So please! Read and Review please! And enjoy!
Kise found the beat almost as complex as the other one, a chorus of
"Do-do, do-dooo-doo."
And other sounds he honestly wondered how they were making filled the air. Something electric seemed to burn through the air as well and he was glad that Takao was first in this set. Though a part of him hated to admit that they were on unlevel ground.
Well, maybe more that he was on the lower ground. Almost as if they were the away team in a game. The miracles around him seemed to somewhat agree as none of them were yet singing along.
And still, Takao caught on quick, as if he were swimming in his own current. Said current was making it somewhat hard to concentrate though on remembering the words. If only he could get into the zone!
"Oh, we were bound to get together!"
"Bound to get together!"
Kise tried to slip into the current as easily as the male across from him seemed to be doing.
"She took my arm."
"I don't know how it happened."
"We hit the floor and she saaaiiiddd!"
And then Takao turned, and Kise paused even as he realized once again that he was missing something. Takao's silver eyes glittered as he began but it was another voice that snatched his attention.
"Look forward, baka!" Aomine's loud voice snapped and Kise snapped his gaze forward- and almost swore aloud.
The freaking choreography.
How the hell was he supposed to pay attention to all of this?!
And yet again, there was Takao.
"Shut up and dance with me!"
The chorus around them didn't seem to have any problems whatsoever as they also followed along with the choreography and kept the music alive.
This level of organization wasn't natural at all!
Kise turned back just as those silver eyes began to shine seemingly without the need of the mysterious moon in the sky above them.
Damn.
What could he say?! And where was he supposed to start? He didn't even recognize the original melody anymore as the a Capella changed around him. Heat flooded his face and burned his neck as he felt the gazes of his old team behind him. And one from his new team.
Watching him.
Judging him.
How had he…
Takao seemed to take mercy on him then. He suddenly reached out, stepping out of the choreography around him and meeting him head-to-head; his voice came softly as he stepped forward, his breath almost whispering softly against Kise's cheeks as his solo voice slipped into the melody, so much easier than he expected it to.
"Deep in her eyes,"
Kise grabbed it desperately, though part of him felt the burn of his pride turning to dust inside of him.
"I think I see the future!"
"I realized,"
"This is my last chance!"
Takao smiled, apparenty content to simply enjoy the duet now. The deadly gleam that had shined in those silver depths was gone and now they simply seemed to shine with the flow of the music.
Wait. The "flow"?
Takao's voice chased away the thought for another moment, but Kise let the idea stay and watched Takao. This feeling…it was the same as when Kuroko had…
"We hit the floor,"
"And she SAAIIIIDDD!"
Flow. Flow. Flow. Flow.
(Do-do-do-doo-do-doo-up)
(Do-do-do-doo-do-doo-up)
"Oh, don't you dare look back,"
"Just keep your eyes on me." Takao.
His turn…flow. Flow. Flow.
"I said you're holding back,"
"She said-"
"Shut up and dance with me!" Takao's voice clicked into place with the chorus and Kise felt like he'd just scored one of Midorima's freaking magical three-pointers.
Victory!
Glancing out the corner of his eye even as he continued, Kise felt his heart stutter as he saw Kasamatsu's smile as he watched him.
Finally! There it was!
He got it!
"OOO-wa-oooooo"
"Shut up and DANCE with me!"
The music around him almost seemed to explode, but Kise let the current go. He remembered this feeling from when he was playing with his team, after he had lost to Kuroko- and when their team slowly became almost synchronized in their games. The complete air around them seemed to change, just as it was at this moment.
This wasn't like karaoke at all. Karaoke could be sung alone, but this wasn't the same. This didn't have to be done alone. In fact, it seemed almost impossible to enjoy it alone- to swim the current alone.
The chorus seemed to almost participate against him and Takao, the music and richness ramping up in something he wasn't even sure he could he could explain as they were surrounded once more by the music around them.
"Oh, don't you dare look back!" The chorus sang around them.
"Just keep your eyes on me!" Kise and Takao volleyed back, the air still full of the electrical feeling that now seemed to affect them all. "I said you're holding back. She said-"
"Shut up and DANCE with me!"
