Ch. 3 - You Found Me
Yuki was counting the minutes until Akito was drunk out of her head because once she was, she wouldn't get mad at him. The only reason he thought she might be angered in the first place was the song he was going to sing; he wouldn't settle for any other one.
For Yuki, both past and future were meeting in that room, and he wanted to celebrate and lament them both in a way that would be symbolic only to him (nobody else would read that far into it).
In the end, it didn't matter whether Akito was drunk or not; the other Sohmas, bored with sitting, drinking and talking, looked for someone who'd sing.
Yuki, fairly light and relatively close to the stage, became their target.
Thrown up on stage, he prepared to sing; wondered, briefly, why it was such a perfect song for him...
Someone handed him a mic, snapping him out of it. He looked up to see Machi there with a shy smile of encouragement across her face. Yuki smiled, then started to sing...
I found God on the corner of First and Amistad,
Where the West was all but won;
All alone, smoking his last cigarette.
I said, "Where've you been?" He said, "Ask anything."
Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone.
It never rang and all I needed was a call
That never came to the corner of First and Amistad.
Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor,
Surrounded, surrounded.
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late,
You found me. You found me.
In the end, everyone ends up alone.
Losin' her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not, who I want to be.
No way to know how long she will be next to me.
Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor,
Surrounded, surrounded.
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late,
You found me. You found me.
Early mornin', the city breaks.
I've been callin' for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages.
You never sent me no letters.
You got some kind of nerve
Takin' all my world.
Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor.
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure,
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor,
Surrounded, surrounded.
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late,
You found me. You found me.
Why'd you have to wait
To find me, to find me?
Yuki came off the stage exhausted. He had to walk past Akito to get past his seat, though, so he steeled himself for a verbal beating from "God".
And was almost disappointed; Akito had fallen asleep.
Poor boring Yuki is boring. Aww, so sad. I actually like this song, though.
I have a poll up on my profile page, so go look and vote for who should go next!! (Or review, at least. I really need some input for songs as well.)
I like my feedback, feedback.
