Songfic to "If You're Not the One" by Daniel Beningfield
I'm going to put the lyrics of the song in *…*
Two figures walk side by side parallel to a small river bathed in moonlight. They come to a small bridge that crosses over the river. Seto and Serenity cross over half way and lean on the railing, watching the moonlight dance on the calm, quiet river. An usually cold breeze blows by, causing Serenity to shiver. Being the perfect gentleman, Seto removes his navy trench coat and drapes it around her shoulders. He stands behind her and wraps his arms around her waist, trapping her in a loving embrace. Serenity looks up at him with a grateful smile and then takes one of his hands in hers.
*If you're not the one, then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one, then why does my hand fit yours, this way?
If you're not mine, then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine, would I have the strength to stand, at all?*
They hold one another in their gaze and smile silently. Seto leans down and starts kissing her, teasingly at first, but then more strongly and more demanding. They live for the moment with no care for the future. Wishing to keep this moment forever, so that Serenity could never leave Seto's arms to go away for the weekend. Seto would do anything, give anything for Serenity to spend the rest of her life with him.
*You never know what the future brings, but I know you're here with me now.
We'll make it through and I hope you're the one I share my life with.*
They had started dating a few years ago when Serenity had finally persuaded her brother to let them date. Right after he had given his consent and Serenity went to get ready, he had pulled Seto aside.
~Flashback~
"I swear, if you hurt my sister in anyway….if you dare to take her heart and break it into a million pieces, I will make you wish that you were never born." Joey growled.
"Calm down, Joey." Seto ordered in a calm voice that only made him more angry.
"I have no intention of breaking Serenity's heart. I love her as much as you do maybe more."
Joey growled angrily. He loved his little sister dearly, but there was a certain kind of love that a brother could not provide. Seto had hit home, and by looking straight into those cold, confident blue eyes, Joey could tell that he knew it.
"Just remember what I told you..." he warned as Serenity came back. Seto ignored Joey's gaze and offered his arm to Serenity and then they had gone out on their date.
~End Flashback~
Seto chuckled to himself as he recalled the memory. Joey knew that Seto Kaiba was not afraid of him, but it was cute how he tried to protect his sister the way he tried to protect Mokuba.
He laid back and stretched out on his bed. He hadn't realized how lonely he had been after Mokuba moved out. He had dropped Serenity off at the airport about an hour ago and he missed her already. Before she had gotten out of the limo, he had pulled her close and had given her a kiss so long and passionate, he had become lightheaded from lack of oxygen. He requested that the driver stay put in the limo and he(Seto) personally helped Serenity carry her luggage to the private jet that he had arranged for her to travel in, insisting that it would be safer. He stayed there until the jet had faded into the distance.
He shook his head bringing himself back to reality. He felt a wetness around his eyes and realized that he was crying. Tears were freely streaming down his face. He angrily wiped them away;crying wouldn't help solve anything except now he knew he had strong feelings than he thought for Serenity.
Serenity. The sound of her name made him weak in the knees. Just thinking about her made him feel so lonely. He already missed her soft chocolate brown eyes and beautiful hair and her lips that felt as if they were made of silk.
For the first time in his life, he needed someone, besides himself and Mokuba. In the beginning, he was content to have Serenity as his girlfriend, but now he wanted her to have a bigger role in his life. He never wanted to be apart from Serenity ever again. He wanted her to be by his side,for the rest of their lives, as his wife.
*If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?*
That night Seto cried himself to sleep, thinking of Serenity.
*I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side*
