Once More With Feeling
X-1999 style.
Writhing around in his bed, Kamui's eyebrows knitted together as beads of sweat ran down his forehead. Arching against the bed momentarily, he soon fell back again and turned onto his stomach, giving a hollow cry into the pillow and gripping it tightly.
At the window, there was a soft flutter, and a person soon stood there. Looking hardly a shadow, he opened the huge French window with a simple exertion of will and stepped into the room. Leaning over, he regarded Kamui softly and smiled.
"...Such a pretty dreamer... but don't worry..."
Suddenly, out of no-where, a soft backing of electric guitar and drums, but dimmed as if being played behind a brick wall of some kind. Softly, inexplicitly, the male in a dark plum trenchcoat parted his lips and started to sing, softly. With the kind of voice perfect for a rock singer of some kind...
"Say your prayers, little one,
Don't forget my son,
To include everyone.
I tuck you in, warm within,
Keep you free from sin,
'Til the sandman, he comes...
Sleep with one eye open.
Gripping your pillow tight..."
Leaning forward, he lay a soft fingertip onto Kamui's cheek as the sweating boy turned over, still trapped in his nightmare,
"Exit light,
Enter night,
Take my hand.
We're off to never never land..."
As the guitars played a quick instrumental, Fuuma's hand crept down the boy's chest and gripped his shirt tightly, making Kamui's eyes tighten, and the boy gave an involuntary moan of pain.
"Something's wrong, shut the light,
Heavy thoughts tonight,
And they aren't of snow white...
Dreams of war, dreams of liars,
Dreams of dragon's fire,
And of things that will bite...
Sleep with one eye open,
Gripping your pillow tight..."
An entirely too-personal smile, as he leant closer to Kamui and kissed at his sweaty forehead lightly. The boy's violet eyes shot open and he stared up at Fuuma, terrified, as the Angel picked up the chorus quietly,
"Exit light,
Enter night,
Take my hand,
We're off to never never land."
As the invisible guitars picked up the interval, Kamui struggled to try and rise. But Fuuma caught his hand and bent it back. Pushing him back against the bed, pressing against him a little too much. As his lips parted for the next verse, Kamui found himself replying, almost echoing the words...
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
(Now I lay me down to sleep,)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep,
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep,)
If I die before I wake,
(If I die before I wake,)
Pray the Lord my soul to take,
(Pray the Lord my soul to take)..."
Fuuma's grin widened and he leant down, placing a soft kiss on Kamui's lips, pinning him even more securely,
"Hush little baby, don't say a word,
And never mind that noise you heard,
It's just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head..."
There was a fleeting moment as the man's hand raised and almost started to undo the buttons on the young, terrified Seal's pajama top, then what seemed like a soft swirl of fabric and he was gone. Leaving Kamui flustered and sweaty and extremely scared as he looked around the dark, empty, silent room.
"..W-what....."
((.:Lani:. -Giggle- That was a very short chapter, but I've resolved myself to have one chapter per song. That way, I can churn out the chapters pretty fast, if they're mostly song. -Evil grin-
.:Fuuma:. My first appearance in one of your fics... and I'm SINGING?!
.:Lani:. Hey, at least I gave you a half-decent song...
.:Fuuma:. Like hell you d-.... What...? o.o
.:Lani:. ...I could've made you sung a slow, romantic, cheesy song...
.:Fuuma:. ...Meep......
.:Kamui:. ...I want a nightlight, please...
.:Lani:. O.O'' Uh....?!
.:Fuuma:. -Snicker-
.:Lani:. NO!))
