Gundam Seiyuu Part 8
I sat down in the thick cushioned seat next to Quatre and peered around the stadium theater. All around us people were yelling to each other, selling shirts and merchandise, fangirls were squealing and people were rushing to their seats. Our seats were only a few rows back from the front and I knew I was going to have a perfect view of something I just couldn't believe.
I'd agreed to go with Quatre to the concert and I still couldn't believe this was real. Quatre sat next to me in a Heero Yuy tee shirt, with what looked like an album logo on the front and a list of songs and concert locations on the back. And in front of me sat the stage, shrouded in a thick black concert. I still couldn't believe that Heero was going to be the one on that stage dancing and singing. He was so...quiet at the recording sessions for the show; I just couldn't see him singing on stage, much less dancing. Tonight was certainly going to be an experience.
I glanced down at my watch, and as if on cue, the lights started to fade out. The theater quieted quickly and people took their seats, ready to watch. I glanced at Quatre and found she was nearly shaking with excitement, I couldn't help but grin. I settled into my seat comfortably and waited as the large room faded into complete darkness.
"Who do you think the special guest will be?" I asked Quatre quietly.
Quatre gave a small laugh and I knew she was smiling even though I could barely see her in the darkness. "I'm sure we'll find out soon."
Music started from the stage and I squinted... I could just barley make out that the curtain was raising, it was still too dark to see anything. Lights flashed with the music from a synthesizer, perfectly in beat. As the tune picked up speed to open the song the stage exploded with light and Heero stood as the only one on the stage. But... that couldn't have been Heero!
My mouth dropped open and I just stared. The man standing on stage looked nothing like the guy who stood next to me during recording sessions. He was dressed head to toe in a skin-tight leather outfit. It didn't resemble the flight suit; instead it was just plain shiny leather with small straps wrapped around his arms and ankles. The sight was amazing, and completely unbelievable. His hair was even more unruly then normal, but this time it was styled that way on purpose and even though we were sitting a ways back from the stage I could make out his bright blue eyes which contrasted against his pale skin. I just sat there, mouth agape in wonder. THAT was Heero Yuy?!
Heero: Oh oh oh!
His voice echoed across the stadium as the music and the audience erupted. Now that all the lights were on and the show had completely started another curtain opened to reveal a band behind him, dressed in equally body-curve-emphasizing outfits. They began a kind of cheer behind him as he grinned happily at the audience.
Band: Fire! Fire! Fire!
Band: Nights of Fire!
The music picked up and Heero began to move where he stood on the stage, but he was dancing yet. Behind him another figure rushed out on to stage and the crowd cheered even louder, many jumping out of their seats. This apparently was the special guest. Beside me Quatre shot up from her seat and cheered as the new person took his place next to Heero.
Band: Nights of Fire!
"Who?" My voice was lost in the sheer cheering and I stood up just so I could see over the people in front of me. That's when I saw who it was and once again sent into shock, but not as much this time.
Band: Fire!
It was Milliardo Peacecraft! His blond hair cascaded down his shoulders onto a skin-tight white shirt, which hugged his chest tightly. The shirt led down to skin-tight snakeskin patterned pants that glimmered in the bright light from the stage. It was a strange effect seeing him dressed completely in white next to Heero in complete black but it fit perfectly and as the song official started their voices fit together so perfectly it was almost as if only one person was singing.
Both: Welcome to the ground below
Welcome to the famous disco night
Come on lady come and go
Come on lady get me once all right
Not the danger
Not the blackest strange
The two split off and moved around the stage, dancing and moving the music as the crowd continued to cheer. Behind them the bad took up a small chorus.
Heero: Rock it
Band: Rock it
Milliardo: Rock it
Band: Rock it
Both: Up to my door
Milliardo: Make my name now
Heero: Speak it if you know how
Both: Fly to me
Band: Get ready for the...
Both: Nights of fire
Heero: You better better say
You better better forgive the play it to play
Both: Night of fire
Milliardo: Come over over me
Come over over the top
Both: You never be here
Night of fire
Heero: You better better say
You better better forgive the play to play
Both: Night of fire
Milliardo: Come over over me
Come over over the top
Both and Band: You are the night of fire
Heero: You are the night of fire
Welcome to my rocky show
Welcome to the fire of the night
Come baby let it go
Come on baby let me stick you tight
Not the danger
Not the blackest stranger
Milliardo: Rock it
Band: Rock it
Milliardo: Rock it
Band: Rock it
Heero: On up to my door
Make my name now
Speak it if you know how
Fly to me
Get ready for the
All: Nights of fire
Heero: You better better say
You better better forgive the play it to play
All: Night of fire
Heero: Come over over me
Come over over the top
You never be here
All: Night of fire
Heero: You better better say
You better better forgive the play to play
All: Night of fire
Heero: Come over over me
Come over over the top
Both: You are the night of fire
Heero: You are the night of fire
The two moved back toward the bad and moved among them as they played a short solo.
Heero: You better better say
Both: Play it to play
Milliardo: Come over over me
You never be here
Both: Night of fire
Heero: You better better forgive
Both: Night of fire
Milliardo: Come over over the top
Both: You are the night of fire
Lights flashed all around and the two met back at the front of stage, this time dancing together. The crowd erupted even louder as they danced this time, making suggestive moves toward each other.
Band: Rock it, rock it
It sudden occurred to me that there was definitely a double meaning for this song. Night of fire? Naw, it was completely innocent. I couldn't help but laugh and was amazed when I discovered that for the longest time I had been cheering with the crowd and not even realizing it.
Heero: Welcome to the ground below
Welcome to the famous disco night
Come on lady come and go
Come on lady give me once all right
Not the danger
Not the blackest stranger
Both: Rock it
Band: Rock it
Both: Rock it
Band: Rock it
Heero: Up to my door
Both: Make my name now
Speak it if you know how
Fly to me
Get ready for the
All: Nights of fire
Heero: You are the night of fire
All: Night of fire
Heero: Oh oh oh oh!
Milliardo: You are the night of fire
Heero: Oh oh oh oh!
The song ended with the lights fading out as the music and voices followed suit. Once again we were all bathed in darkness, but this time there was no silence. The entire place was screaming and cheering. I yelled with them as the music and voices from stage echoed around in the air. My ears rang almost painfully but it was worth the pain. I'd never been to such a loud and charged concert. And if the first song was any indication I knew I was going to have one of the best times of my life tonight.
The curtains raised again and Heero and Milliardo raced out for the next song. Apparently they were going to perform together for the rest of the concert, which was fine by me. As I watched them move through the rest of the songs I found my eyes locked. The simple sight of seeing Heero on stage acting completely different from the Heero I knew was enough to keep me watching but him dressed in that leather and the lights and the sweat that began to bead on his face... and he smiled! He actually smiled during the songs, seeming genuinely enjoying himself.
I felt my face grow red with slight embarrassment. Was I really watching Heero in the way I thought I was? Yep, my eyes were locked right on that skintight outfit and there was no denying it. The strangest thing had happened and I couldn't brush it to the side this time by saying I'd read too much fanfiction. It had happened. The impossible had happened.
I actually had to admit to myself that I was in love with Heero Yuy.
