Good Morning Sunshine
I
do not own SM or RW or this song by Aqua.
This takes place after "That's My Sailor" when Lita and Sage go to
Hawaii to conquer her fear of flying.
When
the sun is up,
On
a clear blue sky,
You
will act like a lover.
When
the sky is gray,
And
the rain comes down,
You
will run for cover.
It was worth it to go to Hawaii with Sage. Not only to see the beautiful palm trees and
the beach or to smell the salty air and feel the warm tropical sun and taste Hawaiian
goodies, but Lita was happy that she was over her fear of flying. She felt so much better. But felt a bit guilty inside. Sage was being so wonderful. He went though everything with her. Her friends would have done the same thing
but the guys were helping them with their on problems. That's what made the guys so special and
Sage was special to her. He was the
greatest friend anyone could ever ask for and wondered if she had thanked him enough. She wouldn't be here having so much fun if
it weren't for him.
As
she was basking in the sun, she felt something cold on her back, "Lita," Sage's
cute voice said, "you'll turn into a giant peeling tomato if you don't use
sunscreen." He picked up her brown
ponytail and placed it to the side. He
squirted the sunscreen into a smiley face.
'Too bad she can't see it' Sage thought to himself.
Lita
began to giggle as Sage spread the cold sunscreen on her back, "That tickles!"
"Really?"
he mumbled, "how about this?" he grabbed her foot and started to tickle it like
crazy.
"Hey,
cut it out!" she shouted through her laughter. She kicked her feet.
Sage
stopped tickling her foot and rubbed the sunscreen thoroughly on her back.
Lita
bit her lip and tried not to laugh. The
way Sage was rubbing the sunscreen was so soft that it tickled. It was like he was kind of afraid to put it
on her since the guy was a bit shy.
Things that rubbed against her this soft tickled her and made her laugh. (Same thing happens to me!) His hands were surprisingly smooth though he
was also one of the warriors. He wielded a heavy sword and wore armor and
though his hands should be rough, they were still smooth with just a tad of
roughness because his hands were strong.
"Put a little muscle in it, Halo!" She grunted.
Sage
was afraid he'd hurt her if he'd press too hard but remembered how tough she
was. He felt a few tight knots on her
back and used the heel of his palm to relax them out. He nearly lost his breath as he watched her lips part in a small
moan.
Feel
the heat, come out of cold,
And
your arm is touching me.
"What
do you want to do next?" Sage asked, pulling his eyes off of her peaceful
expression.
"I
don't know, what do you want to do?" she sighed.
"It's
up to, Lita," Sage said. "We can go for a walk on the beach here or we can go
to a club and dance. Whatever you want
to do."
"Let's
see what kind of restaurants are here," Lita said, "maybe I can learn how to
cook for you Hawaiian style!"
He
finished rubbing her back and she turned over.
She was wearing a black and green striped one piece. "Did you draw a smiley face on my back?"
she asked with a grin.
"How
did you know?"
"Just
because I don't have eyes in the back of my head doesn't mean I can't feel
anything." She poked her finger into
his bare chest and gave him a small smooch on the lips and pulled herself up.
Good
morning sunshine,
You
are my only light,
Lying
with me by my side,
You
keep me warm all day.
Just
stay with me.
After
some Hawaiian cuisine and some slow dancing, they went outside on the balcony of
their hotel room to watch the late sunset.
"Kind
of weird watching the sun setting at 10:30 at night, huh?" Lita asked with her
hands on the railing. Sage came up and
slid his arms around her waist. She
took her hands of the railing and placed them over his as she leaned against
him. {AN: Okay, I've never been to
Hawaii so I don't know that the sun sets at 10:30 for sure, I just know that
it's very sunny there a lot and they do have late sunsets and early sunrises!)
"Yeah,"
Sage replied.
They
stood in silence for a while with their heads up at the sky.
Finally,
Sage said, "do you want anything?" he asked.
"I'm going over to the soda machine."
"Sure,"
Lita said. "Thanks."
"I'll
be right back," he kissed the side of her head and walked through their room
down to the lobby. Lita watched him
walk away and sighed as she returned he eyes to the sky.
Good
morning sunshine,
Be
with me all day,
Just
don't let the rain pass you by,
When
it is cloudy or windy
And
the snowflakes arrive,
You
somehow just make me,
Make
me feel I'm alive.
She
couldn't believe how close she came to missing this moment. The fear would have gotten the best of her
and it would rule her forever. It was
worth the risk. Now she liked flying
and she would do it again. The only
problem was that tickets to go to anywhere, even Hawaii were expensive. She nearly leaped off the balcony when Sage
surprised her by placing the cold soda can on her bare arm.
"Sage!"
she shouted as she turned around, "That wasn't," she looked at him holding the
soda out to her and she couldn't' help but grin, "f-funny!" she burst out in
laughter.
"Cherry's
your favorite, right?" he asked, trying to keep his laughter down. "Sorry, I really couldn't exist."
"Let's
see how you like it!" she pressed her can to his forehead. Although she was expecting him to scream it
was too cold, she got a different response.
"Ahh,
that feels good," Sage moaned.
At
a loss for words, Lita wrapped her arms around his neck. He wasn't sure what to say and held her as
the sun set behind them. They placed
straws in their soda cans, linked their arms around and tried not to giggle as
they drank. It was hard and both of
them sprayed their sodas from their mouth and nose.
"This
was a good idea, Sage," Lita said.
"Yeah,
it was," Sage agreed.
When you are in my feels
Then you are like the stars
Fading away in the horizon
There are a million streets
Leading off the night,
Waiting
for sun to be risen
At 1:17 in the morning, Lita had trouble sleeping. The storm was not the cause of it though.
There was just the gentle pitter-patter of rain on the windows and the clash of
thunder. It was her feelings. She was confused but she knew she loved
Sage. And she felt like she was taking him for granted. He wasn't like her old boyfriend. Her old boyfriend was cute but the trouble
was, he didn't but the 'friend' in boyfriend.
{I'm probably not right about this.
I don't know what her old boyfriend was like so I'm taking a
guess.} Sage did though. He was the best
friend she ever had. He did things with
her and for her. The girls were
like that too and they would have come with her if they weren't with the other
guys as they were helping them tackle their problems.
Lita turned over from the window and looked at Sage sleep
in the other bed. His face was nearest
to her and he had his arm tucked underneath the pillow. Even asleep, the guy looked like he was
meditating. She lifted the covers back
and stepped away from her bed to his.
Feel the heat, come out of cold,
And
your arm is touching me
She shivered, though it was Hawaii and always warm. She wore a white spaghetti strap top with
"#1 Chef" written on the top in black bold letters and blue cotton pajama
pants. Her brown hair fell down around
her shoulders. "Sage?" she
mumbled.
He was still lost in dreamland.
Good morning sunshine,
You are my only light,
Lying with me by my side,
You keep me warm all day.
Just stay with me.
"Sage? You awake?"
she knew it was a stupid question. Of
course he wasn't awake but asked it anyway.
She leaned over him and placed her fingers on his forehead and smoothed
the lock of hair that covered his right eye.
It always fell that way, at least 99% of the time. Even in his sleep and Lita just used it as
an excuse to touch it.
Sage breathed and blinked a few times, "Lita, why are you
up?"
"Couldn't sleep," she replied.
He sat up and ran his hand through his hair. The covers fell down, exposing his bare
chest and the top of his gray boxer shorts.
The moonlight shined on it, making Lita blush a little. "You okay?" he asked. "Want some water or something?"
"I'm fine," she said.
There was a small lightning flashing in the sky and it lit up the room
for a half of second, showing the tears on Lita's face that she herself didn't
even know about.
"You're crying." He whispered. "What's wrong?"
She wiped them away, "Sage, I just want to thank you for
doing this for me, I—," she leaned forward and threw her arms around him. She a knee and rested on the side of the bed
and Sage slid his arms around her in surprise, "thank you! You mean so much to me! I never could have done this without
you! You're the best!"
"Well," he muttered, "Um, you're welcome."
Hold it right there,
Let me take a minute of your time,
To explain how I feel through these rhymes.
I'll do the best I can, and believe me if I could
I'll build you a paradise with these two hands.
The top of your skin, makes my body go numb,
I'm thinking to myself, if my dream comes true,
Or is it coz you never give me a chance to tell you
How I feel, the moments we had were too precious to
kill.
Sage lifted his hand into her hair, "you look so pretty
with your hair down like this." He
said, "of course, you also look good with in a ponytail."
Lita smiled and slid her finger up and down his arm. The thunder boomed again and it made her
flinch.
Sage laughed silently, "relax, Lita," he said, "you should
be used to thunder by now."
"Can I," she began, "just lay down here with you?"
"You sure?" he asked, "it's up to you, but…."
"Just for tonight," she said.
He scooted over and lifted the covers over for her and she
lay down next to him, her head on his chest.
He placed them back over her with his right arm behind her pillow.
"Don't get any ideas," she muttered with a grin.
"Oh, I won't.
Sweet dreams, Lita," he breathed as he slid his right arm close around
her and his left to her face, stroking her face gently and smoothing her hair.
When it is cloudy or windy,
Please turn your face at me
Sage wouldn't go to sleep for another thirty minutes. He lay next to Lita and watched her sleep.
His eyes grew weary suddenly and fell asleep with his arms around Lita after he
kissed her softly on her forehead.
Good morning sunshine,
You are my only light,
Lying with me by my side,
You keep me warm all day.
Just stay with me.
Lita woke up and sighed dreamily. The room grew warm with the sunlight and Sage's
love for her.
"Good morning, sunshine," she whispered.
"Huh?" Sage mumbled, "Were you talking to me?"
"Of course, silly!" she laughed, "I know for sure I wasn't
talking to the sun."
Sage smiled and Lita realized something, something, he
really was the warrior of light.
Good morning sunshine,
You
are my only light,
Lying
with me by my side,
You
keep me warm all day.
Just
stay with me
Good
morning sunshine,
Be
with me all day,
Just
don't let the rain pass you by,
When
it is cloudy or windy
And
the snowflakes arrive,
You
somehow just make me,
Make me feel I'm alive.
Make me feel I'm alive
