TITLE: Stuck In The Moment
Rating: M
Summary: Adrian Ivashkov becomes melancholy after hearing a song that reminded him of Rose Hathaway. Between Frostbite and Shadow Kiss. Rated M for language.
Pairing: AdrianxRose
Type: One-shot songfic
Author's Note: The song I used is Justin Bieber's 'Stuck in the Moment'. At first I tried DimitrixRose. It finally clicked for AdrianxRose. Hope nobody will hate the fanfic because of the chosen song. I tried to make the fanfic look really crazy, just like Adrian's personality. Hell, I was pretty much crazy when I wrote this. LOL.
Adrian's POV
STUCK IN THE MOMENT
After a tiring educational lesson with Lissa, I went straight to my room to drink some vodka. Damn, I expected to see Rose, but It looks like she's busy practicing with Guardian Belikov.
"Pfft. Belikov." I sneered.
I walked over to the couch and turned o the radio. A rare thing for me, but hey, I gotta keep Spirit's 'madness' at bay.
With you
With you
I wish we had another time.
I wish we had another place.
I sighed. Now this is just great. I sighed again and closed my eyes. I let myself feel.
Now Romeo and Juliet
Bet they never felt the way we felt.
I remembered the first time I saw Rose in the ski lodge. I only wanted to smoke outside. I hadn't expected to see an angel. An angel covered with sweat. Yum.
I opened my eyes.
"Damn Adrian. Stop fantasizing." I whispered to myself.
I immediately knew Rose was attracted to Dimitri when I overheard their conversation. I continued listening to the song.
Bonnie and Clyde
Never had to hide like we do, we do.
Well, we weren't exactly hiding. I laughed. Rose wasn't attracted to me. Maybe, at least, not yet.
You and I, both know it can't work
It's all fun and games
'Till someone gets hurt
And I don't, I won't
Let that be you.
Truth be told, when I first saw her, I wanted to kiss her senseless and explore that amazing body of hers. Flirting with her is fun. She doesn't always give me the response I expect. But as time progressed, my feelings for her… changed.
I rarely fought with myself like this. I guess I like her now. Maybe I even love her a little. More than just getting hot and sweaty with her. Damn, Belikov's a lucky man.
Now you don't wanna let go
And I don't wanna let you know
That there might be something real between us two.
Who knew?
Deep down inside me, I know Rose likes me too. Scratch that. Will like me too. If only she'd open her eyes more. Get to see other guys. Guys like me. If she'd only do more than stare at Dimitri. Maybe we can work it out between us.
Now we don't wanna fall but
We're tripping in our hearts
And it's reckless and clumsy
Cause I know you can't love me.
Hey.
Rose and I are alike in some ways. We both love a person who might not exactly be available. Hell, I can't think straight anymore.
I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
But everything we have is stuck in the moment.
If only I could turn back time. I wish I met her first. Maybe things would turn out differently. Maybe she'd fall in love with me instead of Dimitri.
And there's nothing my heart can do (can do)
To fight with time and space 'coz
I'm still stuck in the moment with you.
Taking another sip from the vodka bottle, I realized it was already empty. Wobbling, I rose from the couch and went back to the counter to get another bottle. I corked it open and took a sip. I went back to sit on the couch.
See like Adam and Eve
Tragedy was our destiny.
Like Sonny and Cher
I don't care,
I got you baby.
Yeah, I thought as I took another sip from the bottle. These 'hindrances' I'm experiencing is just a piece of cake. Crazy or not, I ain't giving Rose up. Once Belikov is gone, I'll make her mine. I took another gulp.
See we both
Fightin' every inch of our fiber
Cause ain't no way
It's gonna end right but
We are both too foolish to stop.
Visiting her every night in her dreams makes me feel kinda satisfied. I mean I get to set the background and dress her in different clothes. She has got a lot of protection too. Lissa's chotki and her mother's nazar. I laughed. Even in dreams, she still has that feisty attitude.
Now you don't wanna let go
And I don't wanna let you know
That there might be something real between us two.
Who knew?
Now we don't wanna fall but
We're tripping in our hearts
And it's reckless and clumsy
Cause I know you can't love me.
Hey.
Yeah, I know Rose can't love me. But I'll make her see reason. I'll make her see that Dimitri isn't as great as he seems. I choked on my drink. Apparently, after almost two bottles of vodka, I'm still sober. Weird. I continued listening as I made my way to the bed.
I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
But everything we have is stuck in the moment.
And there's nothing my heart can do (can do)
To fight with time and space 'coz
I'm still stuck in the moment with you.
As I sat on the bed, I chugged the remaining contents of the bottle and set it down on the bedside table. I lay on the silk bed sheets. I made myself comfortable.

Just because this cold, cold world saying we can't be
Baby we both have the right to disagree
And I ain't with it.
Rose is a dhampir. I'm a Royal Moroi. Dhampirs and Moroi hooking up with each other is considered dirty. With most male Moroi leaving the female dhampirs after 'cheap sex'. But I won't be like that. Not with Rose.
And I don't wanna be so old and gray
Reminiscing 'bout these better days.
But convintious telling us to let go
So we'll never know.
I closed my eyes. Hopefully, I'd fall asleep now. To numb the pain and the craziness.
I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
Cause everything we did
And everything we have is stuck in the moment.
I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place (oh no no)
But everything we have is stuck in the moment.
And there's nothing my heart can do (can do)
To fight with time and space 'coz (time and space)
I'm still stuck in the moment with you.
The song finished and I welcomed the peaceful feeling that was slowly creeping to my mind.
