the song don't belong to me. le sigh That's getting tiring!But I did like writing this story.... ^____^ It was fun! It's "Take My Hand" By Dido (another great singer! Another recommend!)

Touch my skin and tell me what you're thinking

Take my hand and show me where we're going

Lie down next to, look into mye eyes

And tell, oh tell me, what you're seeing

Makoto held Nephrite's hand as they sat on the couch, listening to soft music and cuddling close to each other. Nephrite was reading a book, his arm around Makoto's shoulder. Makoto looked up at him and smiled, not believing where she was. But she quickly doubted herself and hugged him tighter. He looked down at her and kissed her forehead, catching her eyes.

"Nephrite..." Makoto asked, "what do you see in me?" Nephrite put down his book and pshed her over so he was lying over top of her.

"I see..." He moved her bangs off her face and stroked her hair. "A happy, beautiful young woman fit for a king, but picked a man in a homeless shelter." He said with a laugh. Makoto laughed also and kissed him, pulling him closer to her.

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling

What you feel is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you

I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

"Nephrite... if you ever love someone else---" He cut her off by placing a finger on her lips.

"Never." He whispered.

"No lying?"

"None. I promise."

See my eyes, they carry your reflection

Watch my lips, and hear the words I'm telling you

Give your trust to me and look into my heart and show me,

Show me what you're doing

Makoto ran her long fingers over his bare chest, drawing an invisible picture.

"Ai shiteru." Nephrite whispered. Makoto looked up and smiled.

"Ai shiteru." She replied and kissed his bottom lip.



So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling

What you feel is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you

I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

Take your time, and if I'm lying to you

I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me

That night, Makoto dreamt a dream of lovers. She and Nephrite were dancing in the middle of an empty ballroom, both dressed elegantly. They looked at each other with smiles and stars in their eyes. Makoto had lied to herself many times about loving Nephrite, but that day he said he couldn't stop thinking about her, she knew she loved him.

Feel the sun on your face and tell me what your thinking

Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes

The next morning, the two woke up late and Makoto was going to be late for school. Quickly she dressed and grabbed her bag.

"Matte!" Nephrite said. He walked up to her and kissed her deeply, his hands on her arms, squeezing them lightly. Makoto touched his face and then laughed.

"I'm gonna be late!" She yelped and ran out the door.

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you, I'll always be alone, If I'm lying to you

Take your time and if I'm lying to you, I know you'll find that you believe me,

You believe me

Makoto had felt this way before with Ken. But the feeling felt new and reborn. As she ran to school, the cold wind blowing through her hair, she smiled and smell her shirt. His scent lingered on it. She touched her lips with cold, stiff fingers and still felt the warmth of his lips. Never had Ken's smell lingered on her or his warmth on her lips. Nephrite was her's, and she was Nephrite's. It was perfect; they way they fit together, the way they loved each other, and the way they shared each other.

Nothing could be any better than love.
