SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1I don't own Beyblade or any of the characters...but I think you knew that already.
Another part to my Rei/Kai songfic, "Give Unto Me", by Evanescence. I don't own the song either, but I'll bet you knew that too.
So, I'm procrastinating and writing this instead of the prequels to "Letters", my other Rei/Kai story...oh well. Please forgive me if you're waiting on it.
Give Unto Me
I've
been watching you from a distance
The distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark
You're doing it again, Kai. You're pushing me away. Just a week ago, we were happy. You were happy. What happened? Slowly, you've been retreating back into yourself, and forcing me to watch you from a distance once more.
Are you still hurting? Well, that's a stupid question. I know you are. But you were letting me help before, why not now? You were so close to the light, Kai. Don't give it up now. Please don't give me up now.
Give
unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison
Please let me help you, Kai. I know what it entails; I've done it before. Helping you means a lot of sleepless nights and having to put up with your cold indifference again and again.
And yet I'm still willing to help you. Let me bear some of your pain, Kai. You can't do this alone. I love you too much to let you do this alone.
Why
should I care if they hurt you
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
Save you (save you)
I'll save you
God! Why do I even bother sometimes, Kai? You just snapped at me to get away from you, and I'm seriously considering leaving you to your self-induced misery.
No...I can't do that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I can't leave you. Somehow, your pain means more to me than anything else. I just want you to be happy, even if...even if eventually that happiness isn't found with me.
Give
unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison
But no...somehow I don't think that's the problem. After a few days of studying you like I used to, I think I can safely say that it isn't your past right now, because you sleep instead of having nightmares...nor is it that you want to leave me, because you still stay by my side throughout the night.
It has something to do with me, though. I don't know what it is, though. Did I do something wrong? I haven't changed or anything. Are you nervous about telling me something? Come on, Kai, we've been together for a year now. There's nothing you can tell me that would shock me by now. Even if there is; I'd still love you.
Fear
not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll have your nightmares for you
If you sleep soundly
Maybe that's it. Have you sensed that I love you by now? I don't know when it happened, but I do. Everything about you, Kai, screams perfection. Pale, sculpted body, two-toned blue hair, reddish-mahogany eyes that always hold my attention...
And then there's your soul. You have so many layers that sometimes it's hard to decipher which part of you is real and which part of you is the mask. Are you afraid of love? It would make sense if you were; after all, your past wasn't exactly filled with it.
Give
unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison
If helping you means suppressing what I feel, I'll do it. I don't know if I can, but I'll try. I don't want you to be uncomfortable around me. That's the last thing I'd want, ever.
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let
it be the sun in your world of darkness
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll have your nightmares for you
If you sleep soundly
But it could help you, if you'd let it. Love is a wonderful thing. I don't want you to miss out on it. You think it makes you weak, even now. Hell, you saw me as a weakness in the beginning. But it doesn't, and I'm not. Look at Max and Tyson. Have you ever seen Tyson blade as well he does when Max is cheering him on? Or vice-versa. Love is not a weakness. Somehow I'll have to convince you of that.
Fear
not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
You called for me just a minute ago and we step outside on the porch. You stare out into the sky, eyes distant, and I sit there watching. Funny, this is probably the closest we've been in what, a week or so?
...Okay, so I'm a little bitter about that. But you can't blame me, can you? But I think you see that, because you wrap an arm around me and pull me close as we sit down on the steps.
"...I'm sorry", you say, and I know it's hard for you to do, because you aren't used to apologizing, so I don't make a big deal about it, and instead curl up closer to you.
You look relieved that I'm not upset with you, and then say, "I've been thinking...a lot, about what's been going on with us, and after awhile I figured out what I need to say to you".
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe you do want to break up with me. The thought severely depresses me, and I cringe, waiting for the final blow. Then you say, "I think...I think I love you, Rei".
I'm pretty sure that you're surprised when I leap on you and practically tackle you to the ground. While thanking God that you're okay and that you said those three little words, I proceed to kiss you senseless.
"I take that as a good sign?", you say dryly, breathless from my attack. I lay my head on your chest and smile. "I know I love you, Kai". You smile–a miracle in itself–and run your hand through my hair, and all is right–more than right, it's perfect–in my world.
Yay! The end. Please review, and let me know if I should continue this. Maybe I should try a different POV or something too.
