pairing: unrequited derrick/massie (massington)
summary: "oh non, je t'en prie. nous ne sommes pas chez nous." unrequited derrick/massie, implied james/massie.
a/n: Again, this one-shot is based on another song called Nantes by Beirut. The summary translates to, "Oh no, I beg you. We are not home."
Well, it's been a long time, long time now
since I've seen you smile
{=}
It was a gorgeous night in Nantes. The colours of the sunset like oils on a canvas. Massie had just glanced up from her plate when she spotted a familiar head of dirty blond hair at the restaurant entrance.
{=}
And I'll gamble away my fright
and I'll gamble away my time
{=}
Her face perked up instantaneously. She stood up, pushing the chair behind her into an unsteady motion. The brunette's voice trembled with a tinge of eagerness that hadn't been heard in years.
"Derrick?"
{=}
And in a year, a year or so
this will slip into the sea
{=}
There was no answer. She tried again, though to no avail. James shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
"Massie, love, are you okay? People are kind of staring..." he trailed off.
{=}
Well, it's been a long time, long time now
since I've seen you smile
{=}
She faltered. No, it's not okay. It never has been.
A smile plastered her face.
"Oh, yeah, of course. I just thought I saw somebody."

Nobody raise your voices
just another night in Nantes,
Nobody raise your voices
just another night in Nantes.
