Cronus's pov

"Ready?" I asked Kankri as we prepared to head on stage.

"Yes. I'm a bit scared though..." He mumbled.

"Hey," I said as I tilted his head up to meet my eyes. "You love Heathers, and your voice is beautiful. It'll be ok." I smiled. He nodded as a small smile formed on his lips.

"Let's do this." He said. I gave a single nod and we stepped out on stage.

Kankri: "Fine, we're damaged.... Really damaged, but that does not make us wise!
We're not special
We're not different
We don't choose who lives or dies!
Let's be normal,
See bad movies,
Sneak a beer and watch t.v.
We'll bake brownies, or go bowling!
Don't you want a life with me...?
Can't we be seventeen?
That's all I want to do.
If you could let me in, I could be good with you.

People hurt us

Cronus: Or they vanish

Kankri: And you're right, it really blows, but we let go

Cronus: Take a deep breath

Kankri: And go buy some summer clothes.
We'll go camping

Cronus: Play some poker

Kankri: And we'll eat some chili fries. Maybe prom night?

Cronus: Maybe dancing...

Kankri: Don't stop looking in my eyes!

Our eyes were locked together and the crowd seemed to have faded at this point. Kankri's voice lulling me into a trance.

Cronus: Your eyes

Both: Can't we be seventeen? Is that so hard to do? If you could let me in, I could be good with you!
Let us be seventeen! If we've still got the right.

Kankri: So what's it gonna be? I wanna be with you!

Cronus: I wanna be with you

Kankri: Wanna be with you

Both: tonight!

Kankri: Yeah we're damaged...

I see a few tears leak down Kankri's cheeks as he sings this.

Cronus: Badly damaged.

I smile at him and he smiles back.

Both: But your love's to good to lose

Kankri: Hold me tighter.

Cronus: Even closer

Kankri: I'll stay if I'm what you choose...

His eyes held a certain seriousness as he said this. This isn't just music anymore.

Cronus: Can't we be seventeen?

Kankri: If I am what you choose

Cronus: If we've still got the right

Kankri: Cause you're the one I choose

Cronus: You're the one I choose.

Both: You're the one I choose

The crowd burst into applause, but I ignored them as I pulled Kankri in for a kiss. He stiffened for a second before wrapping his arms around me and kissing me back.

"I love you." He whispered over the roar of the crowd.

"I love you to." I grinned before pulling him into another kiss.
