Toshiro stared at the announcer for what seemed like eternity and his hand slipped from between his lover's fingers, A... tie? Damon and Ichigo were the first to shake off the shock,
"A tie? Are you freaking kididng me?" they both screamed at the same time. Miku and Shiori held onto Toshiro's hands and shoulders,
"Unbelievable, how is this a tie?"
Even the audience were shocked to hear that there was no winner, the couple heard their friends and family yelling in frustration in the background, but Ms. Spencer screamed the loudest. When the audience quieted down, one of the judges went to the podium on the portable stage and cleared his throat,
"I am sorry to say that is a tie, however," all the performers ears perked up at his words, "In about 40 minutes, we ask the competing schools to select representatives to go into a final round and that school will be the winner for this year's competition. For right now, everyone please help yourselves to refreshments and snacks, while the representatives prepare. "
Karakura High's Music Group 2 quickly descended the steps of the stage and went to Ms. Spencer, who was fuming in the back of the area. Toshiro looked to his side and saw Momo and Rangiku looking at him with sadden eyes. The white haired teen immediately took Ichigo's hand for at least some comfort, he smiled when he felt Ichigo grabbed his hand in return and gave it a gentle squeeze almost saying, We'll be okay.
Ms. Spencer was pacing back and forth, chewing on her fingernails in anxiety, "What are we going to do?" She kept repeating these words over and over again, not even noticing that her students were right in front of her.
Miku waved her hand over her teacher's face, "Ms. Spencer? Hello? Earth to Sarah? HEY!"
The dazed teacher looked at the small raven-haired girl and blinked, "Oh, Miku! Thank goodness that you woke me up! I had the weirdest vision that there was a tie in the competition."
Shiori looked at Ms. Spencer with sadden eyes, "Ms. Spencer, it's real."
Ms. Spencer let out some kind of a choked wail and clung to Ichigo, "What are we going to do? You guys only practiced one song! How are we ever going to win?"
Everyone was silent for a moment until Toshiro heard Momo and Rangiku call out to him. He released Ichigo's hand and went straight to the the girls,
'What is it Momo? Rangiku?'
Momo smiled, "Are you guys in some sort of trouble?"
Toshiro rolled his eyes, 'Obviously. Why?'
Rangiku turned around and pulled out a small rectangular box, Toshiro raised a fine eyebrow, 'I think a congratulation present is given after one wins the competition.'
Rangiku rolled her eyes and shoved the box in the white haired teens hands, "It's not for you. Well technically it is but... oh, just open it!"
Toshiro was hesitant to open the box, but complied with her command and was shocked to see the electric violin he was suppose to buy yesterday. Staring at it with wide eyes, Toshiro lifted his fingers to touch the instrument just to make sure it was actually there.
It's really the violin...
Tears began to fall down Toshiro's face and he quickly wiped them away only doing very little to stop them. Momo and Rangiku smiled and Momo placed her hand on her cousin's shoulder, "As you can tell we bought the violin, Mr. Ukitake was very persistent about this violin, but thanks to Rangiku, she came up with a story that my cousin who has a health disability is in love with this guy and wanted to get this violin for him. She never mentioned your name, but he sold it to us, yet he felt awful about it. So we ended telling that it was for you and asked to go along with it. Now go to Ichigo!"
Closing the box, Toshiro hugged his cousin and Rangiku in a tight embrace, 'Thank you, I'll never forget this. I love you both.'
Rangiku squeezed the boy harder after Momo translated for her, "AWW I LOVE YOU TOO TOSHIRO!"
As soon as he go out of Rangiku's breasts, Toshiro made a mocking glare but soon turned into a smile before heading off to his lover. He saw Ichigo talking to Ms. Spencer with a serious face and his brows knitted together. Clutching the box closer to his chest, Toshiro approached the orange head with a determined face. Ichigo noticed his little lover walking towards him and went to meet him half the way, but stopped when he saw a rectangular box in his arms.
"Toshiro? Whatcha got there?"
The said teen looked down towards the floor and then back at Ichigo, he noticed that everyone form the music club was watching them as well. Taking a silent sigh, Toshiro walked up to Ichigo and handed the box over to him. Ichigo took the box with a confused expression and looked back at his boyfriend. Toshiro eyed the box as if saying, 'Open it.'
Getting the signal, Ichigo slowly opened the box and he nearly dropped the box in shock. He saw the electric violin he has always wanted right in his hands; all the more given to him by his one true love. Toshiro looked away and blushed before he saw Ichigo walk up to him and dropped to his knees.
"I love you... so much Toshiro Hitsugaya. I love you with all my heart."
Toshiro's eyes teared up again and he hugged Ichigo as tightly as he could without crushing the violin. Ms. Spencer and the other members began to tear up as well and they nodded to each other.
"I have decided to whom will represent our school."
Ichigo and Toshiro broke apart and looked at the teacher, "I have decided the both of you."
The couple's eyes widen, Shiori placed her hands on her hips, "We think you two are the perfect match that will win this last showdown."
Damon nodded, "Yeah, and you guys are the only ones that can click together instantly after listening to each other play."
Miku smiled, "So which song are you going to play?"
Before either of the two representatives could answer, the announcer went back to the podium and called for the players to get on stage. Ichigo and Toshiro walked up on stage to see Ikkaku and Yumichika on stage as well, both groups giving each other silent glares.
"The students from Seireitei Academy will be performing first. Karakura High students, if you please wait off stage. Ichigo held on to both his brand new violin and Toshiro's hand as they exited offstage. Yumichika sat himself down on the piano bench while Ikkaku pulled out a small Ocarina flute, the old traditional Ocarina instrument. Toshiro's eyes widen as he listened to the pair play in sync with one another as if the instruments were in war with each other creating that fierce mood in the atmosphere. It was that type of music you would find in a movie trailer, epic and upbeat. Ichigo also felt a little discouraged, however he held his ground for the sake of his school and for Toshiro. As the other school finished their piece, a loud applause interrupted and the students left the stage with smirks on their faces. Yumichika and Ikkaku walked pass Toshiro and Ichigo who glared at them.
Ichigo sighed and leaned down to kiss Toshiro's cheek, "We got this Yuki Hime." His whisper sent shivers down Toshiro's spine causing Ichigo to chuckle.
Ichigo led Toshiro onto the stage and immediately they were greeted with shouts and cheers from their friends and family. Toshiro smiled silently as he walked to the piano. When he sat down he watched Ichigo fiddle with his violin with an expression that of a child in a candy store. Smiling, Toshiro ran his fingers through the piano as a simple warm- up and catching Ichigo's attention.
Toshiro began the piece with a slow, soft melody that flowed across the courtyard. He took a small pause and that's when Ichigo took the bow and placed it on the violin and caressed the strings in the same slow, soft pattern as the piano. The piano and the violin played as one; in unison. Ichigo and Toshiro changed the song in a semi-allegro tempo; Ichigo played the violin as if the violin was having some sort of argument against one another, while Toshiro followed the main base of the violin with as much passion. Toshiro pounded on the ivory keys as Ichigo smoothly ran the bow on the strings filling the air with a loving and convincing melody.
Momo immediately recognized the piece as soon as Toshiro ran his fingers across the piano and she breathed out one word, "Resistance."
Ichigo's eyes were closed with a sincere smile on his face as Toshiro smiled as his eyes dart between the keys to Ichigo. Deep in his heart, he felt warmth swelling around to his entire body. The piano prodigy slowed to a stop, but Ichigo kept playing his instrument, his fingers ran across the violin's strings and his arm moved quickly as he worked the bow to make a long, fast allegretto ending.
Everyone was silent, but Rangiku and Momo stood up and screamed as well as clap their hands red. Soon after, the entire audience followed their example. Smiling, Toshiro stood from his spot from the piano and walked over to Ichigo and took him by the hand.
Ichigo smiled and he walked faster and as soon as they reached backstage, the orange head pinned Toshiro against a nearby tree where no one can see and kissed him passionately. Toshiro sighed into the kiss and returned it with equal passion until they heard someone cough beside them causing the tow to break apart and come face to face with Yumichika and Ikkaku.
"They're going to announce the winner in a minute, I don't think you tow should be celebrating yet," said Ikkaku. He and Yumichika walked on stage to await the announcer to say the winner. Ichigo grumbled somewhere around the word, "Jerk" making Toshiro to silently laugh before going on stage again.
The representatives stood side by side to one another next to the announcer at the podium.
"And now the moment of truth. The representatives of Seireitei Academy please step forward."
As instructed, the two from Seireitei Academy stepped forward with grinning faces and sneering at Ichigo and Toshiro. The representatives of Karakura High held their heads down, fearing that they have lost this years event.
"The students of Seireitei Academy, I am sorry, but you have not been chosen as this year's competition. The winner belongs to Karakura High!"
Ichigo jumped up in enthusiasm and Toshiro silently let out a happy yell and hugged Ichigo, who at once hugged him back. Momo and Rangiku screamed and cheered as did Yuzu, Karin, Rukia, Renji, Orihime, Uryuu, and Chad. The members of the Music Club celebrated with joy, Ms. Spencer stared at Ichigo and Toshiro before fainting in the arms of Damon.
"This is soo wrong," complained Damon while Miku and Shiori laughed. Ichigo and Toshiro stayed in their embraced position while everyone congratulated Karakura High school Music Club. Toshiro felt something in his heart that was overpowering the excitement of when they won. He placed his head on Ichigo's shoulder and summoned up his love and courage to do a miracle in such a whisper:
"I... love you... Ichigo."
Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes widen in shock as he heard Toshiro speak for the first time.
Yukiko: THE END! I'M SERIOUS! THIS IS THE FINAL CHAPTER AND SILENT LOVE IS DONE! AND THROUGH THE ENTIRE CHAPTER I WAS LISTENING TO JASON YANG'S RESISTANCE-COVER! WHOO HOO I LOVE YOU JASON YANG!
Ichigo: YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE STORY LIKE THAT! ON A CLIFFHANGER!
Yukiko: Didn't you read the beginning? I told everyone that this is the final chapter and I will be writing an epilogue. I may even post up a short sequel to this story.
Toshiro: 'Please be nice and pray she will update soon.'
Yukiko: And please don't throw anymore computers at my face when I'm not looking!
Till Next Time!
