Christina Perri - A Thousand Years
Fuego lie down staring at the ceiling.
There was a knock on the door.
"Fuego, it's Anti-Drug Ninetails." said a voice. "I just wanna talk."
"About what?" Fuego asked.
"I just wanna talk as a friend." said Anti-Drug Ninetails.
"Come in... I guess." said Fuego.
Anti-Drug Ninetails came in the room.
"Oh, shit!" he said. "Trippz is gonna have a fit. You trashed the place."
"You said you wanted to talk to me." said Fuego. "You are lecturing me right now."
"I'm sorry." said Anti-Drug Ninetails and sat beside the bed. "I just wanna know what's bothering you."
"You wanna know?" asked Fuego. "Here it is. I've been in love with you since we were kids. I dreamt every night of you. I've never had anyone that completed me. And I've gotten so jealous that you found a girl that is ten times better than me in every way."
"She's not better than you." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "You're the only one at Unity Hearts that can fix something perfectly."
"So, I can do that." said Fuego. "She's still prettier than me. I'll never measure up to her."
"You're wrong." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "She'll never measure up to you."
Fuego looked at him wondering if he knows what he's saying.
"Fuego, I got a confession to make." said Anti-Drug Ninetails. "I was in love with you when I first saw you. I didn't know what to do. It seemed kind of silly for a fox to fall in love with a dragon. I was scared to tell you because I thought you'd laugh at me or make fun of me or something. So, I just held it in and hoped that one day I could tell somebody and they'd understand."
"You..." began Fuego. "...You feel the same way?"
"I've got to finish my food." said Anti-Drug Ninetails and went out the door.
Later.
Entertainment room.
Fuego was karaoke-ing to Rocketeer by Far East Movement featuring Ryan Tedder.
It was kind of hard to believe that "the one love of her life" was actually just that- one that loved her back. But it was just too bad that he had Carta.
