Akko's POV:
I hate to admit it but, I am in love. In love with someone that is rich, in high society, famous, and has a reputation to uphold. I have tried various ways to persuade them, but my efforts have failed.
How can someone like them be with someone like me? The screw-up, the poor kid, the famous for being useless?! I had just found out that Andrew was going to ask them out... they would fall right into his hands. Who wouldn't, well other then me of course.
He's rich, handsome, high society, famous... how could I possibly compete with that?! I have already lost, but at least they will be happy. As long as their happy I can be happy. I just wish I knew how to finish the song, that was meant to be ours.
I grab my guitar and sat down on top of the tower next to the magic crystal. It was beautiful tonight, maybe this is just what I need. Just some closure and peace and quiet to write our song... oh wait I mean my song.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

I stopped for a moment, but then continued. I needed to let this out, let my feelings out.

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

I kept strumming the guitar a little longer. That's as far as I got. I was about to stop until I heard a voice singing, behind me. I turned around and saw the love of my life, crying. I got up, still strumming the guitar as I heard them sing. Walking slowly towards them.

You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

I opened my mouth to say something, but was stopped by their finger towards my lips.

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

I removed their finger from my lips and started singing the other verse that I had come up with, which surprisingly matched theirs.

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (it's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours

I stopped playing and put the guitar over on my back, and took their hands in mine. I was about to say something but was yet again interrupted.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied

I felt their hands begin to move out of my hold, but this time I stopped them. "I know you believe that you can. I know right now it seems difficult and unthinkable, but we can make this work. I don't want you with anyone else Diana! I don't care that your high society or famous! I just know that I love you. And nothing is going to change that. Please give this a chance."
Diana looked at me for a moment and started to cry again, but she was smiling. "For years I've been trying to hide my feelings from everyone, but ever since you showed up, it became harder to. You've brought out someone that I have been trying to cover, thank you for that. I love you so much Akko, and I don't want anyone else."
I wiped here tears away with my thumb and kissed her. "It's just me and you against the world." She nodded and kissed me again, smiling into it. For the first time in a long time I knew we were finally happy. And to think all it took was a song, that brought us together and connected.

Not my best work, but eh. 🤷‍♀️😊😁
