I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - By Aerosmith AVW by Arcion

"I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing,"

Snow has fallen asleep (after drinking the Pupura Juice) and Ginta had volunteered to take her to her room.

"Watch you smile while you are sleeping, while you're far away and dreaming."

He sets her down on her bed and kneels beside it to watch her sleep for just a moment.

"I could spend my life in this sweet surrender"

He questions what he's feeling, she looks and acts so much like Koyuki, but knows she's a different girl.

"I could stay lost in this moment forever"

'Would it really be cheating? Since Koyuki isn't my girlfriend.'

"Well, every moment spent with you, is a moment I treasure."

Snow giggles in her sleep and turns towards him, reminding him of when they first met, and he blushes.

"I don't wanna close my eyes"

He turns away, and moves to stand, and leans forward."

"I don't wanna fall asleep"

He doesn't know that Koyuki is looking back at him from the sleeping Snow's mind

"'Cause I'd miss you, baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing"

'Koyuki, I wish you were here.'

"'Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do"

Without knowing she dreamed of him through Snow's eyes, he has dreamed of her, of the stories he would tell her about Marchen.

"I'd still miss you, baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing"

He still longed to be home, and actually talking with her, but he wouldn't abandon Alviss and Nanashi and the others to the Chess

"Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating"

He thought of the third round, when Snow had collapsed after her battle, and he had carried her on his back.

"And I'm wondering what you're dreaming, wondering if it's me you're seeing"

He watches her and thinks of what they're dreaming of, both Snow and Koyuki.

"Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together"

After glancing around quickly to make sure no one was around (especially Edward), Ginta leans over and kisses Snow on the cheek.

"And I just wanna stay with you, in this moment forever, forever and ever"

He quickly falls back on his haunches, as if afraid someone had caught him, even though he had glanced around and seen no one.

"I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep"

She makes a sound as if she's going to wake up, and Ginta moves to leave, not wanting to get caught watching her.

"'Cause I'd miss you, baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing"

But she reaches out and grabs his hand, holding him there, but not waking.

"'Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do"

He lets her snuggle his hand, and rests his chin on the other.

"I'd still miss you, baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing"

When she fights, he's watching closely, he doesn't want her to be hurt.

"I don't wanna miss one smile"

He smiles, watching as she sleeps peacefully,

"I don't wanna miss one kiss"

And watching Koyuki at the same time, though unknowingly.

"I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this"

He doesn't want to get caught, but he decides this wouldn't be a bad way to spend the night.

"I just wanna hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine"

He wishes he could hold her close, to protect her, to keep her from being hurt like she had been.

"And just stay here in this moment, for all the rest of time"

Despite knowing he should get up, he nods off eventually, still holding Snow's hand.

"Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep"

His hand tightens around Snow's, imagining both Koyuki and Snow together with him, after this War Game was over.

"'Cause I'd miss you, baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing"

Edward peaks around the door, he knows Ginta had brought Snow up here, but he hadn't seen the boy leave. When he sees the two, Ginta on his knees beside the bed, asleep with smiles on their faces and one hand cushioning their cheeks and the other clasped together, he relents about yelling at him to wake up and go back to his own room for the night.
