『love songs』// A. Keiji

Hard Times

They would contemplate the stars together, and although they were faint, they still enjoyed the peaceful moments they had together.

If you must leave, leave as though fire burns under your feet

He didn't want her to leave him, but he couldn't stand her being in any more pain. Such a faint-hearted person going through so much, should have someone to take care of them. Someone with much more free time than him. He told her not to hesitate, if she ever wanted or needed more. More love, more affection, more time to heal.

If you must speak, speak every word as though it were unique

She obviously got furious. How would she ever need more than her lover? Sure, he never showed affection when they were around school grounds. Sure, he came home late because of volleyball practice. But was she crazy? Leaving such a gem behind, such warmth and comfort behind just because he couldn't always be with her?

So, being a person of many words, a very verbal and intelligent person, instead of yelling at him, she put her anger and her feelings into her words. She poured it all into each and every word, to make sure Keiji would understand.

And he did.

Her ability to communicate with others so easily was one of the thousand reasons of why he loved her. But he was also a bit jealous of it, too.

If you must die, sweetheart, die knowing your life was my life's best part

Her thoughts were crowded with negativity, questions like "why am I still here?", "does he really love me, or pity me?". Self-deprecating words haunted her every day.

Oh how he tried to prove her worth, to make her see how beautiful she really is. She eventually got better, or so he thought.

If you must die, remember your life

He caught her. He caught her hesitating and fidgeting with a bottle of pills, her glossy orbs, framed with moist eyelashes, were as wide as a deer's caught in headlights.

"What are you doing?" he internally panicked, what would he ever do without her?

"K-Keiji..I can't take it anymore it's driving me crazy! Why would they do that?! Why!? Do you love me..? Or are you just like her..?" her frantic and scared voice could be heard with the echo of the bathroom, and a small 'oof!' escaped her plump lips as he embraced her.

"Please, if you ever think like that, remember all the time we've spent together. All the blood, the sweat, the tears. Remember them, and ask yourself afterwards, if I do love you or not. I love you, (F/N). And I always will."

You are

You are

Oh, you are

you are

Oh

He reassured her, everyday, that she was the most beautiful person to ever walk the earth.

Everyday, her heart fluttered and flowers bloomed inside of her. He helped her when she was in need. He took her with him when he had tournaments, she cheered for him. They were finally stable. Everything was finally in its place.

"You are gorgeous, (F/N). You are the only person I will ever love, you are the one that brings me happiness, you are why we've won today" his smooth voice soothed her as he stroked her shiny hair, playing with the (H/C) silky strands.

If you must fight, fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night

Now that (F/N) was stable, Keiji was getting worse and worse. His worry never showed but his heart ached with concern for his beloved parents. They sent him a few texts once in a while, but they never came home. He was now having some problems with insomnia, dealing with all of his troubles alone. But he knew, that if he told her, she would never let him fight all alone. So, every night they would have a conversation, a deep talk. Where each would pour their feelings and concerns and let the other help them out. They were both grateful for each other. Passion burnt in both their hearts, god, how can one love another so much?

If you must work, work to leave some part of you on this earth

In one single year, they were able to do so much, in so little time. To heal one another, to finally become happy. But this year was the most important in Keiji's life. His third year of high school. He worked day and night on assignments and on homework, while (F/N) tried to cheer him up while peppering his shoulders and neck with kisses. He was smart, so she knew he could make it somewhere luxurious. But would he leave her until she would be able to join him in University? He worked hard in volleyball, too. His efforts and lessons were all passed by to his pupils, as he wanted to make sure he could leave a part of him in Fukurodani Academy.

If you must live, darling one,

They were finally happy. The year was ending, and soon they would be apart.

But instead of anxiety and nervousness, (F/N) was calm and at ease. Time goes by slowly, if you think about it. If you just take time to enjoy it, it'll go by slowly. Moments will be longer, happiness will persevere.

Just live,

Just live,

Just live.

They finally got their happy endings. Keiji went to a very prestigious university, and longed strongly for his beloved girlfriend. As time passed by, she studied hard and entered the same university as her lover did. His parents came home, after a year or so of being abroad, his mother, Akaashi Airi, a beloved mother and violinist, and her husband, Akaashi Satoru, her accompanist and a pianist. They had been in Italy to attend a multitude of concerts.

A few years later, he proposed. They got engaged, and life was finally fair. It seemed fair. Everything was back into its place.
