A/N: So this is a little one-shot I came up with when I cam across a new song. Later found it on YouTube, and kept listening to it till I was done writing. The song was "Heartbeat" by AMBER & LUNA. Let me know what you think. ^_^
I heard it loud and clear as soon as I woke up. A heartbeat. That little thing let me know that I was not alone. I didn't want to open my eyes to see who it could be. For at that moment I didn't care. The only thing that mattered is that I heard it, the other person's heartbeat. To others it may not seem like a big deal, but to me it was. It told me that I was not alone.…
I… was not alone.
After so long of being by myself, there was someone else that I could count on. Someone who would not leave me. At least at that moment, when I was most vulnerable.
"I am not alone" I said it out loud, without thinking. I was answered by a very distinctive chuckle. He kissed my forehead and said in a voice still heavy from sleep, "For as long as you want me, I will never leave you."
The next thing I knew, his arms were wrapped around me, holding me tight. One was wrapped around my waist, pulling me in closer to him. While the other was behind my head, running his fingers through my hair. In the next moment, he was kissing my forehead again, and wiping away tears I hadn't noticed were falling.
"I will never leave you Blondie." He chuckled again. "No matter what happens, I will always be there for you, I will always find my way back to you. I will be whatever you want me to be." He took a deep shaky breath. "And if there ever comes a time when I have to leave your side, I will tell you. Face to face, not through a note."
I lifted my head up, resting my chin on his chest, and looking into his stormy grey eyes. We stayed that way for a few minutes, then I smiled one of the smiles that earned me the nickname "light of fairy tale." I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and said in whisper just loud enough for him to hear "Thank you Lauxs."
I opened my eyes, smiled my smile. Then laid my head back on his chest to listen to the one thing I craved to hear the most.
A heartbeat.
