'Cause when you're a celebrity it's adios reality
"The duet" Mokuba arched an eyebrow at his big brother"You are doing a duet with Jounouchi" Kaiba smiled at his little brother's curiosity.
"Yes Mokuba, for my new song, Whiskey Lullaby that Jounouchi wrote yesterday is going to be dueted by him and I." Kaiba smiled again as Jou knocked on the door. Seto opened it and grinned. Katsuya stood there, blushing and innocent.
"Hey Kaiba." Jou spoke as he waited for Kaiba to allow him to come inside. He was permitted and they sat down on the couch. "So what half must I sing"
"I was thinking that you sing the second half about the last suicide." Seto suggested and Jou nodded. "Good that works for me."
"All right then. When is the first practice" Jounouchi asked Kaiba.
"How about now" Seto replied as Jou's eyes widened with amazement. He hadn't even practiced how the lyric should be sung. "I can give a few vocal warm ups before we start. Trust me, we'll be great" The blonde shook nervously as he followed Kaiba to his recording studio. It was big enough for at least ten people. The members of his band were sitting in the back as they entered the room. "You guys, meet my new partner, Jou Katsuya." The band members greeted Katsuya and Kaiba directed Jounouchi in a set of vocal warm ups. Afterwards, they got into the front and the guitarist began to play. Seto waited for about ten seconds to start.
"She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget. We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time, but he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind. Until the night..." Kaiba sang motioning for Jou to sing the chorus.
"He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger, and finally drank away her memory. Life is short but this time it was bigger than the strength he had to get up off his knees. We found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note a note that said 'I'll love her 'til I die.' And when we buried him beneath the willow, the angels sang a whiskey lullaby. La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la." The two sang and Kaiba stopped for Jou's solo.
"The room was full, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself. For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath. She finally drank her pain away a little at a time, but she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind. Until the night..." Jou's voice was soft and gentle and sounded perfect as Kaiba joined in for the second chorus.
"She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger. And finally drank away his memory. Life is short but this time it was bigger than the strength she had to get up off her knees. We found her with her face down in the pillow, clinging to his picture for dear life. We laid her next to him beneath the willow, while the angels sang a whiskey lullaby, La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la." The music faded and the two smiled at each other.
"So, Jounouchi, you do know that we recorded that one" Seto questioned the blonde and he trembled"AW! Come on puppy! Don't be afraid. You did excellent"
"Thank you Kaiba." Jou smiled as the two left the recording studio.
No matter what you do, people think you're cool, just 'cause you're on t.v.
" I still don't see why you were so nervous to duet with me." Kaiba took him into the other side of the room where their cd was. "Ah! Here it is" He looked at it and then tapped play on a touchscreen computer and their latest song blared. Jou's heart began to fill with sorrow as he listened to this song. He couldn't believe that he wrote such a wonderful piece. Jou then felt a tear in his eye.
"It's a good thing I did that song with you. I know get a better understanding of the words I threw onto paper." Jou smiled big and listened to the rest of the song.
"Well I suppose that you enjoyed recording this song." Seto hugged Jou and they looked at each other again. The brunette then leaned in and pressed his lips to Jounouchi's. They pulled apart and their eyes met once again.
"What time is it any way" Jou asked as he searched the room for a clock.
"It's nearly one pm." Kaiba smiled and they both left the room. "So... what do you want to do? You have four more hours until you are free to go home." Jou thought about this and responded.
"Dunno, I kind of need to eat luch..." The blonde rubbed his stomach and Mokuba came into the hallway.
"Hey Seto! Hey Jou" He beamed"The band members told me the session turned out great." Mokuba then looked to Jou who's stomach could be heard grumbling. "You hungary Jou" The blonde nodded.
"Then I guess we could feed him..." Seto kidded as Jou got a little bit angry and they headed down to the cafeteria.
