Brace Yourself
-
so you think
you can hold the world up by a string
-
Mykel has been living at the institute now for about three months. He has learned to call this place home and is even beginning to strengthen his mental stability. He could not have prospered in his mental strength however without the help of a certain red-haired telepath. Jean and Mykel have grown quite close, much to Scott's dismay. Also a shock to everyone was the fact that she broke up with Scott.
Mykel sits down on a bench waiting for Jean. Finally she turns around the corner, actually flying above the gravel walkway. Mykel smiles at her, the women that can hold her entire world up by a string.
-
with all that you have
and i would hold every part of you i could...hold
-
Jean sits beside Mykel and is about to say something when he covers her mouth with his hands. He slides closer to her and slides his cheek across hers, sensing her soft skin against his. He kisses her neck, "I love you."
-
and I'm on...
and I'm on again
brace yourself
with all that you have
and oh, I'm in love again
brace yourself
now...
-
Jean felt the familiar sensation of belonging she felt with Scott, but felt so much stronger she could only sit breathless as the man before her spilled his soul to her.
-
so you feel anything and everything could be
all that you wanted
-
Jean stands, "I don't know if I still have feelings for Scott."
Mykel drops his smile, "You can't have it both ways. Eventually that would lead to pain for everyone."
Jean turns, "I'm sorry Mykel. I've got to go."
Mykel grabs her wrist before she can fly off, "No running this time."
-
stay with me
I'm in no condition to be
alone
-
Tears sting Mykel's eyes at the fact that no one at this institute wants to love him. They all, 'want to be friends', but nothing more. This time Mykel would have his love, he feels safe and truly loved when he's near Jean.
Tears also slide down Jean's face, "Scott never tried to stop me from flying away."
Mykel smiles, "You couldn't fly when you loved Scott. I taught you to fly."
Jean smiles at his analogy. It's true, Mykel had been the one to push her into using her telekinetic abilities to help him train his abilities in affecting gravity. So, he spoke the truth.
-
and I'm on...
and I'm on again
brace yourself
with all that you have
and oh, I'm in love again
brace yourself
now...
-
Jean wipes her tears and wipes his tears, "If I can't run anymore, you can't cry anymore."
Mykel embraces Jean, resting his forehead on hers, looking deeply into her eyes, "I think I can live with that."
-
on and on
sold to your false alarm
maybe I'll hold my breath
and you'll be gone
with all that you have... all that you have
all that you wanted...
-
Mykel leans back and Jean tilts her head to the side and they kiss. Sensations explode within their bodies. It was like being born again, reincarnated so that they had love for only each other. Their hands intertwined and their bodies pressed together, it was only them in a most passionate kiss.
They reluctantly pull apart, staring into each other's eyes. Jean says, "Do you feel that?"
Mykel nods, feeling the sudden impression that they were made to be together.
-
so you think
you can hold the world up by a string
with all that you have
and i would hold every part of you i could...hold
-
Jean says, "Mykel, I never thought I'd say this to anyone but Scott. But I want you to know, I love you."
-
and I'm on...
and I'm on again
brace yourself
with all that you have
no, I'm in love again
brace yourself
now...
-
Mykel smiles, "Even with all of my flaws?"
Jean remembers his mental state, however stable could still slip and break, "What flaws?"
-
love
I'm in love again
brace yourself with all that you have
oh I'm in love again
-
Mykel sighs, ""In love again."
Jean grabs his hand, "But this time it's for real."
-
brace yourself...yeah... (on and on)
brace yourself...yeah... (on and on)
brace yourself with all that you have
yeah...
-
Mykel and Jean walk a few feet before lifting off and gliding through the air.
