After an entire night of reckless, exhausting, wonderful sex, Mr. and Mrs. Todd, better known as Sweeney and Nellie, lay together in their bed. Nellie's head rests on Sweeney's strong, bare chest, and his muscled arm lies across her abdomen, holding her close to him. He places a gentle kiss on the top of her head, smiling, and she nuzzles his neck. They are both covered in sweat and still breathing heavily; though they had both come down from their orgasmic highs over fifteen minutes ago, and are simply basking in their individual afterglows, they still feel the groundbreaking results of their recent relations. Nellie pleasantly sighs his name, to which he brushes a red curl out of her face and looks down into her eyes. Through the open window above their bed, a cold breeze floats in and raises the hairs on the back of her neck. She shivers and snuggles closer to him under their thick duvet. Also through the window, the first mentions of morning are breaking into the room, onto their faces. She smiles and her eyes slide shut. Then she begins to sing softly.
"All those days, watching from the windows, all those years, outside looking in. All that time, never even knowing just how blind I've been." He watches her with an amused expression as she continues, "Now, I'm here, blinking in the starlight. Now I'm here, suddenly, I see. Laying here, it's all so clear, I'm where I'm meant to be." He smiles, and she opens her eyes to look at him. "And at last, I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted. And at last I see the light, and it's like the sky is new. And it's warm, and real, and bright. And the world has somehow shifted. All at once, everything looks different, now that I see you."
He smiles again and kisses her forehead before answering, "All those days, chasing down a daydream." She giggles. "All those years, living in a blur. All that time, never truly seeing things the way they were. Now, she's here, shining in the starlight. Now, she's here, suddenly, I know." She blushes. "If she's here, it's crystal clear, I'm where I'm meant to go."
Their eyes meet, and they sing in unison. "And at last, I see the light."
"And it's like the fog has lifted," he sings.
"And at last, I see the light," they croon.
"And it's like the sky is new," she choruses.
Then they sing, in perfect harmony, "And it's warm, and real, and bright. And the world has somehow shifted. All at once, everything is different, now that I see you."
Their lips meet gently, and they pull apart to sing the last line, "Now that I see you."

Awh :] I know that was short, and probably pretty weird, but I thought it was sweet. I was watching Tangled (yes, I still watch Disney movies) and I couldn't resist. I hope you liked it!
