A/N: Hey everyone! So glad to be able to update the one-shot flurry!
This one's featuring two Legends characters: Cade Skywalker and Deliah Blue. I suggest you go read Wookieepedia if you want to figure out who the kriff those two are.
The song featured in this one-shot is "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's. I know that the name is wrong, but it was what was suggested to me.
This one-shot was requested by JeKnYan! Thanks for the inspiration for this work!
I hope everyone enjoys it! Please review or PM me any more requests! I do Legends and Canon, and I do any song that you might suggest!
Cade Skywalker walked the halls of the Mynock as he searched for Deliah Blue, acoustic guitar in one hand. He found her in the ship's rec room, and he poked his head in, asking, "Mind if I come in?"
She simply said, "Come on in, Cade." She then noticed the guitar as Cade walked in and asked, "What's the guitar for?"
"Oh, there's this song that I've been wanting to learn." He took a seat across from Deliah and put the guitar on his knee. "You know, since we're together now, I wanted to do something to show you how much you've come to mean to me. Especially since you saved my life."
Deliah raised an eyebrow, and brushed a strand of blue hair behind her ear. "I'd like to hear it."
He smiled as he tuned the strings. "The name's wrong, but I think that the message will be the same."
He began to pluck the strings a little awkwardly, but soon got the confidence to play them with a more sure hand. His voice was a little rough, but it carried through the room nonetheless.
Hey there Delilah/What's it like in New York City?/I'm a thousand miles away/But girl, tonight you look so pretty/Yes you do/Times Square can't shine as bright as you/I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah/Don't you worry about the distance/I'm right there if you get lonely/Give this song another listen/Close your eyes/Listen to my voice, it's my disguise/I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me [x4]/What you do to me
Hey there Delilah/I know times are getting hard/But just believe me, girl/Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar/We'll have it good/We'll have the life we knew we would/My word is good
Hey there Delilah/I've got so much left to say/If every simple song I wrote to you/Would take your breath away/I'd write it all/Even more in love with me you'd fall/We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me [x4]
A thousand miles seems pretty far/But they've got planes and trains and cars/I'd walk to you if I had no other way/Our friends would all make fun of us/And we'll just laugh along because we know/That none of them have felt this way/Delilah I can promise you/That by the time we get through/The world will never ever be the same/And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah/You be good and don't you miss me/Two more years and you'll be done with school /And I'll be making history like I do/You'll know it's all because of you/We can do whatever we want to/Hey there Delilah here's to you/This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me [x4]/What you do to me
He strummed a few more notes before playing the final chord, and Deliah simply smiled.
"I think you need a little more practice, Cade, but you're almost there," she commented with a kiss.
Cade simply smiled. "Thanks, Deliah. I figured that we'd need something to keep us busy while we figure out the rest of our lives, so I decided on this. What do you think?"
"I think that it's a nice change of pace, considering that we've been on the edge of death more times than I can count." Deliah put a hand under her chin as she leaned forward. "You know what, Cade?"
"Yeah?"
"I think we're going to be just fine."
