If I Could Melt Your Heart;
by Bria (orginally posted to fanfix.com under the name Jaina E Solo)
June 1 , 1998
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key
"Frozen" Madonna
Ray of Light, 1998
Han Solo had to get out of that stuffy little hut on Endor. He'd
had all of the Ewoks' cuteness he could take for the
moment. Han stepped out onto the bridge.
The sounds of the Endor forest rose up to greet him. Han could hear
the critters that lived in the forest...and human
voices.
Leia and Luke. Luke and Leia. Their voices were soft and whispered.
The closeness of his friend's bodies suggested
an intimacy that Han had wondered about since being rescued from the
carbonite at Jabba's Palace on Tatooine.
'Are they an item?' Han asked himself. Jealousy tore at
him. No, they couldn't be. Luke and Leia would've told him,
right?
He decided to interrupt them. By the time Han had reached the spot where they'd been speaking, Luke was gone.
"Hey, what's going on?" he asked Leia, concerned.
"Nothing, I just want to be alone for a little while." she answered.
Han went and sat down. "Nothing? C'mon. Tell me, what's going on?"
"I...I can't tell you?" Leia whispered.
Couldn't tell him? "Could you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?" Han asked angrily.
"I.....," she turned away.
"Ahh..." he said turning to walk away.
The Ice Princess had returned. If she wanted to be left alone, that was fine with him. Han walked away quickly, moving in great strides. Shortly, his mind began to protest.
What was he doing? He shouldn't be fighting with Leia...he loved her. Han's shocked mind realized. Now what to do with it? Han thought back to the only other time he'd been in love...Bria. What a woman! Until Bria, Han had never cared about a woman. When he'd met her, everything had fit together so well. And then she had left him to fight an addiction.
The last time Han and seen Bria had been on Ylesia. He and his smuggler friends had been helping out the Rebel Alliance. But Bria had betrayed him.
'If I ever see you again in this life, I'll shoot you on sight.'
Han had told Bria. Soon after that, Boba Fett had informed him
that Bria had died. All Han had felt was grief and regret... and it
could all happen again. He could lose Leia.
Han's mind snapped back to the present. He turned back and glanced at Leia. She looked so beautiful, bathed in the moonlight, like a princess. Heck, she was a princess. His princess...he hoped.
Han had to tell her how he felt. Tonight. It could not wait, not with the future so uncertain. He went back to her. "I'm sorry." Han told Leia.
"Hold me." Leia whispered, stepping towards him.
Han wrapped his arms around Leia and rubbed her back. He breathed in her scent-how he loved it! Han pressed his lips to the crown of her head. Then he lifted her face and stared intently into her eyes.
"Leia..." he began. "Are you and Luke...involved?"
Leia blinked with surprise. "Luke?"
Han nodded, his heart balancing on a wire.
"I love him as a dear friend, but no, we are not together." she told him. Han's spirit danced with joy. "Leia, I....I," he faltered. Telling other people how he felt was so difficult. "I love you."
Tears rolled down Leia's cheeks. "I meant what I said on Bespin, and on Tatooine. I love you too."
With that, Han's lips descended on hers. It seemed like her heart was
melting, along with his own. Han didn't need to know Leia's secret.
She loved him and that was what mattered. Tomorrow they would go
into battle, but at least they had told each other how they felt. And for
the moment, it was enough just to hold her.
