Disclaimer: I own Alec, Allie, and their dæmons. I do NOT own Lyra, Will,
or any other HDM character. I also do NOT own the song "I'd Rather Be In
Love". It is Michelle Branch's song.
A/N: If you do not know who Michelle Branch is, she is a great American singer. In between each paragraph of this chapter will be one verse of her song "I'd Rather Be In Love". I thought it fit Lyra and Will's story.
A/N: Warning: This chapter does not contain much plot, but the next one will.
Chapter 7:
~*~ I'd Rather Be In Love ~*~
~*~
1 I cannot help it
2 I couldn't stop it if I tried
The same old heartbeat fills the
emptiness I have inside
And I've heard that you can't fight love,
so I won't complain
'Cause why would I stop the fire that
keeps me going on?
~*~
At the end of the day, Will and Lyra ended up at the Botanic Garden. Hand in hand, they walked to the bench. They sat together for a long time.
~*~
3 'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you
~*~
They sat watching the sun set behind the trees. The sky was orange- pink, then it turned to more of a bluish-purple. It was beautiful.
~*~
4 Turn out the lights now
To see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
5 And I'd give up everything only for you
It's the least that I could do
~*~
They were surrounded by the soft fragrance of the flowers all around them. There was a warm breeze in the air. And the birds sang sweetly in the trees. Will had his arm around Lyra, and she leaned her head against his. They remained in a well deserved, blissful state for a long time. They finally had the one thing in the worlds they wanted most: each other.
~*~
6 'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
And I'd rather be in love with you
~*~
Soon, Will and Lyra were gazing out at the stars in the dark sky. The stars seemed to be sparkling diamonds, and the sky was black velvet.
~*~
7 And I feel you holding me
~*~
Lyra yawned. They were both very tired, and it was getting late. Will and Lyra headed back to Will's house to go to bed. They only made it as far as the couch in the living room, before they fell asleep.
~*~
Why are we afraid to be in love?
To be loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough to be loved
~*~
The next day, Lyra went back to her own world. She wanted to thank Alec again, and she needed to gather some things from her room, because she would be staying with Will and Mary for a while. And she'd teach Will to travel, too.
~*~
8 And I feel you holding me
~*~
Lyra began to teach Will how to travel that afternoon, so he could come see her in her world.
~*~
9 Oh, oh
And when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
~*~
Will was as quick to learn as she was. And about a year later, he could travel too.
~*~
10 And I'd rather be in love
Yes, I'd rather be in love
Oh, I'd rather be in love with you
~*~
Will and Lyra spent as much time as possible together. They loved everything about each other.
~*~
11 And I feel you holding me, oh
12
13 ~*~
14
15 At some times, they could hardly believe it. They thought they might be dreaming, and feared waking up. But it wasn't a dream. It was all as real as their love.
