Always, a storm hawks fanfic

Always

An idea that has been flying around in my mind for way too long but for some reason I never tried to write it until now. Um, I don't think anyone has made a Storm Haws songfic to this song but if someone has, then I'm sorry.

I didn't name the OC I created but sometimes names don't matter. In this fic the name didn't matter to Aerrow so I didn't put it in. But enought talking, enjoy the fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Storm Hawks or the song used in this fic

The rain poured down, leaving nothing dry on the entire terra. As the drops landed on the metal airship, they created a low sound, making the four Storm Hawks inside relieved that that's where they were: inside and therefore dry.

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

Out on the runway of the Condor, a teenaged boy sat at the end, already drenched so he didn't bother to stand up and go inside. Not yet. His heart ached in his chest, making certain feelings known to the teen and he wished the pain that followed could be blown away with the wind.

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

"My heart is yours, why didn't I ever tell you?" he quietly whispered into the night as if she could hear and reply.

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

He pulled out a picture, shielding it with one hand so it wouldn't get wet as he stared at the two smiling faces that stared back at him. The thumb on the other hand, the one that held the picture, moved slowly back and forth right next to the photographed girl and in his mind he wished he hadn't let her slip away from him so easily. He'd give anything to have her love him, to have his arms around her and hear her say she was his.

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

He knew he had made a mistake; he never dared to tell her.

"I've never been so wet in my life!"

The sound of her cheerful voice made him move from the edge, the picture immediately back into his pocket. It was wrong to eavesdrop, he knew, but going inside now would mean he would meet her in the hangar and he did not want that, not like this. He moved until he was sure neither of them would see him from where they stood underneath the runway and he heard the ramp connect with the ground. Stork must have noticed them coming.

"Wait, don't I get a good-bye kiss?"

He wanted to shout when he heard his voice, wanted to jump down and punch the guy in the face for daring to be with his girl but he was a Sky Knight and he knew he couldn't so he remained both still and quiet.

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

He listened as the boy whispered his love for her and heard her footsteps as she walked up the ramp, shouting good-bye as her friend ran off into the night. He stood as he couldn't hear her footsteps anymore, knowing he needed to go inside or else he'd get sick, but he didn't move for a few minutes, making sure she would be in her room when he would head for his own.

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

He loved her, always had; he loved her more than could be described with words. In every battle they fought in, he cast a glance at her whenever he could, making sure she was alright. Whenever Finn went too far, he stepped in, making the sharpshooter leave her alone and tried to calm her down. And every time he came across a crystal he took it and gave it to her, only to be able to see her smile that special smile he loved so much.

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

If only he had told her, let her know how deep his love was for her, then maybe things were different. Maybe if he had, they'd be both inside, she in his arms as they listened to the rain hitting the windows.

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

He closed his eyes as he turned around, opening them a moment after he had faced the door. A hand over his pocket, feeling the photo inside, he wished for a second chance to tell her and silently swore he would take it as soon as it came.

He walked over the runway, a whisper passing his lips as the door opened in front of him.

And I'll love you - Always

So, what do you think?
