Into Your Arms
A.N.:
Hello!
First I want to thank Alexandra, socialnetwork1, catspats31 and Julianna Sevani for the great reviews!
In my firsts song fics I thought I was very attached to the lyrics, so in this one I tried to develop a plot based on the song. I don´t know if I accomplished it. (Please let me know in the review).
This one-shot happens after Step Up – All In.
Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any of the Step Up franchise (movies and characters) and the song "In Your Arms"
Las Vegas, February
Wednesday was a day off from the show. The girls were doing a spa day at the apartment of Moose and Camille, while the boys were taking the opportunity to buy gifts for Valentine's Day.
Sean, Jason, Santiago twins and Vlad enlisted the help of Moose to choose the gifts, since he was, as he liked to refer to himself the "master of the conquest."
He agreed, saying he felt honored by the invitation.
He did not comment, but also needed to buy a gift for Camille.
After two hours, Jason and the twins had already bought their gifts. Sean, who was becoming desperate, said:
"Why is it so difficult to buy a gift? We've walked this entire mall and still not find anything! I quit! "
"Hey, Sean, if you're like that when you're not so long ago with Andie, imagine if your relationship last as long as mine with Camille."
"Moose, which was the gift you gave to Camille on your 1st Valentine's Day together?"
"Back off, you will not copy my gift!"
"Why not? It worked ... "
"Sean, the secret of the Valentine's Day gift is not the gift itself, but what it means for the couple."
"Oh, so you mean that on your 1st Valentine together you and Camille had ..." said one of the Santiago twins, while his brother nodded, smiling in a malicious way.
Moose tried to ignore the comment, but a slight blush on his face, a smile and the way he scratched his head told otherwise.
The two brothers began to laugh, which caught the attention of Jason and Vlad, who were a few yards ahead, choosing a blouse for Robot Girl.
Trying to disguise, Moose said, "Guys, what if we sit for a beer?"
The other five agreed.
The bar where they sat had one clean decor highlighted by a screen that was passing the music video for "In Your Arms" by Nicco & Vinz.
The boys were stunned, not only was the music beautiful; with lyrics like:
"Life is a journey where you stumble and fall
But I'm okay
When I lie down in your arms"
, but the story of the clip was also very thrilling: a man wanted to build a time machine in order to save his family from a fire.
When the video ended, the six boys were quiet for a while until Jason broke the silence:
"Wow, that video was pretty crazy, we could use a similar concept for our show!
If you could go back in time what would you like to change? "
"I would not change anything," said one of the twins, while his brother added:
"I agree perhaps go back just to relive some moment again, for example, our victory in the Vortex."
Vlad smiled and nodded in his robotic way.
Sean said in a choked voice. "I'd go back to before my father's death. I would say that I loved him despite everything. "
All eyes turned to Moose, which until then was silent and still (what to others seemed like it was a miracle), he said:
"As soon as Jason asked, I would answer that I would return to the day of the Halloween Party in my freshman year at NYU, because it was this day that I left Camille waiting for me, and she told me she was over, I felt terrible for having hurt her."
"Do not talk to me about this day, was the same in that we lost the Vault!" Jason said as the twins and Vlad made a face of disgust.
"But after the review of the twins I decided to not change anything, because it was after that moment that I began to really realize how much I was in love with Camille, and from there we began our relationship."
"Even for us, if not for that, we would not have known the MSA Crew, and maybe we would not be all together here in Vegas." Jason completed.
"Moose, and what about the day you kissed that blonde girl?" Asked one of the twins.
"Also wouldn´t change it, because when I made it up and Camille, we felt from that moment, we are more united than ever."
"And as for me, I agree with Moose and others, and also would not change anything." Jason completed.
The other boys began to talk about other issues, but Moose was no longer paying attention. He recalled the night on the terrace when Camille said:
"Home doesn't feel like home without you."
And with each passing day he agreed more and more with that: After college they could have stayed in New York, or even gone back to Baltimore, for him it did not matter, as long as it was with Camille.
Since they started living together in Los Angeles, his family, especially his mother and grandmother, always gave a way to ask when he would ask Camille to marry him.
He always found a way to change the subject, but for some time now, this idea did not come out of his head, and now recalling significant moments of their relationship, he began to wonder: Why not?
Suddenly, he talks to the other: "Hey, guys this weekend, Camille and I´ll go to New York."
"Moose, why in this weekend?"
"Well, guys, this trip is part of my Valentine's Day gift for Camille, now if you'll excuse me I need to go to a jewelry store to choose the other part ..."
"What? Jewelry?" Asked Sean, rising to follow Moose, but he was stopped by Vlad and Jason.
"Sean, do you still not understand?" Said Jason, while the twins were making a sign with their ring fingers.
Finally he understood. Sitting again the guys made a toast: "A memorable Valentine's Day." And it sure would be.
