Author's Notes: Welcome back to the second chapter of 'Birdsong'. Don't get your hopes up. It'll be short. Like this AN.
Chapter 2: Proposal
"Dammit, Clef, I can't do that!"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Guru Clef demanded, his blue eyes trained on the crown prince of Cephiro. "It's very simple. Hikaru herself knows about it, and you know the innocence of the child!"
"It is NOT that easy, Guru!" Ferio retorted. "What, I'm supposed to just walk up to her and say, 'Hey Fuu, how about you and I get married?' You think it's that easy?!"
"Yes!"
"Fine, you go and do it!" Ferio snarled, pointing at something over his shoulder. "Umi's over there, in the balcony. Let's see you do it, and I'll propose to Fuu."
Clef's eyes widened. "Ah, well, you see…" he muttered nervously.
Ferio crossed his arms. "You ain't budging, mage," he sneered.
"Ah, shut up!"
"Are you silencing the Prince of Cephiro?!" Ferio asked, golden eyes narrowing.
"I am the master mage of Cephiro! I can do pretty much anything, pretty-boy!"
"I can kick your ass all the way to Autozam!!!!"
"Oh yeah?!"
"YEAH!"
Clef threw away his staff. "Try it!"
"My pleasure, you jacka--"
"Hey, you two, shut up already!" someone said.
Clef and Ferio silenced at the sight of Cail Lantis, the only Magic Swordsman of Cephiro. The man's skill with sword and magic was almost unbeatable, and Lantis was second only to the Master Mage himself. The dark-haired, blue-eyed knight towered over both the prince and mage. "The entire castle can hear you two," Lantis said, his eyes flickering dangerously. "So shut…the hell…up."
Clef and Ferio obeyed, but shot each other dirty looks before parting ways.
"Lantis!"
Lantis turned around and caught a red-haired girl in his arms. "Hikaru!" he said in surprise.
Hikaru Shidou giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Finally found you! I've been looking all over for you, you know!"
"Oh really? Why?"
"Missed ya, of course!" Hikaru smiled up at the knight. "I have so much to tell you…"
The couple walked away, Hikaru talking happily of her adventures.

"Uh, Fuu?"
The girl in the long white dress turned around, and Ferio felt his voice fade away. 'She is so beautiful…'
"Hm?" Fuu asked, stroking a white bird perched on her arm. The bird chirped sweetly.
"Uh, well…you're going back to your Tokeeyo soon, aren't you?"
"Tokyo," Fuu corrected calmly. "Yes, today."
"Well, uh, I wanted to ask you a question…"
"Sure, what is it?" Fuu blinked and Ferio felt his legs buckle beneath him. 'She isn't human, being that beautiful…'
"Ah, well, um…"
"Fuu!"
Fuu turned her head and Hikaru Shidou ran up to her. "We're going back!" the scarlet-eyed girl said. "I've opened the portal!"
Fuu smiled. "Okay. Ferio just has a question." She looked at the prince. "Yes, Ferio?"
He couldn't do it. Not with Hikaru there. "Ahh…never mind," he said. "It's nothing."
Fuu smiled. "Alright." She hugged him tightly, whispered, "Goodbye," and left with Hikaru.
Ferio looked down at his fist and opened it. A silver ring lay in his palm.
'Nothing at all, Fuu…'
