Title: Next to You

Rating: PG
Pairing: Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi
Disclaimer: I own no one, only my dirty imagination.
Summary: Then, then he is right there next to you, all long legs and bright stunning smile, his voice matching yours exactly how it’s supposed to. This is what you’ve been waiting for.
Comments: Yesterday I spent the whole day watching different lives and sjm videoclips with friends, and I kept on complaining I want to see a qmi duet. I guess my subconscious remembered it during the night since I woke up with this XD This is kind of an experiment since I’ve never written in second person before, but that is how it came out so …I hope the pov serves the purpose it should. I kind of liked writing it but I don’t think I’ll end up using second person that much in the future x)



The familiar beat of the carefully chosen song is already pounding through your veins even if the song hasn’t even yet begun. You stand on the side, ready to step on stage when the first notes resonate through the air and you have a definite feeling that you’ve never been this nervous before. You are wrong, of course, since you get this nervous each single time before this song but still it always seems new, every time.

Your heart is beating like a drum in your ribcage, ready to burst free and you try to breathe in deep, force yourself calm down. Your palms are sweaty and you wipe them on your pants for what feels like the millionth time during the past five minutes, just because you are so nervous. You keep on fidgeting, just barely noticeably, unable to stay completely still no matter what you do.

And you keep smiling all along.

When it’s time to step on stage you send a quick prayer upstairs – or no, it’s not really a prayer as much as it is a thank you, thank you so much – and the next second you are surrounded by blinding lights and the cheers of the audience. You smile, but your eyes dart to the side, searching. Searching for what isn’t there yet and you know it.

The nervousness has faded to the background, like it always does, and your voice doesn’t waver when you let the song begin, enjoy the easiness with which the melody slips off your tongue. You’ve rehearsed this a million times and you know it will all go down exactly how you want. You’re just building up, waiting for the right moment. Waiting for him.

You know when to expect it and you close your eyes, nearly hold your breath.

Another voice joins yours and it’s your turn to fall silent, to listen to the familiar syllables. It’s a voice so different from your own, and yet so similar, so fitting in so many ways. You grin, the corner of your mouth quirking upward and you turn your head, finally opening your eyes.

Then, then he is right there next to you, all long legs and bright stunning smile, his voice matching yours exactly how it’s supposed to.

He smiles and you smile, since there is nothing else you can do when he is there with you.

You look him straight in the eye when you reach the chorus and when he reaches out for you, you don’t even try to pull back. You are in this together and you want to show it. You know it’s only thinly veiled in politeness, supporting a friend in the only way possible, while in reality there is so much more.

The audience, the scorching lights and the cheers, you love them. But you have a definite feeling you could live without them. As long as you’d have his voice twine with yours, his fingers brushing against your own, his gaze directed at you, his waist under your arm when you pull him closer.

It’s over way too soon and he gives you one last smile, his eyes sparkling when he spins around and leaves you standing there. Like always. Like it has to be. Just before he vanishes from your sight he turns to look at you and you can almost hear the impish Oh Kui Xian~ in your mind when he mouths it through his grin.

You can’t help but want more. One song is never enough.

There are other people next to you now, people you care about, but it’s not the same. You match their smiles and follow the routine, tease them and let yourself to be teased in turn. But somewhere, in the back of your mind, you see that stunning smile and it makes your own turn just a little bit wider.

You don’t want this to ever end. At the same time you can’t wait till it’s over and you can run backstage, only to sink into a warm, congratulatory embrace. Hear his laughter and feel his smile on your skin.

Somewhere in the midst of this all, you wonder when exactly it happened. When did your world start revolving around him? You can’t remember, distinguish a single moment from the blur of everything you’ve been through. But it doesn’t matter.

As long as you keep gravitating towards each other.

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

I knowwww~ I so want to hear them do a duet! It'd make me so happy I might just explode XD

Thank you for reading and commenting! :)

[sefin.livejournal.com]

Just came to say that I loved this and I love you and I don't really have much time to say anything more but this was beautiful and if I was alone I'd cry rn ;----; <3

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you so, so much! ♥ I'm happy to hear you liked it and heey no crying *hands tissues* ;__;♥

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

The two of them are just way too adorable together for their own good! haha I watched some videos yesterday with a friend and even he said he thinks they're made for each other XD

They should do the duet! :/ I want it! It'd be the most amazing thing ever.

Thank you for reading and commenting! :D

[ogawa-kaori.livejournal.com]

You made me craving for their duet more!!! ;~~~;
They REAAALLY SHOULD have a duet! I got shivers run down my spine just by listening to their duet part in Love is Sweet. I bet I'd cry if they can really have a duet. Imagining their beautiful voices blending together.... /dies

I really love this short story! <3 <3 <3
The amount of QMi's affection can be felt in each and every line. QMi. My world. <3

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

I'm craving for one, too, like ...badly. haha whenever they as much as sing after one another I'm getting all happy so having an actual duet would be something out of this world!

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you liked it! :)

[plastictear.livejournal.com]

I think this just melted me into a puddle of goo with it's loveliness ;___; ♥ I'm almost grinning as wide as only Mimi can and and and just ♥ Qmi was born to be written all sappy and romantic and swoon-worthy.

GDI, now I feel like writing more Qmi and I just finished one with over 3000 words like half an hour ago XD

Also, if Qmi ever made a duet like this, I would die and then wake up from the dead just to hear and see it over again. The metal images are making me all disorientated XD Oh Qmi, the things you do to me...

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

Aw grinning is good, definitely! And those two make it so easy for me. And for everyone else really. My Chinese friend even said he thinks there's something going on between those two XD yes I forced him to watch SJ stuff with me! 8D

The more QMi the better the whole world is XD

Me too, me too! I would absolutely love and adore the duet if they make one. It'd make my life complete ;____; And thank you for reading! ♥

[plastictear.livejournal.com]

It is, even Mimi does it so it must be good XD It's just so clear, anyone can see it XD forcing people watch SJ/K-pop videos is win 8D or then not, one of my friends threatened to strangle me if I don't stop talking about Korea XD

Never have I heard truer words XD I'm probably gonna post it soon, once I've read it through and correct any typos 8D It's the long awaited p0rn fic with boots in it XD I hope it's not too fail.

We can only hope, right? ;___; No problem, you couldn't have stopped me from reading it even if you wanted to XD

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

haha although I doubt anyone could be quite as smiley as Mimi is. He is a special case XD haha my gosh you should've seen us yesterday. I literally squeaked like every time Zhou Mi was on screen and my friend was laughing his ass off XD

Aw I'll check it out then, definitely :) Right now I'm trying to salvage my mood. It was good until it went down the drain. Pah.

haha I take that as a compliment! XD And yes we can only hope ;__; maybe we once get lucky.

[plastictear.livejournal.com]

That's true. He's quite unique XD Haha, poor him XD Sounds a lot like me when I show videos/photos to my friends/little brother and they couldn't care less but I'm all like "OHMYGODDD DID YOU SEE THAT" XD

Thanks! Don't get your hopes up, though :'D Hmm, what happened to your mood? :/

You should, at least it was meant that way XD We should send them a mountain of letters, begging them to do it. Zhou Mi knows English and I know a bit of Korean, so we would totally get our point through.

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

OH SHUSH >_____>;

[imxaxreader.livejournal.com]

DON'T DISTRACT ME. I AM TRYING TO READ THE WONDERFUL THAT IS YOUR QMI FIC AND TRYING TO BE COHERENT AT THE SAME TIME TO COMPOSE A VERY NICE COMMENT AFTER.

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

BUT I AM BORED. I NEED DISTRACTIONS D:

ILU♥

[imxaxreader.livejournal.com]

i am trying to give you a wonderful comment for such a wonderful fic, but sobs i'm so terribly incoherent rn because this is just too beautiful and heartwarming and jdhfnkshgks. i can just picture everything in my mind while i was reading this, the bright lights, kyu standing on stage like he belongs there, like that is just the place utterly right for him, the loud cheers and then mimi coming up and joining him as his voice intertwines just perfectly with kyu's. HFDIHAWFIA NOW I'M CRAVING FOR A QMI DUET. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. EXCEPT THAT IT'S PROBABLY NOT, BECAUSE APPARENTLY MY SUBCONSCIOUS HAS BEEN DESIRING FOR THAT FOR A LONG TIME NOW.

You look him straight in the eye when you reach the chorus and when he reaches out for you, you don’t even try to pull back. You are in this together and you want to show it. STEALING THIS LINE AND CARVING IT IN MY HEART FOREVERRR. =))))))))

JUST. OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, UNNIE. ♥♥

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it's a gift or a curse XD I CAN'T WRITE LONG FICS. But if the short ones have most of the needed things in them... yeah x)

I AM CRAVING FOR A QMI DUET TOO. IT'S ONLY FAIR OTHERS CRAVE FOR IT TOO! ahdiohlkghknss I'm so happy you liked it ;____;♥ I literally woke up with this in mind and I hoped it was at least semi-coherent XD

♥♥♥ Thank youuuuu~

[dos-princess.livejournal.com]

sweet flow fic...love it!!

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :)

[enchantedplushy.livejournal.com]

WHY SO ADORABLE S;KJV'HVDG? ;A; My keyboard is not happy about the amount of times I keysmash when it comes to your amazing fics darn it! I've been wanting a duet from these two since forever...SME should stop being such cockblockers and let us have it. Pretty sure the world would explode into rainbows and sparkly unicorn dust if that ever happened! ♥

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

Aw your keyboard might not be happy but I appreciate it anyway! ;__;♥ A duet would be so, so amazing and I think hearing that would kill me (in a good way). I want to see that sparkly rainbow explosion!

Thanks for reading! ♥

LMAO!I saw this fic has more than 100 comments so I tried to read. It’s not special at all. I wonder why and I just know you actually don’t have many readers, this page is full of chat chit. hahahah

[fonulyn.livejournal.com]

Chit chat is fun! You should try it sometime. And counting comments is rarely a good way to find quality fic.
