Well, I was listening to the same CD mix that the previous song (Someday) was on (track 5 lol) and track 3 came on, The Reason by Hoobastank. I'd been contemplating doing a songfic like a oneshot about when they came back togeher, to make it a twoshot. This song, which I'd heard many times, suddenly seemed to fit. Can't believe I didn't notice it before. So here it is. A continuation, basically, of the first one, since I reference it.

You already know what happened between the first one and this one, and if you haven't what's wrong with you! Go read MR3! Lol anywayz...I changed it a tiny bit not just to fit the song in, but kind of to how I wish it had gone...nothing major :) Hope you enjoy! (And this one's a lot happier than the first one, yay!)

The Reason

There was a line of gnarled oaks at the top edge of the beach, and I looked through them, then checked my watch.

"You're late."

Fang stepped out of the shadows, eating an apple. He was dressed in black, as usual, and his face looked like a lumpy plum pie. But his eyes shone as he came toward me. Then they locked gazes with mine, just for a moment. An echo…

Someday…

…and the memories brought on a new feeling, one we both shared, that we both told each other. In that glance, in that moment.

I'm not a perfect person,
There's many things I wish I didn't do.

But I continue learning,
I never meant to do those things to you,
And so I have to say before I go,
That I just want you to know,

I found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you.

I'm sorry that I hurt you,
It's something I must live with every day.

And all the pain I put you through,
I wish that I could take it all away,
And be the one who catches all your tears,
That's why I need you to hear,

I found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you…

And the reason is you…

And the reason is you…

And the reason is you…

I'm not a perfect person,
I never meant to do those things to you,
And so I have to say before I go,
That I just want you to know,

I found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you.

And then I was running to Fang over the sand, my wings out in back of me. I crashed into him and his arms slowly came around me, and he hugged me back. I held him tight, trying to swallow the lump of cotton in my throat, my head on his shoulder, my eyes squeezed shut.

I found a reason to show,
A side of me you didn't know,
A reason for all that I do,

"Don't ever leave me again," I said in a tiny voice.

"I won't," he promised into my hair, sounding most un-Fang-like. "I won't. Not ever."

And just like that, a cold shard of ice that had been inside my chest ever since we'd split up—well, it just disappeared. I felt myself relax for the first time in I don't know how long. Someday had come. My flock was together. Fang and I were together.

Fang pulled slightly back and I wiped my sleeve across my eyes. Fang leaned down and pressed his lips quickly to mine, a promise unnoticed by the celebrating flock, before holding me close again. Never to let go, never to leave again.

And the reason is you.
