Songfic( I don't wanna miss a thing- Aerosmith)
Thank you, lazah for the inspiration and song suggestion... If you have any concrit, it's welcome :)
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
Anthony’s breath flows slow, steady. A smile tugs at his lips as he sighs contentedly. I wonder what lies in his dreams. I can’t help but wonder, is it me? I know that when I dream, it’s only Anthony.
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Even asleep, Anthony is lazy. He stretches languidly, arm contracting around my waist. A sudden light flashed over the wall, like headlights from a car passing by. It feels strange to know that the world is living normally outside, time still moving, even though we are in a moment I wish would last forever. I look up at my beloved Anthony, memorizing every plane of his face. He murmurs something under his breath, and from watching his full lips move, I know he is dreaming of me. Ian
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
I can’t close my eyes. I fight the tides of sleep, threatening to move me away. I won’t miss a single second of Anthony. We hardly have any time to be alone. From 7-10 it’s Smosh. Often later. The line of work that I’ve chosen doesn’t really leave a whole lot of time for a relationship. But my live-in boyfriend/coworker/motivator makes it hard to RESIST having a relationship despite the complications of no alone time. I had to monopolize Anthony’s free time. Right now, I was ecstatic to watch him sleep, the lazy ass that holds my heart.
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
And I don't want to miss a thing
My dreams are full of love; shining like the fabled “light at the end of the tunnel” you see when you die. Despite the created perfection of dreams, real life was so much better. Not even kidding. Dreams can’t even come close to the natural, beautiful perfection called life. I couldn’t stand to leave him. I wanted to remember every breath he took, every word he spoke, forever. It was going to affect my sleep habits, but I wanted to remember every second that I could.
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
I lay my head on Anthony’s chest, listening to his heart thrum. I wonder to his dreams, to what his brilliant mind could think up to enjoy in the safety of his own mind. As close as we were, I couldn’t read his mind. He murmurs words, a broken sentence. He leaves me to fill in the gaps.
“Ian…Love...”
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
I leave my mark, a feather-light kiss on each of his shut eyes. I feel the alien-ness of his eyeballs moving in their sockets, moving under my lips. I laugh quietly as his breath catches in his throat. I settle back into his embrace, finding his hand at my hip. I struggle to cramp myself closer to Anthony, because I lost his heartbeat. I missed its gentle rhythm in my ear, the heat against my face.
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
And I don't want to miss a thing
I know it’s crazy. But I need to have every second with Anthony that I can. I miss him when I sleep. I love him. I am perfectly content to watch Anthony sleep on, oblivious to my creepy habits. I’ve tried to break myself, even by occasionally sleeping away from him. But my night isn’t complete without watching him be it cuddling with him or standing by the door, ready to bolt at waking’s first sign.
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
While I would prefer him to be awake, I love this moment I have with him. It’s like my exhausted mind is a camera, snapping every smile, every time I gently kiss him, before trying/failing to go to sleep. I don’t want to miss anything. I nuzzle into his bare chest, listening to his breath cycle, his thrumming heartbeat.
“I love you…” I whisper in the silence of our darkened bedroom. He groans something unintelligible, hugging me even closer to his chest.
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah
I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing the soft, warm skin there. He moans in his sleep, eyes flickering open, settling on my face. He smiles, kissing my forehead. “That was a nice way to wake up…”
“Ssh. Ssh. Go back to sleep, baby. I’ll be here in the morning.”
“Ian... I don’t want to go back to sleep. I want to stay awake with my beloved insomniac.”
He moves so his forehead is pressed against mine, breaths comingling in the few inches between our open mouths. His face melds into the shadows, but his eyes shine, light in the dark.
I don’t want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
And I don't want to miss a thing
We lay awake, whispering sweet nothings in the eerie quiet of our home. I can’t think of blinking. For those split seconds, is the only time I have legible thoughts. Every other second, I was locked in an intense stare down with my lover.
“I love you.” He said tiredly. He wants to sleep, but he still wants to spend this valuable time with me.
“I love you too.” I’m exhausted, eyes slightly unfocused due to my last few hours of staring at Anthony.
“Go to sleep, love. We both need our rest. You, especially, my little insomniac.” For once, I’m happy to close my eyes, with my Anthony holding me securely to his chest.
And I don't want to miss a thing
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
Anthony’s breath flows slow, steady. A smile tugs at his lips as he sighs contentedly. I wonder what lies in his dreams. I can’t help but wonder, is it me? I know that when I dream, it’s only Anthony.
