A/N: I absolutely adore this song!
I know I've done this pairing already,
but this song just reminds me
of them. :)
I swear to you
I'll be there
for you.
This is not a
Drive By.
With his hands tucked in his scarlet jacket pocket, Gold shuffled down the streets of Viridian, namesake eyes trained on the side walk, purposefully stepping over each crack. He neared the street corner and finally looked up from the concrete. Cars zoomed past on the busy road, the pedestrian crossing sign neon red. Gold sighed and shifted his weight, waiting for his turn to cross the street without getting run over by a passing car. (Not getting run over sure would be nice, he mused.)
Looking past the road, Gold almost gasped aloud. Parallel to him was a small girl with golden locks pulled into a ponytail. She had her attention trained on a paperback book, nodding her head to the beat of music only availabe to her via the pink headphones resting in each ear. She sat on a wooden bench with legs crossed.
"Yellow?" Gold murmmured, unusually quiet. Not that it mattered; she wouldn't hear him over her music.
But this girl had on a candy pink skirt on, a white tank-top resting on her bare shoulders. Gold sighed, certain that his missing Yellow wouldn't be caught dead in such a girl attire. Blue maybe, heck, maybe even Crystal. But not Yellow. Not his lovely Yellow.
Besides, Yellow was long gone, somewhere off chasing stars and counting clouds. Places to explore were there wasn't Gold, leaving him behind to shake off his prescence.
Gold sighed heavily and turned away from the girl, ignoring the pedestrian sign -now green- and kciking the ground aimlessly. He couldn't help but think of their last night together, swaddled up in a blanket near a lonley campfire burning in the night like a beacon. But it was her honey eyes that burned brighter...

"So you like Yellow, huh?" Crys teased, wagginng a finger back and forth in Gold's face with a smirk etched on her lips.
"What's it to ya?" Gold demanded, turning slighty red, his face starting to feel hot.
"Just do me favor." Silver growled. "Don't you dare ruin her innocence. Or I will kill you." Gold recalled how fond of the Healer Silver was, coming to love her like a little sister after she helped him find his father. Gold also recalled with a frown how protective Silver could be of certain girls that Gold had taken likings to. And how he always followed up on such threats.
"Psh-lease." Gold chuckled, turning his sound of annoyance into a 'please'. "'Sides, how'd you find out?"
"Gold, your feelings for her are practically viral." Crys laughed, ruffling his already unruly jet-black hair.
"Of course." the Breeder sighed, snickering darkly.
…
"Yellow, please-"
"Gold." she pleaded, eyes large and begging. "I guess, uh, guess I'll see you around." she coughed awkwardly, placing her bags in the trunk of the taxi. The Healer cast one last glance at her former lover, opened her mouth as if to say something then dissapeared into the yellow cab.
With every second she drove away from him, Gold's heart continued to grow heavier with pain.
"I love you." he whispered to no one but the crows picking at the ground by his feet.
...
"Gold?"
The Breeder whipped around, her voice sweet and warm against the winter air. There she stood before him, in all her beautiful glory, tunic and all. Without saying a word, he engulfed her in hug, wrapping his arms around her little frame. He pressed her close to him, taking in her lovely scent, roses and vanilla.
"Gold!" she protested, gasping for air.
"Yellow." he breathed, letting her go. He caressed her cheek, rosy in the chilly atmosphere.
"It's good to see you, Gold." Yellow nodded curtly, holding out a hand to shake as if they were newly met strangers.
The boy scoffed and pulled her into a kiss.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"If I ever leave you again, just know that there's only reason." Gold whispered, pulling Yellow close to him, wrapping his arms arounf her torso, pressing her tight against his chest.
"And what would that be?" She laughed lightly, wind chimes on the gale.
"Just to wrap my head around the fact that you're actually mine."
"Oh." She hummed, turning cherry red.
Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you.
This is not a Drive By, just a shy guy
Looking for a two ply, hefty bag to hold my love.
When you move me, everything is groovy.
They don't like it, sue me.
Mmm, the way you do me.
Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you.
This is not Drive By.
A.N.: Drive By, Train. Amazing song! I cut this piece off short, rushed the ending, but whatever. At least it's an update. Morganiteshipping coming up soon, I promise!
Oh, any Little Monsters out there excited for the Born This Way Ball? :)
