A/N; Part 3 to Eric and daliah's story, their beginning (meeting in a royal school)

For so long the melody that was soothing and almost perfect never needed more in her mind, that was until she met him. Even just the small glimpse of his smile set her tune into a completely different rhythm, unexpectedly growing into a new song entirely. Every stolen glance and sneak of his smile brought butterflies and a resounding echo to her heart, growing more fast-paced the closer he got.

Daliah had the perfect song and somehow until she met him it had unknowingly been incomplete, now it was like a tree growing so many new branches it was hard to find the right sound. And yet when her eyes met him, those deep sapphire eyes it was as if the song had wanted to leave her lips in an instant.

"La la la la, lalalalalala...lalala lalala la la laaa..."

"That's a beautiful song, what's it called?"

Daliah was shocked when Eric appeared in front of her, she had hidden by the tree to sing the song without prying ears and yet the one person she was waiting to sing to had unintentionally heard her already, she only managed to turn her face away shyly and clutch the notepad closer to her chest. "I-It's not ready yet..."

He only smiled, gosh it made her heart race, and sat beside her.

"As soon as it's ready I wanna hear it! You're Daliah right?"

"Yes."

"My name's Eric, we didn't actually get to talk in class before but I've heard your music, it's wonderful."

Daliah felt her cheeks grow warm as she thanked him and a comfortable silence fell over them like a sleeping spell, yet her heart was restless and as she closed her eyes she started to feel the music inside well up, bubbling. The song bursting to come out and with a soft breath, she started singing what would become their song.
