Keep Breathing
A song fic, song by Ingrid Michaelson
The storm is coming but I don't mind
People are dying, I close my blinds
All that I know is I'm breathing now
Lee looked out the window of the little apartment he shared with Gaara, his lover of almost two years. The rain was bucketing down with enough force to drown a cow. Thankfully, Lee was inside the quiet apartment where it was considerably dryer.
I want to change the world
Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me
The young man sighed. What was he doing with his life? He was already 23 but none of his dreams had been accomplished. Well, that's not all true. Lee smiled to himself and glanced over at Gaara's still form under the clean white sheets. Gaara was his dream, his life, his partner, his
lover and his best friend.
But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now
Lee crossed the short distance from his window-seat and gently, so as not to wake the sleeping red-head, lifted the thin, cheep sheets then lowered his stiff body to the mattress. He rolled over and draped one arm over the exposed part of Gaara's back. His tan arm stood out in contrast to Gaara's inhumanly pale skin.
All that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
Lee smiled in satisfaction. He closed his eyes and rested his cheek on Gaara's shoulder. This was all he needed. So what if he wasn't an astronaut? That had been a dream of his since he was a child, however Lee knew that he would give up each and everyone of his dreams as long as he could have Gaara.
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
Gaara stirred then turned around to face Lee. He slowly opened his eyes.
"I am sorry, Love. I did not mean to wake you." Gaara put a finger to Lee's lips to hush him. Gaara's hand moved to the back of Lee's neck. Slowly, Gaara gently pulled Lee's face towards his. Lee could feel his lover's breath on his lips. Gaara's mouth connected with his and Lee closed his eyes so he could focus only on the wonderful sensation that enveloped him. No matter how many times Gaara kissed him the sensation never dimmed in the slightest.
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now
"Go back to sleep now Lee" Gaara's calm voice didn't sound scolding but content. Lee snuggled into Gaara's chest and sighed again but for an entirely different reason. He breathed in Gaara scent and whispered to him.
"Goodnight, Gaara."
I've wanted to write this for a long, LONG time. The only problem was I feared that it would be too short. I was listening to one of my playlists on youtube for the thousandth time and it finally dawned on me that this song was perfect! I'm so slow like that! I highly suggest that you listen to this song. It's pretty awesome!
Constructive criticism is much appreciated! Thanks for reading peeps!
