Chapter 14
Gumi and Meiko stood by as the producers listened to the music. Their favorite idols, Gakupo and Kaito, had already rendered the music onto a CD when they had arrived, saving them the trouble. The women were a bit surprised, but didn't question it since they appeared to be in a good mood. Perhaps they were glad that their forced duet album was finished and they could go back to doing whatever they wanted.
By now they were listening to HYBRID, the last song. All the others were perfect, and well done. Miku, the duet expert, was there as well, and her eyes were practically hearts. Once or twice she cuagtce she caught herself drooling.
The song finished with a flourish, and Meiko smiled. "Well, what do you guys-" she was interrupted by the beginning of a new song. She, Gumi, and Miku exchanged confused glances.
The fluttering piano was joined by a smooth guitar, and the soft tune took a jazz-like feel.
Then Kaito's voice began, full of emotion, "A feeble fire is lit at the edge of my heart; / without my knowing it spreads into a burning passion. / My butterfly flapped about aimlessly, / leaving behind some powder on your hand."
Gakupo's deeper voice cut in, "Pulling apart our intertwined fingers, / moving from our lips to our tongues, / what we're doing might be unforgivable, / and that's precisely why we're so fired up."
The men harmonized, "I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit. / Please make me believe that this is not a sin. / I want you to kiss me and repaint my body. / I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm."
A music interlude was played for several measures, and then Gakupo started a verse: "It might be necessary for you to tie me up; / if you love me, then show me some fidelity. / I can't help but like 'weird' things, / so let's just go as far we can go."
Kaito sang, "With a heart that has gone astray, / we will melt so easily. / There's no free time for us / to even feel each other's tenderness."
Another chorus: "What has been repeating is not our dream, / but the unmistakably realistic 'we.' / I know as soon as we touch, there is no going back. / But that's fine, for you are my one and only love."
Kaito sang the next verse almost sadly. "As dawn breaks, I become uneasy, / and end up crying in tears. / You whispered, 'it's okay,' to me, / but were you also crying?"
The final two verses were in harmony. "I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit. / Please make me believe that this is not a sin. / I want you to kiss me and repaint my body. / I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm.
"Draw me closer, as if we are two magnets, / that even if we separate, we will unite again. / Let's become one; it's okay not to be able to turn back. / That's fine, for you are my one and only love."
The music crescendoed as they sang, then began to fade as they vocalized. Their voices echoed into nothingness, and the last fluttering motif of the piano drifted away as well.
Everyone in the room was silent for a long while. Then the producers clapped and proclaimed the entire album was brilliant, and that they would publish it. Gumi and Meiko exchanged looks, and smiled. Kaito and Gakupo would definitely live a happily ever after.
Their phones suddenly announced that they had received texts. Meiko and Gumi pulled them out of their purses and checked them. "HUH?!" they gasped.
On their phones was a photograph of Kaito and Gakupo together, in Gakupo's car, winking with smirks on their faces. Below the picture was a caption: "Be back in two months. Going on a trip. Cya!"
Meiko and Gumi fell onto the floor in despair, wondering what they were going to tell the public about their missing idols. Those romantic jerks!
A/N: song is Magnet.
I decided to take a risk by not actually having Gakupo and Kaito present in the final chapter. I hope you didn't hate it.
Thanks for all the reads and supports! ^-^ You guys are awesome!
Also, I strongly recommend all of the songs I used in this story. Though most of them are not originally (or actually sung by) Kaito and / or Gakupo, I really like them. :)
