Reason: It just seemed that it fit, in my head, at least.
A/N: As one of my reviewers pointed out, most of these don't seem to fit together; they aren't supposed to. Most of them are AU to each other, if not all of them.(I haven't actually figured it out myself, which ones go together, and which ones don't...)
I'll bet two years
I'll bet one year
I'll bet those years
You won't be here
Beka Cooper watched out the window of her second story apartment, her haunting gray-blue eyes wistful as she thought of the time that had passed since she'd seen Rosto. They'd argued, and he'd left. It'd been nearly six months since he'd been back to the Dancing Dove, and since he'd been seen in Corus in general. Considering that, Beka didn't think she'd see him any time soon. Somehow she was surprised how much she missed him.
I guess I'll keep
I guess you'll keep
Every memory
Sadly we may never be
Sitting there, a thought struck her. What if Rosto never came back? It seemed like yesterday that they'd been honest with each other, and he'd started courting her as best he could. Beka had finally given in to her feelings for him, and then they'd gotten into that stupid fight. Now she couldn't even tell if they'd ever be together. A silent tear slipped down her cheek as she thought of something bad happening to him.
I'll bet my tears
I'll bet your tears
I'll be those tears
Over time could disappear
Rosto the Piper flicked some of his white-blond hair from his face, suddenly feeling that he should have been back in Corus with Beka instead of where he was in Port Caynn. He really missed her, even more so whenever he thought of her.
Wait a minute I have more to say
And I care if you're listening to me
I need you
More than you'll ever know
Still do
Willing to let it show
I need a minute just to get to you
I feel like I might be getting through
Come over and say nothing
Silence is everything
Less than a week later, both received a letter, something neither expected.
Beka,
I've realized something, you're more my life now than being the Rogue has ever been. I'm coming home, to Corus. I'm sorry for everything.
Your faithful Rogue,
Rosto the Piper
Rosto,
I miss you.
Love, Beka
P.S. I'm sorry.
I know, I know
Feelings can show
If you let go
I must be told
That I've got a hold
On what we used to have
Once more, Beka sat at the window, staring out at the city, wishing Rosto was there with her. She sighed, glancing down toward the door to the building. Just as she looked, she saw it close. Odd, she thought, Kora and Aniki are at the Court, and there's no one else staying here. She didn't have more time to think about it, just then there was a knock on her door.
I will forgive
If you forget
All the things we said
Let's accept it
Beka stood and crossed to the door, hesitating before opening it. It was Rosto. Beka let out a small shriek, and threw herself into his arms. "Rosto! I missed you so much!" She didn't even realize the words were out of her mouth before she had the thought about them. Rosto grinned roguishly at her, "I missed you, too, Beka."
I need you
More than you'll ever know
Still do
Willing to let it show
I need a minute just to get to you
I feel like I might be getting through
Come over and say nothing
Silence is everything
A/N: Finished? Okay then, review!
Up next - Kel: Collapsed.
