Hey guys! So this one probably won't make much sense, it's part of a bigger chapter in the making (I just need practice writing the two characters that I don't even own XD) and I wanted to upload it because it's beautiful, and short, and sad, and amazing :D
Songs involved:
"I Could Tell You" By Talor Swift (Modified by me)
"Can I Have This Dance" High School Musical 3
This entire Wilds AU as a whole is actually a story version of a rp I did with Lord Oblivion my boyfriend, I've had this rp done three times now and I need to make it a story! XD
READ TO UNDERSTAND CONTEXT!
Cynthia's a YouTuber and Singer on top of being a wild, Leon her mate, has just barely moved to her school after them knowing each other for the past three years. Cynthia, excited about her mate being around and her sister finding her partner, takes Leon, Orion (Leon's brother), and Ran (Cynthia's non biological sister) to Vyliea for a few weeks where she has a concert and a convention, and Leon has a renewal for the world record he holds. However, things kinda fall apart when Cynthia notices that Ran's jealous of her and Leon and isn't a big fan of seeing Cynthia and Leon act like a bonded pair because she longs to have what her sister has. So Cynthia and Leon agreed to hide and limit their time acting like a pair of Mates should, and instead they act like they are normal partners and just friends. Of which makes Cynthia miserable, for her this entire trip is her own personal torture, she finally has her sister with her outside of Ruxburg, but she can't have her mate with her and be more than just a friend. The scene below is Cynthia's concert.
Cynthia's Personal Torture
Cynthia, Leon ~ 19
Ran, Orion ~ 18 (OC characters of LordOblivion)
Cynthia's blue eyes were bright and cheerful as she casually took a seat on top of the grassy knoll with one leg bent and the other stretched out in front of her. Slid the guitar from being slung around her back to be held gently in her hands. "Today's the second day and so I was thinking maybe a few of my more relaxed songs along with a more informal setting like I always do." She suggested with a soft smile that hid exactly how stressed out and tired she was at the current moment. "I'm feeling a little worn out as well so how about we all get comfortable on the grass while I tune this guitar okay?" She rested the bottom of the guitar in her lap as she softly tuned the beautiful dark gray and blue electric guitar. "It's always so hot during the summer, and as I've always said there's a convention to meet me personally at if a few of you miss the chance to greet me here after the concert so how about you all calm down and take a seat? We've got a few trucks full of popsicles and other kinds of treats that will be offered and stuff during the concert and during where I mingle with you all."
She then cleared her throat, looked up to check with Lila who nodded and Cynthia started strumming her guitar to start the song. "I don't think that passenger seat, has ever looked this good to me… He tells me about his night, and I! Count the colors in his eyes!" She sang at her cue, having chosen a song that she had written during one of the four-month stretches where she hadn't been with Leon at all.
"He'd never fall in love he swears, as he runs his fingers through my hair, I'm laughing 'cause I know he's wrong! And I don't think it ever crossed his mind, He tells a joke, I fake a smile… But I know all his favorite songs!" The song helped display her current emotions with her situation involving her and Leon and Ran and Orion, she missed spending time just by herself with him. Goofing off, learning more about each other every day, actually going out on dates, enjoying the many cities, relaxing, and over all she missed the moments where they would just do what came naturally to them both, whether it involved getting in massive trouble by Lila and laughing about the punishment, or just sitting on the couch while she worked and he played a video game or pretended to fall asleep and pinned her and shut her laptop.
"And I could tell you his favorite color's orange, he loves to argue, born on the sixteenth...His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes, and if you ask me if I love him… I'd lie!" Cynthia sang, putting her emotions into the song and getting lost in her music, just like she usually did. "He looks around the room, innocently overlooks the truth! Shouldn't a light go on? Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?"
Leon's amber gaze remained locked on Cynthia, he could feel exactly what she was feeling, and he knew it was silently tearing her apart being forced to have to, hide and limit, spending time with him how they both wanted to instead of spending their time like they always did when Cynthia invited him and his family onto trips like these.
"He sees everything in black and white, never let nobody see him cry. I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine!" Cynthia sang softly before breaking into the chorus once again, her voice practically dripping with her own emotions and yet sounded beautiful, her tone emphasizing the song. "I could tell you his favorite color's orange, he loves to argue, born on the sixteenth...His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes, and if you ask me if I love him… I'd lie!"
Cynthia took a slightly shuddery breath during the music break, resting her voice and waiting for her next cue while thanking Cinder for fighting off the memories for her and taking the reminders quietly. At her cue she continued to sing, "He stands there, then walks away… StarClan, if I could only say! I'm holding every breath for you...He'd never tell you, but he can play guitar! I think he can see through everything but my heart, First thought when I wake up is, StarClan, he's beautiful! So I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle!"
Cynthia took a deep breath before she sang the ending part, while at the same time alerting Leon of her next plans. I… I need to sing something with you, will you sing something with me? She asked before singing, "Yes I could tell you his favorite color's orange, he loves to argue, oh and it kills me...His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes, and if you ask me if I love him… if you ask me if I love him… I'd lie!"
Of course, Leon responded, what song? I'd never give up a chance to sing with you Sweetheart.
Cynthia swallowed the lump in her throat even at the fans sitting on the grass all whooped and cheered. Can I Have This Dance, I need to sing something that… she trailed off, tears threatening to make her blue eyes go misty even as she smiled at her fans and looked out at them all.
I know, Leon told her gently, don't worry, I'll sing with you.
Cynthia's smiled turned happier and she tucked her guitar into the case and gave it to Lila before she stood up and cleared her throat, "I've been asked many times to sing with Leon live, since he has a few music videos of his own on my music channel, so today I'm going to grant that wish." She brushed off her capris and looked almost timidly in Leon's direction before singing in a soft and almost nervous tone, "Take my hand…" She sang softly and stretched out her hand and arm toward Leon's direction where Jake was hooking him up to a mic. "Take a breath… Pull me close, and take one step… Keep your eyes locked on mine, and let the music be your guide..."
"Won't you promise me…" Leon sang as he stood up and brushed off his pants and started jogging toward her, ignoring most of the fans and instead focusing on the silent needs of his mate.
"Now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget…" Cynthia continued and forced herself to stay rooted to her spot and waited for him to come to her.
"We'll keep dancing…" Leon sang as he reached her and promptly pulled the nearly in tears wild into a dance, carefully hiding her face from the fans while she pulled herself together.
"To keep dancing…" Cynthia's voice wobbled a hair but she took a deep breath to calm herself and to straighten out her crumbling walls and sort her messy emotions. I can't do this Leon, this is like my own personal torture, I can have my sister with me on a trip and yet I can't be with my mate…
"Wherever we go next…" Leon and Cynthia sang together, Leon smiling at how the fans were reacting, reacting with cheers and hollers and yet rather upset about how unstable this trip had really made Cynthia. He made a mental note of keeping a close eye on her and responded to her even as they continued the singing, Cynthia's faltering repeatedly as the tears she was hiding threatened to force her into a sobbing mess. "It's like catching lightning… the chances of finding someone like you! It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do! And with every step together! We just keep on getting better! So can I have this dance?"
I know, Sweetheart I know, Leon nudged her arms to be around his neck as he casually waltzed with her, still hiding how close she was to falling apart and allowing her to get closer without messing up her singing, lean on me and the music, I'll have Lila move the meeting you hour to tomorrow, you need to go home and rest with me. You need to get some of the stress off of your shoulders
"Take my hand, I'll take the lead! And every turn will be safe with me! Don't be afraid, afraid to fall..." Leon sang softly and silently signaled to Lila to switch Cynthia's audio with a recording which she did. He had sung this before with Cynthia, he knew the words by heart and Cynthia needed to draw comfort off of him. I have your audio switched, relax and let me keep the concert going. Take a few deep breaths, wipe away your tears, and listen to my voice Sweetheart. He kept singing even as Cynthia stepped closer and pushed her face against his chest and neck just under his chin, taking a deep breath and breathing in his scent while trying to pull herself together. "You know I'll catch you through it all! And you can't keep us apart…"
"Even a thousand miles can't keep us apart…"
