Ratigan went into his room with a sigh, shutting the door and sliding down to the floor.
Today, Isabelle asked if he could teach her to dance, preferably the waltz. He, of course, said yes and she put on soft music.
They then started to dance.
Ratigan was a little worried because Isabelle was so small compared to him; he wasn't so sure if he could dance correctly with her petite form, but he was wrong. She stumbled a little bit, but she caught on quickly. It felt so intimate, her body flushed against his, with them softly smiling at each other.
Isabelle was distracted by a phone call and that gave him the opportunity to retreat to his room. He chastised himself again for getting too close to her. It felt odd; he kept trying to distance himself from Isabelle, yet it just brought her closer to him.
Ratigan just shook her head and fooled around with a small radio Isabelle got for him and Basil. He got to a station where they were playing soft rock music; the tone he recognized from a band called Nickleback. He wasn't such a fan of this type of music, but right now, he'll settle for anything.
You call to me, and I fall at your feet
How could anyone ask for more?
And our time apart, like knives in my heart
How could anyone ask for more?
Ratigan closed his eyes as his foot tapped to the beat. He thought this band was a little bland, but they have a good beat and sound.
But if there's a pill to help me forget,
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to
Isabelle was the one who introduced him to a variety of music. She tried to do the same to Basil, but she found it harder to connect to the mouse. It was his stern attitude that was the problem. Ratigan just shook his head as he listened to the chorus.
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far
Trying not to need you, is tearing me apart
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cause trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
Only makes me love you more
….Its official.
The universe hates Ratigan.
Here he was, trying to forget his feelings for Isabelle and this song came up.
Curse this song.
And this kind of pain, only time takes away
That's why it's harder to let you go
And nothing I can do, without thinking of you
That's why it's harder to let you go
As Ratigan listened to the chorus again, he wondered if his feelings for Isabelle were actually deeper then he thought.
Was he actually in love with her, like the song says?
So I sit here divided, just talking to myself
Was it something that I did?
Was there somebody else?
When a voice from behind me, that was fighting back tears
Sat right down beside me, and whispered right in my ear
Tonight I'm dying to tell you
Ratigan sighed, suddenly feeling very tired. His emotions were rolling high and he suddenly had the urge to claim Isabelle. He wanted to kiss her, love her, hold her, and touch her. God, he just wanted to do so much to her, but he forced those feelings down.
She was not meant to be his.
That trying not to love you, only went so far
Trying not to need you, was tearing me apart
Now I see the silver lining, from what we're fighting for
And if we just keep on trying, we could be much more
'Cause trying not to love you
Oh, yeah, trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
Only makes me love you more
As the song faded, Ratigan put his head in his hands, confused more than ever about his feelings for Isabelle.
AN: A song chapter, wooo!
Yes, Ratigan, the universe is trying to tell you something!
I got inspired when I heard this song on youtube and I was like; Holy shit, this is the perfect song for Ratigan and his feelings for Isabelle. The song is called "Trying not to Love you." By Nickleback; listen to it, it's great!
Again, I think waltzing is a very intimate dance. It's such a nice dance.
Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved I don't own GMD or Nickleback, just Isabelle!
