Song fic to "The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron and Wine. Basically about Arthur and my original Character, Integral. I felt that alot of stuff between these characters was really left out by the fact that I skipped time in most of the fic, Integralis. Hopefully this make up for that. I also felt that I didn't explore Integral's character very much and so I wanted to do something to include her.

Disclaimer: Hellsing isn't mine.

Please, remember me
Happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention
But

Integral had slipped on the wet grass as Arthur chased her. He stopped hands on knees, panting out the words of concern for her. "Oh, Christ, are you okay?" he asked and she rolled over, laughing in her jeans and sweater. She looked so normal compared to the noble women who wore pencil skirts and tights with a perfect line that ran down their legs. Actually, she probably wouldn't have looked too bad in it. Arthur let the thought overwhelm him a moment before she sat up and stood. She brushed off her bottom before him and he smirked at her. Integral was still laughing.

"Are you okay?" he asked again.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine," she nodded and took his hand. They walked then back to the mansion, into the side door that led into the kitchen. She leaned against the counter.

"We should bake something," she told him and turned around to look in the cabinets for a recipe book or box. Arthur watched her sweater inch up and reveal the small of her back. He smirked at her and took her around the waist, kissing the nape of her neck softly. She scoffed at him and turned around in his arms.

"Can't you see I'm busy being a home-maker," she joked and he tickled her. Integral squirmed and writhed out his grip and went for the sink. The hose was a primary weapon.

"This is one of my nice suits!" Arthur insisted and she sprayed him anyway. He went to the fridge and retrieved the bottle of milk, uncapping it and throwing it on her in a great arch. Integral screamed and sprayed him again. Then, just as Arthur was getting ready to throw milk at her again a loud yell came from the door.

"What have you done to my kitchen?" Walter demanded and looked at the older man and woman before him. He pointed to the door. "OUT!"

Integral and Arthur scurried out of the kitchen giggling.


Please, remember me
Fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then
They went on to say
That the pearly gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again'
And 'Fuck the man'
And 'Tell my mother not to worry'
And angels with their gray
Handshakes
Were always done in such a hurry
And

Integral held Arthur's hand as they walked the street to the car. She stopped in the streetlight, the little flecks of silver in her dress shone and Arthur smiled at her. She had turned to the wall that the streetlamp fell on. He turned as well and read along with her.

"We'll meet again," he said and she smiled, turning back to him. She had tears in her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Yes. It's just very pretty to think about," she told him. "It's not like that graffiti that says 'fuck the man'. It's beautiful," she told him and leaned up to kiss him on his cheek and then continued walking. Arthur stared at the words hastily written on the brick wall. His mouth straightened to a line as he took the time to remember these words and that place. He wanted to remember it as fondly as any other memory with her.

"Are you coming?" Integral asked and he stepped away from the wall to go to her again.

Please, remember me
At Halloween
Making fools of all the neighbors
Our faces painted white
By midnight
We'd forgotten one another
And when the morning came
I was ashamed
Only now it seems so silly
That season left the world
And then returned
And now you're lit up by the city
So

Halloween was not something celebrated among the Hellsing family and other facilities. So, when Integral came to the mansion in costume Arthur laughed at her. He sat at his desk, with Islands in the chair opposite him, drinking tea.

"Don't laugh! Arthur!" she ordered him and stomped her foot at him. "It's Halloween. I don't know why this is so funny to you. A lot of people dress up!" she told the man. He continued laughing and she stormed out.

"You've made a big mistake," Islands shook his head at his friend.

"What do you mean?" Arthur asked him.

"She'll be crying."

Arthur stood from his desk and made his way out of the room and looked in the rooms that led down the hallway. He found her huddled in the library over the copy of Dracula that she liked so much. He furrowed his brow and went to her side. Integral was indeed crying. Tears ran streaks in her make-up. She looked up at Arthur as he entered and she turned away when she noticed him.

"Sweetie," he said and bent down next to her. He touched her shoulder and turned her around to face him. "I'm sorry."

"Don't laugh at me, Arthur," she ordered him. "If you love me then you wouldn't laugh at me."

"I've never said that I loved you," he said carefully.

"Well, I love you, so you'd better love me back," she told him and frowned.

He smiled. "I love you too," he admitted and took her in his arms.

Please, remember me
Mistakenly
In the window of the tallest tower call
Then pass us by
But much too high
To see the empty road at happy hour
Leave and resonate
Just like the gates
Around the holy kingdom
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'
And 'Someone Save Temptation'
And

Arthur pushed the window open and looked out at the roof of the manor. He climbed out lithe as a cat and held his hand out to Integral. She hesitated and took it. Arthur helped her climb out the window to the roof with him. He walked the wide molding to the balcony that was build mostly for looks. Integral followed him carefully. He took her by the waist and lifted her saying quietly: "Don't look down."

Integral put her feet down and sighed at the solid feeling it gave her beneath her. Arthur smiled at her and leaned against the balcony. Integral joined him and put her head on his shoulder.

"You can see forever," she whispered and nodded out to the land that stretched before them. Arthur agreed with a simple nod.
