[Lockon's sitting against a tree somewhere in the park, eyes closed, and apparently hasn't realized he's on the second level. He's a little troubled from an earlier conversation with Allelujah about whether each of them died or not, something he's still not really worked his way through.]

Tch, of course I only end up thinking of this stuff now.

Comments

[humallelujah]

[Allelujah looks like there's something on his mind. He goes to say something to Lockon, and ends up singing.]

♫I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest♫

[... Pause. Horrified look. He turns beet red.]

I... I uh... uh...

[heaven_piercer]

[For whatever depression he had just been in, Allelujah singing + what Allelujah is singing = bwuh?]

...

Allelujah?

[humallelujah]

[He just looks absolutely terrified, but there is still music in the damn background, and he's being forced to sing.]

♫What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you♫

[He cuts off, and puts his head in his hands, kind of wishing he could disappear right now.]

You get a blank post while Lockon tries to get his brain working.

[heaven_piercer]

[humallelujah]

[Peeks up at Lockon. Well. He's not running from the crazy person who just confessed his love.]

Lockon, I... I... uh. [Swallows.]

[More to himself.] I hate this city sometimes.

[heaven_piercer]

That's... Allelujah, I had no idea.

[He's very taken aback, and not sure how to respond...until his body decides to do it for him, and without meaning to, he's singing back.]

♫If my heart always did what a normal heart should do
If I always play a part instead of being who I really am
Then I might just miss the one who's standing there, so instead of passing by
Show that someone that I care, instead of wondering why
Why me, and why you? Why not we two?

'Cause love don't need a reason
Love don't always rhyme
Love is all we have for now
What we don't have is time...♫

[And he trails off, kind of wondering what the hell he was just singing.]

...Though I guess that last part doesn't apply anymore, does it. In a way, now that we're here.

[humallelujah]

You...

[He's blushing, and then it occurs to him that this wouldn't really work very well.]

♫If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No person's worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!♫

... Wait. What? I haven't...

...

[And then there are random people on the street providing backup!]

♫Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Man, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of♫

[And Allelujah completely freaks and sinks to the ground, turning red again.]

[heaven_piercer]

[He's way too amused by this right now, Allelujah's reaction to it all being nothing short of priceless.]

♫You swoon, you sigh, why deny it?♫

[humallelujah]

[y you do dis. He's kind of squeaking out the lines at this point.]

♫It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, man
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out♫

[heaven_piercer]

[Cause. He takes a step closer to Alle, still smirking a bit.]

♫You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, I'm not buying
Hon, I saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad?♫

[humallelujah]

[Is... not stepping back? Progress, at least.]

♫You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it♫

[heaven_piercer]

[Another step.]

♫Boy, don't be proud
It's okay, you're in love♫

[humallelujah]

[Yeah, gettin' pretty close there, Lockon. He stands up and puts a hand on Lockon's arm.]

...

♫Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love♫

[His smile turns kind of sheepish.]

[heaven_piercer]

[He looks at Allelujah a little sheepishly himself, not really understanding all of what just happened, and not having expected this from Allelujah.]

...So then.

[humallelujah]

[He just... doesn't know what to do. He kind of stands there awkwardly for a moment, and... hm. Sort of puts his other arm up, looks confused for a moment as if he's trying to figure out how this works, and gives Lockon a very awkward, uncertain, and altogether kind of lame hug. And sort of fails at it. It's not like he has much experience doing this.]

[heaven_piercer]

[It's touching and adorable, really, and he wraps his arms around the younger Meister to give him a proper hug.]

That's how you do it.
