Hey Elle! I hope you're doing well! And the lines rhymed 😅. Okay I'm gonna write now.

In a school function, your best friend decides to direct a play about Orpheus and Eurydice. And guess who's going to play the part of Eurydice? Yes, you.

You get a bit confused. A tiny little bit of shyness bubbling inside you, but not for that. Are you going to play dead through the entire play? Your best friend assured you that they're going to add a few scenes where Orpheus reminisces about the time he had with Eurydice. And at the end, he's going to get together with his lover, in the underworld. So, no. You won't have to play dead the entire time.

Okay. Then who's going to play as Orpheus?

None other than Azumane Asahi.

Of course they decided to add him... after all, they knew about the little crush you had on him since he helped you pick a book from the top shelf in the library. They shook their head, "Well, that's not the only reason. I heard he can sing really well." (You can't tell me otherwise!)

Anyways, your best friend manages to make him come and rehearse. He seems really nervous. Fumbling with the lines, sweating, stuttering... his friends and teammates are there to cheer him up. But he got more nervous. Then you decide to help a little.

"Just forget for a while that you're Asahi. Just imagine, that you're Orpheus. You are determined to get your Eurydice back from the underworld."

"H-how?" He nervously asks. You gently hold his hand and say, "Close your eyes." He does. You softly say, "Now forget that we are in an auditorium, rehearsing for a play. Imagine that, it's a forest where your wedding is being held. Forget that I'm Y/n. Just think that I'm your Eurydice. All dolled up to be with you forever. I'm Eurydice, for whom you're determined to go to the underworld and bring me back."

He tightly holds your hand. Not too much, just the perfect amount of tight. He slowly opens his eyes. There is a softness, that wasn't there before... that makes your breath hitch a little.

"I think I can do it now." He says, with a smile.

The rehearsal goes well. His teammates are amazed by how well he was acting... and singing. You were doing your best too.

But it was making you feel too real. You truly start to believe that you're Eurydice. Your Orpheus, Asahi, is mourning your death. He's hell bent on bringing you back to the earth. He will do anything to be with you.

Your crush turned into something more, something serious. And you're not sure if you're ever going to break it to him. But can you suppress it? Whenever he's around, your heartbeat go erratic. His touches, his words, his melodies... all seems so real, so true. But deep down you know, those are Orpheus's words, not his. But you can hope, right?

The day of the function arrives. You are in the backstage, getting your makeup and hair done. Asahi was getting ready nearby. You look at his reflection on the mirror in front of you. When this is done, you both will go back to your separate ways. Maybe you won't be able to see him again...

You swallow the lump in your throat. This is not the time. Asahi looks at you and smiles. You smile back.

It's show time!

(I saw the story on Ted Ed's video. And it seemed better than the wikipedia's version... at least to me.)

it’s nearly the end of the play, just a few more minutes, asahi thinks to himself. the stage lights are dim, the audience a blurry haze in front of him, trying to keep that determined look on his features as he continued walking forward.

your character was meant to be following him, out of the underworld, away from its darkness. it brings him a certain kind of relief, knowing that you’re right behind him, just a few feet away.

the stage light slowly shines from up above him, a look of desperation slowly makes its way to his face — just like he practiced. and he turns to find you, shocked. tears threatened to spill from your eyes as a gasp escaped your lips.

asahi’s heart beats louder than it ever has, wanting nothing more than to run to you and wipe the tears that stained your cheeks. but he has to stay rooted in his place, just like all the times you’ve practiced this scene. but his heart aches, clenching in his chest, and he’s unsure if it’s him or orpheus feeling it. asahi’s mouth parts, and he almost says your name.

“orpheus!” you cried out, watching as the light above your head slowly dim, implyling your return to the underworld, bringing him back to the play.

the audience holds their breath as asahi falls to his knees, voice quiet as it broke by the final syllable, “eurydice.”

the stage is engulfed in darkness, signaling the play’s end.

and maybe it’s all those weeks he spent in your company, looking into your eyes as he spoke words of affection, hearing you sweetly sing the most romantic love songs for hours on end. it could be the way you squeezed his hand when you took your bows, the look of pride that crossed your features, the way you threw your arms around him the second you stepped backstage. he’s in love with you, he always has been. probably why he accepted the role in the first place.

“i’m in love with you.”
