Just a oneshot that sprang into being when I heard the song Everytime We Touch on the radio. R+R Please.
Dancing In The Dark
For the life of her Nynaeve could not remember where she had heard the song that flitted through her head. Lightly stepping over the early fallen leaves she hums a snatch of the tune and without realizing it, weaves flows that bring the song to life.
I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me. I
still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you It's hard to survive.
In the darkness by the light of the stars she slips off her slippers and begins to dance with thoughts of a blue eyed Warder in her mind. Green dress patterned with gold leaves floats through the air as she twirls. Without realizing it her mouth opens and she begins to sing the words to a song she can't remember.
Cause everytime we touch,
I get this feeling and everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I wan't this to last, need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch,
I feel the static and everytime we kiss i reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so,
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
The only sign of being startled is the slight widening of blue eyes as a voice and a melody drift to him on a night breeze. Following the sound he comes to a pause, half-hidden by a tall oak tree.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times we've been through them all,
you make me rise when i fall.
Lan can feel the emotion laced through the words. His breath catches as time seems to pause for one sweet moment and Nynaeve is framed in the starlight, caught in mid-twirl with a bliss filled expression on her face. A heavy gold signet ring on a light gold chain sparkles in the air, shining in its glory. Knowing that she kept it a small ember deep within him sparks to a small candle sized flame.
Cause everytime we touch,
I get this feeling and everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I wan't this to last, need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch,
I feel the static and everytime we kiss i reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so,
I can't let you go. Want you in my life.
She can feel his eyes on her but it does not seem to register in her brain, and besides she is too caught up in the moment to care.
Cause everytime we touch,
I get this feeling and everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I wan't this to last, need you by my side.
Her voice fades and the weaves are unwoven leaving the tiny glade in silence. Standing in the middle with her head tilted skyward dreams, memories, fantasies, fortellings flash through her mind only to be forgotten a moment later.
Blue eyes.
Blue eyes on a river drenched man with a purple bruise on the side of his face.
Blue eyes on a stony face covered with a slight smile with seven towers highlighted in the distance.
Blue eyes gazing out at her, half-lidded and half-hidden behind an oak tree. Before she realizes it she has placed her hand in his and her is drawing her back into the darkness. Even beyond the light a small flame dances in his eyes and words are unneeded.
