Against those fairytales

cloud of confession

Viven pov

I was wandering to the empty ball, searching for yuma.

"He asked me to come here. Yuma, Where are you." I asked myself.

After certain steps, i heard some piano music. J turned around and saw all confetti around me.
I was glaring every where for clues, but not I wasn't getting anything out of it.

I saw Yuma, on his knees.
My eyes turned widened.

" My pen pal, you know how much I adore you. You have always been beside me through all the stages. I wish you could be  my partner for always."

" You are joking, right?" I added to balance the awkwardness of the room.

" Do you really think in any way, I am joking, in such a ball room, with tha dress we both wearing, with confetti, do you really think?" His eyes seens like confessing something so honest but it felt so wrong you me.

I was standing there like a fool and the moment I got into my senses. I replied.

" Stop this yuma,"I had no response and immediately left without looking at him.
My heart raced.
It was such a quick confession with all the fairy lights.
It was so hard to digest.

We have been friend for so long. I even don't now what decision to take or what consequences they would hold?

It's not like I didn’t know about his feeling before but i never really understood how to react even till now.

I head to crystal studio, she must be recording her new songs.

" Are you nervous? It's unusual. You look so scared.
Want to fight several night, Ohh! It's been so long.
Ohh! You look so cute with such a shivering face.
But those little little step will not be able to get us in any way.
What are your intent? Where you at?
Stop this chase, it's not a child play.

I got little monster in my head,
They keep on asking me who i am.
All that pride mixed with giggles
Will be over once they know my name.
Cause i am a real monster.

I spread pins on ground with no riddles for you to solve.
The only clue is death will be the end of game.
I rose from the shadows so death even chant my name.
I ain't puppet or pawn, I am the real master at this play.

Count to 1 2 3 or 3 2 1.
Whatever your lord, pray for your last breath.

I got little monster in my head,
They keep on asking me who i am.
All that pride mixed with giggles
Will be over once they know my name.
Cause i am a real monster.

I am real monster

Don't run so fast, this is not hide and seek.
Once get caught, there is no escape.
Shut your silly lullaby, cause i am little uncertain.
Once awaken, this monster will live forever.

I got little monster in my head, oh oh oh, no no
They keep on asking me who i am. ouch ouch ouch, ouch
All that pride mixed with giggles Will be over once they know my name. Cause i am a real monster.
I am really monster."

She finished her song and immediately looked at me.
With her proud eyes, she waved at me.
I smiled looking at her and how beautifully she sings.
She is indeed irreplaceable artist.

I waved her and her face immediately lightened up.
She came towards me ans hugged me tightly.
She slightly pushed her off.

" You are still upset?" She questioned.
" Who wouldn't? After all, ghosting me for a month for a nothing.
" I had some work. Ohk let's compensate with your favourite place."
I smiled and nodded.

We were casually discussing of our girl rant.
And i somehow saw a random man clicking the photo of some teen.
" Where are you looking at? " She asked.
I pointed at them, she raised her eyebrow.
She took a knife and went to his direction.

I got panicked and rushed to stop her.
But it was too late, she was already holding his phone.

She rested her arms on his shoulder , which was litreally holding a knife.
She investigated his phone.

" What is this? She asked. Showcasing his recent post on his insta about that child.
I was literally panicking and hoping it to not turn mess. I wasn't sure what he wrote. But the creep he seems, it must be alarming.

She deleted it. And like me, everyone was staring with scary eyes, some face felt that they might already called police.
The child unaware about her role, too sidelined in the crowd.

"A joke." He responded with his eyes focused on the knife.
" Hmm, so this one is too, see we are shooting a prank video." She litreally signalled the crowd towards me.

I hurriedly picked my phone and acted as if i am shooting something.
And then she backed off.

" Are you idiot? I really thought you would kill him something. "
"I could."
" Stop joking around and if I found you in such murder cases, I will sue you before the family."
" You really take jokes seriously." She reacted with this statement, rolling her eyes.

" So what is the boy thing you were talking about? Do our pretty valentina have a real crush?" I teased.
She shyly looked away. She was smiling like crazy.
" It's not a month ago crush. It's for a long."
" Ohh!! for how long?? Is he your school bestie or childhood sweetheart or from the company, is it some idol like you."
" Guess even more."
" I already guessed a lot. Who is left? Aizen?"
"No, he is writer."
" like famous one?"
" Yes, i read his book throughout my teens. Since then, I really wished to meet him."
" From teen?" I asked but my heart frozed, hoping it wouldn't be the same name that iI guessed.
" I think he likes me too. He talked me being real sweet. He also felt that he knew me."
" I mean it could be his nature. Do you really think ? He is single. Have you met him in person."
" Yes and we have been good friend since then. I really think he likes me. And who wouldn't? Right?" She said with her proud voice.
I nodded and ate with a little grief, knowing her hope was false.

" What is his name?" I surprisingly asked, acting as if I still didn't get it.
" Yuma. My first love"

Crystal, I don't want to break your heart but how do I say, it's no you who yuma likes.
Her eyes says it all as if he plucked the stars for her.

She began to rant about him and stared at her blankly, half confused, no knowing what to say? So I pretended I was happy for her or should I say, agreeing with her false hope.

I smiled, knowing deep inside, how much weight my words hold.
So I gulped it inside till I wasn't assured of what I wanted?
