Chapter 6 Come What May

Hey everyone! Thanks for your kind reviews for last chapter. I feel a lot better now. I love this chapter just because it has my FAVORITE song in it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the song Come What May.

The next morning came with a vengeance. Serenity woke around noon to find the temperature had dropped even more, and the storm showed no signs of stopping. Through the window, she could see the snow whip by at blinding speed. She sighed and carefully moved out of Malik's embrace. She didn't want to wake him . . . well . . . part of her didn't.

Part of her knew he deserved sleep, and it was that part of her that caused her to carefully lay his head in her lap so that he might have a more comfortable rest instead of being slumped against the wall. But another part of her wanted him to wake up. She didn't know why. Maybe his loud complaints and rude comments gave her the comfort of knowing she wasn't the only one who was suffering though this miserable experience. Maybe having someone else there to share this with lessened her burden a little and made her feel less alone in the world. Maybe . . . maybe the cold was finally getting to her, and these sudden feelings she had for him were just the disillusioned ideas of a woman quietly slipping into insanity. Whatever it was, it was completely different from anything she had ever felt.

She sighed and looked down at Malik. He seemed so calm when he was sleeping, not at all like the reckless guy he was when conscious. He seemed almost like a normal person. She smiled to herself. Malik . . . normal . . . the idea was almost laughable. He was anything but normal. "You really are a mystery . . ." She said, gently running her fingers thought his soft hair. When she realized she was thinking of what it might be like to kiss him, she sternly told herself to stop fantasizing. She couldn't be falling for Malik! He was so . . . so . . . so what? Her heart and her mind were at war. Outside the wind was howling, but inside the silence was almost deafening. She had to break the silence while she sorted out her emotions. When she began singing, her voice was soft and timid.

"Never knew . . . I could feel like this. It's like I've never seen the sky before . . ." He saved my life... "Want to vanish inside your kiss . . . everyday I'm loving you more and more . . ." but he was the reason I was in danger in the first place . . . "Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?" It wasn't his fault, and he got hurt trying to rescue me . . . "Come back to me, and forgive everything . . . " He'll . . . he'll never love me . . . "Seasons may change . . . winter to spring . . ." But . . . I don't care . . . "I love you, until the end of time . . ."

"Come what may . . ." Malik sang in a half whisper. Serenity gasped. Oh God! He was awake! Did he know!

"Y-you know Come What May?" she asked, trying to cover up her embarrassment.

"Yeah, it's from Moulin Rouge . . . not that I've watched it. It's a chick movie. But Ishizu likes it pretty well, and I've heard the song a few times . . ." He paused and smiled up at her. "But the only time I've ever enjoyed listening to it was when you sang it."

"Really?" She asked, trying to hide how much what he had said meant to her. He gave her a small nod, and she smiled. They were quiet for a while, but lost in their own thoughts. They both tried to break the silence at the same time

"Serenity, I-"

"Malik-"

They both stopped, blushing. "You go first." Malik said.

"No," She said softly. "What were you going to say?"

"Uh . . . I . . ." He sat up. "I was just going to ask . . . if you . . . were hungry."

"Oh," She said, disappointed. "Um, yes I am, actually."

"Okay," He stood up and got the groceries. "What were you going to say?"

"When?"

"Earlier."

"Oh . . . nothing . . . it wasn't important . . ." She mumbled as he sat down next to her. He smiled and handed her a green apple.

"Is this okay? I'm afraid everything besides the fruit and vegetables is canned. I had no idea this is where I would be spending my time during the blizzard."

"It's fine." She whispered. He pulled another apple from the bag and bit into it. She smiled as the sour taste mad him squeeze his eyes closed. Maybe this didn't have to be such a bad experience after all. With him here, she knew she could survive. Come what may . . .
