Kaze- Sage and Rowin are not property of mine, nor is the song. The story between the lines is mine.

This fic dedicated to Quatre's Girl, for being my friend for over 10 years, and because I know you like Sage. Why let a good idea like this go to waist, nee? ^.~

Jessica closed the door behind her as she moved through the organized chaos of her room. She thunked her bookbag on the floor and hit the switch of her radio.

"...Kicking off another 20 minutes of music on K99.1FM!..." She began to hum along with the music as she laid down on her bed and stared up at her ceiling. Taped to her ceiling were two pictures. One of herself, and next to it, one of Sage Date, the cutest guy at her school.

It's amazing how you

can speak right to my heart,

She remembered how they had first really met. She had been crying in a back corner of the local park after a recent break-up. Sage had found her there, trying not to cry, and only crying more.

without saying a word,

you can light up the dark.

She had told him all about her break-up, and let him comfort her, before she had realized who he was.

Try as I may

I could never explain

what I here

when you don't say a thing...

By then, she was to far in love with him to care what the others might think.

*the smile on your face

lets me know that you need me

The next day, Sage had walked up to her at lunch. She'd never forget the smile on his face as he handed her a neatly folded piece of paper. The note was asking if they could get together, if they could go out sometime.

there's a truth in your eye

saying you'll never leave me

He asked her later in the hall. She agreed without any hesitation. She couldn't help but notice a happy sparkle in his eye that she had never seen when he spoke to other girls.

a touch of your hand

says you'll catch me if ever I fall

That weekend he had taken her roller skating. She didn't skate much and wasn't very good. But everytime she stumbled, and there wasn't a rail or wall to hold onto, Sage would be there behind her to catch her or help her up.

yea, you say it best,

when you say nothing at all.

Afterwards he had treated her to lunch. Though he had never said it out loud, she could almost hear him say it was to apologize for making her do something she wasn't good at.

All day long I can here

people talking outloud

One day when they had been walking home from school, she had complained about her bad day and what a headache she had gotten in choir.

but when you hold me near

you drown out the crowd

Suddenly he had turned her to face him, and firmly kissed her on the lips. She had been to stunned to stop him, not that she had wanted to. When he asked if her headache was gone, she could only nod, still being to stunned to talk.

Old Mr. Webster

could never define,

what's being said

between your heart and mine..

A few weeks later, Sage had been sick, and she had asked his friend Rowin if she could come over to see him. He had said it would be OK, then asked why. She had almost laughed as she realized that he, the smartest person in the school, didn't realize that she and his best buddy were going out.

*The smile on your face

lets me know that you need me

She was startled out of her memories by a knock at her door. Sage stepped in carrying his books, and smiled at her. Her friend Kat bounded in behind him, always bursting with energy. Kat accidentally bumped into him (at least she thought it was accidental) causing him to stumble into her.

As he untangled himself from her and stood, his eyes met hers. Shed never get over the beauty of those lavender depths.

a touch of your hand

says you'll catch me if ever I fall

As they were pulling books and homework from their bags, he reached over and gave her hand a little, comforting squeeze. His hand was so warm and soft, she didn't want to let go, but he released her before Kat saw.

yea, you say it best

when you say nothing at all..

"Anyone want a coke?" asked Kat as they settled their papers and discussed their math assignments.

"Yea, one here. There in the garage." She said. When Kat had left the room, Sage suddenly pulled her close to him.

"It's been I while since I've had the chance." He whispered quietly in her ear. As she turned to look at him, he pressed his lips to hers. Fireworks were exploding in her head as he finally ended the kiss. She leaned into him, partly for support.

"If you two are done, we can get started on math."

They both looked up in surprise to see Kat laying there on the floor, digging through her binder as if it was nothing strange to her. The two cokes were set on the ground in front of her.

A little mushy, yes, but I'm sure any sage-fan would happily imagine themselves in the same position. Please Review. Good, bad, constructive, any at all. Thanx for reading.
