Summary: Can two people of incalculable differences make good music together?
A/N: I know this is an overdue fic…nonetheless I'll try to make each chapter count. I actually lost interest in making the fic since the initial plan turned out to be somewhat Gravitation-ific, well I'll come up with a different scenario starting from this chapter…well sort of. I hope you like this one and…R&R's please! Thanks!
Also, thank you to those who reviewed the past four chapters and please do tell me what you think of this one. Again, thanks!
Reminder: For everyone who will read this fic, PLEASE READ IT WITH FEELINGS. That's the only way this fic can be funny!
On the last chapter of Symphony Made In Heaven:
"Well, about your music, can you give me the privilege to hear it live and…free of charge?" Sendoh asked.
Rukawa stopped his laughter and turned serious for a moment before looking back at Sendoh and letting out a smile. "Then promise me you won't fall in love."
"Okay, I promise." said Sendoh.
And with each note, each melody, each rhythm, each tone…Rukawa Kaede sang with intense fervor leaving one man captured in his beauty./
…and that same man was sleepless that same night…
Memoirs of A High School Love
Chapter Five, Symphony Made In Heaven
Sendoh Akira had been tossing and turning the moment he laid down on this bed…
"11:59 PM…shit, I can't sleep."
Poor Sendoh for he had been melting the ceiling for the past…whatever hours…and still, that sleeping spirit doesn't drop on him.
"Help me, Kami-sama!"
He had been closing his eyes…counting sheeps, chickens, pigs and rats - still awake…
"One and two and three and four…and…and…what's after four? Oh God!"
He's been haunted…
Haunted…
Haunted…
"Cut the crap!"
Okay, to make the long story short, yes…he's been haunted…by nothing but the voice Rukawa Kaede - Livewire Production's latest, freshest and most awaited talent!!! (*Confetti dropping, balloons popping, clap clap clap*).
"I've been haunted by that voice - Rukawa Kaede…what's with you?" He nearly screamed as he pounded his head on a powerless, functionally inappropriate and abused pillow. Then he suddenly stopped his 'cushion exploitation' and remembered the events of today's most relevant conversation,
"Well, about your music, can you give me the privilege to hear it live and…free of charge?" Sendoh asked with all the charm in that sweet precious smile…
"Then promise me you won't fall in love."
"Okay, I promise."
And cut!
Sendoh just can't stop the obsessive neurons transmitting through his veins…
He can't bear the longing…
The passion…
The desire…
RUUUKKAAAWAAAA KAAAEEEDDEEEE!!!
Suddenly, a huge lightning struck along with the crashing sound of thunder. Sendoh ran into his window with arms up high and screamed, "But I already AM in love! I broke my promise, dammit!" (with the drama effect, of course)
Krrriiiinnnnggg! The mighty phone's grand entrance… Krrriiiinnnnggg!
/Rukawa?/ Love struck Sendoh Akira ran over the phone and hurriedly picked up the receiver. With the sexiest voice he could muster he said the word, "Hello?"
Teet Teet Teet Teet Teet…
The darn caller hanged.
"Hi pal! I'm Sendoh Akira. What's your name? You see, I at least just wanted to hear a 'hello' and how dare you HANG UP ON ME, FREAK!!!" Said Sendoh as he banged the receiver back to where it belonged.
/Just when I though my voice was sexy…these things happen/ Oh how poor and miserable is our dear protagonist.
Then suddenly a bulb lit in the side of Sendoh's head! Tingggg!
"Koshino…" and he dialed the numbers as fast as a raging horse…
Faster than a speeding bullet…
Faster than the light…
Faster than…
"Hi Kosh! Sendoh here, whatcha doin'?" greeted Sendoh with an excited voice.
"Go to hell, Akira."
"Hell~o to you too, my dear friend." Is the reply of the cute.
"What the hell is your problem?! Its past 12 and you're disturbing people's sleep! What did you call here for anyway?" said Koshino with a grumpy look and a good o' scolding.
"Well, Kosh…" 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and…
"Nothing. I just want to know how you're doing…how life has been in the past few…uhm…hours? And the things you are this morning, perhaps or-"
Teet Teet Teet Teet Teet…
And so Koshino Hiroaki hanged the phone.
Now there is now way Sendoh will be denied this time. He's already having a waaaay too confused time since hearing Rukawa Kaede's ever beautiful voice and now a complete rejection from his best friend? Well not after conversing with the 'Teet Teet Teet' of a hanged phone and wrestling it out with the pillow…and counting 4 sheeps and numerous rats and pigs and chickens…and melting the ceiling…going lethargic and all…nope nope nope!
So he dialed Koshino's number once again…
"What the hell do you want now?" greeted the mother hen.
"Hey chill out, Kosh. Well, that's not really the reason why I called. But you see…" and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and-
"You see what? Sendoh…is this something really important that we have to discuss it now? I am in the climax of a beautiful dream, man. Can we just talk about this la-"
/Climax?/
"Climax, eh? Beautiful dream? Tell me, Kosh…what have you been dreaming, huh?" and did I ever mentioned about our dear spikey being a top-class hentai! With the mere word 'climax', the perfect face of Sendoh Akira changes into that of a serial maniac.
"Hey, I'm not as dirty as you are so drop it. I changed my mind, let's talk about this…thing of yours." Talk about being defensive, man! To the fact that Koshino had been dreaming of naked beach girls running and rolling in the sand along with a hedgehog who was swimming in a wave of salty water and a fox in a cliff who jumped and flew away…
"Okay," started Sendoh, "if you really want to know…you are my friend anyway and we've been the best of friends since we were kids, so here goes…"
Huh? Read on…
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Oblivious to the fact that this fic is intended for general audiences, Sendoh continued. "It's really big, maybe if you'll look at yours that'll look the same with mine."
WHAT?!!!? At this point, our dear mother hen has fainted…
Sendoh Akira still went on with his…ehem…descriptions. "Hmmm…what else do I need to describe it, huh? Hey, I've already seen yours back when we were in the gym on high school right? You saw mine too…what's the point of asking now?"
And at last he stopped talking…this fic is still for general audiences.
"Baka! That's not the THING is was referring to, you hentai! What's your problem…that's the thing I'm after!" Pride on high, Koshino will never, ever believe in what Sendoh Akira just described… "Mine's bigger anyway, what's the point in that?"
"That's a lie, Kosh." Opposed Sendoh. "Everybody in Ryonan knows that my lower friend's characteristics surpasses yours."
"Don't say that, Akira. You're taller only in height!" Countered Koshino as he stood up from his bed and fought like a hero in the middle of the battlefield.
"How dare you say that!" shouted Sendoh as he banged his fist on a nearby table. "I'll show you mine and you show me yours. Tomorrow, 9 PM at my place!" Sendoh challenged.
"Call." Accepted Koshino. "So can I sleep now?"
^Now just when I thought this was exclusively general in rating…^
"Oh wait, I forgot…that's not the real reason why I called."
"Yeah, I thought I escaped. What now?" asked Koshino.
"Do you remember Rukawa Kaede? Shohoku…11, the fox-kid that…you know…" said Sendoh as he tried to come up with words to describe our dear and cute Kitsune.
"Hmmm…" Koshino started. "…You had a big crush on back in high school? Yeah, I remember. What about him?"
Sendoh immediately blushed upon hearing Koshino's answer. "Hey, I don't have a crush on the guy. Anyway, I'm managing him. He's a super-talented monster…I mean individual. And he sang to me just a while ago and he was just so great. And I usually am sleepy and tired coming off from work, you know that but then, now I am restless thinking all over about him and his voice. And I don't know Kosh, I just think that-"
"You just think that you are in-love with the guy." Koshino finished.
"Yes…I mean no. No, Kosh. I am straight, you know that." Sendoh answered trying to make up a pathetic attempt for a cover.
"Look, Akira. You like the guy. Even back in high school, I can confidently name at least 10 instances of your silent but obviously obvious affection towards that kiddo." Koshino offered.
"I'm listening…make sure there's substance on what you're gonna say."
Koshino cleared his throat and took a deep breath…
"Okay. Number one…"
/flashback/
Koshino's POV
It was a boring physics lecture…you and I were in the brink of a REM and non-REM sleep. I whispered, "Let's draw the stupid teacher…this is what he looks like. Give me your notebook."
And you completely forgot that you WERE WRITING RUKAWA'S NAME IN THE BACK OF YOUR NOTEBOOK.
/end flashback/
"No way…" Sendoh denied.
"Yes you did! Don't deny it! And we share the same notes, remember? I read it all the time. And of how you drew that chinky-eyed guy with a ball in his hand and stuff. And the different font size and font faces of Ai Shiteiru, Rukawa-"
Koshino was cut of as Sendoh tried to stop the on-going revelation. "What's number two?" Talk about escape.
"Say 'yes' to number one first." Koshino insisted.
/Fine, dammit./ "YES to number one."
"Good." Koshino said. "Now onto number two…"
"It was our practice game with Shohoku. The first time you met that ice kid. And ever since you met him, you never stopped talking about him. Super Rookie here, super rookie there. I'm kinda fed up you know! You call here at 12 midnight just to ask if there will ever be a chance you'll meet him again and stuff and-"
"I went to college, Kosh, and you did not see me nor talked to me for years so you can't say that." Sendoh said, trying to oppose an obvious fact.
"Well, that was before you went blowing bubbles into college!" Koshino said back. "And I bet you did remember him even in college. Say yes to that!"
/Okay…admitted. That was way too true…Rukawa…/
"Okay, YES that's true. Now give me the third."
"You asked him to dine out one time. He rejected you and you came home with that artificial smirk in your face and said you'll sleep early…but you didn't sleep right away. Am I right?" asked Koshino.
And Sendoh Akira was struck with awe. "Right. How can you remember these things?"
Truth be told, Sendoh did ask Rukawa out. It happened back after the Shoyo-Ryonan vs. Shohoku game. And unfortunately, Rukawa did not agree…for a reason of uncontrolled sleeping habits known as narcolepsy.
/Darn that narcolepsy thing…/
"Because, I am the great me." Koshino answered as he winked at himself in the mirror in front of him.
"Now, number four is you tagged me along to the Nationals." Said Koshino.
"What about that?" wondered Sendoh.
"The thing is, I was bored because nothing nice was going on in the game and all you said was 'look at Rukawa…look at Rukawa!'" Koshino narrated with feelings.
"And so what's with me saying that, now?"
"You were dreamy eyed, freak."
"Oh…" *scratch-scratch* "I did?"
"Number five…you were having a concert in the bathroom dedicated to Rukawa."
"What?!" asked a shocked Sendoh.
"I heard you! 'Rukawa my love, this is for you…'" mimicked Koshino.
"What's the song, then?"
"Can you help me by Usher! [1]" is the straight-forward answer from Koshino.
"Fine. Guilty"
"Number six…I saw your love letter for Rukawa…well, I made sure you were drunk then I read it. [2]"
"You did? How could you do that to your one and only best friend?!" Sendoh dramatized.
"Cut the crap, Akira. You were hiding the letter since second year high school and I had the chance to read it by fourth year high!"
"Okay…go on…" said Sendoh in his slowly faltering voice.
"Number seven…you have a picture of Rukawa in your wallet. Stolen shot, is it not? [3]"
Shock. Nod.
"Number eight…you named your blue pillow Kaede, is it not?"
Shock. Nod.
"Number nine…you wrote a poem about this teeny-weeny dream of you and Rukawa, is it not?"
Shock. Nod. /How did you know all of these things?/
"Number Ten…you downloaded these whole bunch of romantic mp3's all relating to your unrequited love for Rukawa, did you not?"
Shock. Nod. /Even this?/
"Number Eleven…you are talking to the mirror addressing to Rukawa."
"Now wait…I did not do that!" Sendoh claimed. "What mirror are you talking about?"
"In the men's comfort room, second floor of Ryonan High." Koshino answered confidently.
*scratch scratch* "Oh…you saw me?"
"Uh-huh. Your long-awaited stupid 'busted-fiable' confession." Koshino sarcastically commented.
"You really didn't have to say it that way, you know." Sendoh replied with a dejected chibi tone.
"Yare yare…" dismissed Koshino.
"On to number twelve…I heard you say Rukawa's name in your...in your…" Koshino paused.
"In my?"
"Are you sure you want to hear it?" asked Koshino unsure of his divine revelation.
"In my what!?!" asked an irritated Sendoh Akira.
"Climactic dreams…"
"Do you still want to live, Kosh?"
Koshino defended himself and said, "Well I did hear it…" But in reality he didn't…but since Sendoh was too concentrated on the fact that he failed to keep his feelings for Rukawa (which wasn't too hard to find out, really)…Koshino grabbed the opportunity to play with Sendoh's…ehem…climactic dreams.
Finally, Sendoh let out a sigh, "Out with it, Kosh." He said, "I've heard enough of my lovesick affairs."
It was Koshino's turn to be silent. He realized that Akira wasn't in the mood for playing anymore. Instead, he devoted himself to listening to his best friend.
"And I guess you are right." Sendoh continued. "But you know what? I almost forgot him in college…and now he's back. And I don't know what to do because I think I really am falling too deep now. What do you think about it?" Sendoh asked.
"I absolutely agree…"
/Now I know I really am./ Sendoh thought.
