Sorry for such a long wait! I was lost and I didn't know where to go! Then as I was listening to the song Come by Namie Amuro it all became clear! The lyrics I the story are in English…obviously…but the song is sung in Japanese. I hope you enjoy it and love reading it as much as I liked writing it! And please review it!
Scorpius was startled. He had been sitting on the window pane and looking out at the stars. He did this quite often, even before anything had happened. Gazing out at the sky made him feel normal again. He was looking for his constellation, but lately he couldn't seem to find it. It was as if the Heavens were mourning his loss with him. But he didn't like to be pitied. It made him feel inferior in some twisted way.
He heard Rose starting to stir from her bed. Rose was quite unwell. She would scribble in notebooks all day and nap and then scribble all night. At first the sound had been annoying but after a bit it became soothing and it often helped him to fall asleep. He enjoyed it and waited for Rose to start. But after a few minutes he realized that she was quiet. He looked her way and saw that she was staring out the window. He made eye contact with Rose and she smiled at him.
Rose got up and out of bed and walked up to Scorpius. She climbed up to sit on the sill and gaze outward. Scorpius' eyes were on her, and by the color filling in her cheeks, she knew it too.
If sorrow is overflowing now,
It's alright to lean on me and cry.
"Rose…." It was all that could escape his lips. But it was enough to call her attention to him. She was crying silently. It hurt him to know that she was feeling the pain that he was experiencing. She was too sweet and delicate to be that crushed. He reached for her cheeks and wiped the tears away.
I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming
Rose jumped when Scorpius touched her cheeks, causing him to pull away, but Rose was simply shocked. She had never had anyone touch her in that manner before and it was something she liked. She reached out for his face and traced his jaw line and moved her fingers up to run her hands through his silky platinum blonde hair. She was nervous, what if she touched him wrong. But one look into Scorpius' eyes quelled her fears. He placed his hands on the neck and ran them down the length of her leaving goose bumps where his hands were once touching. He stopped at her waist and pulled he closer into him.
Stay just like this.
They were tightly embracing that neither wanted to get out of. Rose felt for the first time, relief. It was as if he knew what was going on in her head and she loved it. Scorpius on the other hand, needed the close contact. He would never in anyway receive this from another living soul. Unless he was married and her knew that the only woman he would dream of marring was the one in his arms.
Come my way
Darkness is all around
Come close to me...
Now with the light of dusk,
I'll be with you, I'll be with you...
So I'm at your side.
Rose looked up at handsome face she gave little acknowledgement to over the years at Hogwarts. She wondered why? He was good looking and his arms were strong and nicely cut from playing beater on the Quidditch team. They were holding her tightly as if they were afraid to let her go. And she secretly hoped they never would.
I realize that you're just the only one
who is important to me in this world.
He had a pointed chin and she reached up to place her lips at the tip. It was now Scorpius' turn to jump. He looked down intently at Rose and brought his lips within centimeters of hers. He hesitated to ravish her as he so constantly did in his dreams. Was it because he knew that he could never really do what he dreamed up.
I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming
He closed the space between their lips and prayed that Rose wouldn't mind his lack of experience. Rose had the same thoughts flowing through her mind. It was really quite endearing, that they were truly each other's firsts. They deepened the kiss as Scorpius allowed his tongue to invade Rose's perfect mouth. He brushed past her teeth and found his target. He flicked it and Rose responded. She loved the new sensations that coursed through her body. It made her feel alive again.
Stay just like that.
She pulled away from him to breathe, and rested her face against his heart. It was beating like a jackhammer. And to know that she had caused it! Scorpius knew that from this day forward, Rose was his. And she might be just what he needed to continue with life and to give him hope that he could be whole again and even have a family. He smiled just knowing that.
Come my way...
Close your eyes
Come close to me...
It's alright if you sleep, because
I'll be with you, I'll be with you...
Rose didn't want leave him ever. He was perfect. Besides the fact that she knew nothing of him, she did know that if anyone could make her feel that good and safe at the same time he was worth making it work. Rose froze at the realization of her last thought. She wondered how he felt about her.
I'm right here.
So come my way.
Calling out,
Can you hear me?
Yeah...
So come my way.
He looked down at the girl in his arms and was wondering how she felt. He had to speak to her before she got the wrong idea about him or about what had just taken place.
"Rose. If you didn't know by now, I really like you. And I hope you feel the same way. I want you to be mine, forever. Because no one has captured my attention quite like you have." He was nervous and he whispered every word he had said. He prayed she would accept his offer. It was the first time he had ever asked anyone out.
I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming
She was intrigued. She knew that he liked her but she thought it was more of an infatuation and simply a desire to be with her. Closing her eyes she inhaled deeply. She might just pass out from all that was going on. As she leaned forward into Scorpius' rock solid chest, she figured she hadn't answered his question yet. "Yes."
Stay just like this.
That was it. Yes. It was simple and to the point. So very Rose, and for him to expect anything different was insane. But she had very well given him the answer he had wanted to hear. He held her tighter and brought her face up to his once again. He kissed her once more and watched her while he kissed her, and she was watching him. He simply couldn't get enough of her.
Come my way
Come close to me
~*~*~*~
Scorpius woke from his dream. He was numb. He couldn't remember a thing. The sun was just starting to rise and he remembered his dream. It was just a dream and nothing more. He wanted to cry because that would only ever happen to him. He looked over and saw Rose asleep in her bed. Where else would she be? Not next to him, she wasn't like that not in the least. He got up and washed his face off. And then he went back to his bed and sat on the edge. He was tired of doing homework here and staying in here and just being in here. Roses' brother left Two days earlier because he was showing signs of coping and coming to terms with the death, however him and Rose had yet to be dismissed. He startled by Rose passing by him to wash her face by the sinks as well. He wished that dream really was real. He wished he could grab her and snog her senseless right on his bed. But that was not to be. He just wasn't meant to be with Rose. And that hurt him so much especially after the vivid dream he had just had. He put his head in his hands and rubbed his eyes, incessantly trying to remove the images of Rose his mind had cooked up. And he jumped when a delicate pair of hands was trying to pry his hands away from his eyes. Was it real?
Rose pressed her lips to his and he knew that his amazing dream wasn't a dream at all. It was simply a little piece of heaven in a trying time.
