ROUND 2

  just thought that i should probably mention this is an alien stage au, so i dont headcannon the project sekai character to act or behave in this type of way. it is a fan fiction in an alternative universe, not canon behavior.

There stood a tall, ginger boy alongside a shorter girl with light brown locks of hair. They stood on the stage, currently underground, as it started rising up to meet the stadium.

  He was barefoot and restrained, a collar-type necklace wrapped around his neck as a matching cord was attached to the high ceiling of the building above him. It almost resembled a leash in a way, just another symbol of humans being treated like pets.

  Akito, the orange-haired boy, held a guitar in his hands as well as a guitar pic, a tattoo of his name etched onto the side of his neck. He wasn't scared, he seemed rather confident considering his opponent.

  The girl beside him on the other hand seemed in between nervous and calm. Her light brown hair tied up in a ponytail to the side revealed a similar tattoo of her name on the side of her neck. It read 'HONAMI'.

  As the platform rose to the stage, the aliens in the crowd watched with anticipation as Akito's arm raises with the guitar pic in hand before striking down on the strings, a melodic chord struck throughout the stadium.

  The moment the guitar strings rung the fear on the girl's face kicked in. What was happening? This wasn't supposed to happen. What is he doing? This isn't the duet they were supposed to sing.

  The boy steps forward with a confident aura, the sounds of the guitar strumming loudly rang. The lights shone brightly at him, illuminating his piercing olive-green eyes.

  His hands move at a quick pace, strumming the guitar with all of his might and strength. He looks around the crowd in search of you. The moment he finds you his eyes light up, but the look was not reciprocated.

  You were sat in a bubble-like cage along with all of the other alive contestants, forced to watch the horrors of Alien Stage. Your head was down, buried in your hands as you couldn't even bear to look at the stage anymore after what happened in the first round of this season.

  When he sees you in a look of despair, it reminds him of the way he used to look at you when the two of you were enrolled in Anakt Garden. Akito would admire you from afar as he shyly watched you play and run around with your best friend, Haruka.

  He was smitten with you when he first saw you many years ago, but he was too shy to go up and be friends with you. Not to mention, he had seen the way you were so bonded with Haruka that he was scared that he wouldn't even compare to your friendship with her.

  From afar, he had watched as she put a beautiful flower crown over your head. The way it complimented your (hair color) locks and enhanced your features even more. In that moment he had wished he was the one to give it to you instead.

  "Nothing was my everything. The melody that filled the empty me, it's you, alright."

  His voice sung loudly into the microphone, carrying throughout the building. It was connected and aligned with the beat he played on the guitar.

  He so desperately wanted you to notice him. Notice the way that he stayed up many nights in secret writing this song for you. Notice the way that he would sit in his chambers imagining playing his guitar (he wasn't supposed to be up that late at night, so he couldn't have his guitar) as he looked through draft after draft of song ideas. Notice the way he sung his heart out for you, and you only.
