AN: The song lyrics are fairly minimal and short (finally ). So I'm just putting them at the top and the story underneath. I think it'll make it easier to read. Also, the situation is written so you can picture whichever characters you like best. It is also very short.


Story Twelve: Just A Hug
Featuring: All or Any
Song: Eskju Divine: Hold On

Lay down beside me
So that I can hold you close
I will let you rest,
rest in my embrace
I promise to never,
never let you go
But if you're going down
I'm going down with you
Hold on,
'cause it's gonna be so fine

The sun streamed in through the open window. The simple white curtains flowed in and out with each breath of air. She turned over in the bed, which was like a cloud, white and fluffy.

He couldn't help but admire her figure, covered mostly by one of his own t-shirts. She liked sleeping in them. She rolled towards him, the sun dancing across her hair in shimmering waves.

She smiled at him; a few loose strands of her hair fell across her face. He pushed them behind her ear before grabbing her in an embrace.

"What's this for?" She questioned him but relaxed in his arms.

"It's just because." He took in the warm scent of her hair. She let him hold her fro what seemed like an eternity. Just resting there, in the bed, is this what heaven feels like?

"Because," he continued, "because I want you to know I'm always going to be here for you."

She smiled, her eyes closed, though he couldn't see her look of appreciation.

"Thank you."
