Another note at the bottom.
Enjoy... if you can. *cries*
lllllllllllllllllllllllll
I run.
Everything around me is a colourful, thick blur.
I'm running as fast as my feet will carry me.
I see Miku and Kaito, but I'm too late to avoid them, so I shove my way through.
Somehow, I wind up going towards the route to the outlook over town.
I don't stop.
I finally slow when I reach the edge.
Then, still feeling highly alive, I sat down.
I guess it was a good choice to follow my head today.
Then, I sit there, watching the clouds.
What have I done?
This simple question made an entire dictionary's worth of memories float up and flash before my eyes. Dreams mixed with horrid thoughts mixed with other things.
"I... kissed you."
"Just do it." I smiled...
"I'm lost in your gaze, which has it's own closed off world," he sings, his hand out to Miku, the other on his heart.
"Even if it goes unnnoticed, I feel like I'm intoxicated." Then, they both sing...
"Gumi. Sounds sweet." I blushed...
"Please." The word is empty, worthless space. "Let me be forgiven, or at least let Piko return... he didn't deserve to pay for my mistakes... which I made a lot of." I shut my eyes tighter. "It's not right..."
"Gumi!" A mixture of awe and...
...was that fear?...
"Hiding my burning heart, I close the distance between us. Your breath has somehow made my mind go blank.." Then, he took Miku's hand, and, facing the audience, sung the chorus...
"I'm telling the truth. This is the last night you'll see me like this. After that..." I trailed off, twirling the knife in my hand.
"...I'll be long gone."...
"Can I have this dance, Miss Nemanon?"
"Certainly." I took his offered hand, regally holding myself up, head high. My face was of the sort that I considered everyone beneath me- one I'd seen enough on Neru Akita...
"No... I'd be dead, likely. I would have went anyways, and at one point or another I'd have ended up here all the same. So, now I have you to cuddle when I need someone small and sweet to hold."
"You're getting murdered and I get to live in my river of tears."
"Well, too bad."
"Too bad? I get to live and cry, whereas you get to die and enjoy peace!"...
I lifted my head for a moment, tears sparkling in my eyes. I felt my wings raise a little with my thought, and my hands extended towards the window.
Then, I crumpled, my wings fell, my head buried itself in my hands, and I cried.
Cried for what I'd done...
"As with any common romance trap, I'll make sure that your lovestruck heart falls for it. Even in the smallest of gaps, I leave no traces behind me." The violins struck up loudly again, and Miku began to sing as the violins played softer...
I shut my eyes and let the late, warm August breeze tousle my hair. It'll get really cold in a week or so, which means more jackets, more layers, and more stuff, generally.
Well, more packing ourselves into thick coats.
"I doubt that. It's still in the seventies."...
"With a few empty words, your guard is already down. You seem like you just swallowed a poison that only I can resist." Then, both of them sung together again, fully into each other's motions, in sync.
"It's just as pointless to run away from this rusty chain, as it is to fight against the loud echo of time." Then, they both jumped apart gracefully, spinning in a circle before facing each other again...
I feel a sense of nostalgia as I remember sitting with him here, what feels like so long ago.
Maybe it is...
"We can hide within the deep thicket of our garden forevermore. I'm getting affected by the mixed perfume from our bodies." Then, the violins struck up a more intese, louder tune, which he danced with perfectly, ending with a leap onto his knees, sliding to Miku. Then, they sung together, standing up, their hands seemingly glued together.
"As with any common romance trap, I'll make sure that your lovestruck heart falls for it. I'm stumbling into a gap..." Then, they were closer together, their faces inches away as they sang the line.
"Capture me."...
"Get away from me."
"Gumi, we know you're really upset, but-"
"Don't even say another word, Hatsune."
"We should go, Miku, Gumi needs some alone time-"
"She is perfectly capable of getting up and handing a few slips of paper to a random person!"
"Just go away. I'm not in the mood to talk."...
Then, they parted, their hands now together by one side, Kaito's left and Miku's right. I smile as they continue.
"We can hide within the deep thicket of our garden forevermore. I'm affected strongly by the mixed perfume from our bodies." Then, the violins went to the tune they started with, ending with a flourish. The crowd exploded, and I grinned. Rin, who was somewhere behind us, was screaming random words that I wasn't really listening to...
The faint reminiscence of soft, warm lips on mine, the swaying violet curtains, the smell of lavender wafting so temptingly in the air...
I opened my eyes, and with shock, realised that it was already- at least- five, as the sun was nearly down.
Then, I paled.
Oh shit.
I leapt up, then ran quickly. Ran, again, this time because I had no time left.
My fate was in the balance of tonight.
lllllllllllll
I ran, panting heavily, through the crowd. I could hear him calling my name, franictally.
I was blocking him with my mind, for good reason.
He shouldn't be worrying about me.
I ignore him, and shove my way through. I sense that the light is red, so I begin to run towards the road.
I have to leave...
Then, I jumped as he finally caught my arm.
"Gumi-"
"It's all my fault! I wish I'd never hurt you like this!" I kicked, trying unsuccessfully to get free and not hurt him at the same time. Well, the hurting part.
"You're hurting me more by saying that you're leaving."
"It'll be worse if I stay!"
"Gumi-" I finally wriggled free from his grasp.
Then, I ran.
As I reached the other side of the road, I heard a car skidding to my right. Then, it went down the road behind me.
"Gumi-" A crash. I whipped around...
..to see my nightmare come true.
The bloody street.
His wings, crumpled.
His face, still bent with worry that now seems necessary.
The boy I'm crushing on...
Then, I fall to the ground.
I'm not worthy of life.
...was run over because of me.
I slump over him, almost hoping that another car will run me over, too.
But I don't deserve to die, either.
I deserve to spend the rest of my days in a horrifying hall that is neither alive nor dead.
I feel like the world has crumbled.
I raise my head towards the sky, towards these unknown gods that have just taken my crush back from me.
I scream at them, at myself.
My eyes are shut, and tears still manage to leak out.
It's all over...
Then, my scream turns into a wail.
...I've gone too far this time.
lllllllllllllllllll*************llllllllllllllllllll
