Chapter 12 - Shattered hopes

Contest day

Nobitas pov:

I was sitting in back room nervously, the host was calling each contest on stage as every sang and left.. There were only 4 contestants left, I was the last one. I never went on stage, I always had stage fear. I heard a sweet, calm voice, "nobita ? Are you alright?" When I looked up I saw dekisugi looking at me with love in his eyes. "Im nervous" I said , he hugged me gently , "it's alright,I know you have stage fear" His voice gentle as he continued, "You can look at me while singing, think like I'm the only one there, now ill get going,I'm sitting in second row" With that he hugged me and left. I felt confident. After some time the host announced my name, as I went on stage and he mic , I could feel everyone's graze on me. But then I remembered dekisugi words, 'You can look at me while singing, think like I'm the only one there' I searched second row with my eyes and saw him. He was looking at me with love. The host started background music as I started to sing looking at him, "I wanna be your vacuum cleaner

Breathing in your dust~~" Looking at him.

As I sang for rest of the song, I kept looking at him, my whole world bluring, the only one who was clear was him. As the song ended, everyone claped as I came to my whole senses. After some minutes, the host announced, "so the one who won the first prize is....Nobita nobi! " Everyone claped. I walked up on stage to get my trophy. Everyone was congratulating me. When everyone went, dekisugi pulled me into a classroom and kissed me softly. We were completely lost in that movement, we heard that someone was watching us. Dekisugi went to see who was watching, but no one was there.

Shizuka pov:

I went to backstage to comfort nobita but there was someone already hugging him. I stood hiding outside door trying to see who was that guy. When suddenly, I felt hand on my shoulder, "Shizuka we are searching for you,let's go" I turned back to see my friend, Saka. I left. I went back to my seat, I was sitting behind dekisugi. As nobita came on stage, he seemed nervous, but when he saw it felt like, the whole world was bluring to him, the only one who was clear to him, was me.. As he sang, I could feel he was singing to me. When the host announced that nobita won, I was the one clapping loudly. I decided to confess him. When everyone was done congratulating him, I walked towards him but he was pulled by dekisugi in an empty classroom. I hid behind the door and saw him kissing nobita. Tears rolled down my face as I realized that the one who was nobita singing to was not me but dekisugi. My heart ached, I couldn't watch much, cause if I did I would break as I ran as fast as I can, crying.
