I'm back again! One of my favorite songs, introduced to me by one of my
best guy friends. I regained my writing touch after 'Weep Not.'. Anyways
this is "Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry.
AU and PG-13, due to sexual content
~*~Fight the Break of Dawn~*~
~Go on and close the curtains, 'Cause all we need is candlelight.~
Padmé watched Anakin light a small candle. The candle flared up and lit the room with a soft glow. He grinned at her and pressed a button to darken the windows. Now the candle was the only light in the small room of her apartment. Her heart pounded at the intimacy that the one candle gave her.
~You and me and the bottle of wine, And hold you tonight.~
Anakin moved back to where she was and handed her a glass of Alderaani wine. She took the glass gratefully and then felt his arm move around her shoulders. Padmé sipped the wine then leaned against his chest.
~Well, we know I'm going away, And how I wish, I wish it weren't so.~
Anakin did not want to go on the mission the following day. He wanted to stay here with his Angel. That's why he planned this small get together. Watching the small woman, he felt his heart fill with love.
~So take this wine and drink with me, Let's delay our misery.~
Padmé knew of his mission the next day and wished that he would not leave. She knew she would be miserable and would miss him terribly. She moved slightly to look up into his eyes.
~Save tonight, Fight the break of dawn, Come tomorrow, Tomorrow I'll be gone.~
"Stay with me tonight." Padmé said softly. Anakin stared at her; her words were not a question, but a statement. He knew if he stayed, he would keep the mission out of his head. Together they would keep the next day from coming too quickly.
~There's a log on the fire, And it burns like me for you.~
Anakin knew he could not say no even if he wanted to. He wanted desperately to stay with her tonight. His heart pounded and pulsed her name. He moved to take her into his arms. She leaned against him and kissed him. He returned the kiss in answer to her statement. He knew that there was no turning back now.
~Tomorrow comes with one desire. To take me away.~
Padmé wished she had some power of holding the next day back, to stay in this one moment forever. His kisses became stronger, and she became more and more breathless. Tomorrow, he would leave, but tonight was hers.
~It ain't easy to say goodbye, Darling please don't start to cry. 'Cause girl you know I've got to go, And Lord I wish it wasn't so.~
Anakin noticed a tear start to fall down her cheek. He brushed it away with a kiss. "Angel, don't cry. I'm not gone yet. Tonight is yours, my love."
~Save tonigh,t Fight the break of dawn, Come tomorrow, Tomorrow I'll be gone.~
"I don't want you to leave." She whispered softly. He didn't want to leave either. Here he was with the love of his life and he was to leave the very next day. He had worked so hard to get this far and he was only going to have her one night.
Tomorrow comes to take me away. I wish that I, that I could stay But girl you know I've got to go, oh And Lord knows I wish it wasn't so.
His kisses became more intense. He knew what they both wanted. He stood from the couch and took her hand. He drew her from the couch and moved past the candle. Their shadows on the wall danced in the flickering of the candle. He was going to stay tonight and save this for their memories.
Save tonight Fight the break of dawn Come tomorrow Tomorrow I'll be gone
Padmé lay awake next to her lover. She knew that he was awake and he knew she was. The earliest signs of dawn were outside of the small apartment and they both knew that tomorrow was now today. They had saved the night, and tried to fight the dawn from coming, but they both knew that was impossible. Now, Padmé knew that she had to watch her lover leave. But, with his return would bring more possibilities of winning the fight against the dawn.
