to me. Otherwise, it may not be entertained. Thank you.
