Show By Love!!

Show #17 - Finale

Two beautiful voices could be heard from the music room. One with a bright and cheerful tone, a girl's voice. The other was deep and rich, a boy's. Together, their voices sang a hopeful melody.

"To find out what we are ~ Is all that matters~" The last note ended in a pleasing harmony.

Cyan was looking directly at Crow. Crow's eyes glued on Cyan. From their song, it could be felt, their love for one another. There was so much more clarity to the song when they sang it together.

Cyan placed her guitar down and stood in front of Crow, "Well? Any better?"

Crow looked up at the ceiling and pondered, "Hmmmm. I don't knoow..."

Cyan nudged his shoulder, "Crow! Jeez!" Cyan laughed, "Be honest!"

Crow smirked and quickly scooped Cyan into his arms and lifted her in the air. Cyan yelped in surprise.

"C-Crow?! Put me down!" Cyan panicked, surprised at how strong Crow was.

Crow spun her around and held her close, a wide grin plastered on his face. "That was great Cyan! Keep that up and you can defeat any monster back home!"

Crow placed Cyan back onto the ground. Cyan fixed her uniform and smiled shyly at Crow.

"R-Really? You mean that?"

Crow patted Cyan's head, "Definitely!"

Cyan admitted, she missed the girls back home. They decided to head back to the music world, for they didn't want to be a bother at Cyan's place. Cyan still kept in touch with them through phone. Trichronika gained a lot more fans since the outdoor concert Cyan performed at weeks ago and were busy touring. Shingancrimsonz also stayed in the music world, keeping in touch with Crow as they worked on a new album. Crow and Cyan had been enjoying life in the human world, both improving their talent. Crow had been staying in a separate room at Cyan's place, her mother surprisingly welcoming him like another member of the family.

"Crow?" Cyan spoke up, "You don't miss the boys back home?"

Crow sat up on the edge of the piano. He leaned back casually and tapped his fingers against the piano's ebony.

"Well. I do. But I still keep in touch with them since we're working on that new album. I mean you and I both still make the time to visit Music City when we can. But I enjoy my time here with you. If anything you inspire me to write awesome lyrics!" Crow jumped off of the piano, taking a step towards Cyan.

Cyan giggled, "As you said. Love inspires people."

Crow grinned, "Love is worth the risk."

Cyan nodded, "Yes-"

Before Cyan continued, she was stopped by the touch of Crow's sultry lips. She could feel his lips curling into a sly smile. He let go, Cyan's heart sinking slightly at how fast the kiss was.

"Jeez Crow!" Cyan blushed.

"Definitely worth the risk." Crow winked.

Cyan played with her phone under her sheets that night, happily texting Retoree to check how her beloved band mates were doing.

Cyan: Hey Retoree! How are you guys! I've been practicing tons. I'm thinking of visiting soon! Any news? :)

Cyan blinked at how fast Retoree responded to her. Her eyes darted to her cell phone's screen.

Retoree: We've been good! Hope Crows not giving you a hard time ;o Manager's thinking of doing a live once Shingancrimsonz finishes their album. He wants to do a live of the two BRR bands. So that means we're going to have to come up with some new material and practice again soon. -

Cyan's heart jumped at the thought of performing with the girls again. It had been awhile and it felt like ages since she last made a song with them. She felt she could bring so much to the table, considering all the new feelings she had been experiencing since being with Crow. Her heart skipped another beat at the thought of sharing a stage with Crow. She scrolled down to continue reading Retoree's text.

Retoree: Another thing that's new, Shu asked me out to coffee. <3 I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

Cyan let out a tiny squeal. Her heart rang like a bell, she was so happy for her friend. Cyan noted how Shu kept gazing at Retoree when he was still recovering at the hospital. She was glad everything was falling into place. Cyan fiddled her thumbs on her phone's keyboard.

Cyan: :) I'm so happy for you Retoree. I hope it turns out to be a great date. Just let me know when you guys would like to meet up again. I'll start working on some material here and show you guys once I get there.

Retoree: Thank you Cyan. <3 I hope so too. And will do. Talk to you soon.

Cyan closed her phone. The house was quiet, for her parents were out of town visiting relatives. She wondered what Crow was up to. She stood up from her bed and made her way down the hall to Crow's room. She lightly knocked on his door, the door cracked open, for the door hadn't been closed properly. Cyan peeked in to see that Crow was fast asleep. She giggled at the sight of Crow sleeping with his electric guitar beside him. He must have been hard at work writing new songs. Cyan walked up to Crow and quietly placed his guitar in it's stand. She sat on the edge of Crow's bed and she leaned in. She carefully examined his face, as she brushed a strand of red hair out of the way. His beautifully curved lips were slightly parted and his long lashes reflected the moonlight. His breathing was quiet and even. Cyan bent down to kiss him on the cheek, when suddenly Crow grabbed Cyan's waist and pulled her to him.

"Kya?!" Cyan yelped. She was lying beside him, facing him.

Crow opened an eyelid and grinned devilishly.

Cyan gulped, "Crow! I can't— We can't— I'm not ready?!"

Crow froze, the blood quickly rushing to his face at the thought of what Cyan was implying.

"NO! Just!-" He held Cyan to his chest so that she wouldn't see his embarrassment. "Just stay here with me... We don't need to do anything. Just close your eyes. Stay by my side."

Cyan shut her eyes in embarrassment. Goodness what am I thinking. She snuggled close in Crow's strong arms. She relaxed her eyebrows and smiled at the warm feeling radiating from her chest.

"I love you Crow..." Cyan whispered.

"I love you too Cyan." Crow answered.

Before Cyan realized it, she was fast asleep. Only sweet dreams filled her imagination, as Crow's embrace fought off any nightmares that dared to distrub Cyan's calm slumber.

——

Crow was still fast asleep the next morning. Cyan covered Crow with the blanket as he slept. She sat down beside the bed and grabbed a pencil that was sitting on the table and a blank piece of paper. She turned her head to see that Crow was smiling in his sleep, the sun shining on his face. Cyan giggled and turned back to her paper. She wanted to pour her heart into a new song. She wanted to express how wonderful it was to be in love and to be loved by someone else. Cyan's world was more colorful and more exciting ever since her feelings were answered. Crow was right. She was inspired to become a better musician, a better person. Cyan began to scribble at the top of the paper.

She wrote: "Close to You"
