Little Moments
Here's some maltara fluff for you all!
the setting is at Mal and Natara's wedding! :) enjoy! and review please!
"Hey everybody, I hope you all are enjoying yourselves today, and I would like to thank everyone for coming out to celebrate this very special day with us." Mal announced to his guests on the small stage at their reception. After a small clap from the guests, Mal turned around, and picked up a guitar.
" Now, uh, I don't normally do this... Especially not in front of people. But I'll like to share with you a little song I wrote for my beautiful wife." he said while strumming a few strings, tuning the guitar. A few shouts rose up from the crowd, those who knew him, knew that he was a good singer, but didn't like to sing in front of others.
Mal looked over to where Natara sat, a look of a bit of amusement played on her face. Mal didn't blame her, he never sang, even in front of her.
"Well, uh, here I go." Mal stated with a chuckle.
"Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
Natara was already blushing when Mal finished this verse, she remembers what happened that night. She was driving Mal's brand new truck, and wasn't really paying attention to the spacing between her and a tree. A tree, of all things. She floored it in reverse and BAM, right into a tree. She instantly let out some obscenity before she realized it, and quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment, before calling out to Mal to see if he was alright. He was more than alright, he was laughing his butt off at Natara's small mistake, while she was constantly apologizing for crashing the truck.
"Well that's just like this last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
By now, Natara was blushing uncontrollably, remembering that day perfectly.
It was Mals birthday, she was home "sick" and planning on surprising him with a birthday cake. Little did she know, he was going to come home early that day. the cake was still in the oven when he came home, and Natara became distracted from baking due to an intense make-out session with the birthday boy. She forgot all about the birthday cake until the smoke detectors went off. She instantly jumped off the couch and sprinted to the kitchen, to find a burnt birthday cake in the oven.
Mal rushed in and found Natara almost in tears at the sight of the burnt birthday cake. He instantly went over to her and wrapped her in a tight embrace.
"I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that"
Mal finished his song, and was immediately embraced by a now-crying Natara, as the guests cheered louder than you could've imagined for the crowd of that size.
And they lived happily ever after..
