A/N: So this is a new idea that's sort of been simmering in the back of my mind for a while, but I wasn't really sure how exactly to get it on paper. My goal was just to do something different...and I hope it turned out as well as it sounded in my mind. Enjoy!


ALL OF ME-John Legend

What would I do without your smart mouth...

It all began with him staring into her captivating eyes. Round, the color of freshly brewed coffee, and twinkling with much deeper meaning. The eyes that threatened his childish behavior.

"You have quite the rap sheet Mr. Castle."

And his witty response, "boys will be boys."

Drawing me in, then kicking me out...

"Just don't think you know me."

The words had echoed in his mind, tugging at something deep inside him. He hadn't known her. Not at all. But that was just the thing...he wanted to and she wouldn't let him in.

Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down...

His jaw dropped as she released one more button on her shirt, eyes fixated on his, daringly. His words had simply been a stupid comment. A silly remark meant to tease her. But she'd obligued, leaving him to stare, dumbfounded, utterly breathless. And oh those eyes.

What's going on in that beautiful mind? I'm on your magical mystery ride...

"We're handcuffed together."

Of everything they'd been though, this was most definitely the strangest. And he only wished, unbeknownst to her, that it was of their own doing. It wasn't, of course, and as far as he could tell never would be. But he could at least pretend all of their crazy adventures meant something. And he says, "kinky."

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright...

He never thought this moment, this fantasy in the back of his mind, would ever become a reality. Her, soaking wet and completely vulnerable, standing on his doorstep. Everything about her had changed. She was willing to give, and he was her destination. Only a moment of hesitation separated him from completely forgiving her. And he stared into those beautiful eyes like stars. Stars that were finally forming constellations he could understand. He could look into them and see her entire universe. And this time, she let him.

My head's underwater, but I'm breathing fine...

Once in while, his thoughts would drift. Why had she chosen him? Why not motorcycle boy? Why not the doctor? Why him? But there she was, and she was his. And his thoughts would become mist, drifting away and leaving him in the moment...with her. And he would fall head-over-heels, time-after-time in love.

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind...

The glint beyond the graveyard. The small, far-off sound of repercussion. The long, seemingly endless moment when everything fell into syncopated, tortuous slow motion. And he watched her fall. And...despite everything, he left after her. He fell with her. He watched as his beacon of light began to dwindle...and finally...go out. And he couldn't lose her. But it was only a dream. Only a reoccurring nightmare from which he would awake gasping and sweating. And she was there.

Cause all of me...

She felt his arms around her, like a wall, safeguarding her. She was safe here, with his warmth radiating through her very being.

Loves all of you...

He would never tire of her soft lips against his. Her warm hands holding his. He would never get used to the way she told him she loved him. And the fact that it was real, no longer a fantasy.

Love your curves and all your edges...

She was strong. Always tried to be strong. Until she would collapse into herself. Until she would close off again. But he would always be there. Always.

All your perfect imperfections...

"I thought...if I told you...you might think less of me."

But he never would. She was herself. She doubted, she feared, she cried, she fought. But she was herself. And he loved every inch of it.

Give your all to me...

His strong hands, running like pebbles through the waterfall of brown hair cascading down her back.

I'll give my all to you...

Her kiss, passionate and deep, telling him she would never leave.

You're my end and my beginning...

He retraced all their steps. From strangers, to friends, to everything all at once. To always.

"You're the last person I want to see at night when I close my eyes."

Even when I lose I'm winning...

And the sealed promise. Unbreakable and neverending.

"I promise to be your partner in crime...and in life...until death do us part. And for the time of our lives."

Cause I give you all of me...and you give me all of you...

always
