~*~Disclaimer=me no own~*~A little bit of warm heartedness for the evening
lol.~*~
~I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes I'm trying to keep my cool I know it shows~
Malcolm stared at his girlfriends door, mind racing over what he was about to do. He pressed the door chime and waited feeling his heart pound in his chest.
*Hurry up before I run away!!*
~I'm staring at my feet~
He looked up from his secure vantage point on the floor as the door swished open.
"Hi Malcolm."
~My cheeks are turning red I'm searching for the words inside my head~
"Hi," he stuttered.
She moved to let him in.
*One foot in front of the other. That's it, left, right, left, right*
~I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you're worth it You're worth it Yeah~
He looked into her warm brown eyes as she talked about general things. It wasn't sinking it at all.
*Just say what you have to say, the worst she can do is....................ok ignore that just speak!*
~If I could say what I wanna say I'd say I wanna blow you away, Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight?~
"You ok?" she asked concerned. "You seem a little...................distracted."
*If only you knew, if only. Right think. You practiced what you were gonna say*
If I could say what I wanna see I wanna see me go down on one knee Marry me today~
"I'm fine," he managed.
She studied his features closely.
~Yes I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say~
*Mouth why are you working? There's a loose connection between my brain and my mouth I swear!*
~It don't do me any good It's just a waste of time What use is it to you What's on my mind?~
She continued talking to him; he could feel the box digging into his side almost urging him to speak.
*Why can't I say it?*
~If it ain't coming out We're not going anywhere So why can't I just tell you that I care?~
*Just say it, c'mon! What are you? A man or a mouse?*
She was getting changed now, out of her uniform and into more casual clothes, made her feel more like she was a woman as she so eloquently put it.
*Must she do that? I'm trying to say something and it's very hard to concentrate when's she's..........................umm......................MIND ON TASK MIND ON TASK!!*
~Cause I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you're worth it You're worth it Yeah~
"You wanna get something to eat?" she asked.
He nodded dumbly.
She smiled and linked arms with him and together they began walking to the Mess Hall.
*Oh brilliant, you can barely say it in front of her now you're going to a room full of people. Fantastic, I can see it now!* ~If I could say what I wanna say I'd say I wanna blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight?~
Once in the turbo-lift she brought his mouth close to hers.
"See, when I've had a crappy day all I need is you to cheer me up," she said smiling.
He returned the smile blushing like a tomato.
~If I could say what I wanna see I wanna see me go down on one knee Marry me today Yes I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say~
*C'mon Malcolm, look, here's the mess hall. Oh no-Trip! Bugger. He's giving me meaningful looks*
Malcolm made a cutting motion across his throat. Trip sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Hopeless," he mouthed. "Ya hopeless Mal!"
She gave him a strange look.
"Are you sure you're alright? You're acting strangely."
"No, I'm fine; I'll get us food, why don't you get a table."
She smiled and wandered to a nearby table.
~What's wrong with my tongue? These words keep slippin' away I stutter, I stumble, Like I've got nothing to say.....~
Trip came over.
"What happened?" he hissed.
"Mouth isn't working, I can't do it," Malcolm panicked.
~Cause I'm feeling nervous Trying to be so perfect Cause I know you're worth it You're worth it Yeah~
"Mal! Why?" Trip asked trying to keep his voice down. "Ya are so damn stupid!"
~Guess I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say.~
"Look, I keep trying to say it but nothing's coming out," He explained quietly.
"Well make it come out!" Trip hissed.
"It's not as easy as that!" Malcolm protested.
~If I could say what I wanna say I'd say I wanna blow you away Be with you every night Am I squeezing you too tight?~
"I'm terrified," he admitted. "What if she says no?"
"She won't!" Trip assured him. "She loves ya-I can't imagine why though-now get over there!"
~f I could say what I wanna see I wanna see you go down on one knee Marry me today Yes I'm wishing my life away With these things I'll never say~
Malcolm grabbed two trays and carried them back over to Hoshi.
Just as he was nearing her he tripped.
He looked up to see spaghetti sliding down her face.
*Oh damn*
She had an unreadable expression on her face.
~With these things I'll never say These things I'll never say~
*Ok, she's dripping head to toe in spaghetti, I guess it's now or never*
He got up onto his knees slowly pulling the box from his pocket.
"Hoshi, even when you're all covered in spaghetti and sauce, I love you," he told her. "So will you grant this hopeless excuse for a human being the honor of marrying you?"
He waited tensely for her response.
Hours seemed to pass.
Slowly her face spread into a wide grin.
"C'mere ya daft git!" she said mimicking his accent.
"Is that a yes?" he asked
She nodded and the mess hall erupted in cheers.
*Oh thank the Lord my mouth works!*
