I don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you, baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

He kept his eyes open, looking at her silently. Despite the weary, sleepy feeling that over took him he kept himself awake. He didn't know how he would survive, missing her so. So he lie there, remembering every aspect. She slept soundly with his arms wrapped around her, snuggled close.

Occasionally she would stir slightly, her hazel eyes flashing momentarily in the line of light across them. They breathed in unison, steady and clam, a way that was soothing to the ears. It would've been easy to let dreams over take him, but they weren't nearly as amazing as the way he was now.

He was sort of in an in between, half asleep and half awake. A dull ringing clouded his ears, making him sure he wouldn't hear anyone speaking. Their breathing echoed lightly, rivaling the ring. His eyes were oblivious to anything but their being. He had blocked almost everything out without meaning to, to where he had no sense what so ever as to where the light on her face came from.

Sometimes he had felt as if he was in a dream anyway. He knew it wasn't, none of his dreams could even come close to his reality. It was strange, how things happened. Everything was horrible one moment and wonderful beyond reason the next. Perhaps that was a reason why he liked hockey so much, it reflected that concept.

Her stirring was trying to bring him back to the correct reality, the one where he would have to leave soon. It was unnerving, he would miss so much. He didn't want to miss anything, any little detail. Even in dreams he couldn't come close to his soon to be forgotten reality. And that knowledge alone would have him on edge, ready to bolt back in an instant at the slightest thing.

"Hey," she murmured sleepily, her voice now clouding his thoughts, "You better not be going to sleep on me." He smiled lightly, mimicking her. Her hazel eyes reflected his own, a shimmer of both mixed together.

"You're the one who went to sleep on me," he replied, laying his head on her shoulder, causing that contact to be broken. It was intense; something one would like to escape. Even as it was broken, he found that he would long for it.

"But you can't go to sleep now that I'm awake," she giggled slightly, "It's your own fault you didn't while I slept." She rolled herself over to face him rather than the wall and door.

"I can't sleep anyway," he said quietly, brushing stray locks of her hair away.

"Why's that?" She questioned, now having pulled herself to sit on top of him.

"Reality's better than any dream," he responded. She smiled, propping herself up with her elbows on his chest.

"I know plenty of people who would disagree with that statement," she sleepily looked down at him, her eyes half closed.

"I'm not one of those people though," he made to sit up, causing her to, her knees somewhat under her.

"I should hope not," she laughed, "Even you don't contradict yourself that quickly." She pulled herself in closer to him.

"I don't want to miss anything," he stated. She looked at him, bringing the intense trance back.

"You won't," she lightly kissed him, "You couldn't." He gazed at her, confused.

"How's that?"

"Nothing that you would miss could happen with out you being here," she murmured, before losing herself in his kiss. He knew it wouldn't be half as worth it when the time came, but he was certain that this would be in his dreams for the longest time after.

Pav to finish the Conehead line. X3; Well, as much as I hate to say this, I'm going to be gone for a week. Eep, I shall go hide in a dark corner. I do plan on writing some, but I have to finish my summer reading (I mean have). I hope to have Dave for Emador and O.C. for Kristine, and possibly another Mark one by the time I'm back. Expect a few by Sunday night at the latest. Anybody else that you're looking for? What do you guys think about Cox? I think I have a pretty good idea for him if anybody wants it.

Kliona: I know what you mean. It's weird. Thanks for your review!

Christina: It's nice to know I'm making one-shots grow on you :3 (Besides, that's about all I can produce). Thanks!

Kristine: That's so cool! Thanks so much!

Emador: I will get to your Dave one; I just had to do Pav today. I love the rain (it's raining right now!). Goodness knows, I do, I think I killed my LJ with rain stories. XD; Thanks!

darkdestiny2000: Thanks, I shall certainly try! I don't think you'll be missing much at camp.

Another note before I leave, meep. I'm posting another one-shot, entitled As The World Turns (I promise I've never heard of that show before, or if I did I honestly don't remember), a somewhat angsty reflective type piece. :3 Please give me feedback on that!

Please R&R!
