You went to the same school as Akashi, Rakuzan.

You sat alone, once again inside of the school's studio. You always snuck up there after school, for some reasons. You prefer silence more than those kid's rambling. They always have a topic to ramble about. School, subjects, trend, and even boys. You could never stand them, considering you rarely talk to others.

You have one particular hobby, singing. For you, singing is just like breathing. You never sing for audiences though, you're just to shy to do that. The only ones whose have heard of your singing is just your best friend.

You sat on the piano's chair. No matter how many times you had snuck up into this room, you always missed it. You caressed the piano keys, cold as always.

You began to relax and hum to yourself. Little did you know, a certain red head is peeking on you outside the door.

Akashi dismissed the student council's meeting. The meeting was meant for Sport Festival's preparation. Being an Akashi, he need it to be perfect.

He walked out of the meeting room and locked it, as he's the only one left there. He heard a soft hum, coming from somewhere. Curiosity fled over him, so he proceeded to approach where the sound came from.

He was quite surprised to found you, sitting alone in the studio. He doesn't want to disturb your singing. Your voice had a calming effect on him, somehow.

It's okay, It's alright
To play the fool has always been my plight
In this tiny circus show, I'm the nameless pierrot

As I try to balance in the center
Of a ball as round and shiny as the moon
It's my job to trip and fall for laughter
But I always get back up and smile like a buffoon

But then I saw you crying there out in the audience
Put on a happy face, you look much better when you smile
Your mom and your dad don't seem to notice
The tears streaming down your cheek but I did   
Don't worry, cause I will wipe them away

It's okay, It's alright!
It doesn't hurt, I do it all the time
You should laugh, I want you to
This is what I do

It's alright, it's okay
I balance on a ball and fall away
In this tiny circus show, I'm the clumsy pierrot

You continued weeping and remarked:
"I know you're lying and it really makes me sad  "
"I promise that I never told a single lie"
I said, but you only started crying once again

"Show me what you're hiding there, beneath the painted mask.
The face that you never show the audience, that's all I ask
The pain that you feel when you are beaten
And tears that you cry when no one's looking
Don't be ashamed, because we all feel the same

It's okay, it's alright
Don't worry, you don't have to fake a smile
I just want you to be true
Just be true to you

It's alright, it's okay
It doesn't matter what they have to say
You won't face it all alone, I will cry with you"

It's okay, it's alright
You helped me find what disappeared  inside
It's the face I lost to time, the one that's truly mine

"It's alright, it's okay"
It's like a spell, the lie can finally fade
And the lying pierrot that I was has gone away

As you finished your singing, he clapped his hands slowly, "You have a beautiful voice, I have to admit."

Shocked, you turned your head only to see the familiar red headed boy, none other than your school's emperor, Akashi Seijuuro.

You frantically bowed at him, "I'm sorry, Akashi-san, I didn't know you were here."

"Don't worry, I am the one who snuck up here while you're singing."

You blushed as you remembered his compliment from before.

Akashi kept on his usual stoic face. He proceeded to walk out of the studio, "You should be going home now, (Last Name)." he stopped midway, "And, you'll have to sing for me everyday, that's an order."

As he closed the studio's door, your mouth were hanged open.

...what?
How did he know my name?

You quickly shook your head and picked up your bag. He's Akashi Seijuuro, after all.

He knows everything.

This one seems, really, really rushed. Man...
Hope you enjoyed it. Sorry if Akashi seems a little bit OOC.
