All I Need
AN: this chapter was inspired by my favourite song; All I Need by Within Temptation. Listen to it, live it, love it.
I pressed myself against Gyo as the song started to play. The strings hummed through the room setting the melody of the music. A piano played quietly in the background. It was a soothing song that made me feel closer to Gyo. He started to hold me closer as the slow song became grander and more emotional. The piano became a banging of keys and the strings echoed with aggravated passion. The song slowed down again but me and Gyo had blocked ourselves from the real world and focused on each other. The song was nearing the end and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around but still had a loose grip on Gyo. It was Iggy. He seemed tense, anxious and nervous all bundled up in a small body.
"Do you know were Ali is?" he asked impatiently as his head moved round the room in search for the girl. I looked around and saw her standing near the middle of the room just waiting for someone to ask her to dance. I pointed to her. He sighed relieved than inhaled. He held his breath as he stood still. He was building up courage to ask the beautiful girl to dance. Gyo tilted his head.
"Hey, there's food!" he exclaimed in excitement. He started to let go of my but than stopped and looked down at my face. I nodded with a smile and he walked over to the table covered in food. I set my gaze on Iggy he started to walk fairly close to Ali than a much taller man asked for her hand. I saw his chest lower in disappointment and he walked over to a chair in a large line of chairs. I looked and saw Soara sitting by herself. Iggy placed himself beside her. I walked over and sat with the two friends.
"I was so close," Iggy breathed out in anger. I stopped paying attention to our whining cousin and looked over at Soara. She was radiant and alone. I felt sorry all the preparation had gone to waste. For some reason she bit her lip.
"Hey Ignite, I'll dance with you," she muttered silently. Iggy started to smile. She grabbed her hand. Instantly her face turned red. She was pulled up by the strong force of Iggy's arms and fell into his chest. He helped her up with a smile on his face. He led her to the very centre of the room. I anxiously watched to see what would happen. A guitar started to play a sad and passionate melody. Soara clumsily placed her arms around Iggy's neck. They were almost the same height. Iggy was only an inch taller than Soara. Iggy led her in the slow dance. They circled in the same position. Soara seemed flustered and Iggy was just happy to dance. Violins and a piano were added to the mix of this romantic and depressing song. I watched on as if I was watching a romantic play about o story of two young lovers. I was warmed by the thought of Soara and Iggy being a couple. They were talking and laughing while in each other arms. The song started to slow down a bit. Soara suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around Iggy's neck. She rested her head on his shoulder. I didn't know how Iggy would react to that motion. I was now leaning on the edge of my seat watching this play unravel. Iggy hugged her back and kept dancing.
Gyo placed himself beside me with a fist full of food. I looked at him confused. I noticed he smiled and his gaze was set on Soara and Iggy. I went back to watching them. Soara's face was incredible red. She had a large smile on her face. Iggy was holding her but his face wasn't a red as hers. His was a little tinted though and he smiled as he rested his head on hers. The song finished and Soara slowly loosened her grip and let go of Iggy. Iggy did the same thing. Soara bit her lip and played with her hair flirtatiously. There's one more song left just keep dance. I sat there nervously. Soara grabbed Iggy's hand and whispered something in his ear. He started to blush drastically. Soara started to walk away and disappear into the crowed. No, what are you doing Soara? She came back holding Ali's hand. Are you crazy!? You had a chance for you to be with…oh my god, why? Soara pushed Ali into Iggy's arms and they started to dance to the next song. Soara sat down beside me. She was still red and flustered.
"Why?" I asked her hoping she wouldn't lie about her feelings for Iggy.
"He's my friend,"
