For you, there'll be no more crying,
For you, the sun will be shining,
They're always there to wipe away the other's tears. When the frustration of work and the pressure in his mother finally breaks out, Shane always takes Reed in his arms, whispering him to sleep. And when Reed wakes up, he always feels somewhat better, because he knows that Shane will always be there for him. And when his homophobic family goes too far and Shane loses it, Reed always calms him down and wipes away his tears. And Shane knows that Reed will always be the only one who can make him feel better when something like that happens.
And I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right
Reed had never truly felt uncomfortable around Shane. Well, maybe a little, when they had first met, and he was faced the prospect of someone loving him. But over a short amount of time, Reed had grown to trust the curly-dancer more than anyone.
To you, I'll give the world
to you, I'll never be cold
Shane would do anything for the boy with the doe eyes and the reddish-gold hair. If Reed had asked, he'd lasso in the moon, the sun, and all of the constellations. But he also knows that Reed is too humble to ask that. He's never really lost his temper with Reed. Sure, they'd had their spats, but it had always ended with apologies and kisses. Shane would be forever grateful that he had been blessed with the angel that loved him back for some reason.
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.
Shane knows he could tell Reed anything he was feeling, without fear of anger or coldness. Reed would either agree or gently give his own opinion. Shane knows he can completely let go around his boyfriend, be himself and know that Reed will accept him.
And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.
"I love you." had once been a phrase that Reed thought he'd never say for real, or hear for real. So when Shane had finally admitted it to him, it was an out-of-body experience. He remembered the one quote from Moulin Rogue: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." Never before had something been so true
And I wish you all the love in the world,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
Shane didn't like the fact that Reed had remained so devoid of love until he had arrived at Dalton. He didn't like the fact that no one had truly appreciated the young artist until he had met the Windsors – until he had arrived. But now, Reed was surrounded by friends, and a boyfriend who would do the impossible for him.
And the songbirds keep singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.
They save the words for each other only. Three simple words, three short syllables, that hold all of meaning in the world. To know that they care about you, to know that they can be trusted, that they will do anything for you.
And to say them back is to tell them the same thing. To give your heart for another to hold, to love or break.
Neither Shane nor Reed would break the hearts they held if their lives depended on it.
Just to love each other is enough for them.
AN: (shrugs) just a quick songfic. I couldn't get this song out of my head when I heard the Glee version on my iPod today. Naya singing it is beautiful, and the whole scene was fantastic. So, I know it's crap, but I hope you enjoyed.
Love Lala, xoxo
