Note: I'm so sorry for taking long. I also apologize for the typoes. I usually work out of my cell phone. I really hope you're enjoying the fic, though. :) Disclaimer : The lyrics I use in this chapter are not mine. They are the lyrics to F-F-F-Falling by The Rasmus. I thought I'd make Bakura sing this song for his audition. :)
Bakura was entering a huge building. He was nervous. Bakura was terrified of messing this up. This was his dream since childhood. Bakura sang in a kids' choir when he was in Elementary school. He also learned how to play violin, cello, guitar, piano and flute in middle school. In high school, he sang in the school choir, played violin in the orchestra, and was also in the glee club. Apart from learning about his millennium ring and his yami, music was his greatest passion, especially singing. His father was an archaeologist, but on his spare time he would play violin in a philharmonic orchestra. His mother conducted an orchestra as well. He was serious about singing for quite a while now. He wrote songs, played them and sang them.
He took his guitar just in case. He also had a demo CD.
He went inside and notified the receptionist that he was there for an audition.
"Glad you're here, sir. My boss is expecting you. " She said.
Bakura went through his text messages. He saw four texts.
"Good luck, Bakura! :)" was from Yugi
"Best of luck, Kura. You got this! " was from Joey
"Best of luck, Bakura! We're proud of you! :)" was from Seto
"Good luck, babe. You'll do very well. You have this in the bag. I love you. See you later. 3" was from Mokuba
Those texts made Bakura smile and made him less nervous.
They brought him into the room. A tall middle aged man approached him.
"It's nice to meet you, Bakura. My brother told me great things about you." The man said. They shook hands.
"The pleasure is mine, sir! " Bakura said.
He took Bakura to a room where there were three men and a recording studio with a camera.
"I heard that you are going to represent The United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest. I'm surprised that they didn't sign you to a record label. Do you have a demo recording? " He said.
"I do, sir. Here it is. (hands it over and smiles. ) this is going to be my entry at the Eurovision Song Contest. " Bakura says.
"Can you sing something for us right now? " the man asks Bakura.
"Absolutely. " Bakura says.
One of the men turns on his camera and the microphone to start recording Bakura. Bakura pulls out his guitar. As soon as they signal him to start, he's starts playing F-F-F-Falling by The Rasmus and starts singing.
I don't go to school every Monday
I've got my reason to sleep
Don't you tell me how I should be
I've made up my mind about the music
I've made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
But I keep
F-F-F-Falling down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on F-F-F-Falling
This life is so full of temptation
And I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game
I made up my mind about the future
I made up my mind about the past
I know that I'm stable and able to hold on
F-F-F-Falling down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on F-F-F-Falling
(Falling) I need a flame I need a spark
(Falling) Don't be afraid to open my heart
(Falling) I need a game I need a shock
(Falling) Don't be afraid my heart is unlocked
(Falling)
F-F-F-Falling down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on F-F-F-Falling
(Falling) I need a flame I need a spark
(Falling) Don't be afraid to open my heart
(Falling) I need a game I need a shock
(Falling) Don't be afraid my heart is unlocked
I've made up my mind about the music
I've made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
F-F-F-Falling
"Thank you! " the man said.
Bakura was sent to a room while they reviewed his performance and listened to his demo CD.
"My brother was right about this singer. He has a great and unique voice. This young man has talent. " one of the men said.
"His entry for Eurovision is very good. He could definitely give The United Kingdom a good result. The UK did a wise choice by sending him. He could end the UK's streak of bad results. " another man said.
They approached Bakura.
"We will call you with the final decision. The executive needs to hear your recordings in order to give us a yes or a no. But, nevertheless, we were very impressed. Good luck with your singing and we hope to see and hear more of you. " one of the men said.
"Thank you for this opportunity. " Bakura said as he shook their hands.
He left the building
Bakura was hoping to get an answer on the spot, but he knew that he wasn't going to get it right away.
"At least they were impressed. " Bakura said.
Bakura then walked to his part time job (yeah, he works at a coffee shop as a Barista. He didn't want Mokuba's money because he didn't want people to think that he was dating Mokuba just for the money. )
Meanwhile Joey...
Joey was looking for a job. He thought he would work while he stayed in town. He also didn't want people to think that he was after Seto's money. He was too shy to get a job at Kaiba Corp.
He stopped by a cafe.
"This job is going to be mine. " He said with determination.
He went in for an interview. It seemed like it was going well.
{Music room at the Kaiba Mansion }
Seto was practicing for his recital. He was still nervous about his performance with Atem. The recital was just a week away.
Seto received a text from Atem an hour ago asking if they could practice together. Seto didn't really want to practice with him. But at least he was glad that his feelings for Atem were fading away thanks to his love for Joey.
Seto grabbed his phone and replied.
"Ok. How are we gonna this?"
He sent the text. "How am I gonna tell Joey? I know that I'm gonna have to open up about my past with Atem." He thought.
