Play Love is Gone - SLANDER ft. Dylan Matthew
Izuku saw a piano at the center of the park. He shrugged, and sat down with the instrument in front of him. It's been a month. Izuku thought as he sadly smiled. He didn't care about the people around him so he started playing a few keys, then sang with his heart.
Don't go tonight
Stay here one more time
Misty green eyes watched the couple across him at the kitchen. Cuddling and playing with the food.
Remind me what it's like, oh~
"IZUUUUU!!!" He turned just in time as she crushed him in a hug. "I'm so glad you're alive." As she cried while hugging him, with their other friends joining too.
And let's fall in love one more time
"Please, don't ever leave us again. You're killing m- us." Her teary dark eyes, sparkle in the dark.
I need you now by my side
"I'm not going anywhere, Izu." Those beautiful and determined onyx eyes locked at his viridian eyes. She held his hands tightly, assuring him that she's always there for him.
It tears me up when you turn me down
"I'm sorry, Izu. I- I don't- arghhh," she groaned. "I liked you, but when Ochako and you became a couple..." she looked at those viridian eyes sadly, "...I don't anymore."
I'm begging please, just stick around
"Why aren't you hanging out with us anymore, Kyo?" She stopped in front of him. She looked down on the floor, covering her face. "I- I don't want to anymore." Then she bumped him in the shoulder. He could've sworn that he saw a tear slip on her cheek.
I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me
"I'm sorry, okay?! I realized that I really didn't like Ochako in that way. It's you! It's always been you, Kyo." She stilled. He was about to reach for her when she turned around and ran.
I know that your love is gone
He continued to watch her laughing along with the Bakusquad.
I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy
He watched their 'subtle' glances at each other. The teasings, the holding of hands, the beautiful laugh she gave out whenever the blond gave a corny joke. She was like that when she was with me, he sadly thought.
Don't tell me that your love is gone
It was their last year in UA and starting their second term. He watched as his fellow classmates prepare for something big. He has a clue on what's going on, seeing that the blond was surprisingly leading them.
That your love is gone
He watched the two outside the dorm from his window. The blond kneeled in front of her and gave her a rose, earning him a kiss from the girl. The sight broke his heart more and more. Izuku closed the curtains and broke down crying, ignoring the loud knocks outside his dorm room.
Don't tell me that your love is gone
He watched them cuddle in the common room, laughing loudly in the classroom and holding hands on their way to the dorm.
That your love is gone
The melody of the piano clearly showing his feelings as he continued to play harder and almost slammed the keys.
I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me
"Hey, Kyoka!" She looked at him and smiled. She ran towards him and hugged the green bean of their class. He misses her so much.
"Yow, Izuku!" He faltered when she didn't call him by his nickname. But, he smiled at her saying, "Congratulations, Earphone Jack."
I know that your love is gone
"You too, Canary." She smiled widely. It's good to see her happy always. He suddenly hugged her tightly, earning a yelp from her, but she returned it after a second.
I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy
"Kyo?"
"Yes, Izu?"
"What would you do if one of us are gone?"
"Hmmmm... that's a scary question considering that you, mister, were almost gone, remember?"
"Yeah, yeah. Just answer the damn question."
"Jeez, sometimes I forgot that you were an impatient little broccoli.
"I AM NOT!"
"Yeah, no. Anyways, about your question..."
Don't tell me that your love is gone
"...if one of you guys were gone, I'd do anything in my power to let them return to me. I can't imagine a life without you guys."
That your love is gone
He looked at the invitation card that he held.
That your love is gone
He looked at the beautiful creature in front of him, walking down the aisle towards him. When she was closer at the altar, he couldn't help but let out a tear as another guy held her hand and guide her to the altar.
I can't breathe
"Do you, Jirou Kyoka, promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?"
"I do."
I'm so weak
"Do you, Kaminari Denki, pledge to share your love and the joys of your marriage with all those around you, so that they may learn from your love and be encouraged to grow in their own lives?"
"I do."
I know this isn't easy
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest announced before the couple kissed tenderly. The room was in uproar for the two. He smiled even though his eyes are starting to ache from holding back his tears.
Don't tell me that your love is gone
He watched the newlyweds dance at the center of the dance floor. His green eyes starting to brim with tears. When suddenly, someone held his hand and he turned to at the person. It was Melissa. She didn't look at him, as she was also looking at the couple then she spoke,
"I know it's difficult for you, Zuku, but you know there are other people who are waiting for you to notice them."
Those kind and pretty sky blue eyes locked on his sad, green pair of eyes, as she smiled at him
That your love is gone
He continued to play the piano until the end. Izuku didn't notice nor cared for the forming crowd around him. He could hear the sound of cameras clicking and the sound of the girls squealing and crying, but he still didn't care.
When he finally ended the song, he turned towards the crowd and bowed, all of them clapping and praising him. The pro hero, Canary, gave them a free piano concert at the park.
After a few dozen of taking pictures and signing autographs, he looked at the two messages in his phone. Izuku opened the first one which was from Melissa,
'ZUKUUUU!!! I NEED YOUR HELP WITH SOMETHING! COME HERE ASAP!!!♡♡♡'
He chuckled at his girlfriend's antics. He replied with a simple 'Okay' earning a disappointed reply from the latter.
Then, he checked the second one, which was from a groupchat of Class A (as they called it). Izuku smiled at the message, typing a 'congratulations'. He pocketed his phone and went back on his patrol route, thinking of the message.
Jacked Ears:
OMG! Guys! I'M PREGNANT!!!
Can't wait to spoil the little munchkin soon. He chuckled looking at the sunset.
