This is what happens when Mysia gets a new favorite song that helps her write the next chapter of a story: it becomes a song-fic. I hope you still like it. The song it "Dreams Come True" by SES and, therefore, is not mine. The translation is by Saka Ogawa, and it ,therefore, is also not mine. Neither is FY, leaving me with the story line, I hope -_-;; Please be gentle as I've suffered from Writer's Block, no da. R + R = Happy Mysia x time/pi = next update in somewhat near future.
And, no, I haven't forgotten I owe you people a lemon, no da. This just isn't the chapter it's in.

// = song lyrics

All I Want To Say...

//Nega ou na nundero chashi ninnun mosupu kudero
//Ijekko! Sumuge watton pimiruru nege motou marago shipo BABY
//FUNNY HOW ALL DREAMS COME TRUE naruru chikyojuru ko ya
//Akkyo watton chagun sarando
//FUNNY HOW I FEEL FOR YOU noe gyode kuryojiru
//Kumugyoru gatoun nae miredo
// Here I am, wishing to be by myself for a change (ha--)
// Till now you talk to me, but I've been keeping secrets from you (baby)
// Funny how all dreams come true
// You're important to me, so I'll protect you no matter how small love is
// Funny how I feel for you
// You're near me in my dreams as I paint my future

Hikou sighed as he stepped outside and looked up at the night sky. Above him, millions of stars glittered like diamond dust against the clear night sky. After everything that had happened that day, he was ready for some relaxation but knew he wouldn't get any with the bandits, who were, once again, celebrating. They were understandably overjoyed when Kouji, Tasuki, Chichiri, and he had returned from their battle with Arcadia and insisted on a party in their honor, but that was the last thing he needed at the moment. He had snuck out while Tasuki told them of the battle, fortunate that they all seemed absorbed in the tale. In his mind, he could still hear Arcadia's last words to him.

"I'll get you for this, Hikou," she hissed, two crimson slits turning to look vehemently at the man. "In this world and every other world you exist in, I'll make you pay for this."

He shivered involuntarily and closed his eyes, wondering if those words were a threat...or a promise. He walked a little further from the main building before settling under a tree and looking at the sky. His thoughts wandered to the time he had spent in the Darkness and drew his knees to his chest. He wanted more than anything to forget everything that had happened then and to be at peace, but he couldn't seem to forget; especially not after Arcadia had reminded him how weak he had been then. A tear made its way down his cheek and he leaned his head back against the tree. He jerked when a hand gently caressed his cheek and opened his eyes to find Kouji looking down into them.
"Sorry," he said quietly, brushing the tear away with his thumb lightly. "Didn't mean ta startle ya."
"N-no, it's...alright. I was just thinking..."
"Oh..." he sighed quietly and sat beside the older man. "'Bout what?"
"I..." Hikou began, but then sighed and rested his forehead against his knees. "I'm...worried about what she said..."
"Ya think she'll find a way back? Is that possible?"
"Probably, knowing her" the mage replied bitterly. A part of him wanted Kouji to go away and leave him alone. But then there was the part of him that wanted to be with Kouji in ways he could only imagine. "Why are you here?" he found himself asking, though he wasn't sure if he was asking Kouji or himself.
"Cause...I love ya..."
Those words, spoken so honestly, made Hikou look up and study the horizon. Somehow, those simple words had touched a part of him that he hadn't known was there. He blinked a few times and then looked at Kouji.
"Hontou?" He felt a little foolish for questioning the bandit, but, still, a part of him doubted him somewhat.
"Hontou."

//Choumu nukkimu kudero charittetto nukkimu kudero
//Soroga yakusokke tongotcho romu katoun sengaku nakko issotchi BABY
//FUNNY HOW ALL DREAMS COME TRUE naruru chikyojuru ko ya
//Akkyo watton chagun sarando
//FUNNY HOW I FEEL FOR YOU no hanaman saran e
// I'm starting to feel your feelings getting tighter around me (ha--)
// We both share the same promises as we wait for others (baby)
// Funny how all dreams come true
// You're important, so I'll protect you no matter how small love is
// Funny how I feel for you, because I'm loving you by myself

Hikou nodded after a moment of thought and stood up. He sighed heavily and looked up at the sky to find Chichiri's constellation.
"I..." his gold eyes slid closed as he sought for words to describe what he felt.
"Daijoubu, Hi-kun," Kouji smiled, though his eyes gave away what he thought the mage was thinking. "I told ya that I don't mind if ya don't feel the same way. Look, I'll go back inside and leave ya alone fer a bit, ok?" He turned and started to walk off. "Sorry..."
"Kouji...I..." Hikou sighed, bowing his head. His voice was a lump in his throat and he gritted his teeth. 'Why is it so hard for me to say it?' he wondered. He looked back to find Kouji was a few yards away and shook his head. He sprinted after the younger man and grabbed his upper arm, turning him sharply towards him. 'If I can't say it...' He pressed his lips to the startled bandits determinedly before relaxing the grip on his arm.

//COME ON LOVER onjena touri hamuke nega innun na hen bokkaruke yo
//Toisan surupun norenun toutchi anurukoe yo nemamuru arugetchi yo (wo--)
// Come on lover, when will we be together?
// When I'm with you I'm happy, so just listen to my song and I won't need anything more
// Will you understand my heart?

Kouji's eyes widened and then slid closed as he melted into the kiss with a soft sigh. He wrapped his arms around Hikou's waist as the mage's arms encircled his shoulders. He felt Hikou's tongue brush against his mouth and parted his lips, moaning softly as the mage's tongue came in contact with his. The two held each other like that until their lungs burned for air and they were forced to part. In that moment, gold eyes met emerald and silently told the bandit everything he needed to know. With a slight nod, he kissed Hikou briefly and silently led the mage by the hand to a more secluded place.

//DREAMS COME TRUE naruru chikyojuru ko ya
//Akkyo watton chagun sarando
//FUNNY HOW I FEEL FOR YOU
//Noe gyode kuryojiru kumugyoru gatoun nae miredo
// Dreams come true
// You're important to me, so I'll protect you no matter how small love is
// Funny how I feel for you
// You're near me in my dreams as I paint my future
