Hello dear readers. Hope you are doing good ^_^
Here comes Ellie with her much awaited piece of writing! It will be a dance-centered three shot, featuring three of my favourite couples (To be revealed later on :P). Since I've been so fond of dancing, and the KaiEve dance of Diamond Heart was so well received; it was a long-anticipated idea to write one for my dear KaiHil. And with time, I got inclined towards two of my other favorites.
I've attempted on depicting a dance with the help of words and it's surely been a challenge. For both me and my readers. For you all, it might be a bit hard-work to literally imagine all the moves; while for me, it's the detailed description to assist you. And only time can tell if I've measured up to the expectations.
Solemnly dedicated to myself…..coz, why not? ;)
Hereby, without wasting much of your time, lets begin with our first couple, a journey to the magical world of rhythms, melodies, moves and emotions…..
….FADE IN THE RHYTHM….
Pairing: KaiXHilary
The audience burst into wild applause when the names of the performers were announced. Her delicate figure became visible in the faint blue spotlight. The thunderous cheers subsided as darkness crept all over the auditorium and serene music began to resonate throughout.
Hilary Tachibana, vice-president of the senior batch of Tokyo Institute of Technology was standing right at the center of the podium. Draped in a baby blue off-shoulder georgette gown. Chocolate brown tresses were arranged in a neat messy bun, adorned by tiny white and blue roses, and curly locks cascading her temples. Matching sky blue ballet pumps completing her attire; while sapphire studded tear-drop earrings hanging from her earlobes became the only piece of accessories.
Nervousness laden façade was casted downwards, but not due to the fear of performing before a crowd this huge for the first time. All of her worries were doused as she felt a familiar pair of sturdy arms wrap around her waist.
Dressed in a classic black tux with white shirt and black bow tie, Kai Hiwatari, president of the senior graders, stood behind his partner, supporting her firmly; just as he would while confronting every challenge of life.
She smiled heartily as his right hand firmly gripped her waist. Swiftly moving on her left, Kai let his other hand gently cup her cheek as a tiny smile crept on his lips too. Hilary stroke his face, and they allowed each other to take themselves into another realm of pure amour.
Silver sparkles began to shower on them, adding an ethereal touch to the moment; but too oblivious were our benefactors, being engrossed in the shower of divine love. What worth did the dazzle held before it then? Affectionately, and much to the pleasure of the spectators, the beautiful performance began….
How to say it?
Without words, just how to utter those words now?
So used to you, yet without you now
Cherish you in these eyes, from now
This heart connects us with new threads of bonds
Pure and smooth as silk, they are
This heart connects us with new threads of bonds
Pure and smooth as silk, they are
Losing themselves to each other, Kai let go of her face and held her hand in his, extending it. Hilary responded with pointe' technique ballerina circles. Pulling her gently towards himself, Kai's hand slid down her back, resting on her waist. Hilary embellished his neck with the garland of her hands. Free arms clutched together, as if for dear life. Amethysts clashed with rubies, peeping directly into their partner's souls. And the duo continued to sway in the swift melody for a solemn passage of moments.
Another wave of applauds brought them to reality. Cutely blushing, Hilary pushed him away, while herself turning her back at him. Smiling at his partner's antic, Kai kissed the back of her palms, as it was still extended. Caressing it softly, his hand roamed over hers. She gasped, as a chill ran down her spine. Smiling madly, yet blushing so much, she allowed him to continue.
Knowing her far too well, Kai Hiwatari wasn't going to stay back. Wrapping a hand around her midriff, he used the other to hold her left calf; effortlessly lifting her mid-air. Instead of idly keeping them on the sides, Hilary caressed his hand that was resting over belly; and her other hand comforted his head from the side.
Tilted still, the brunette felt heaven descending down on earth, when her own feet made contact with the podium floor again. Her slate-haired partner was still behind her, when she heard him whisper in a husky voice, "Love you too."
Tired of finding new excuses everyday
Is it a mistake to love you?
Moments have become eager and only eager
As everyday seems a new commotion of darkness….
This heart connects us with new threads of bonds
Pure and smooth as silk, they are
This heart connects us with new threads of bonds
Pure and smooth as silk, they are
Hilary's joys knew no bound he had finally replied to her confession. A tear rolled down her eye too. And why not? Hadn't it been the only reason of her nervousness before the performance?
Sensing her emotions, Kai subtly wiped the teeny bit of pure waterwork from her cheek and placed an affectionate kiss on her left temple. Rose petals were showered on the couple, all thanks to their wonderful friends managing backstage.
The spectators clapped wildly at the display of love in front of them. Ray, Tyson and Max exchanged content stares, feeling genuinely happy for both of their friends.
The reverberations reminded our protagonists that the performance isn't over yet. Determinedly looking at their now lover's eyes, they nodded in affirmation.
Joining her hands together above her head, Hilary Tachibana drew them apart, forming a semi-circle. One foot behind the other, she bent at the knee, executing a perfect royal bow. Once that was done, Kai held her arms, extending them ahead, and creating some space. The brunette let her body go lose, giving him total control. Abruptly pulling her closer to his body, the phoenix prince accepted her decree. She bent herself backwards, as if falling down. All thanks to their strong hold on and around each other, that didn't happen.
Spotlights shone again; sparkles and rose petals stopped showering; curtains fell…..And in this way, a beautiful performance reached it's conclusion.
And hereby, we reach the last performance of the day. More are yet to come, hopefully! Just so you know, the song used is a non-English one which I had to translate. So apologies if it's not sounding too good. But I can assure, the original's really very beautiful piece of melody :)
How was it dear readers? Do tell me in the reviews :D
I've tried to make it as perfect as possible. After all, 1.2K+ words do make a pretty, little 3 minutes dance. What say? :P Anyways, pardon any errors that might have crept in :)
To end it all on another sweet note, I've been fortunate to be the first author to be permitted to use the very sweet OC of a very special author. So stay tuned for the next ppls! *And let me tell you already, it's the best one of the trio ;P*
Thanks for reading. Bye. Take care and Stay safe!
-Ellie :)
