It was your idea, knowing your favorite loser in blue was a fan of singing. Sure, he said you could pick what the two of you would be doing, but you weren't exactly against going to karaoke; it'd just be you and him. When the night came, though, and you were there, you got self conscious. On an actual stage was somehow easier, singing for strangers who you didn't know and wouldn't be seeing again, but here in the private room with only Karamatsu, it made you anxious.
So you let him start, and have a few more songs after that, enjoying his performances and trying to ignore the building tension in your chest. In between songs he'd offer you to go next, and you'd bite your lip and wave a hand, saying you were still thinking of what to sing. After so long, Karamatsu finally picked for you, taking your hand and standing you with him.
"We're a thousand miles from comfort,"
He started, letting go to grab the second mic.
"We have traveled land and sea,"
The mic got placed in your hand, while he gave you an encouraging nod.
"But as long as you are with me,"
Taking your free hand in his,
"There's no place I'd rather be."
He spun you under his arm, making you chuckle at his flourish.
"I would wait forever, exalted in the scene,"
He continued, tapping a foot to the beat of the song before pulling you back close.
"As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat."
Letting go, he did his own spin before moonwalking, making you snort when he winked at you.
"With every step we take, Kyoto to the bay, strolling so casually."
"We're different and the same, gave you another name, switch up the batteries."
Singing from where he stood across the room, he lowered his head and pointed at you dramatically for you to pick up the song.
And you did. Watching him continue to be his dramatic silly self made your nerves dissipate.
"If you gave me a chance, I would take it!"
Your voice came out strong, and he lifted his head, startled for only a moment before his smile widened in amazement.
"It's a shot in the dark, but I'll make it,"
It was easy to match his pretend stage presence, reaching a hand out before pulling it back in as a fist.
"Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me!"
Karamatsu came in, shaking his head once.
"When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be!"
When you sang the end of the chorus, you could see him melt in adoration, making your own heart flutter. The two of you had a blast singing the rest of the song, Karamatsu cheering your vocal runs and you laughing with pure joy when he'd take your hand to dance. You had just closed your eyes to sing the bridge when you felt gravity flip, and upon opening them you were met with Karamatsu smiling like he had the world in his arms. Really, he just had you in a dip, but if that expression didn't make fireworks go off in your brain you'd be lying.
You kissed him when the music soared with the final chorus, wrapping your arms over his shoulders. He dropped his microphone to return the kiss, a hand in your hair, the other still around your waist. The song was practically over when you separated.
"When I am with you there's no place I'd rather be."
Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.
In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.
Consider:
In the end, what you said didn't matter.
It didn't matter what you said in the end.
In the end, it didn't matter what you said.
Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?
The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).
Let's try it again:
When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.
She couldn't even cry when her mother died.
That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.
The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.
In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)

I was just listening to my day list. I hadn't actually listened to this song for a while, but I still like it!
I'm terrible at sitting down and watching more than one episode of a show when each episode is an hour long, so I've watched an episode every now and then. It's good so far! I've been watching youtube videos about the games now too.
Salty flavored foods are just so much more preferable to me. Sweet things get to be too much rather quickly, and then I can't handle spicy foods if they get too hot, but savory foods are always delicious.
Still, somehow. I'm a fan of a lot of different things, including now getting more interested in fallout because of the show mentioned earlier, but nothing stays in my thoughts throughout the day like the turtles do <3
Specifically light blue, and in general I like cold colors. Light blue, mint green, cool purples are amazing. I hate orange.
