Roof, Friday Night (After the Concert)

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Because there had been far too much singing going on for her today, Maladicta was up on the roof to be antisocial. Because it felt like the proper place for emo brooding enjoying the evening away from any temptation to break into a song and dance number.

Though, for reasons beyond her, she brought her umbrella along with her.

Odd that.

[[Open like a roof!]]

While the concert had been a wonderful distraction, Alexander found that, upon his return, he could not keep Cassima out of his mind. Restless and longing, he found himself going up to the roof, where he could gaze at the stars wistfully.

And feel another song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIz2K3ArrWk&ob=av3e) well up.

"The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake I miss you,
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'll send a postcard to you dear,
Cause I wish you were here.

I'll watch the night turn light blue,
But it's not the same without you,
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,
The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.

I'll find repose in new ways,
Though I haven't slept in two days,
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
But drenched in Vanilla twilight,
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.

As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
I'll think of you tonight.

When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh darling I wish you were here."

Obviously, he hadn't noticed that anyone else was out there.

Bloody vampires.

Maladicta just started clapping slowly. Because she was the best friend a prince could ever ask for! "That was very sweet, Alexander."

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"Zounds!" Alexander nearly jumped at the sound of clapping, whipping around to see that there was, indeed, someone there. "Maladicta!"

This, clearly, called for a cough.

"I didn't see you there."

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"You were very preoccupied." And singing like the sack of emo he was. Sack. Of. Emo.

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"I...was," Alexander admitted, since there was no point in denying it.

"It's nighttime," he said, seizing upon something he noticed that might be a distraction, "why do you have your umbrella...ella...ella..."

Was there an echo in here?

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh, uh huh," Maladicta replied before sighing and grabbing the damned thing.

It wasn't fair at all.

Opening up the umbrella, she swung up up over her head and twirled in place. Like you do in a horrible music video.

"You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because--"

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

And, oh, look. There was, randomly, conveniently, another umbrella. Alexander found himself gladly wielding it and joining in.

"When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella."

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

They had a magical friendship. Magical.

Closing her umbrella, she smacked the tip down against the roof before adding the rest of the unnecessary song.

"(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)."

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Which meant that Alexander got to do moves with his umbrella that would probably have worked better if he were female.

Well. That probably depended on who was watching.

"These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because..."

And who knew he could be so bendy?

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Certainly not Maladicta! But she was going to just file that information away for another time.

"When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella..."

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, Alexander was so glad this part switched on to him.

Actually, he kind of was. It felt slightly more suited for his...er, more masculine-ish voice.

"(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)."

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

He would be. Even though he was clearly the more feminine of the pair.

"You can run into my arms
It's OK don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because--"

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

That was just beautiful, Maladicta.

And, oh, look, it was now raining. But the rain kind of looked like...sparks? Somehow, Alexander felt that he should be concerned, but no. He was going to keep on singing.

"When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella"

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

You just learned to go with these things. Like not questioning where his umbrella came from or how they knew the proper choreography for the song...

Never mind that now.

"(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)..."

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Or why the sparks didn't set them on fire?

"It's raining," Alexander started to sing, but as he went on and moved his hips in ways he never thought he actually would, it started fading away.
"Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining
Oh baby it's rai--"

"...that was odd."

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

Maladicta nodded in agreement on that one. Mostly out of fear of breaking out into song again. "...ice cream again?"

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

One could not sing with ice cream in one's mouth. It was just impolite. Alexander nodded.

"I've started stocking some in the third floor freezer..."
