A Deathly Romance:
Your Song (Ch. 4)
By obi's girl
Disclaimer: Your Song, from Moulin Rouge, is song by Xander Harris in this to his wife, Anya after they have a fight about some stupid thing.
Xander Harris rolled his eyes as he and Anya head down to the Magic Shop the next morning. Last night, Sunnydale's favorite married couple had a fight. It wasn't a big fight. Anya asked him if he still thought of her as attractive, even though she was graying and growing old...and maybe at some point, loose all her hair, might wear false teeth and a hump on her back. Xander laughed at her. Anya never ceased to amaze him...
It all started when Buffy died saving Dawn. She started to be conscious about her health and her body and any tiny little sign that someday she would grow old and die. Of course, Xander being the loving and ever supportive husband told her she was crazy and she slapped him. Xander tried to say sorry but she only nodded no, giving him the silent treatment.
It was even a wander she agreed to go with him to the Magic Box. Xander shrugged, glancing at his love. He hated seeing her angry. He stopped walking, pulling her by the hand towards the park. "Listen An, I know you're mad at me but I'm sorry, I can't allow this to go on. So, like the man I am - I'm going to do something about it." He spread his arms with a stupid grin on his face, sunlight glistening in his eyes.
"My gift is my song," he began, pointing to her, smiling, "And this one's for you." He paused dramatically, placing his hands over his heart, "And you can tell everybody, that this is your song."
"It maybe quite simple but now that it's done." He continued smiling, snapping his fingers, dancing around a bit, "Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, That I put down in words, How wonderful life is, Now you're in the world..."
He looked at her for a reaction but all she did was just stare at him, listening contentedly. Xander nodded, singing a bit louder. "Sat on the roof, And I kicked off the moss, Though some of these verses, Well they, they got me quite cross." He glanced up, squinting at the rising run. "But the sun's been kind, While I wrote this song. It's for people like you that, keep it turned on..."
Harris jumped up, swinging on one of the branches, his arm extended to her but she didn't grab it. "So excuse me for getting, but these things I do; you see I've forgotten if they are green or they are blue."
Xander gasped, looking solemnly, drooping his head a bit, "And well the thing is, well, I really love you. Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen..."
At that, she smiled. Xander grinned back, realizing she was starting to come around.
"This is your song; This is your song...!" the people on the street sang with bright smiles on their faces passing by.
He smiled, saluting them. "And, you can tell everybody that this is your song; It maybe quite simple, but now that it's done." Xander let go of the tree branch, jumped off and grabbed Anya in his arms. "Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words, How wonderful life is, now you're in the world..."
Anya giggled, continuing the song. "Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, That I put down in words, now wonderful life is, now you're in the world..."
She grabbed him into a giant hug, kissing her husband passionately. "I forgive you, Xander - you silly man, my husband."
He patted her back, "I know. You always do...I think it's because you're crazy about me."
