MikaYuu One-Shot Collection

The Song we Know so Well

I will lift you up, for now and forever

I will lift you up, til you're light as a feather

Mika hadn't made the best decision of his life when he'd walked out on his father, the King of Sanguinem. 

But honestly, there'd be no way in hell that he would even think of marrying the princess from Imperial Japan. Shinoa, her name was. She was nice, but she would never be his wife, just an acquaintance he'd have to screw to produce a heir. It all felt wrong to him somehow.

Mika knew that wasn't the real reason he'd walked out. One person that made his heart pound from just a simple smile, one he wanted to touch so bad, but just couldn't. Because of their status's.

One he knew was following him. 

"Prince Mikaela. Please reconsider." Came the angelic pleading voice of said person.

"No." I didn't want to. I reached my room, trying to shove the door in his face, but he slips in behind me.

"Why are you doing this to yourself, Mika?" The knight asked, using Mika's nickname now that they weren't somewhere where anyone could overhear them.

"You know why I can't Yuu." I replied ever so quietly.

"You know why I can't let you do that." He whispered. And suddenly, he seemed much much closer to me than before. Our foreheads were almost touching but not quite, and I found myself staring into those green eyes I wanted to drown in and never come back out of.

My breath hitched, realizing what he'd just said. 

"Why?" The word escaped breathlessly. His proximity took my breath away. I felt his raven hair brush against my forehead and my knees almost buckled.

Instead of answering my question, he started to sing.

I know you need somebody, try to act like it's alright, it's alright

Cause when you need somebody, no matter what,

I will lift you up

It was all I could to not kiss him. He would sing this common love song to me whenever I was stressed, or upset. We each hadn't dared say it, but from the way we both leaned into each other, we both knew.

"I should go." Yuu said. 

"You should." There was something behind both our words. Telling ourselves not to do something that will destroy you both.

But neither of us made any effort to move.

"I need to stand guard at your door." His usual duties.

"You have to." Again, the hidden meaning.

But still, nobody moved. 

We stayed like that for what felt like hours, just looking at the other. Wondering.

Imagining what we could've been if we didn't have our statuses. 

Before I could pull away, Yuu's eyes sharpened, just for a second. 

And then I felt something warm on my lips. And I moved with it.

Yuu had kissed me. And I was kissing back.

We broke apart, both knowing it was the last time.

"Can I stroke your hair?" I asked, my voice sounding broken.

He nodded, and the look in his eyes made me feel like a piece of myself had died.

I reached up to wind my fingers through his hair. It felt so good.

And after a moment, his were in mine.

And a second later, we were kissing again, this time with a fierce fire in both of us. 

And a second later, he let go, and stepped back, and walked out the door.

Leaving me in my room, stunned.

I turned for the window, looking outside on this day. It was raining, like the world was crying at our being torn apart.

Oh, I slipped. Wishful thinking. There was never an our, us, or we ever, was there? 

A/N: Can you figure out what song I used?

This was also something I got from another person. 

Calliopinaround, on ArchiveofOurOwn, with their fic, intimacy.

I also saw it on Tumblr, but tumblr is a mysterious place, and I can't find it anymore.
