Hello! It's me again! This time, I'm doing a crossover of Gravitation and Hikaru no Go! For those of you who know about both series, this is set afterwards in both series. So there could be possible spoilers in this. If you don't want any spoilers, then don't read it.
Well, the spoilers aren't that bad. So please read!!!
Oh yeah, if you don't know much about either series then I'll give you a summary on them..
Gravitation: An anime/manga about a guy name Shuichi who is trying to be the best in the music industry with his band, Bad Luck. However, in the early stages of his greatness, he bumps into the handsome romance writer, Yuki Eiri. After being insulted by Yuki, Shuichi goes out to get Yuki to notice him. Soon, the two are in a relationship that is merely attraction in Yuki's case and love/confuse for Shuichi. However things get complicated as Shuichi works harder in both his love life and his career. Some of the obstacles are Yuki's family, his idol Sakuma Ryuichi and his band Nittle Grasper, jealous rival bands, and many more. However, Shuichi has the support of his band to help him try to find his talent at lyrics and gain the heart of Yuki Eiri.
Hikaru no Go: A boy name Hikaru goes to grandfather's place to find something to sell. He comes across a gohban (a board to play Igo on) and sees stains of blood on it. Hikaru then hears a voice who questions him if he could see the stains. After answering yes, Hikaru faints. After waking up, Hikaru discovers the voice belongs to a ghost name Sai who used to live in Hein period and that Hikaru is the only one who can see him. After finding that Sai wanted to play Igo and wishes to obtain the Hand of God, Hikaru goes and takes a class to understand more about Igo to help him play for Sai with more ease. After getting into some trouble, Hikaru goes to an Igo salon and plays against a boy name Touya Akira. Ignorant that Akira is a genius at Go, Hikaru placed the stones for Sai to beat Akira. Unable to believe that he had lost, and lost to someone who claims to have never played Igo before, Akira chases Hikaru and demands for a another game after Hikaru jokes about being a pro and easily taking a title or two. The results of the second game were the same, only this time, Akira understood the strength that he thought was in Hikaru. Later on, after of a few series of events, Hikaru decides to take Igo more seriously in order to chase after Akira while Akira and the rest of the Igo world are chasing after the skills of Sai.
Wow…I wrote a lot on the HnG summary. Sorry about that. Anyway, I'm still trying to decided if I want to follow the anime description or the manga one…I personally think Akira looks better with black hair…I might stick with that.
Hmm…as for what this fanfic is about, Shuichi and Hikaru are cousins. Shuichi does on a vacation to visit his family, however takes a detour to visit the aunt and uncle he hardly ever knew and discovers about his cousin Hikaru. The two hit it off pretty well seeing how they have similar interests in video games and food. Shuichi dyes his hair to prevent the media to haunt him on his vacation and ends up dying his hair violet; causing Hikaru to be extra friendly around him, since Shuichi's coloring reminds him of Sai. And Shuichi is extra friendly towards his cousin because he feels that Hikaru was just like him with a dream. Their wonderful relationship causes problems and peaks of jealously among Hikaru's friends. However, the two are ignorant of this and causes many hilarious reactions among them. However, Shuichi decides that before he leaves, he would help the love problems that his cousin and his friends are having. Oh dear, Shuichi is playing cupid and how will he react when one of Hikaru's friends falls for him?
Well, that's the summary. Hmm…I feel like I'm missing something. Oh yeah, disclaimer!!!

Episode One: Our First Meeting
Shindo Hikaru groaned as he glared at the alarm clock that was blaring out music. He had to get to school today. It was one of those days where he has to go.
"Hikaru! You're going to be late!"
The sixteen year old boy sighed and gave a nod. It was times like this that he wished that he could just play Go 24/7. However, life was never fair.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Shindo Shuichi was sulking. If anyone he knew could see him now, they would say that he was being childish. Well, it can't be helped! He had every right to sulk like a baby! Damn that Yuki Eiri!
It had all started out with a normal day. It was a day where he would be jumping around and singing his heart out, while Yuki was still sleeping in bed. Shuichi had attempted to cook some breakfast, but ended up getting the miso over boiled, the daiken cut into uneven slices, and he burned the rice. Not to mention that he had nearly gutted himself instead of the fish.
Okay, he was sort of exaggerating on the gutting part, but he did nearly poke a hole in his tummy. Anyway, it was around then that Yuki had gotten up to see just what kind of mess he was making.
Shuichi did not understand just what was going on in the mind of his lover, but all he knew was that Yuki had yelled at him, which was nothing new, he had insulted him, again, nothing new, and he even hit him on the head.
No, what was unusual was that Yuki had suddenly stopped his yelling and began to ignore him. At first Shuichi didn't mind so much. Yuki had sometimes gone into the silent I-can't-see-you mode. However, it has been going on for at least three weeks!!
That was when Shuichi began to sob and whine to the entire world on how Yuki was being cold to him. However, he did not get the sympathy that he wanted. It seems like his band mates had gain immunity to his bitching, not that he could blame them. His boss looked like the best thing had happen to him since his very first birthday and his idol was banging the brother of his problems so he did not want to burden his friend.
Afterwards, he had gone back home, after demanding a three month leave which his boss had agreed quickly, too quickly for the pop singer's taste, but what could he do? Yuki was already pissed off at him.
However, things had just gotten worse after that. His family had already gone off to visit his sister and had only left a voice message on the machine for him. Stupid parents were planning to stay in England for a month!
So here he is now standing in front of a home that he had hardly ever seen since he became a pop idol. Not that he had done much in visiting his father's younger brother.
All that he knew about his uncle was that he was married and has a kid who was younger then him. The difference in age was about three to four years. Seeing that he was nineteen now, the son could be around fifteen to sixteen. Now, what was his name?
Hiko? Hira? Or was it Hoki? Hmmm, he would need to think about it later. Hopefully his cousin was not into pop stuff. Oh, Shuichi did love it when he was being admired about his songs, but for now, he wanted a vacation over that. Maybe he'll be more mature after this and Yuki might be nicer to him!! Oh, if only it were possible.
Shuichi sighed as he rang the doorbell.
Hello vacation.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hikaru sighed as he finally got home. He had spent the entire day going to high school and then playing Go with Touya. At least the playing Go part was better then school. He winced as he remembered how Touya mentioned in being the top three of his exams. How could that guy play professional Go and get awesome grades at the same time? He himself could barely get into the top hundred!
Hikaru ignored the part of his mind that mentioned that he had hardly ever studied. He was even amazed at the thought that he had managed to get into his high school.
"Tadaima!"
"Hikaru? Come here! You won't believe who came! Come, come!!"
Hikaru blinked as he walked to the dining room to see his mother sitting across from a teen who looked no older then him. He had to stop himself from wincing at the sight of the pink hair. Well, the pink color wasn't that bad, but really, how can that guy stand it? Plus on the fact that he looked kind of like himself. Now if only the guy would lose the pink and add in the blond and black…
"Hi. Who is he Mom?" Hikaru asked as he bowed. The stranger sort of bowed from his sitting position and gave a smile.
"Don't worry about that. I'm your cousin, Shindo Shuichi. It's been a while since we last saw each other. I'm here to stay for a month or so. Your mother just told me that you're a professional Go player. That's pretty cool." Shuichi said grinning. Hikaru gave a grin at that.
"Yeah, and it's mostly those old geezers that hang around. What about you? Are you still in high school?" Hikaru asked eagerly. It was rare for him to have any relatives besides his gramps to talk with, especially one at his age.
Shuichi gave a laugh and shook his head.
"I guess you don't get into looking at teen pop. I'm the lead singer of Bad Luck. I already got out of high school."
Hikaru frowned a bit at that. He had heard of Bad Luck. Akari had been gushing over one of the guys that were on a poster of hers. It was the guy with the short green hair that was about their age. Hikaru sighed and shook his head a bit.
"Sorry, I'm kinda lost with the whole pop world. Now, if you were in a movie or something, I might have heard of you." Hikaru joked. Shuichi laughed at that.
"Well, I don't know much about the Igo world so I can't really blame you. Man, a pro at your age! When did you start liking Igo? For me, being a singer of the best band all over Japan was my dream since like forever!" Shuichi asked eagerly.
Hikaru gave a shaky laugh and then scratched at the back of his head.
"Well, becoming pro wasn't a dream…I just started to play Igo for like about four years ago and now it just happened. As for becoming pro…lets just say I was chasing after someone." The younger boy said sheepishly. Shuichi raised an eyebrow at that. Then he shook his head.
"Sorry, Auntie, but I better take a shower and dye my hair. It'll do me no good if reporters chase me to here. My manager only managed to fool them by having one of my band mates dressing up as me for a decoy."
"Ah, that's right. Hikaru, show Shuichi the bath room and you might want to place an extra futon in your room. He'll be staying in your room."
"Hai! Come on, Shuichi. So what color are you planning to dye your hair in?"
"Don't know. I got all kinds of hair dyes. Want to help me?"
"Sure, you know, you should really do something about that pink. Honestly, it kinda makes you look like a girl." Hikaru teased.
"Hey, that's how I managed to get girls drool all over me!"
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
After an hour of their meeting, the two cousins had gotten along very well. After taking a shower, Shuichi and Hikaru went right to deciding just what color Shuichi would dye his hair in. At first, Hikaru suggested green but Shuichi shot that down saying that he would end up looking like Sakurma Ryuichi and getting press was the last thing on his mind.
Next, Shuichi decided to try out Hikaru's style and looked pretty good. But then the two decided that making Shuichi look like his twin would be bad if someone would challenge Shuichi to a game of Igo and Shuichi was really bad it.
So, Shuichi decided on a dark violet color and Hikaru approved. The reason for this was that Shuichi looked like what Sai could have been if the ghost was in the 21st century and had cut his hair. It took all of Hikaru's will power not to glomp his cousin and call him Sai.
"Well, not bad. I actually look ordinary like this." Shuichi mused as he finished putting on a white button down shirt over his green t-shirt. Hikaru nodded at that.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Dinner was an interesting time for the Shindos. While Hikaru's father had gone off on a business trip, the three talked about Hikaru's world of Igo and Shuichi's life as a pop star.
"Eh? You have a boyfriend? Does that mean you're…?" Hikaru asked as his green eyes widen. Shuichi gave a giggle at that.
"Not really. The only guy I've been attracted to is Yuki. But I'm not really interested in girls or anyone else for that matter. Girls are mostly fans and the guys I hang with are just friends. So I don't know what I really am." Shuichi said sheepishly. Hikaru gave a nod at that but his eyes still show his confusion.
"I can't believe that your boyfriend is Yuki Eiri! His latest book was even better then the last! Do you think you get his autograph for me?" Shindo asked eagerly. Shuichi gave a laugh at that.
"Well, he's working on his next one. I'm not really into his stuff, but last time I checked, he was working on a scene with the female lead having some sort of argument with the male lead. I think it's kinda like one of those boss/worker relationships. I keep telling him to try to write something different. He should have some sort of mystery romance or a fantasy romance." Shuichi said sighing.
"Then that wouldn't be Yuki-san's work. If you're his boyfriend you should really try to look into his works."
Shuichi was silent at that and then gave a grin.
"Nah. I'm much too busy with practice and recording. Then there are tours, commercials, and even TV appearances that I would have to do. Not enough time to read a book."
Hikaru blinked at that. He chewed on a piece of beef while wondering if he just saw a flash of sorrow in his cousin's violet eyes. But he shook his head at that. It was none of business.
"So, how come you're here if you got to do all of that stuff?" Hikaru asked curiously. There! Another flash of sorrow were upon those violet eyes. It made the younger male's heart clenched as he remembered how Sai's eyes had that look just before he had disappeared.
"Vacation! Bad Luck is on vacation for a whole month! Since Yuki can't take time off, I just decided to spent time with my family, but their off in England."
"That's right! Maiko went to Oxford! I was so surprised about that when your father gave me that call."
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprise if she comes back and become a politician for the Diet." Shuichi said shrugging.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hikaru sighed as he and Shuichi finished setting the futon and the blankets. He was in his boxers and white tee shirt. Shuichi was wearing a blue tanktop and his own boxers. Hikaru noticed that in their sleepwear that the two had the smale sort of build. The only difference was that Shuichi's skin was just a bit darker then his own.
"Hey! You got a PS2!! WAH!! What kind of games do you got?" Shuichi asked eagerly. He loved video games, but did not had the time to buy himself a proper game console other then a portable PS for the tour.
Hikaru gave a grin and pulled out the games that he had. The two then began to play a verses game of Capcom Verses Marvel.
"So, you still have school tomorrow?" Shuichi asked as he concentrated on beating his opponent.
"Iie. I have a match to go to. Want to come?"
"Sure! I want to see you play! Anything else?"
"Nope. Other then playing more Igo with Touya."
"Touya? Who's that?"
"My rival." Hikaru replied and scowled as Shuichi did a KO on him. Shuichi gave a cry of victory and began to dance in his spot.
"Oh yeah! Really? That sounds like me and Ryuichi. We're kinda like rivals. Cool. Hey, how afterwards, we go and crash at the arcade?" Shuichi asked as he sat back down.
Hikaru gave a nod as the two went back to the video game.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Next Episode…
YO! This is Shuichi! Wai! I'm with my cousin and he's so cool! Anyway, I'm going to see him play Igo and I'm pretty sure it's going to be awesome! Anyway, I get to met some of Hikaru's Igo friends. Man, that Waya guy seems to be pretty angry all the time. I wonder if he has PMS or something. But Isumi is very nice and I'm sure we're going to be good friends! Uh-oh. That Nase girl. She's staring at me kinda of weird…could it be that she knows who I am?! NO!!! I can't let her know!! Next time in Gravitational Go, Episode Two: Mixing Identities!

The whisper that dissolves into the bustling crowd
makes the memories scattered underfoot blur together.

The blazing of the street where I walk about lost (glaring one way)
illuminates me as coldly as though it freezes.

The cold times make dreams fall like rain and slip through my hands.
When I woke up from the countless wishes, you are reflected in a shimmering
illusion --
the silhouette whose faint smile leads me along.

Even if the gentleness that tells about only what makes anxiety flow
had fulfilled eternity, I still don't want tomorrow.

The words that I have to give to you are (it's talk to myself)
falling into an everyday routine, even without shadows.

With a trembling finger, I gather up the dreams; without even breathing
on them, they're crumbling.
Even the certain things are too unreliable; if I believe in something, can
I be with you again?
It's whitely vanishing, the silhouette of that day.

Looking up at that palely-dyed season (Life Winter Dream)
I, who stopped to stand still, am swept away.

The wind blows it out, makes it be left behind; even the yearning is growing
numb from the cold in my heart.

the silhouette whose faint smile leads me along.

His boss looked like the best thing had happen to him since his very first birthday and his idol was banging the brother of his problems so he did not want to burden his friend.
Afterwards, he had gone back home, after demanding a three month leave which his boss had agreed quickly, too quickly for the pop singer's taste, but what could he do? Yuki was already pissed off at him.
However, things had just gotten worse after that. His family had already gone off to visit his sister and had only left a voice message on the machine for him. Stupid parents were planning to stay in England for a month!
So here he is now standing in front of a home that he had hardly ever seen since he became a pop idol. Not that he had done much in visiting his father's younger brother.
All that he knew about his uncle was that he was married and has a kid who was younger then him. The difference in age was about three to four years. Seeing that he was nineteen now, the son could be around fifteen to sixteen. Now, what was his name?
Hiko? Hira? Or was it Hoki? Hmmm, he would need to think about it later. Hopefully his cousin was not into pop stuff. Oh, Shuichi did love it when he was being admired about his songs, but for now, he wanted a vacation over that. Maybe he'll be more mature after this and Yuki might be nicer to him!! Oh, if only it were possible.
Shuichi sighed as he rang the doorbell.
Hello vacation.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hikaru sighed as he finally got home. He had spent the entire day going to high school and then playing Go with Touya. At least the playing Go part was better then school. He winced as he remembered how Touya mentioned in being the top three of his exams. How could that guy play professional Go and get awesome grades at the same time? He himself could barely get into the top hundred!
Hikaru ignored the part of his mind that mentioned that he had hardly ever studied. He was even amazed at the thought that he had managed to get into his high school.
"Tadaima!"
"Hikaru? Come here! You won't believe who came! Come, come!!"
Hikaru blinked as he walked to the dining room to see his mother sitting across from a teen who looked no older then him. He had to stop himself from wincing at the sight of the pink hair. Well, the pink color wasn't that bad, but really, how can that guy stand it? Plus on the fact that he looked kind of like himself. Now if only the guy would lose the pink and add in the blond and black…
"Hi. Who is he Mom?" Hikaru asked as he bowed. The stranger sort of bowed from his sitting position and gave a smile.
"Don't worry about that. I'm your cousin, Shindo Shuichi. It's been a while since we last saw each other. I'm here to stay for a month or so. Your mother just told me that you're a professional Go player. That's pretty cool." Shuichi said grinning. Hikaru gave a grin at that.
"Yeah, and it's mostly those old geezers that hang around. What about you? Are you still in high school?" Hikaru asked eagerly. It was rare for him to have any relatives besides his gramps to talk with, especially one at his age.
Shuichi gave a laugh and shook his head.
"I guess you don't get into looking at teen pop. I'm the lead singer of Bad Luck. I already got out of high school."
Hikaru frowned a bit at that. He had heard of Bad Luck. Akari had been gushing over one of the guys that were on a poster of hers. It was the guy with the short green hair that was about their age. Hikaru sighed and shook his head a bit.
"Sorry, I'm kinda lost with the whole pop world. Now, if you were in a movie or something, I might have heard of you." Hikaru joked. Shuichi laughed at that.
"Well, I don't know much about the Igo world so I can't really blame you. Man, a pro at your age! When did you start liking Igo? For me, being a singer of the best band all over Japan was my dream since like forever!" Shuichi asked eagerly.
Hikaru gave a shaky laugh and then scratched at the back of his head.
"Well, becoming pro wasn't a dream…I just started to play Igo for like about four years ago and now it just happened. As for becoming pro…lets just say I was chasing after someone." The younger boy said sheepishly. Shuichi raised an eyebrow at that. Then he shook his head.
"Sorry, Auntie, but I better take a shower and dye my hair. It'll do me no good if reporters chase me to here. My manager only managed to fool them by having one of my band mates dressing up as me for a decoy."
"Ah, that's right. Hikaru, show Shuichi the bath room and you might want to place an extra futon in your room. He'll be staying in your room."
"Hai! Come on, Shuichi. So what color are you planning to dye your hair in?"
"Don't know. I got all kinds of hair dyes. Want to help me?"
"Sure, you know, you should really do something about that pink. Honestly, it kinda makes you look like a girl." Hikaru teased.
"Hey, that's how I managed to get girls drool all over me!"
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
After an hour of their meeting, the two cousins had gotten along very well. After taking a shower, Shuichi and Hikaru went right to deciding just what color Shuichi would dye his hair in. At first, Hikaru suggested green but Shuichi shot that down saying that he would end up looking like Sakurma Ryuichi and getting press was the last thing on his mind.
Next, Shuichi decided to try out Hikaru's style and looked pretty good. But then the two decided that making Shuichi look like his twin would be bad if someone would challenge Shuichi to a game of Igo and Shuichi was really bad it.
So, Shuichi decided on a dark violet color and Hikaru approved. The reason for this was that Shuichi looked like what Sai could have been if the ghost was in the 21st century and had cut his hair. It took all of Hikaru's will power not to glomp his cousin and call him Sai.
"Well, not bad. I actually look ordinary like this." Shuichi mused as he finished putting on a white button down shirt over his green t-shirt. Hikaru nodded at that.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Dinner was an interesting time for the Shindos. While Hikaru's father had gone off on a business trip, the three talked about Hikaru's world of Igo and Shuichi's life as a pop star.
"Eh? You have a boyfriend? Does that mean you're…?" Hikaru asked as his green eyes widen. Shuichi gave a giggle at that.
"Not really. The only guy I've been attracted to is Yuki. But I'm not really interested in girls or anyone else for that matter. Girls are mostly fans and the guys I hang with are just friends. So I don't know what I really am." Shuichi said sheepishly. Hikaru gave a nod at that but his eyes still show his confusion.
"I can't believe that your boyfriend is Yuki Eiri! His latest book was even better then the last! Do you think you get his autograph for me?" Shindo asked eagerly. Shuichi gave a laugh at that.
"Well, he's working on his next one. I'm not really into his stuff, but last time I checked, he was working on a scene with the female lead having some sort of argument with the male lead. I think it's kinda like one of those boss/worker relationships. I keep telling him to try to write something different. He should have some sort of mystery romance or a fantasy romance." Shuichi said sighing.
"Then that wouldn't be Yuki-san's work. If you're his boyfriend you should really try to look into his works."
Shuichi was silent at that and then gave a grin.
"Nah. I'm much too busy with practice and recording. Then there are tours, commercials, and even TV appearances that I would have to do. Not enough time to read a book."
Hikaru blinked at that. He chewed on a piece of beef while wondering if he just saw a flash of sorrow in his cousin's violet eyes. But he shook his head at that. It was none of business.
"So, how come you're here if you got to do all of that stuff?" Hikaru asked curiously. There! Another flash of sorrow were upon those violet eyes. It made the younger male's heart clenched as he remembered how Sai's eyes had that look just before he had disappeared.
"Vacation! Bad Luck is on vacation for a whole month! Since Yuki can't take time off, I just decided to spent time with my family, but their off in England."
"That's right! Maiko went to Oxford! I was so surprised about that when your father gave me that call."
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprise if she comes back and become a politician for the Diet." Shuichi said shrugging.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hikaru sighed as he and Shuichi finished setting the futon and the blankets. He was in his boxers and white tee shirt. Shuichi was wearing a blue tanktop and his own boxers. Hikaru noticed that in their sleepwear that the two had the smale sort of build. The only difference was that Shuichi's skin was just a bit darker then his own.
"Hey! You got a PS2!! WAH!! What kind of games do you got?" Shuichi asked eagerly. He loved video games, but did not had the time to buy himself a proper game console other then a portable PS for the tour.
Hikaru gave a grin and pulled out the games that he had. The two then began to play a verses game of Capcom Verses Marvel.
"So, you still have school tomorrow?" Shuichi asked as he concentrated on beating his opponent.
"Iie. I have a match to go to. Want to come?"
"Sure! I want to see you play! Anything else?"
"Nope. Other then playing more Igo with Touya."
"Touya? Who's that?"
"My rival." Hikaru replied and scowled as Shuichi did a KO on him. Shuichi gave a cry of victory and began to dance in his spot.
"Oh yeah! Really? That sounds like me and Ryuichi. We're kinda like rivals. Cool. Hey, how afterwards, we go and crash at the arcade?" Shuichi asked as he sat back down.
Hikaru gave a nod as the two went back to the video game.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Next Episode…
YO! This is Shuichi! Wai! I'm with my cousin and he's so cool! Anyway, I'm going to see him play Igo and I'm pretty sure it's going to be awesome! Anyway, I get to met some of Hikaru's Igo friends. Man, that Waya guy seems to be pretty angry all the time. I wonder if he has PMS or something. But Isumi is very nice and I'm sure we're going to be good friends! Uh-oh. That Nase girl. She's staring at me kinda of weird…could it be that she knows who I am?! NO!!! I can't let her know!! Next time in Gravitational Go, Episode Two: Mixing Identities!

nigiyaka na hitogomi ni tokeru tsubuyaki ga
ashi moto ni chirabatta omoide nijimaseru
The whisper that dissolves into the bustling crowd
makes the memories scattered underfoot blur together.
mayoi aruku machi no kagayaki wa glaring one way
kogo e sou na boku o terasu
The blazing of the street where I walk about lost (glaring one way)
illuminates me as coldly as though it freezes.
tsumetai toki ga yume o furaseru kono te no naka o suri nukete
negai kazo e mezame ta toki ni yureru maboroshi ni kimi ga utsuru
boku o michibiku kasu kana shiruetto
The cold times make dreams fall like rain and slip through my hands.
When I woke up from the countless wishes, you are reflected in a shimmering
illusion --
the silhouette whose faint smile leads me along.
nagasareru fuan dake o tsugeru yasashisa mo
eien ni mita sareta ashita mo hoshi kunai
Even if the gentleness that tells about only what makes anxiety flow
had fulfilled eternity, I still don't want tomorrow.
kimi ni todoke ruhazuno kotoba wa it's talk to myself
kage mo naku hibi ni ochiru
The words that I have to give to you are (it's talk to myself)
falling into an everyday routine, even without shadows.
furueru yubi de yume o kasaneru iki mo dekizuni kuzureteku
tashi kana koto futashi kasugite nani o shinji reba kimi ni aeru?
shiroku kieteku ano hi no shiruetto
With a trembling finger, I gather up the dreams; without even breathing
on them, they're crumbling.
Even the certain things are too unreliable; if I believe in something, can
I be with you again?
It's whitely vanishing, the silhouette of that day.
awaku somaru kisetsu o miageru Life Winter Dream
tachi domaru boku o sarau
Looking up at that palely-dyed season (Life Winter Dream)
I, who stopped to stand still, am swept away.
kaze ni kisareru torinoko sareru mune ni kaji kamu akogaremo
The wind blows it out, makes it be left behind; even the yearning is growing
numb from the cold in my heart.
tsumetai toki ga yume ni tadayou sono te no naka ni uketomete
negai kazo e mezame ta toki ni yureru maboroshi ni kimi ga utsuru
boku o michibiku kasu kana shiruetto
The cold times drift about in dreams, but are caught and held in your hands.
When I woke up from the countless wishes, you are reflected in a shimmering
illusion --
the silhouette whose faint smile leads me along.

Well? Sorry, I know it's kinda short and pointless so far, but it'll get better! Oh and the songs that are up are Get Over from the HnG's first opening and Glaring Dream from the ending of the Gravitation TV series. Next time, I'll put up descriptions of the opening theme and ending theme that I feel should go with the fic.
