A/N: OMG IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I UPDATED EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY BEEN A MONTH!
Okay onto the story
~Feliciano's POV~
It was a Friday. I woke up very nervous because today in 7th period, choir, I was required to sing a solo in front of the teacher AND the entire class (over 50 people!) The reason I didn't do a duet with someone was because my only friends were Ludwig and Kiku and neither of them were in my choir class, and I didn't want to walk up to a random person in my choir class and say, "Hey, will you do a duet with me on Friday?" that would be weird.
Gym was my 6th period class, right before choir, so during it my stomach felt like it was doing back flips. After gym, I go to the locker room, get out of my gym uniform, get into my regular clothes, grab my backpack, leave the locker room, and sit on the bleachers next to Kiku. (Ludwig wasn't in my gym class)
"I'm so nervous, Kiku!" I exclaim.
"Don't worry, Feli. You'll do great. When Ludwig and I last spent the night at your house, we left your room for a minute to get a snack, we came back, and heard you singing, and trust me, Feliciano, you sound like an angel when you sing." Kiku responds. I blush. Then, the bell rang. I hurry to choir, not wanting to be late. I already had three tardies this year, and I didn't want another!
"Okay, everyone, our first person up is..." Mrs. Braginskya looks at her clipboard.
"Please don't be me... please don't be me..." I think to myself.
"...Feliciano, singing Demons."
Dammit! I sigh, and walk to the front of the room while Mrs. Braginskya pulls up the instrumental version of Demons on YouTube. The insturmental starts, I take a deep breath, and since I know all the lyrics by heart, I close my eyes, and begin to sing.
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how~
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
When I finish the song, I was near tears. The song was so sad, and reminded me of myself, Kiku, and Ludwig, especially the lines "Don't get too close, it's dark inside." and "I can't escape this now, unless you show me how."
The room was silent after I finish. I sigh quietly. I just KNEW they would hate my singing... I was just about to walk back to my seat when the room erupted with applause. I smile really big and hurry back to my seat because we can only have a limited number of people sing per day and I didn't want to cause some people to not get to sing today because I stood there smiling like the idiot I am.
This was the happiest I felt in a long time.
