Once More With Feeling
Musings of a muse.
Leaning against his Tree, Seishirou took a lazy drag from the cigarette in his mouth, before removing it and dropping it. As the embers disappeared under the wet sakura petals, he had to think how unusual it was for the it rain here, in Tokyo. In the twisted minds of most fan authors, it was always either night or sunny. Now, though, it was raining. And, in Tokyo, when it rains, it monsoons.
Seishirou was, typically, thinking about the events of the earlier morning. Or, more specifically, his Subaru-kun's most untimely visit. And the effect it had left on him. Of course, he had noticed people unceremoniously bursting into song over the past few days, but he had been almost certain that it was nothing to do with either the Dragons or the Apocalypse.
But if it was affecting Subaru... well...
He didn't want to think about it. Seishirou, however, seemed happily immune to the song and dance. And, other than the musical number of that morning, and the disconcerting notes of his victims bursting into song at their deaths, he wasn't really affected by it all.
Lapsing into thoughtful quiet, yet again, he looked up slowly as a swirl of sakura petals roused him from the reverie.
'Yes?'
...I have a little something to show you...
'...What makes you think i'll be interested?'
...It involves the darling Sumeragi, whom we both adore, of course...
'Cut the crap. What have you to show me?'
...No need for rudeness...
'...Sorry.'
...That's better. Now, close your eyes...
Bizarre feeling, this. Like he was actually in the place he was being shown. Only, his entire body felt remarkably light. That, and he was surrounded by sakura petals, which he was sure wouldn't be in the scene normally.
And there was Subaru.
Seishirou, even in a situation like this, had to admit that the Sumeragi suited the pink sakura petals that were whirling around them both. Then, to his surprise, Subaru turned and looked directly at him!
Not just in his direction, but at him.
Then again, with Subaru's psychic skill, it wasn't entirely unpredictable. What wasn't predictable, was what Subaru said.
"...Seishirou-san? What do you want?"
Well, of all the ungracious-...! But what was this...? Backing music? Oh, hell no... this isn't happening... not here... not to Seishirou Sakurazuka, of all people...
But no. It wasn't for him. Subaru was the one singing...
"I died... many years ago,
But you can make me feel, like it isn't so,
And why d'you come to be with me?
I think I finally know...!"
Before the Sumeragi could start his chorus, Seishirou overrode him. Stepping out of the illusion the Sakura had attempted and failed to spin for him, he stepped forward and started the verse.
Ultra-cool, ultra-scary Sakurazukamori... was... singing.
"Mmmm...
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel,
But you can't tell the ones you love,
You know they couldn't deal,
Whisper in the dead man's ear, It doesn't make it real..."
And, again, Subaru stepped forward and overrode his lover's verse and sang his own. Softly, softly...
"That's great, but I don't wanna play,
'Cos being with you touches me, more than I could say,
But since I'm only dead to you, I'm sayin' stay away..."
Seishirou overrode him again, pressing forward and pushing his lover back hard against the wall,
"And let me Rest In Peace...!
Let me Rest In Peace,
Let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and bury it,
In a hole six foot deep,
I can lay my body down but I can't..."
And upon this line, he pressed his body against Subaru's delicately, pressing his face nearer to the Sumeragi's and almost whispering the line in his ear,
"...Find my sweet release...!"
Subaru pushed him away roughly, but Seishirou carried on singing,
"...So let me Rest In Peace...!"
And here, Subaru pressed forward, towards Seishirou, and reached out. His hands caught the collar of Seishirou's shirt and he clung there tightly, looking slightly desperate and very much regretting his previous actions.
If only for a moment.
"You know, you got a willing slave,
And you just love to play the thought that you might misbehave,
Until you do, I'm telling you,
Stop visiting my grave!
And let me Rest In Peace...!"
Here, Subaru pushed Seishirou away and his tone turned slightly bitter. Bittersweet. And he turned away, facing the wall but looking over his shoulder at Seishirou with a sad, but bitter, frown,
"I know I should go,
But I follow you like a man possessed,
There's a traitor here beneath my breast,
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed,
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest...!" But I can see... you're unimpressed... So leave me be...!
Let me Rest In Peace,
Let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and bury it,
In a hole six foot deep,
I can lay my body down but I can't..."
And Subaru turned around, glaring at him hard and yet seeming slightly... desperate... at the same time. Seishirou just smiled, almost smirked. But both his chest and between his legs were throbbing hard. And he hid it well.
"...Find my sweet release...!"
And here, Subaru suddenly broke forward, tackling Seishirou back against a wall and pressing their bodies close. Tears started in his eyes,
"So let me Rest In Peace,
Why won't you.
Let me Rest In Peace...?"
As the final note faded away, they pressed against ear other with heaving chests and pounding hearts. Even as Subaru started to pull away, Seishirou's arms raised and pressed around him, holding him close. And then, Seishirou kissed him.
It was a bitter kiss, almost vicious in it's passion, but Subaru responded as best he could as he tears turned the sweet taste salty, his lips moving naively against the older man's. When they finally pulled away, Seishirou was smirking at him.
"...I thought you wanted me to leave you alone, Subaru-kun...?"
"...I lied."
And, again, the pair were pressed together tightly in another crushing kiss.
Fade To Black.
