A/N: Next Chapter's up! enjoy. Naru might a little bit OC here but forgive me, I can't think of any other way to write it than like this. Reviews are greatly appreciated!!
Day 2
2nd Day of the festival week part 2 (afternoon)
We went immediately to the music room and saw the other members waiting for us impatiently.
"Kazuya where have you been? Look at the time!" (A/n: yep only Mai referred Naru as naru well you see she invented that nickname short for narcissist quite obvious so 'duh' what am I doing here? Naru: Out now!)Naru just shrugged.
"I fetch the lost dog" He said making a sideway glance at me.
"Oh that was very thoughtful, thank you." I said sarcastic.
Rikuo-kun cut us off. He knew how childish I can get especially if I'm being teased.
"Really, how can we lose the most important member?" He said to himself. Naru positioned himself in front and counted 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3...

After the practice we had our early lunch and after that they went backstage to check on their equipments and as for me, I went with Rei-chan and Ai-chan in front of the gym as close as possible to the stage. Rei-chan will be cheering for Kei-kun and Ai-chan will cheer for rikuo-kun, and for me? I just want to watch. 'hmf you wanted to cheer for Naru' whispered my inner thoughts. 'since when did I have an inner thoughts?!'
Then the announcer announced the arrangement of the performances and Naru's band will be the last one to perform. The program started but I got easily bored, no one seemed to reach my expectations. Then after long boring hours here comes Naru's band. The three of us started to cheer then I saw Kei-kun and Rikuo-kun waved at Rei-chan and Ai-chan. The band really rocks with matching cool outfits Sakura-chan and Shiori-chan are both wearing short skirts, leg warmers and vest. Rikuo-kun and kei-kun are wearing skinny jeans and fashionable designer shirts and Naru is wearing a skinny jeans and a black shirt with a printed skull in front. Quite simple but enough to keep the cool attitude of Naru. Then I caught Naru's eyes looking at me and moved his lips a little forming a small smile. I smiled back at him. Then he counted1,2,3,1,2,3,4 then he sang.
Until the day I die As years go by You remind me of the times we'll make the same mistakes. Until the day I die. Should I bite my tongue My hands are at your throat
I'll spill my heart for you ( for you).
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you.
I race the clock for you
But if you died right now,
You know that I'd die too (I'd die too)
when I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does.
I'll take the fall for you.
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do.
I'll spill my heart for you The song suits him very well.
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you.
Till blood soaks my shirt.
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much.
And I think I hate you.
But still we'll say 'remember when'
Just like we always do.
Just like we always do.
(A/N: let's leave the screamo part well you see it's kinda 'not so Naru' if I put it.)
Everybody was shouting (especially the fangirls) but immediately Naru started another song. Which I had no idea that they'd be singing today. He focused his attention on me 'oh good, what have I done?'
(A/N:well imagine it in naru style XD) And my momma swore that she would never But darling you are the only exception.
When I was younger I saw me daddy
cry and curse at the wind
Broke his own heart and I watched as
He tried to reassemble it.
let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love as if it does not exist.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
The song is quite out of his style, it's an acoustic piece but the meaning is rather-- I can't help but blush. Which I had no clue why! Naru glued his eyes on me and I stopped cheering (well most of the people do.) and listened to his song word by word. It somehow strucked me but I can't be full of myself. Maybe I can ask him later.
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul.
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
Keep a straight face.
I've always lived like this.
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn
to myself that I'm contented with loneliness.
Because none of it was
ever worth the risk.
That part saddened me. If this song really speaks of Naru then is he that lonely?
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
His stare passed through me like it's looking directly at my soul. I smiled at him and I can't believe what he did next-- he smiled back. It's the same smile in the picture. The smile that I've been longing to see for so long.
I've got a tight grip on reality
but I can't let go
of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving
In the morning when you wake up.
Leave with some kind of proof..
it's not a dream
His eyes showed a little tint of sadness, and then I slowly shook my head in response to the lyrics 'No I won't do that to you' and smiled. His eyes became normal again and he sang the last part of the song.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I'm on my way to believing.
I'm on my way to believing.
It's kinda obvious that in the end Naru's band won, so we went to a karaoke club and celebrates. We're really having fun when kei-kun suggested that we'll have to take turns singing. I listened, laughed (A/N:that's rudeXD) and cheered everyone as they started singing Rei-chan and Ai-chan is present too. And after the long wait, It's already my turn (tadaa!!) they cheered for me and suddenly i felt very nervous. As I looked at the songbook choosing what to sing I remembered what naru did earlier and I guess it's my turn to return the favor. I inhaled and looked at him.
I don't mean to run.
But every time you come around
I feel more alive, than ever.
And I guess it's too much
Maybe we're too young
And I don't even know what's real
But I know I never... I looked at him intently, his eyes widened a bit and I saw a smirk forming on his lips. I smiled back at him
Wanted anything so bad. If I let you love me.
I've never wanted anyone so bad.
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way.
Be the one I'm looking for.
If I let you love me.(if I say)
Be the one adore (It's O.K)
Would you go all the way. (You can stay)
Be the one I'm looking for.
He gave me this of-course-I'm-great aura and Naru smiled a bit. 'Naru's been smiling a lot today huh?'
Help me comeback down
From high above the clouds
You know I'm suffocating but I blame this town
why do i deny
The things that burn inside,
deep down I'm barely breathing.
But you just see a smile,
and I don't wanna let this go.
Really I just to know.
If I let you love me.
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way.
Be the one I'm looking for.
If I let you love me.(if I say)
Be the one adore (It's O.K)
Would you go all the way. (You can stay)
Be the one I'm looking for.
If I let you love me.
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way.
Be the one I'm looking for.
If I let you love me.
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way.
Be the one I'm looking for.
If I let you love me.(if I say)
See the one adored (It's O.K)
Would you go all the way. (You can stay)
Be the one I'm looking for.
The song ended and came to me and praised me. I saw Kei-kun and Rikuo-kun looked at each other and said.
"We have a new band member! Mai would you join our band?" they grinned
"Wha-- but I'm not that good." I looked at Naru for help but he just shrugged and nodded.
"That would be nice, I'd love to play some love songs once in a while." Shiori-chan said.
"o--okay" I said blushing. Imagine me and naru duet singing a love song 'duh so not our character' but I want to spend more time with him though.
-
we enjoyed the party and went home around 9 pm. Naru dropped me in front of my condo and I can't help but ask him.
"Ne, Naru that song earlier is-- t-that for m--me?" I nervously asked.
"Hmm." he simply said
"well then that song was for you too. Good night." I ran and went to my room as fast as I could. My face was so red and my heart was about to explode. This day is my best day so far. I happily slumped off and sleep.
Me:Phew sorry quite long.
Naru:That story sucks.
Mai:Naru that's rude!
Me:I--i tried my best to make this story, I'm sorry if I'm not capable to meet your expectations. *looked down*
Mai:*really angry* NARU!! How could you! you should be thankful that she exerts effort in making stories about us. NOW! Apologize!
Naru:Why would I??
Mai:You'll apologize or I'll kick your butt off!.
Naru:*sweatdropped* I-- Sorry...
Me:*recovered fast* Yay please review!!
