A/N: I'm not even a fan of Paolo Nutini but this song is so nice and I heard a version of it today and it just screamed Dotty. This one is set after the first film, it's before Dom and Letty split (y'know, between the end of the first film and when she's left to find him in the fourth one.) if that makes sense haha, either way enjoy!

"Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me."
- Last Request, Paolo Nutini

Dom's POV

"Hey, Let, stop that for a moment," I told her, putting my hand on her arm to still her from packing anymore things.

"I've got to pack," she said, shrugging me off. "Got to keep moving, got to look out for myself."

"It's just you and me right now," I told her softly.

"And you're thinking of leaving, I heard you," she told me. "On the phone earlier."

"Are you sure Leon didn't call you?"

"He did," she admitted. "But he didn't tell me, he asked if we wanted to meet him at any point. I said I wasn't sure. I'm going to meet him when you leave though."

"I'm not leaving just yet," I told her honestly. "So please, let's take a step back and just remember, just be together. I just want to hold you and be close, is that alright?"

She finally stopped packing and sat back on the bed. I pushed the dufflebag further along the floor with my foot before sitting beside her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders an she leaned into me. Her head turned as she kissed my chest softly, I wrapped my arm even tighter around her, needing her closer to me. I was planning on leaving, not always forever. She could go back to the States, Mia was still there and I couldn't leave Mia on her own. Letty deserved freedom and she had that, of course she did.

"Thank you," I mumbled into her hair. "For this."

She shrugged her shoulders and I shook my head. Lately, well most of our lives, Letty could never accept when she'd done a good thing. I laid back and pulled her back to lay with me. I knew I could live in a fantasy world where we stay in one place now and be together forever, never leaving each other's side but that was crazy. Deep down though I knew this was it for a while. The last time I could hold her and it killed me. She was always mine and I would always be hers, if she moved on I would never blame her as long as she was safe and happy.

No matter what I would be on that road, Letty's road. Everything would forever be about her, no matter how much I would want to move on she would be forever on my mind. I could lie to her and say I was staying then slip away. Letty might even see through my lies and just pretend I was telling the truth. Both playing the fool and pretending to be none the wiser. I held her closer, not wanting to let go but knowing I would have to.

This felt so right, being so close to her. How could this be the wrong one in reality? I was the one who the authorities wanted, it would be unfair to drag Letty into this mess. That was my main priority, no matter how good this felt or how much I wanted this reality I knew I couldn't have it. I turned my head and kissed her temple, closing my eyes and went back to our past, just remembering the times with the two of us.

After hours of doing just that, mentioning and discussing things here and there, we got up. I held her closer to me in a big hug. From the way she hugged me tighter and turned her head the other way, I knew she'd seen my packed bag that I'd stored the under the bed. She held me tightly but said nothing. When I pulled away I could see the pleading in her eyes and there were tears. I leaned in to kiss her, she held me closer and kissed me more deeply. It took everything in my power to pull away. The look in her eyes almost made me fold. I knew if she found me and I had to leave her again I wouldn't have the strength to leave her like this. I just prayed that I would never have to just walk away.
