Ok lil back history. There is another fic that goes with this one. It is A/Z
I'm not happy with it yet so i'm going to post this one first and rewrite the
other one. Have fun and enjoy! Please R&R. Let me know what you think!
I don't own Slayers or anything related to them.
I don't own the song "Come What May" from the Moulin Rouge
soundtrack.
Slayers Duets! Love Confessed!
Backstage Gourry heard the director call for them. Struggling to button the
formal dress shirt he looked in a mirror. He gazed at his reflection dressed
in midnight blue shirt and pants with black dress armor over the clothes he
didn't look like Gourry Gabriev, companion to Lina Inverse.
His blue eyes had a serious expression in them, nervous and excited at the
same time. Lina at any other time would fireball him for what he was
about to do, but today would be different and he wasn't about to let this
chance slip by. He loved Lina he had known it from the moment Phibrizzo's
spell on him slipped, he could kill Lina. How strong the magic was or who it
came from didn't matter.
He was sure she felt something for him, but with Lina he couldn't tell. She
was so wild, and exotic with her small size. Crimson eyes reflected the
passion for life she had come to symbolize for everyone. Nothing he felt
would ever extinguish her flame.
"Now or never Gourry, now or never...." He didn't look back as he left wagon.
Gourry didn't hope for a lot but he would never regret trying. He could only
regret not trying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lina was amazed that they found a dress to fit her. Most were to big in the
bust and she had sent a fireball at the person that suggested she stuff her
shirt. She though it sounded a lot like Amelia and if it was she would
fireball her again for good measures. She moaned feeling the corset pull
tight, she didn't need one but the dress was designed for it. She really
hated going out in full dress like this, no, she hated being in a dress
period.
After running the women out she gazed at her reflection and felt her breath
catch in her throat. Her hair was pulled up in twists and braids, falling
down her back in a red waterfall. Her neck was left exposed and the head ban
she had worn since forever was missing. Shaking her head the locks of hair
flew about her face before falling back into place, the white flowers wove
into the curls didn't fall out. What made her stop and question if that was
herself, was what the dress did to her. The corset squeezed her waste even
smaller, with the added bonus of giving her the illusion of having larger
bust. Velvet as black as pitch clung to her body, silver embroidery ran
along the shoulders and down her arms, across the rounded V shaped neck and
down the front. Satan gloves of black covered her hands. The many layers
underneath the dress fanned it out around her feet. A train of black lace
ran from her hips to lay flowered out behind her.
She couldn't believe this was her. It was someone else looking back
at her. She touched the mirror and thought about Gourry. He would laugh at
her for sure she thought. This wasn't how he was used to seeing her. She
took a breath and left the room not looking back, but promising the first
person who laughs seeing her like this would eat a fireball.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gourry stood ready but didn't hear a word the Director was saying to him. All
Gourry could bring himself to do was stare at Lina, she took his breath away
the moment he saw her. She was beautiful, and he realized nervous. He
couldn't help but smile at her. He had seen her in almost every emotion
possible joy, excitement, embarrassment, despair, hurt, and anger but this
was rare and he would treasure it. He was looking upon Lina Inverse, not
Lina Inverse the Dragon Spooker.
The music began and a hush fell over the stage. Lina turned her
head so that she could see Gourry as he came out and her heart stopped.
Gourry came walking out slowly, head raised with pride and confidence. One
hand rested on the sword given to him as he slowly climbed the stairs to
where she stood waiting for him. He was the perfect image of the prince
charming she had always dreamed of. Dashing and bold, with an undying love
in his eyes for her and her alone. Lina almost didn't hear him start to sing
or notice his hand held out for hers.
As Gourry walked up the stairs to where Lina waited for him, the crowed, the
stage, everything around them vanished. He knew and only saw her. He searched
her soul for a sign that he was right, before bowing deeply to her. Raising,
he held his hand out to her and began the song. "Never knew I could feel
this way." Holding her hand between them, he gently lifted her face up toward
his. "Like I've never seen the sky, before." His voice was soft and gentle,
every moment of love he ever felt for her coming through in the song. "I want
to vanish, inside your kiss." Slowly he pulled her into a waltz, leading her
in a dance that he had wanted for a very long time now, but never had the
courage to ask her too. "Every day, I'm loving you more and more. Listen to
my heart, can you hear it sing." He never took his gaze from her beauty as
they danced slowly on the balcony. "Telling me to give you everything." He
stopped the dance and kneeled before her. "Seasons may change, winter to
spring, but I love you until the end of time." He let his voice rise in
power and love. "Come what may. Come what may. I will love you until my
dying day."
Lina was about to faint, she couldn't stop her heart from racing. This was the
song they were supposed to sing but it wasn't the scene that was to be acted
out. She let Gourry lead her as her world was suddenly shattered and then put
back together. Gourry was saying he loved her, he was using this moment to
tell her something that they both had been to scared to admit. Every feeling,
every emotion she kept hid, even from herself came forward. Lifting her head
she opened her own heart to Gourry. "Suddenly the world seems such a perfect
place." She felt her own heart soar as watched Gourry recongize the fact she
was confessing her own feelings to him. "Suddenly it moves with such a
perfect grace."
Gourry rose from his knee and took Lina's hands in his and held them tightly,
as two voices merged into one. He held her closer than he ever had.
"Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste." Gourry couldn't have asked for
more in life as he heard the feeling in Lina's voice as she sang out to him. "It
all revolves around you." In each others arms they began to dance again as a
long hidden love was discovered between the young couple. "And there's no mountain
too high. No river to wide." Gourry lifted Lina up of the ground as he sang his
next line. "Sing out this song, I'll be there by your side." Standing on the
balcony in each other's arm, they lost themself to each other. "Storm clouds my
gather and stars may collide. But I love you until the end of time."
"Come what may! Come what may! I will love you until my dying day!"
Their voices broke apart for the last verse of the song as Gourry
took the lead. "Oh Come what may!" Lina echoed his love. "Come what may!"
Gourry leaned over and swept Lina off her feet and into his arms. "I will
love you!" "I will love you!" Lina knew that this was a beginning to a
perfect world as her voice alone reflected both of their hearts. "Suddenly
the world seems such a perfect place"
Gourry never let her go as the song was finished. Lina held on to
the one treasure she never knew she had. "Come what may! Come what may! I
will love you until my dying day!" Their voices faded out together as Gourry
leaned forward, kissing Lina like he had once a long time ago in what was a
distant memory.
No one that had just seen what happened could make a sound or dared to
breathe. The stage belonged to them alone that day.
