**This is my first song-fic thingie, so . yeah. Anyways, whenever I played
Kurtis's part on AOD, I played the Foo Fighter's cd. When I heard the song
"Everlong," it made me think of Lara and Kurtis so *shrug* I decided to fit
it in there. If no one likes it, I'll redo the chapter without it.**
Hello I've waited here for you
Everlong
Lara lay in her bed and thought about Kurtis. She never thought about anything this much. She liked the idea of having someone around and at the same time, she hated it.
Tonight, I throw myself in too
Out of the red
And out of her head she sang
Kurtis stood outside Lara's door, debating on whether to go in or not. She might let him in if he tried or she might shoot him. He didn't want to be shot, but he didn't want to stand outside her door all night either. He knocked.
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
"Come in," Lara called. She watched Kurtis come in and shut the door behind him from the corner of her eye. "Yes?" Kurtis couldn't say anything. Lara said, "I got you good today, huh."
"Well, you surprised me. Especially when I figured out Larson didn't bet you."
Slow how you wanted it to be
I'm outta my head
Out of her head she sang
Lara looked away and said, "Bet that took you a while." Kurtis sat down next to her.
He said, "Why don't you just admit you want me here? You know it, I know it- hell, Larson probably knows it."
"Nah, he thinks I love him." He put his arm around her shoulder.
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
She tried to pull away, but it was obvious to Kurtis that she wasn't trying very hard. He said, "Quit the act, Lara." She sighed trying to convince him, and herself, that she didn't like the feeling of his arms around her.
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If everything could ever be this good again
The only thing I ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Lara pulled herself away and stood by the fireplace. Kurtis sighed, "Why are you being so difficult?"
"Because this is ridiculous," she snapped. "This . I-"
"You just don't want to admit that we got something for each other. Can't you put your defense down for one day?"
Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
Lara turned to look at Kurtis. She just stood there when he came to hold her again.
And now
I know you always been
Out of your head
Out of my head I sang
Lara put her head on his chest. She couldn't believe she was allowing him to hold her. She couldn't believe she was allowing herself to go along with it.
And I wonder
When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever
If everything could ever be this good again
The only thing I ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Kurtis felt the top of her head under his chin, her breath against his neck. He said, "Not so bad is it? And all we're doing is hugging."
Lara looked up at him and said, "Are you suggesting something?"
"Maybe." She just shook her head, he was grinning.
And I wonder
When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever
If everything could ever be this good again
The only thing I ever ask of you
