Nina Gordon's new song just hit me as a great addition to Eternity of Blood, so consider this a side story, even though it could also double as it's own song fic. If you haven't read EoB, then know this: Duo is half-vampire, half-necromancer, and Heero is a full vampire. For those who have read EoB, then this takes place between chapters 10 and 11.
Oh yeah, and all characters belong to their original owners, blah blah blah, disclaimers and that kind of crap apply, yada, yada... Nina Gordon owns the song "Tonight And The Rest Of My Life."
Down to the earth I fell
With dripping wings,
Heavy things won't fly
My dreams always either scared me, or told the future. But this dream was neither. I was falling, my angel wings failing me. I had wings? What the hell did I have for dinner last night? Anyway, my wings couldn't save me. Why? Because they were dripping with crimson blood. My once white angel wings, the symbol of purity and innocence were dyed red. I saw the earth come rushing up towards me, too fast for my liking.
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world
Suddenly, I flew back up, my wings taking me up of their own accord. I wasn't even in control of my wings much less where I was going. I flew back up, back up into the sky, where I could see the horizon. And it was on fire. My entire line of sight was covered with the heat of the flames, burning my world into a cinder.
That's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eye
I awoke, a cold sweat drenching my bangs to my face. The afternoon sun had crept in through the curtains, shining in my eyes. I grumbled and started to get up to fix the curtain. But a hand stopped me. I looked over at Heero, my fallen angel of death. "Why don't you use your powers?" he asked. I smiled and shrugged. "I guess old habits die hard," I joked, and I pointed at the curtains. They shifted close, and the light no longer entered our dark room.
I feel so light
This is all I wanna feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
I had created what he was, and yet, I still feel giddy and happy to see him every time I wake up. To see him was the light in my life. He took me into his arms and cuddled me, his warmth and power flowing over my body like soft silk. It tingled up my arms, through my body and even into my toes. I never wanted to feel anything else but this.
Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breathlessly
I fell asleep in Heero's embrace, and drifted into another dream. This time, I was on a beach at sunset. I was barefoot, in just a ragged pair of black cutoffs and a torn white T-shirt. The sand beneath my feet was midnight blue, and the water that washed upon the coast was liquid ink. I closed my dream eyes and felt the energy hum throughout the land, the sea and the waves. I let it flow into me, lifting me up into the air. I flew over to the wave's edge, dipping my toes into the lukewarm water. It was a strange sensation, floating like this. I never could do it. I could leap up to the top of buildings, and slow a fall, but fly? No, not me.
When the dream dissolves I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
Weightlessness is passing over me
I woke up again when it was dark. It was time to get up. I opened the curtain with the flick of a wrist, and looked out into the black sky. It was studded with stars, looking for all the world like a rich woman's black velvet dress embedded with diamonds. I felt that same energy pass over me, like in my dream. I felt light and giddy, invigorated with the power of the night.
I feel so light
This is all I wanna feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
I felt Heero wrap his arms around me from behind. I shared my energy with him, listening to his heartbeat in the silence. He nuzzled my neck, and gently bit down, drawing some blood from my neck. He lapped it up with his tongue, slowly, sensuously.
Everthing is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms
I pulled him forward, dragging him into my lap, his head resting there facing up at me. He looked up at me, his eyes sparkling blue like sapphires. Heero was my everything, my one and only. My entire universe revolved around him.
I feel so alive
This is all I wanna feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
We left my house and walked through the forest. He suddenly picked me up, and we were flying through the air. I snuggled into his chest while we flew above the trees, taking in the night life. The sound of owls, insects and the wind rustling through the trees filled me with life. I've never felt so alive, so free. This is all I want to feel, tonight and the rest of my life.
