QUICKSAND (KaitoXReader)

The Concert Part 2

(Y/N) - Your Name
(H/C) - Hair Color
(E/C) - Eye Color

  The man wearing his signature dark-blue scarf walked to the middle of the stage with his microphone in hand.

"GO KAITO!" The girl with (E/C) eyes found herself screaming. She pauses and glances at the crowd surrounding her in case they were looking at her.

But when she did, she smiled with glee as they also yelled..

"KAIIIITOO!"

"GO SHION!"

"WE LOVE YOU!!"

"AAAAHHHHHHH!"

  She was concerned for the last one but she smiled at Kaito and realized that his navy blue eyes locked onto her (E/C) eyes.

He gave her a nod and the girl felt her cheeks warm up.

"Alright everyone! I have a new song I want all of you to hear. The truth is, I've been feeling down recently for some reasons but.. a certain someone in the crowd helped me out. And now I feel much better! I love you all and I hope you enjoy the song!"

  The man on the stage heard the cheers of the audience fade into the beat of the eerie and calm music that started to play. Before the first beat of notes, he remembered the promise he made not long ago..

Everything I've done hasn't been done for nothing! I will sing my "heart" out...

While I can still be heard!

While I still have time.

"Sinking down.." He put a hand on his throat. "Holding my breath to count.."

He brought the hand from his throat to his chest. "The standing of time.."

  At that moment. (Y/N) remembered her friend telling her how there was an hourglass stuck into his chest in his dream. The next set of lyrics brought the both of them, the performer and the guest, to reminisce about the times they hung out in the park.

"Terrified gasps of the past.. At last I'm struggling to move, exhausted to get through.."

"As I look above, the gap has closed..
Holding my outstretched hand, I know it's the end." He was sure that the lyrics would match his choreography, the music and the expression on his face.

He looked so pained as he continued to the chorus.

"I've been caught in.. quicksand, quicksand again!"

  And the girl with (H/C) hair and the man with blue hair found themselves crying. It wasn't because the audience swayed their glowsticks to the song with a sad and hopeless aura filling the room. No, they swayed their glowsticks in the air with the gratefulness they wanted to show to Kaito. They all loved him.

With or without an upgrade.

"Buried deep.."

  The second verse was made of lyrics that were very familiar to (Y/N). Towards the end of that verse, the both of them remembered the wise words that (Y/N) shared to her lost friend.

"When I disappear, I wouldn't be so happy only remembering my bad life choices.. I want to remember the good I've done for the people who cared about me. I want to see how good I've grown as a person before the earth wraps her arms around me."

"Hey Kaito?"

He smiles as the next pre-chorus is about to play.

"What's one good thing that happened to you today?"
