Chapter 40:
“I hope each and every one of you here tonight will enjoy yourselves to the fullest. The next song I am bringing to you is a song I wrote when I was in L.A. a few years back. Its written based on my own feelings at that time. It is called ‘ai no katachi’. Please listen to it.” With that, Kazuya, Jin and the others all sat back down and listen attentively to it.
The shape of love varies and it doesn’t have to look beautiful
It’s not something you can compare with anyone
As long as you’re there, it’s fine…
We were close friends and were feeling coy and cowardly
But hereafter, the two of us will start to love each other like in the movies
I guess it will collapse
And even though I am not cool, I want to become your only hero
Be My Love… Be My Love
Love will be our starting point one day
And we will most likely let a bright flower grow
It may be sharpened in time and may end up hurting me
But forever and always so it’ll never wither
From now on, the two of us
Forever… Forever… Forever…
The isolation won’t vanish together with my faint heartedness
But I have finally begun to comprehend that “because of these reasons I’m with you”
This year on our anniversary, at a romantic place
Let’s say what we love about each other
Be My Love… Be My Love…
Love is always our origin, enchanting us with its vibrant colors
It will get wet in the rain and be blown by the wind
But still, it doesn’t die away
The things that you can’t do alone, can now possibly be done as long as we’re together
Forever… Forever… Forever…
I had forgotten about the things I believed in
But I won’t be lost now that I have met you
Hey, let’s make the flower of love blossom
It need not be beautiful
It may be sharpened in time and may end up hurting me
But forever and always so it’ll never wither
From now on, the two of us
Forever… Forever… Forever…
“There I am done… how do all of you find it?” Keita inquired casually as he grabbed his bottle of water from the side of the stage and gulped down a few mouthful of water at one go. And he received a positive shouting of ‘nice’ in return.
“Thank you.” He thanked the audience earnestly, placed the bottle back on the floor and adjusted the strap of his guitar slightly. “Okay… as I had mentioned earlier on that my VIPs are here tonight and in between these people, there is a couple.” The audience went wild and shouted excitedly upon hearing the last word. Keita waited for them to bring to a halt before staring towards the VIP area perceptibly.
Seated at the VIP area, Jin moved his hand over and covered Kazuya’s hand with his delicately. Kazuya saw a contented smile adorning on Jin’s face even without him turning over to look at Kazuya. Kazuya resumed his gaze back to Keita on the stage and held their clasping hands tighter.
“Kazu-chan, Jin-kun, this following song I am singing is what the both of you had inspired me on when I understood and witnessed the exchange between the two of you. So do listen to it. Milky Way.”
The shooting star that sketched the night sky
Did you see it?
Let’s say that even if our sceneries were different, the sky still connects us
I extended out my hand, yes, and tried calling out your name
I want to see you yet I can’t touch you
These tears streamed into a river
The crescent moon hanging on the sky
Brings me to your side
My increasing thought is burying my heart thoroughly
Such that I cannot even choose what to say first
Ah… yes, your eyes told me that answer
Even faster than words, I want to hold you close…
I don’t want to let you go…
This is not an ordinary love
I want to carry on our eternity now
As we are staying away from each other, my love increases every second
One more time… until the next time we meet
Say-Good-Bye…
If we are approaching an epilogue
I will send it off with the best smile I can muster
Within this limited time, I will become stronger as the loneliness increases
Let’s meet again
Immense applauding resounded through the entire hall for nearly a full minute before it subsided gradually in satisfaction.
“How was it?” Keita asked as he accepted a small towel from a staff that came forward to wipe off his sweat on his face. “Given everyone’s loud, satisfying applause, I will take it that all of you like it ne…” Keita smiled lightheartedly but bowed in gratitude seriously again. “Thank you very much.”
Jin and Kazuya felt overwhelmed by the song Keita had expertly written. This song truly represented how they felt in their inner minds ever since the moment they knew and acknowledged one another in their hearts.
Keita exhaled a breath and made himself comfortable with the guitar again and allowed himself to drink one more mouthful of water at ease. “This couple I mentioned… they have been through a lot since months ago. I think… probably even way earlier before I knew anything about them.”
The said couple in the VIP area tightened their hands abstractedly and nodded in silent agreement that they indeed went through a lot before they finally found their happiness.
“I felt really thankful to see that they are finally together now. I have seen for myself how things broke apart because of some silly issues occurring between them. It’s really heart-breaking to witness how two fated souls meant for each other, were struggling so hard to get together but yet at the same time, because of the lack of courage and probably including other factors, their hearts denied one another.”
From his position on the stage, Keita could clearly define that almost half of the fans were already blinking their eyes in tears.
“I am not trying to promote their love here…” Keita laughed out lightheartedly, feeling silly for himself and simultaneously, managed to plant some smiles onto some of the fans’ faces. “Anyway, I sincerely hope that they,” Keita looked up towards the VIP area again and saw all his friends over there had already stood up, listening to him. “Kazu-chan and Jin… can continue walking on the happiness road hand-in-hand from now on. No more things can come between the two of you.” Keita practically directed his words to the two said persons.
“WE WILL!” Kazuya and Jin shouted together in their loudest voice to thank Keita through the silent hall. Momentarily, every one in the hall turned towards the VIP area, trying to catch a glimpse of the said blissful couple. Some did. Some did not. Nevertheless, they were still generous with their encouraging applauses.
“I will make sure you do that!” Keita shouted into his microphone, grinning widely with his well-known smile. He maintained the smile and turned towards the audience. “To mark the end of the premium concert today, I am going to present my proud accomplishment to all of you here, especially towards Jin and Kazuya. It is an encouragement song I composed for the two of them. It is called ‘Michishirube’. I hope from now on, the signpost can become your courage. Please, listen to it.”
Everyone in the hall fell into silence and waited in anticipation on how the song would turn out to be. It definitely wouldn’t be a disappointing one that was to be sure. Kazuya smiled at Jin before he leaned his head down onto Jin’s shoulder ethereally and enjoyed the special song. Jin hugged his lover tighter in his embrace and leaned his head on top of Kazuya’s head. They too, anticipated for the song.
We’re standing still on an endless road in the dazzling indigo sky
while grasping onto our yearnings
Without a doubt, there will be swaying thoughts
If you sense your heart trembling
Let go of the resolute binding chains that tied us down
And let’s go
Don’t lose out to LIFE
Your regrets are your heart’s guideposts
Let’s start walking
Our journey is just beginning
Isn’t that right? Darlin’
There is no need to conceal all your emotions and tears
I won’t ask for stability as loneliness and freedom are the same things
If you enfold the ability to love around yourself
You will be able to do things which you believe in
Hey, it is not necessary to choose a life that is symmetrical to someone else’s
While we weave and mix through the countless encounters
Let’s run through the narrow path
All of us are travelers
Our separation will become our strengths, Darlin’
Don’t lose out to LIFE
Your regrets are your heart’s guideposts
Let’s start walking
Our journey is just beginning
Isn’t that right? Darlin’
While we weave and mix through the countless encounters

All of us are travelers
Our separation will become our strengths, Darlin’
Keita’s voice trailed off perfectly accompanied with the strumming of the last guitar cord note through the speakers within the hall. He looked up only to see everyone staring at him intently with their mouths slightly agape, dazed in their minds.
Silence stretched out pleasantly. Kazuya and Jin felt extremely touched with the song, so they dazedly stood up quietly and clapped their hands slowly and weakly at first then picked up at a faster pace turning their claps into powerful and reverberating loud claps. Everyone in the whole hall was soon brought out from their dazed state with Kazuya and Jin’s leading loud and harmonized claps. All applauded loudly in appreciation and encouragement.
Keita felt very satisfied with the scene and flashed a wide, grateful smile. “Thank you so much!” He took off his guitar strap and placed the guitar on the stand before giving a deep bow towards the audience. “Thank you!” He repeated happily when he straightened up.
“Thank you so much to every one who attended this premium concert tonight once again! I thanked you for not leaving halfway and showered me with your support and love tonight! Kazu-chan, Jin, I hope both of you will like this song that I have written. Thank you my guests for coming over to stand by me tonight. A last announcement before we end this wonderful night, all the songs that I have performed tonight will be released in the album starting from tomorrow onwards. I hope that I will continue to receive support from every one in future. Thank you again! Good-bye! Take care on your way home! Till we meet again!” With all those said Keita bowed again and took his glorious leave, retreating back to the backstage, not sparing a look back at the audience.
Kazuya smile broadly while staring in front which filled with the scene of most of the fans were trying to stand up and leave the venue. He turned to look at Jin and realized that Jin was mirroring his action too. Kazuya launched forward and pressed himself firmly into Jin’s body and wrapped his arms tightly around Jin’s toned body.
Jin automatically returned the gesture and rested his head on Kazuya’s shoulder lovingly. “Love you just so much, Kazu.” He whispered softly into his lover’s ear.
“Love you just as much too, Jin…” Kazuya whispered back while adjusting their posture to Kazuya leaning demurely on Jin’s broad chest while fiddling with Jin’s choker. Just then, Kazuya couldn’t resist anymore and planted a light, gentle kiss onto Jin’s collarbones which he earned himself a loud, girly shriek from Jin and a slight rough push away from his lover’s body.
“W-what had happened?” Kazuya blinked and questioned amusedly as he stared at Jin who’s busy protecting his collarbones away from any further attack with his hands frantically. “What, Jin?” They had successfully caught their friends’ probing attention as well.
“Kazu! I’m ticklish at the collarbones! D-don’t touch me there!” Jin defended, feeling jumpy.
Kazuya blinked at Jin a few times before bursting out into laughter together with their friends who had overheard their dialogue too. Jin pouted madly at their reactions and sat down in his seat indignantly.
“Jin~” Kazuya whined before he placed himself into his pouting lover’s lap. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know you were… ticklish… at there.” Kazuya controlled his laughter and wrapped his arms around Jin’s neck, pulling the unwilling Jin into a hug. “Sorry…” Kazuya felt the need to apologize again.
“Forget it. Since you know it now… don’t you touch there so suddenly again. I can’t take it.”
“Okay… but I can’t promise. Since that now I have found your weakness…” Kazuya giggled evilly.
“Kazu! Then tell me your weakness too and then it will be fair!” Jin whined mutinously.
“We shall see.” Kazuya taunted. “Will Jin forgive Kazu?” Kazuya presented Jin his best-practiced adorable puppy look, trying to distract his boyfriend.
“Yeah… Jin forgave Kazu already.” Jin muttered sulkily as he just couldn’t resist Kazu’s renowned adorable puppy look.
“Thank you~” Kazuya bent down and placed a kiss on Jin’s lips and beamed at him.
“But Jin,” Kazuya started again, “you really sounded like a girl just now…” and he giggled.
“No, I did not!” Jin defended appallingly.
“Okay, okay, my almighty Jinjin didn’t do that…” Kazuya placed another placating kiss on Jin’s protruding lips.
“Ahem!” They heard a fake clearing throat sound. “Excuse me, Sirs?”

A/N: Oh ho~ done with this part as well! I’m surprised that I could manage to cover the concert part in just one chap~ lol. I thought I would have dragged it longer, given my style of writing. *proud* XD Anyway if there’s anyone who needed to know the translation name of the last song Keita sang, it was ‘Michishirube’ which meant signpost. As usual, comments will be loved and treasured! =)
