Author's Note: Another one I'm pretty fond of. The song is Code by Nishikido Ryo.
Kayoko x Mitsuko
Prompt: I'll write a drabble of my character singing to yours.
"Right now, the proof that you're one to two steps ahead of me,
Helps by breaking the growing silence…"
Kayoko's ears perked up as she walked past the classroom. She paused, and the voice she'd heard continued.
"You pretend to be amused listening to someone else's story,
But I want to continue seeing your smile so I swallow my words…"
Who is that? Kayoko wondered. She reached for the doorknob and turned it, poking her head into the room curiously. Ah… Mitsuko.
Mitsuko stood at the front of the room, wiping down the chalkboard with a rag. Kayoko guessed that she was in detention — it wasn't exactly an uncommon occurance.
"Am I naive for wanting more than I have now?
Are you going to suggest that I should be giving instead of receiving?
You can warn me that there is no such thing is forever…"
Kayoko stood in the doorway quietly, listening. Mitsuko didn't necessarily have the purest voice she'd ever head, but hers had an undeniable raw power. Though it may not have been what most people would label exceptional singing, Kayoko thought she was good.
After a moment, Mitsuko finally caught onto the fact that she wasn't alone. Kayoko tensed, expecting an outburst, but Mitsuko just finished the verse, all the while smirking at Kayoko.
"But I want to shine with you,
Even if it's just for a moment…"
Kayoko looked at her, speechless, and Mitsuko raised an eyebrow. "Hear something you like?"
"You're really good!" Kayoko told her, smiling. "Why don't you sing more often?"
Mitsuko shrugged. "It's never been much of a hobby, really…" She winked. "Just trying to pass the time."
