Kankris pov
I slowly opened my eyes and began to sing as the crowd quieted down. Everyone needed to know how I really feel and singing has always helped me vent.
"I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days if that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part if that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
But im only human
And i bleed when I fall down
Im only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head,
Knives in my heart
You built me up and then I fall apart
Cause im only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds if that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
Ill get through it
But im only human
And I bleed when I fall down
Im only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up,
And then I fall apart
Cause im only human
Im only human
Im only human!
Just a little human!!
I can take so much
Until I've had enough
Cause im only human
And I bleed when I fall down
Im only human
And I crash and I break down Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up,
And then I fall apart
Cause im only human"
I opened my eyes slowly, not having realized I had closed them sometime while singing.
"Vwow Kanny." Cronus breathed out. He was standing in front of me. When did that happen.
"W-what?" I panted quietly.
"That vwas amazin'......your crying." He said as his eyebrows furrowed.
"What?" I asked again. I wiped my cheeks and sure enough they were soaked with tears.
"Oh! That's nothing! Im fine!" But more tears slid down my cheeks as I said it.
"Kankri?" He whispered. "Vwhats vwong?"
"Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up,
And then I fall apart." I sang quietly to him.
"Kanny did I do this?" His voice was filled with....pity? No. Sadness? Yes, that's it. He sounded sad.
"Cronus im sorry." I murmured. He looked down at me and his frown deepened.
"Sorry for vwhat Kan?" He said, trying to force a smile but failing. I quickly wrapped my arms around his torso and collapsed crying and shaking.
"Calm down doll." He said soothingly, petting me softly. I gasp, trying to stop my sobs and collect myself, but to no avail. My walls finally came down and everything i had felt in the last 2 years for Cronus came crashing down. Its like hanging a weight over your head and with each emotion you push away it adds to the weight so when it finally comes down, it hits hard.
"C-Cronus im I-in love w-with you and ~hic~ I dont kn-know what t-to do!" I cried. I honestly didn't want to feel this way. Not at all. I hated loving the sea dweller holding me tightly.
"Kanny its ok! Your fine baby. Come on an take a deep breath for me ok?" He said, rubbing circles on my back. My breathing didn't steady, it was ragged and unsteady, black dots starting to cloud my vision.
"Kanny! Damnit! Hey look at me! Take deep breaths!" He panicked, tilting my head up to look into his beautiful violet eyes.
"In, out. In, out. Your doing great svweetheart." He said as I breathed deeply. My vision slowly cleared and I noticed everyone crowded around us but all of my focus was on Cronus Ampora.
"You did good Kankri." He smiled and I leaned against him, placing my head on his chest. I could feel his heart beat against his rib cage at a rapid pace.
"Your hearts beating very fast Cronus." I murmured quietly. He chuckled and held me tightly.
"I love you to Kankri." He whispered in my ear. I froze and looked up at him with wide eyes. He grinned and picked me up gently. I yawned and wrapped my arms around his neck loosely.
"Where are we going?" I whispered.
"To my house if that's fine." He whispered back. I nodded and let him carry me to his house since its only about a block down from the bar.
He opened the door and carried me inside, laying down on the couch with me.
"Hey Kanny....look at me." He said quietly in my ear. I turned and cocked my head to the side slightly in confusion. He cupped my cheeks gently and leaned in close. I let my hands slowly curl into the front of his shirt, tugging him closer until our lips were only a centimeter apart.
He quickly closed the small gap between us with a sweet, gental kiss. I did what felt natural and pressed my body against his and his fins fluttered slightly. He licked my lips and I shyly opened my mouth for him. Cronus gently massaged his tongue over mine and I tightened my grip on him while moaning into his mouth. He pulled away, a string of saliva connecting our lips and chuckled at my flustered face.
"Love you Kanny." I grinned.
"I love you to Cronus." He smiled shyly.
