Shu's P.O.V.

I had to fight to get this far.

I wasn't giving it up, not now, not ever.

No matter what the cost may be.

Do not listen to a word I say
Just listen to what I can keep silent

Free stood across from me, his eyes blazing with the intensity of the battle so far. We were tied, 2 - 2. If I won the next match, I'd win the whole tournament.

I had worked to get here. Even if it had meant abandoning my friends and joining the Snake Pit, I had been willing to do it. I had to be stronger. Even if it meant losing a part of myself in the process.

The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me

I stared into his dark eyes, wondering what he was thinking. His eyes... they seemed so... blank, yet so full of beauty and intelligence that I had to look away.

I tried to focus on the battle. I tried to position my launcher in the exact way the Snake Pit had taught me, in a way that would almost guarantee my victory.

But those eyes... I kept seeing them in my mind every time I closed my eyes. I couldn't focus, at all. No matter how hard i tried, his eyes were always there, haunting me.

I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday

"Third battle."

I looked up, startled, and with trembling hands I held my launcher over the stadium. I could feel my bey's energy washing through me like waves.

This would be over soon, I tried to t h all myself, as I stared blankly into the stadium, waiting for the command to launch. This would be over, and I could move on with my life. I wouldn't have to think about all this ever again.

Someone somewhere soon will take care of you

"3, 2, 1, let it rip!"

I launched Spryzen into the stadium. It immediately took the middle, and Fafnir circled it, closing in for an attack.

Free might be the best blader in the world, but he had weaknesses, like everyone else. I had managed to find those weaknesses.

Fafnir and Spryzen collided. My bey kept the middle, while Fafnir stumbled away and went back to circling the other bey. I glanced to to see Free calmly watching me with those dark, intense eyes.

"You look confident," I remarked sarcastically. "But you haven't seen what Spryzen and I can do."

He didn't respond. He just continued to stare at me. Then, in the most calm voice possible, he suddenly said, "Fafnir, finish it off."

His bey came in for another attack, and instead of Spryzen holding its ground, it wobbled out of the middle, giving Fafnir centre stage. I stared in disbelief at it. "How...?"

I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart

Fafnir remained in the middle. It spun steadily, as Spyzen began shaking more and more, until eventually, it stopped spinning all together.

"Fafnir wins with a survivor finish!"

I stared at the stadium, not really seeing it, just staring at it. I... lost? But how? I had trained so much, I had learned everything I could about Free, and yet... I still lost.

It wasn't enough. It was never enough.

I grabbed my bey out of the stadium and stormed off. As soon I was outside and out of earshot of everyone, I screamed.

Houses as ruins and garden as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything

"WHY AM I NEVER ENOUGH FOR ANYONE? WHY CAN I NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT?"

I collapsed to the ground, tears running down my face. I vaguely felt someone crouch next to me and hug me, but I didn't look to see who it was. I just let myself be held, be comforted.

When I finally looked up, I was met with those now familiar dark eyes staring back at me.

"F-free?"

He nodded. "You may have lost today, but trust me, you'll win other times. You'll beat me eventually, and not many bladers have the skill to do that."

I smiled slightly through my tears. "You really think so?"

He nodded. "Yes."

Then, so gentle it felt like a feather touching my skin, he kissed my cheek. Then he stood up, and pulled me up too. I brushed myself down, and together we walked back into the hall, hand in hand.

I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday

Hey guys!!! I hope you all liked this story. It's a bit depressing but so is the song lol

Leave a comment if you want, and could request a oneshot if you want too. Read the request page for details on that :))

Btw I think I might let people request songs and then I'll pick a ship to go with that song, if anyone would be interested in that too. Let me know what you think of that idea :3
