Chapter 10 Rewrite the Stars

Ichika's POV

Tsukasa and I nervously stood together on the Wonder Stage.

I took a deep breath. Then…I began singing.

You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

I know you want me

So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied

After I sang this part…I turned to face Tsukasa.

You claim it's not in the cards

And fate is pullin' you miles away

And out of reach from me

But you're here in my heart

So who can stop me if I decide

That you're my destiny?

With that…I began walking closer to Tsukasa.

What if we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine

Nothing could keep us apart

You'd be the one I was meant to find

It's up to you, and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

So why don't we rewrite the stars?

Maybe the world could be ours

Tonight

As soon as I got close to Tsukasa…he walked away from me.

Then…he began to sing his part of the song.

You think it's easy

You think I don't wanna run to you

But there are mountains

And there are doors that we can't walk through

After Tsukasa sang this part…we began walking closer to me.

I know you're wondering why because we're able to be

Just you and me within these walls

But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see

That it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars

How can you say you'll be mine?

Everything keeps us apart

And I'm not the one you were meant to find

It's not up to you

It's not up to me

When everyone tells us what we can be

How can we rewrite the stars?

Say that the world can be ours

Tonight

After this part, Tsukasa and I started singing together.

All I want is to fly with you

All I want is to fall with you

So just give me all of you

It feels impossible

It's not impossible

Is it impossible?

Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine?

Nothing can keep us apart

'Cause you are the one I was meant to find

It's up to you

And it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

And why don't we rewrite the stars?

Changing the world to be ours

By this part, Tsukasa and I were standing right in front of each other, staring into each other's eyes.

You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

But I can't have you

We're bound to break and my hands are tied

With that, the song ended…and everybody broke into applause.

This resulted in Tsukasa and I quickly backing away from each other.

"That was super duper wonderhoy", Emu exclaimed.

"Yeah", Saki agreed. "Who knew Ichi-Chan and Onii-Chan could sound so well together?"

"Y…yeah", I said nervously.

Then, I turned to look at Tsukasa…my heart breaking as I did so.
