[He just makes a small sound of frustration. He knows what she's getting at it, but it's frustrating all the same. How much more do they have to do to play this farce until they can leave? He takes her hand into his, his eyes clear in how he feels. But when he opens his mouth—]
You know I want you.
[—he stiffens and stares at her wide-eyed as his voice just changed slightly in pitch and tone, a musical lilt to it. Those weren't even the words he was thinking about saying?? And again he opens his mouth for only another line to come out instead:]
It's not a secret I try to hide...?
[What is happening—
"Ah yes, don't forget you have a musical number!"
The words from the script flash through his mind and if he could he would swear out loud right now, but he has a feeling that would come out in song instead. So instead he just internally swears at the playwright hiding in the moon, his hand tightening its grip on Tifa's.
Seeing her stunned face, Eustace knows she's just as confused, but he can't even explain. He can only go with it. So he once again looks at her, almost pleading with frustration, "Just wait and go along with it."]
I know you want me So don't keep saying our hands are tied.
[...Funny how these words seem to fit their situation almost to a T. It's enough to make him just mentally say, "Fuck it," and continue on. Maybe Romeo's essence is giving him a nudge as well. So his expression hardens a bit, as if the words he's singing are ones he would say in a normal conversation, and the energy picks up as music somehow begins to fill the room despite there being no obvious source for it.]
You claim it's not in the cards And fate is pulling you miles away And out of reach from me.
But you're here in my heart—
[His other hand reaches out to touch her cheek again before he takes a step back, pulling her as if trying to take her away with him.]
So who can stop me if I decide That you're my destiny?

So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
