Nox’s Perspective
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsSWEImkGH
“I never believed I would feel like doing something when I really don’t. It’s strange… Right? Concerts, although I like music, I don’t like crowds. All the stares, loud shouts, and the feeling that everyone is staring at you. Judging your every move.
Yet I feel like it’s all because of her… That I’m here for her. I have no idea what keeps me here. Here in front of the stage. Maybe it’s her laugh, maybe it’s the delicate vanilla scent of her perfume. The way her laugh cuts through the loud drums, creating the most beautiful melody for me. I looked at her. As they stood and sang the chorus along with the others. The words passed me by, I saw only her. How the delicate fabric of her skirt moved with her every move. How her freckles resembled stars in the night sky.
I felt my lips gently curve into a shy smile. No… I can’t believe it was me. That I was the one. She asked me to go to the concert with her. Of all people, me. The outcast, the weirdo, the broken one, the different one. But it doesn’t seem to bother her. And me? I feel like I fit in. Like I truly fit in for the first time without pretending to be someone else.
Vienna looked at me, brushing my hand with her fingertips.
“And do you like it?”
My response was a curt nod.
How could I tell her that? That despite my constant fear and uncertainty about what nightmare tomorrow would bring, I felt happy? Even for this one moment. Because she was here and I felt the warmth of her hand on mine?
Yes, my sweet Vienna, I’m happy, you don’t even know how much, especially when you’re here with me.
My lips twitched slightly, but the words didn’t leave my mouth. Vienna looked at me, that delicate, stubborn, yet mysterious smile on her lips.
“So, Nox, after the concert, shall we go back to my house?” I saw her blush beneath her hair and the way she watched me through her eyelashes.
“Okay.”
I replied indifferently, though I felt a strange warmth in my stomach. Because I already had a feeling this night wouldn’t be over for a long time.”
