Claire De Lune - Claude Debussy:

Iggy hit the play button on his ipod and a piece of classical music came on. Claire De Lune he thought simply. He closed his blind eyes, enjoying the quiet comforting notes the piano played, when he heard footsteps enter his bedroom. Ella, he decided. She padded over to him quietly, and sat down on the edge of his bed, scooting back to sit beside him. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her breath smells like mint Iggy mused. He'd had a crush on Ella for a while, but he was blind and a mutant freak for that matter so he had no chance with her.

"What ya listening too?" She asked softly. "Claude Debussy"

"Claire De Lune?" she guessed. "Yeah, how'd ya know?"

"I love his music, and that's my favorite...sometimes I listen to it when I'm worried or confused"

"Oh, really?" Iggy asked curiously. "Yeah" They sat in ackward silence for a moment when Ella spoke again, "You know, I was listening to it before I came in here" "Really, why? You worried 'bout something?" "Yeah...I was worried about how you'll react to what I say next" Iggy's heart beat a little faster but he kept his face calm (a trick he picked up from Fang).

Ella blushed lightly and brought Iggy's hand up to her face so he could feel. "I really like you Iggy, and...I wanted to know if you liked me?" Iggy felt Ella's face blush deeper and he smiled wide.

Instead of answering her right away, he brought his other hand up to cup her face and leaned forward slowly, gauging the placement of her mouth. He gently pressed his lips to hers, softly kissing her, and to his utter surprise she began to kiss back. After a moment they broke apart, and Iggy whispered in Ella's ear "I like you too"

Later they both decided that Claire De Lune was their offical "song"

I Run To You - Lady Antebellum:

Ella POV

The thunder cracked loudly and I stiffened. Oh, I hate thunderstorms!! I climb quietly out of bed and tiptoe out my bedroom door and down the hall. I stop at Iggy's bedroom and gently push the door open.

"Iggy" I whisper, hoping I'm not waking him up.

"Hmm..Ella, that you?" he says softly. I walk in and lightly close the door behind me. I begin to move toward his bed, when a flash of lightning and a boom of thunder make me shriek quietly and practically jump the rest of the way. He must have heard me hit the bed, because he reaches over and touches my forearm, then pulls me closer to him. I snuggle into his arms, and bury my head in his t-shirt.

"You ok?" he asks, concerning lacing his quiet voice. I nod, and breathe in his unquie smell, somewhere between soap, trees, sunlight, and maybe a tad of sulfur.

He smoothes my hair with his hand and presses his lips to the top of my head. "Scared of thunderstorms?" I nod again and look up at him. I can't see more than the outline of his profile with the dim light filtering through the windows but he appears very relaxed.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" I ask, thinking of how crazy and childish I must sound. I feel him chuckle silently beneath me. "Sure, but can I ask a question?" "Yeah"

"Why was my room the first place you came when you were scared?"

I thought for a second and decided to answer truthfully, "Because I always know I can run to you when I feel scared or upset and you'll always make me feel...happy and safe."

I see his lips quirk up into a half smile and he leans down, in the direction of my mouth. I help him a little and close the rest of the distance. He pulls back after a second and leans back against his pillows. "I'm glad" he sighs and his arms pull me a little closer, holding me tight to him.

"Glad about what?" "That you always know you can run to me, no matter what"

I smile and kiss his cheek, then fall into a restful night's sleep in Iggy's arms, thunderstorm forgotten.
