karaoke on the road

THIS IS PURE FLUFF NO ACTION IS HAPPENING.

It is PURE FLUFF. Please don't hold it against me! I really wanted to fluff! I'm so sorry!
You can skip all the lyrics if you want and just listen to the music, and forgive me if the lyric writing is iffy.

Play the music as they sing for best experience!

You don't really need to follow my instructions but those are the pieces and what I imagine them singing like, so... yeah.

I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS as personally I find it weird to just see the lyrics and not know how the music and etc. is, but in the end it's your choice. :D

---------------------------------------------

"You'd better be worked out!" Jahad shouted as soon as he entered their house.

"As a matter of fact, they are," Ari said, walking out from where he had been taking shelter from their various fights. "Turns out you can take a sword with you as long as it's wrapped up, but it was a nightmare convincing Lo Po Bia that his pets would be much happier with the comforts of home instead of being carted from place to place so-Oh ho ho! Who's this?" While Ari may not be one to take part in arguments, he would gladly meddle in other things, such as romance. He wiggled his eyebrows. "Did you already get a new boyfriend?"

Jahad reached over a smacked him. "No. And shut up. He's coming with us on our trip."

Ari pouted. "Okay. The others are in the big room." He ran off. The Big Room was the largest room in the house and was consequently the place where they all gathered. It was filled with suitcases, stray clothes, and other travel packing signs.

Jahad sighed. "They're such prattling prats..."

"Sounds like someone I know," Eduan commented offhandedly and Jahad decided to not to ask who it was because he got the feeling it was him and his relatively calm mood would thus be ruined.

In the big room things were sort of okay. Gustang was still typing away on his computer, Yurin, Hana, and Bloodmadder were playing a game, Arie was polishing his sword, Eurasia was sleeping, Lo Po Bia was watching the game, and Ari was crouched down and also watching.

Silence dropped upon them immediately when Jahad and Edahn stepped in.

Yurin was the first to break the silence, and of course with an embarrassing comment. "Oi! Who's your hottie new little boyfriend, Jahad?"

Eurasia opened an eye. "I didn't think you were gay... you always struck me as being straight..."

"Indeed," Arie said with a malicious look in his white eyes. "What a surprise."

"Can you all SHUT IT?!" Jahad yelled. "We. Are. Not. In. A relationship!"

"He's annoying," Eduan added helpfully, though Jahad glared at him.

Everyone deflated. "That's boring."

"Don't worry, I usually do open-relationships," Eduan says carelessly. "I'm Khun Eduan, it's nice to meet all you guys."

One by one they introduced themselves. "So, on a scale of one to ten, how fast can you pack?" Gustang questioned. "We're going to the airport tomorrow."

"Five," Eduan answered. "It depends on how long this trip is going to be."

"Don't worry," Hana piped up. "We'll buy clothes and etc. as we go along."

"Great!" Eduan chirps. "I'll be back soon!"

True to his word, Eduan returns an hour later dragging a medium-sized light blue suitcase behind him. Everyone else stares at him incredulously. "Only one suitcase?" Bloodmadder asked.

"Yeah. So?"

"You can take two, you know..." Ari piped up. "There's no shame in extra packing."

Eduan smiled breezily. "It's fine. I designed this myself. It can fit all of my necessities just fine. And besides, I just need to make sure I have clothes and the required items to make my hair look this perfect."

"See?" Arie said, throwing his hands up into the air. "Finally, someone who understands the importance of good hair care!"

"It's not our fault you've got white hair," Yurin rolled her eyes, looking pointedly at Arie's long silky white hair.

"Guys, enough about hair and finish packing up," Jahad cut in, annoyed. "Gustang, what's our flight time again?"

Gustang looked up from his computer. "4:00 p.m. tomorrow. We'll have to leave really early if we don't want to miss the terminal call. Airport's about 45 minutes away."

"Are we sure that Eurasia can stay awake long enough?" Lo Po Bia asked. "One time we almost missed a train because it took forever to wake her up."

Eurasia yawned. "Don't worry, I'll be sleeping on the way there so I should have enough energy, then I can sleep on the plane."

"Sounds about right," Yurin said half-teasingly, yawning. "Can we go to sleep now? It's 9:00 at night and I'm tired from hearing you guys argue all day."

The rest of them agree and there's a slight commotion as they all trip their way out of the big room and into their own bedrooms 'cause for all they knew this would be the last time for a long time that they got to have their own bedrooms and beds. (spoiler, they were right)

Jahad sighed as he lay in bed. Why do I get the feeling that inviting Eduan here will only up the chaos level...? Ah well. I can always borrow Arie's sword if I need to do any threatening...

He had no idea how right he was.

---------------------------------

"Everybody here?" Jahad called. They were in front of their two large vans, which were both Lo Po Bia's as he had practically a menagerie of pets that weren't all small enough to fit into one seat and they all had to go to the vet's sometime or another. As a result both his cars could hold five people each, which was perfect.

"Yep," Bloodmadder called, hefting a drowsy Eurasia over his shoulder.

"Are all the suitcases in the trunks?"

Yurin huffed and puffed and shoved the last one and closed the lid. "Yep!"

"Great. Let's go." Gustang was driving the first car as he was the only one that really knew the way to the airport and wasn't just pretending for the comforts of the driver seat, and the second driver who was decided to be Eduan would just follow him.

They piled in, splitting themselves evenly. Gustang, Eurasia, Bloodmadder, Hana and Lo Po Bia got into the first. Eduan, Jahad, Arie, Ari, and Yurin got into the second car. Eduan raised his eyebrows at Jahad as he slid into the passenger seat, who responded with a mocking smile. "You're new. I've got to keep an eye on you."

"Let's get this show on the road!" Yurin hollered, and they took off.

Eduan turned to smirk at Jahad as he revved the engine. "It's showtime."

For the first thirty minutes it was basically them each doing their own thing, then Ari piped up, "I really wish we could take these cars with us, they're super accessible and also fits all of us easily... ugh, I can only imagine how squished and how we're going to have to probably be like putty to fit and no I so will not sit on the floor got it-"

"Okay, let's cut the depressing stuff!" Yurin shouted, interrupting him. She lurched forward and clicked on the radio. Instantly music started playing, and she switched the channel until she came to a song she liked.

https://youtu.be/L4H838eyRWo

Arie started singing loudly and slightly off-key to the male part.

Arie

We go together
Better than birds of a feather, you and me

Yurin paused to shout, "We don't!" Before continuing with the female part.

Yurin

We change the weather, yeahhh
I'm feeling heat in December when you're 'round me

Arie stuck out his tongue at her before continuing.

Arie

I've been dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark, can't get enough

Both

You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain
And, baby, you know it's obvious

Yurin paused to whisper quickly, "Don't believe a thing I'm saying!" then continuing.

Yurin

I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly

Arie

I'm a sucker for you-oo-oo
Any road you take, you know that you'll find me

Yurin

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (about you) about you (about you)

Arie

And you're making the typical me break my typical rules

Yurin

It's true, I'm a sucker for you

She mimed along to the rippling upscale of the piano then continued.

Yurin

Don't complicate it (yeah)
'Cause I know you and you know everything about me

Arie

I can't remember

Yurin

Yeahhh

Arie

All of the nights I don't remember
When you're 'round me-e-ee

I've been dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark, can't get enough

Both

You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain
And, baby, you know it's obvious

Yurin

I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly

Arie

I'm a sucker for you-oo-oo
Any road you take, you know that you'll find me

Yurin

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (about you) about you (about you)

Arie

And you're making the typical me break my typical rules

Yurin

It's true, I'm a sucker for you

"Hey, that's not fair!' Arie protested when Yurin started whistling to the music. She grinned smugly at him. Arie huffed, then continued.

Arie

I've been dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark, can't get enough

Both

You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain
And, baby, you know it's obvious

Yurin

I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly

Arie

I'm a sucker for you-oo-oo
Any road you take, you know that you'll find me

Yurin

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (about you) about you (about you)

Arie

And you're making the typical me break my typical rules

Yurin

It's true, I'm a sucker for you

The song ended and they both collapsed back into their seats. "That was fun but I really don't like pretending that I like Arie."

They all laughed. "Yurin, you need to work on your soprano!" Jahad chuckled. "It's kind of rusty after all this time."

She glared at him, then brightened up. "Okay then, you sing a duet with Eduan!" She looked extremely pleased and everyone else laughed even harder. Ari was even recording, no doubt with plans to show the other people later and give them an epic teasing.

Jahad choked. "W-What?!"

"Aw, c'mon," Arie said teasingly. "I did one with Yurin, now it's your turn!"

"He's driving!" Jahad tried objecting.

"I can multitask, thank you very much," Eduan interjected, a malicious gleam in his eyes as he started flipping through channels. "Don't tell me you're afraid, now, great leader."

Jahad narrowed his eyes at the bluenette who annoyingly enough was driving perfectly fine. He contemplated the choices: refuse and be shamed, agree and also be shamed one way or another. "Fine," he muttered. "But nothing too sappy or sad love songs or anything like that, got it Yurin or you know what will happen."

"Hai, hai," Yurin said cheerfully, leaning forward to flip through the channels. "Oh, this is a good one!"

Ari held up his phone. "Ready, set, go!"

Eduan winked at Jahad before starting to sing first.

Eduan

I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Oh. Jahad knew this one too and he specifically remembered telling Yurin no love songs but he couldn't exactly just back out now. He picked up the next lines.

Jahad

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober

Both

I pulled you closer to my chest

Jahad

And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told you,

Both

I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go-oh-oh-oh

Jahad

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

Eduan

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older

Both

I wanna dance with you right now

Eduan

And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every day you get better

Both

You make me feel this way somehowI'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old

Jahad knew he'd probably get teased later, but somehow he couldn't stop. Eduan's voice was so soft and alluring...

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go, oh oh oh

Eduan

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most

Jahad

I'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part like in our vows

Both

So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
Finally it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go


Eduan smirked and leaned over, quickly pecking his cheek before softly singing the last line into his ear.

"Just say you won't let go."

Silence... Jahad's thoughts were racing, and he could clearly hear his heart thumping.

"You're inviting us to your wedding, right?" Yurin broke the delicate silence, and with that all hell broke loose.

"That. Was. Sublime!" Arie cackled.

"I've got the video!" Ari cried, holding up his phone triumphantly. Jahad groaned and hid his face in his arms, too caught up with the ever-repeating memory of Eduan's lips on his face to be annoyed at them. He could rage at them later.

"Aw, your ears are red!" Yurin teased, cooing.

Jahad reached up and was shocked to find that his ears was indeed red. It's been so long since I'm been this disturbed... ever since... her... "Eduan... you bastard..." How dare you turn me into this mess...!

"You're so tight," Eduan said, eyes on the road but head tilted slightly to indicate he was talking to Jahad. "Shall I help you loosen up?"

Everybody in the car choked at that, several minds flashing to certain inappropriate things before Eduan quickly clarified, "Not in that way, though I reckon he's tight in that way too-"

"Yeah, okay, that's enough about my body," Jahad interrupted, ears flaming again with vigor.

"Looks our newest group member is also a pervert," Yurin sighed. "What a shame, I was starting to think you were at least decent. Anyone that can fluster Jahad is automatically on my decent-person-list. Don't try anything with me or any of the girls or you'll find yourself getting judo-flipped across the planet."

"Funny, women and men usually trip over themselves to date me," Eduan remarked offhandedly. "Open relationships are like that."

"Wow," Jahad said. "I'm never going to fall in love with you."

He turned to face him, blue eyes electrified again. "Are you so sure about that?"

There was a delicate tension in the silence, before Ari interrupts. "We're here! Look, there's the airport!"

Indeed they were.

After going through a small piece of hell called airport parking, Ari immediately popped out of the car and ran over to the other car.

Jahad groaned even louder when he saw Ari excitedly showing Gustang the video.

Guess I should prepare for an epic teasing... great. 

His mind flickered over to the memory again, despite everything, he had to admit it had felt nice.

-----------------------------------------

MWAH HA HA IRONY IN SONGS AMIRITE

I had to debate whether I should have used this song or 'There's Nothing Holding Me Back' for their first duet... hmm... I have no regrets...

Well, I had a ton of fun doing this so whatever! Life is like that for me.

Also, that one line: couldn't resist.
