So I'm obsessed with under the Dome, or more specifically Joe/Norrie so I thought I'd write this. "The Way You Look Tonight" is by the amazing Frank Sinatra. Thanks for reading. Sorry for all of the fluff.. Let me know what you think!
After a night of sleeping in Big Jim's house, Norrie learned one thing. The couch was not a comfortable place to sleep at all. It was 2:49am according to her phone, which she was currently using to light her path to the kitchen. The room was way too hot and Norrie had resorted to sleeping in her flowery pink panties and one of Joe's old, tattered t-shirts. She poured herself a glass of water and gulped down some of it before turning around, seeing her sleeping boyfriend stumbling into the kitchen.
"Nor?" Joe mumbled, still half asleep.
"Yeah, it's only me. C'mon, let's go back to bed."
"Mm.." he moaned, rubbing at his eyes before reaching his arms out to find the girl in front of him, which only resulted in him accidentally knocking his hand into the radio, switching it on.
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
"Frank Sinatra? I can't believe Phil is playing this!" Norrie laughed as her sleepy boyfriend took her hand and pulled her into him, resting his hand on her hip and gently swaying her. "Joe, I'm not dancing with you to 'The Way You Look Tonight'. That's too sappy, even for you!"
"There is nothing for me but to love you, and the way you look tonight." Joe gently sings into her ear and Norrie gasps softly, her heart speeding up. She rests her head on Joe's shoulder as he slowly dances her around the kitchen, the only light coming from the moon high in the sky, miles above the dome, and the tiny radio on the table.
"Lovely, never ever change. Keep that breathless charm. Won't you please arrange it? Cause I love you; just the way you look, tonight." Norrie smiles up at Joe as he sings the last words to her, his face completely serious as she laughs into his neck.
He takes her hand and twirls her around in a circle for the big finale, before leaning in to kiss her softly. Norrie melts into the kiss, but can't seem to stop smiling for more than a second, making it difficult for the kiss to last very long. "I can't believe you just did that.." she laughs, running a hand through his hair.
"You tell nobody!" Joe jokes, smiling down at his girlfriend before taking her hand and leading her back to the living room.
"Cross my heart and hope to die." Norrie says mockingly, before Joe leans in for another kiss.
"Now, go to sleep, Nor." He mumbles, draping her blanket over her before climbing into his sleeping bag on the floor.
Norrie falls asleep with a small smile on her face, remembering to tease Joe about this with every opportunity she gets.
