A Gift of Song

Summary: From beginning to end in song. Mac and Harm's past, present and future accompanied by various artists.

Pairing: Um… duh! Mac/Harm

Distribution: If you want it, take it but please warn me and tell me where its going.

Rating: PG with a lot of tears

Disclaimer: I swear I don't own the people you recognize. I only like to play around with them and make things go my way. DPB owns them along with Paramount and CBS.

Spoilers: Just about everything basically. Some of the cases won't be covered, of course but a lot of major moments in the lives of Mac and Harm will be.

Author's Notes: I'm doing my research for this one but there's no guarantee that I'll get everything right. Please correct me if I make a mistake. Thanks! Also, I'm about to get into the AU stuff. I originally was only going to follow but I changed my mind because I'm highly against the Brumby/Mac thing. Therefore, I'm skipping over that whole thing eventually.

Chapter 10

Leave Right Now

Harm

----------

His arms were wrapped around her thin waist, his chin resting on her head, blissfully aware of her body pressed up against his and he was leaving.

I'm here, just like I said

Though it's breaking every rule I ever made

My racing heart is just the same

Why make it strong to break it once again?

And I'd love to say I do

Give everything to you

But I can never now be true

So I say…

Of course, cruel fate was playing with him. He wanted to stay, to tell her that he loved her and would never leave her, but she didn't love him back. And so he was leaving.

I'm here, so please explain

Why you're opening up at healing wound again

I'm a little more careful

Perhaps it shows

But if I lose the highs

At least I'm spared the lows

Now I trembled in your arms

What could be the harm

To feel my spirit calm

So I say…

He let her go, reluctantly, letting his hand slide down her body for what he told himself to be the last time. He didn't have a real choice anymore. She was what would keep him there. He turned his back and began to walk away.

I think I'd better leave right now

Before I fall any deeper

I think I'd better leave right now

Getting weaker and weaker

Somebody better show me how

Before I fall any deeper

I think I'd better leave right now

All you have to do is tell me not to go, Mac. All you have to do is tell me you love me and I won't go. Sarah, please. He kept walking, hoping with all his heart that she would stop him from his six months on a carrier, that she would stop him from leaving her.

I wouldn't know how to say

How good it feels seeing you today

I see you've got your smile back

Like you say you're right on track

But you may never know why

Once bitten twice is shy

If I'm proud perhaps I should explain

I couldn't bear to lose you again

He didn't look back knowing the look on her face, the slump of her shoulders would call him back and he couldn't, wouldn't stay unless she told him. I wasn't until he was secured in his transport and in the air that he looked down and saw her red Corvette speed away.

I think I'd better leave right now

Before I fall any deeper

I think I'd better leave right now

Getting weaker and weaker

Somebody better show me how

Before I fall any deeper

I think I'd better leave right now

Yes I will…

Because it took me so long to get the last chapter up and I haven't updated this or Reminescing in forever and a day. I'm hoping for one more chapter up tonight though it might be up tomorrow instead.

The song is Leave Right Now by Will Young
