Story note: Damnit, three times again before I was able to finish this. :( I don't even know how people finish it during the song. I barely get one or two sentences going halfway through the first run before I finally figure out what the hell I want to write about.

The Paper Kites – Bloom
Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out.
Erik ventured out into the city more often than he had before. His life had once revolved around the opera house, around one Christine Daae; having that small aspect altered, so too had his entire life. Surely, he spent much time within the opera house's walls, with its people and its drama.
Nights though, the nights were for himself alone. Most evenings, he frequented the cold, dark streets of Paris. Cloak wrapped around him, he was able to walk unhindered. The only beings awake were the rats and a drunkard or two depending on which street he walked.
When he was certain the whole world was sleeping, Erik walked an all-too-familiar pathway, to an all-too-familiar balcony. The tree just outside was convenient, but he would have found a way to climb up regardless.
And there, he could watch, just sit on the balcony's ledge. The curtains were always parted, offering him an unobstructed view to the bed. The vicomte liked to wake with the morning, rise with the sun. Erik liked to watch him in the small hours before then, watch him curl up against his pillow, all the while trying to convince himself that this was enough. This was close enough.

A/N: Don't forget to R/R (Read and Review)!
Fic Review: Darn, and it's even much shorter than the previous one. Admittedly though, doing this is making me want to finish one of my longer ones, so there's that added benefit. :D
