oo6 | [accidental voice] | can't tell you anything

[ Not surprisingly at all, by now, some singing makes its way out over the tablets... it's not the best singing ever, but hey, he's decent. Shane sounds harried and a little nervous as he sings this, because dammit, he doesn't want to, but it's... therapeutic? Good thing he's alone... cough.]

What if I told you you were appetizing
... I mean, amazing.
What if I told you that I hunger for your...
... err, conversation.
What if I told you if I didn't know you,
I would attack you... with hugs,
but because it would be a mistake, I can't tell you anything.

What if I told you you seem so delicious
... ly fantastical?
What if I told you that I was longing to chew...
... se you as my friend?
What if I told you I wanted to taste your...
... famous lasagna for lunch,
but because it would be a mistake
I really can't tell you anything.

This song has nothing to do with me or how I feel,
or how much I want to chase you down an alley

Because friends do that sometimes, I mean... I...

Oh, god.

What if I told you I'm really sorry?
Because I... really am
What if I told you I'm just stupid and young?
Because I really am
What if I told you I'm working harder
and I think it's starting to help

I don't wanna make a mistake
I'm sorry I look at you like you're steak
But I'm more afraid to get staked so I won't tell you
I can't tell you --

Is this thing -- oh, my g --

I just... told... you... everything.

... Ugh.

(( AND HERE IS THE SONG, I wrote and recorded it myself after getting smacked in the face with it without warning. ENJOY.))

Here, have a Levi getting off his lazy butt to come and sweep into the room, tugging Shane to his feet and going with the urge to sing.

"Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand.
When I say that something,
I want to hold your hand."

Yes, he's singing in a cheesy, dorky way, but he doesn't care. It's a classic.

Shane laughs, bemused and trying to shake away his grumpy embarrassment at his own song.

"You are in a scary good mood." Smirk, poke. "What've they been feeding you at Fangtasia?"

Levi isn't finished, apparently, because he has to speak in-between verses of the song, swaying the both of them to the rhythm.

"Oh please, say to me,
you'll let me be your man--
You say that as if I'm never in a good mood--
And please, say to me,
you'll let me hold your hand--
And secondly, they've been feeding me lovely blood, it tastes wonderful. You should try it, babe, I think you'd enjoy it."

"So I guess you like it there?" Shane leans a little on Levi, thoughtfully.

Levi tests it a little, opening his mouth, and when no singing comes out, he grins a bit, supporting Shane and stroking his head lightly.

"I do," Levi replies, smoothing back Shane's hair and kissing his forehead. "I'm being paid to dress up and wear makeup. It's a dream come true."

He snickers a little, glancing up at Levi. "Lucky you. That's not even working."

Shane sighs. "I should probably find something to do with myself, huh? Since you're out being sexy for cash, I got nothing."

Levi laughs. It's true, it really isn't working, but if it brings in an extra amount of money, well. That's always nice, especially since Levi actually has to pay for his food. Not fair.

"Mmm, if you can find something you'd like to do, you should," Levi tells Shane, letting his arms rest gently around Shane's waist. "You could come work at Fangtasia with me."

That's mostly a joke. Mostly.

Shane snorts at the suggestion, unable to imagine himself sporting the kind of work-outfit as Levi. Sometimes it amazes him, how opposite they are.

"And embarrass myself more?" He shrugs against Levi, frowning a little. "I don't know what I wanna do."
