You and your best friend sat across from each other at the round table. His two friends, Ludwig and Feliciano, took up the other two seats at the table. With an exaggerated groan barely heard over the eardrum-shattering music, you slammed your head to the table.
"Why are these dances so boring?" you moaned loudly just to be heard over everything else.
Kiku was about to respond, but you were suddenly distracted by the ending of one song and the playing of another.
Standing up, you quickly shouted, "I love this song!" before grabbing the hyper Italian from his spot next to you and dragging him to the dance floor, leaving his date and your fellow loner sitting stunned at the table. You and Feli stood just in sight of them, dancing like fools as the two of you shouted the lyrics to each other.
"Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar!"
The Japanese man watched as you and Feliciano danced around, grinning and making dramatic gestures as you "sang". He felt a small smile pull on his face before a pang of jealousy hit him like a wave. He knew it wasn't reasonable, not only were you not interested in Feliciano that way but the man in question was also in a relationship with another man, but he still couldn't help but wish it was him you had pulled away from the table. Him who you grinned with. Him who you acted like a fool around.
"And,
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back."
You noticed him, along with Ludwig, looking longingly at you and your dance partner, and you nudged the hyper brunette dancing like an idiot next to you. When you got his attention, you subtly gestured over to your table. Feli winked, and followed you back to the table.
"So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home."
Sliding heavily onto the seat next to Kiku and seeing Feli doing the same from the corner of your eye, you leaned in closely.
"Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun!"
Now you grabbed his hand and pulled him over to where the odd couple who had accompanied you to the dance were standing.You latched onto the Italian and the two of you "serenaded" your dates. Ludwig stared, amused, at your partner in crime while Kiku didn't know what to think.
"Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun!"
Stepping into the middle of your small circle, you burst out into dramatic choreography while singing the next verse, causing laughs and giggles to erupt from the men around you.
"Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a toast
'Cause I found someone to carry me home!"
With an interrupting laugh, you stepped back to the edges of the circle. By now, all four of you were singing, leaning on and teasingly shoving each other in the process.
"Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun!"
People stared at your small group like you were all crazy, which you were, but they seemed to long to have the same amount of fun the four of you were having. Your throat was scratchy from singing and your feet ached from your heels, but you still pushed through for the sake of the song.
"Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun!"
The four of you took turns singing the verses while the other three would chime in the back-up harmony.
"Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight!"
Now all four of you took up the main part, swaying comically from side to side with your arms wrapped around each other. Kiku's hand was firm on your hip.
"The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home!"
You felt as though you were going to collapse on the ground where you stood, but the song was nearing it's end; you only had to make it through the chorus twice more then one more verse.
"Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun!"
Everyone was winding down and you were all ready to pass out when the song ended. Your forehead was glistening with a thin coat of sweat and your (e/c) eyes were bloodshot. But you were so happy with the guy surrounding you, especially Kiku.
"Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun!"
You had had a crush on the slight Japanese boy since you first met him in P.E. He was assigned to be your partner for the weight room, and the two of you hit it off. You just wished you could tell him how you felt without it being too awkward.
"So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight."
The moment the final word of the song was left in the air, Kiku crashed his lips onto yours, but only for a second. It was as if he wanted to portray every emotion before anyone saw.
His soft lips left yours, leaving you stunned where you stood. He stared back at you before trying to turn away. Though, he couldn't because you grabbed onto the collar of his shirt and smashed your lips to his. When you parted, you were slightly breathless.
"Hey, Kiku?"
"Yes, (F/n)?"
You bit your lower lip, pondering what to say. Finally you decided. "Let's not go to homecoming alone anymore, OK?"
He grinned. "OK."















BRAH
I love this. And you. AND KIKUUU.
I kept sending little bits and pieces of this to one of my best online friends, who roleplays Dave Strider from Homestuck, and when I sent her the kissing one, she's like "oh" and then a few seconds later, "OH". xDD Brilliant work! ;u;
And your friend, too, I guess. XD
Glad to know you thought this was good enough to send to someone!
Thank you! Glad to know you liked it.
