Song: A thousand years

By : Christina Perri

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

After calming down his anger, Splendont realized that he had flown far away. This place, he had never seen it before but fortunately, it was still close to town so he could easily return.

In the silent space where he was standing in the air , there was a singing voice. Splendont was surprised to hear it , it was a gentle voice he had never heard before, probably because he was used to the screaming of the civilian in town.

And because of his curiosity, he flew to where the singing was. It was inside a strange house. the young man came to the window and looked inside. He saw a girl, she sat under the window and sang passionately. Looks like she still hasn't noticed his presence yet.

The girl sang in a soft voice that gradually attracted him. Splendont was standing by the window and listening.

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

As she finished her song, (y / n) felt no longer lonely, the song was always the best way to calm her down. (y / n) stood up and leave but a voice startles her.

"You're good at singing! By the way, my name is Splendont. "He introduced himself.

but the response was the panic and fear of (y / n). She ran as fast as she could and hid behind the door of the room like she had hid from Flippy.

Splendont sweat drop, apologizing to her: "Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you, it's just that I heard someone singing around here so I'm curious. "

(y / n) timidly looked at him, clutching the door like her life depended on it. She has not trusted this guy yet but it seems like he wouldn't harm her .

Splendont reaching into his pocket to find something in his jacket.

"To apologize, you can take this." He took out a chocolate and brought it to her. (y / n) was still standing there , she didn't move at all. Sighing, he lowered his head and said, "Perhaps you find me bothersome? It's okay, I'll leave now ... "

Splendont intends to put the chocolate back in but there was a hand stopping him. He looked at her surprisingly.

'When did she come here !?' he thought, looking at her.

(y / n) shaking her head, still holding his hand. " You don't want me to go?" He asked and she nodded slightly.

feeling relieved, Splendont finally smiled. knowing that someone didn't hate him because his personality made a part of him extremely happy .

"Here" he put the chocolate on her hand, she accepted it but hesitated as she didn't know what to do with it.

"This is delicious! You should try it. "Splendont broke a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth.

The taste is both bitter and sweet made she love it right from the first taste.

"Heh, you're such a strange girl" Splendont stroked her hair and cat ears, he noticed them at the beginning but didn't care much because he was used to a lot of strange things in his town. (y / n) busy eating so she didn't notice that Splendont was touching her cat ears .

He stopped his actions when he realized what he was doing, Splendont blushed as if this was the most embarrassing thing he ever did.

He stopped thinking as (y/n) pulled his sleeve lightly . She pointed to the TV over there.

"You wanted me to watch TV with you?"

(Y/n) nodded

"Sorry, I can't enter other people's houses" Splendont replied, he saw that the room contained many items for the soldiers , they couldn't belong to a small girl like her so she must has someone else lives here with her.

And the way she communicates, she doesn't talk but only communicates with him by gestures, but he was sure that she was not mute because she could sing back then .

"I forgot to ask you this, what's your name?" He asked but was immediately interrupted by another voice.

"Neko! I'm home! "It was Flippy's voice.

"It seems like a friend of your finally come home, I have to go now or else I will cause more troubles" Splendont jump out the window and standing on the air. (Y / n) looked at him with amazement.

" your name is Neko right? It was nice to meet you. Farewell" finished his words, he flew away before she could react.

She watched him fly away then turned away . She went out of the room as she saw Flippy, he was very tired. Seeing (y/n), Flippy smiled again .

"How are you, Neko?" He asked and walked over to her. (y/n) just stand there silently. Getting used to her silence, Flippy looked at her shoulder where he pushed her out in the morning. He raised his hand to check if the mark was still there. (y/n) saw that, unconsciously backing away.

'she's still scared' Flippy thought.

"we have a lot of time . how about getting to know more about each other, what do you think?"

This time, he took her hand lightly, afraid that he would scare her again.

"let's go"

She just looked at him but listened and followed him. Flippy let her sit on a chair, and he sat opposite, the thing that separates the two was the dining table. The soldier opened the bag he was wearing and took out some items to put on the table.

"This is papers and pens, you can't speak but do you know how to write?" Flippy asked but she just shook her head. She could not write.

"Is that so, if that's the case, I can show you how to write tomorow ... how about drawing? Do you know how to draw?"

Hearing him say that, she happily nodded .she really liked drawing. Flippy smiled a little and then handed her the papers and pens.

She sat there holding the pen and drawing on the paper. She drew everything she knew and things around her.

After a few minutes, she put down the pen and handed him the picture.

"Let's see" Flippy looked at the picture and he was surprised what was in it. In the picture was a girl with [hair color ] hair and with a tail and cat ears that he thinks was (y/n). Surrounding was an empty room . She also drew a group of people wearing white clothes that looked like scientists .

In just one picture, he almost understood her life. She was the experiment of these scientists, who locked her away from the outside world so she could not know anything.

But the most mysterious thing here was how could she escaped and appeared here.

He stopped his thoughts when she lightly touched his shoulder.

"Huh?" He looked up. Her face seemed excited and then handed him the pen.

"You want to know about me?" Flippy asked and laughed.

"I don't need to draw, just talking is okay"

" Her name is Neko?" Splendont thought, he was now lying comfortably on the sofa inside Splendid's house. For the time being, what he thought was only her and every time he did that, he laughed a little.

"Hey Splendont, what have you been laughing at all this time?" Splendid's voice startling him.

"Nothing ! why would you care about that? " hearing Splendont said, Splendid narrowed his eyes, his smile turned into a smirk.

"Do you have a crush on someone? ~" Splendid teased and continued "Just kidding, how can you like anyone-"

Splandid stopped his words when he saw Splendont, whose face turned red like a tomato. The hero's eyes wide in shock.

"It can't be ... YOU REALLY LIKE SOMEONE !!!! ???" He shouted, not expecting that one day his younger brother had crush on someone.

"So what? you can't believe it ??" Splendont muttered, feeling uneasy about his brother's attitude.

Splendid nod, which made him even more angry.

"Who ... Who is your crush? "Splendid asked.

"you don't need to know"

" Giggle?"

"no"

"Pentunia or Lammy?"

"None of them"

"Don't tell me it's Flaky!?"

"No!!!"

"then who? Those are the only girls in this town ... or could it's be, you're GAY?! "

Splendid was kicked by the younger brother.

"Are you crazy?"

Sighing, Splendid stood up. He was about to walked away but before he took any steps forward, he looked at Splendont and said :

" Remember to treat her well! "Then he ran away and left Splendont blushing.

"YOU SHUT UP !!!!"
