There is a drum roll as your authoress walks on stage and she gives the drummer a glare. The lights brighten as the drumming stops and your authoress clears her throat.
Kurane: Hey everyone! This is my first song fic, so I hope you like it! The song is called "A kiss to build a dream on" by Louis Armstrong. Anyways, enough of that, here's A Kiss to Draw Upon!
A Kiss to Draw Upon
Vash and Meryl smiled as they looked on their new home; it was a small place on the edge of a quiet town and offered the solitude they had been searching for. Vash smiled at Meryl, "This place is great!"
She gave him a hug, "It's perfect." The two went inside and it was evening by the time they had finished unpacking. Meryl looked over at Vash and sighed, he was standing on the balcony eating a box of...you guessed it, doughnuts. Noticing her gaze, he came back into the room and gave her a hug, quickly followed by a kiss.
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
A few hours later, the two were sleeping and Meryl found herself dreaming about what her life with Vash would be like. She woke up and looked over at Vash, he was sleeping soundly and she didn't want to wake him. She smiled, 'He looks so cute when he's asleep...who am I kidding he always looks cute.'
She walked over to the table with a pad of paper and a pencil and started drawing the sleeping Vash. She kept thinking about her dream and drawing, which quickly turned into drawing her and Vash, which in turn became her, Vash and a small family. When she stopped thinking about her dream long enough to really look at the drawings, a slight blush crept up her cheeks. A blush that grew when she felt a familiar pair arms wrap around her shoulders.
She looked over her shoulder at him, "Oh, hey Vash. I didn't wake you did I?"
He shook his head, and then looked down at the drawings, "Hey, these are really good! I never knew you were an artist!"
Meryl blushed, "I'm not...these really aren't that good."
He kissed her, "Yes they are. Anyways, I need to leave for work in an hour so I'd better get ready." After a quiet breakfast, Vash gave Meryl another kiss and left for the restaurant.
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination
Will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
Meryl gave a sigh as Vash walked out of sight; he wouldn't be back until late in the evening. She sat at the desk and looked over her finished drawings; she smiled when she looked at the drawing of her and Vash. With how the two had met, no one would have expected them to fall in love.
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Humming quietly to herself, Meryl started another drawing of her and Vash, the two standing together on the moonlit balcony. She gave a sigh, 'He may be an idiot sometimes, but I miss him when he's not around.'
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
A couple hours and a stiff wrist later, Meryl took a break from drawing and looked over what she had finished; her cheeks flushed when she noticed one drawing of her and Vash was of the two kissing. She poured herself a cup of coffee, 'I wonder what that spiky-haired goofball is up to...probably getting into trouble as usual.'
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Vash rushed in the door immediately going over to Meryl and pushing her behind him protectively. Meryl looked up at him; he looked like he'd seen a ghost...or worse his brother. She put a hand on his shoulder, "Vash, what's going on?"
He was silent for a few minutes, but eventually relaxed, "There was a messenger from Knives, and I thought maybe he followed me here."
She glared at him, "And let me guess, you think you're going to just leave me here while you go after Knives?"
He gave her a hug, "Meryl, I don't have a choice. If you came with me and anything happened to you, I'd never forgive myself." He grabbed his coat and gun, and gave her a kiss.
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
Meryl sat back at the desk and picked up the pad of paper as Vash headed for the door, "Hey Vash, if you aren't back in three months I'm coming after you." He smiled and nodded before leaving to confront his brother.
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
She smiled as she finished the drawing she had started earlier that day; it was of Vash coming home with no fear of being hunted. She looked out the window, 'I know he'll come back, and if he doesn't come back after three months, I'll find him.' Humming quietly to herself, she started washing the dishes. The two had plenty of time to be together, and Meryl knew their days would be peaceful.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
