Disclaimer: Yeah right, If I owned it would I be writing this? I don’t
think so.
Description: Set during/after “Departure” – Season 2. Missing
scenes sort of thing. Kinda dark, but necessary to portray the state of mind
they’re in.
Author’s Notes: This is what I thought of while watching the episode.
The body language and the seriousness of what was going on made me think of
what could have been happening in Maria and Michael’s minds at the time.
Please. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
The drive home flashed by before Michael and Maria could register that they
had left the desert at all. The next thing Maria knew they were at Michael’s
apartment, Michael beside her fumbling with the keys. Finally he gave up and
used his ‘Samantha-genie powers’. Maria smiled to herself at the
thought. The two were silent as they walked into the apartment that still looked
as it did when they left. Maria looked around before turning to Michael. She
looked into his eyes and couldn’t hold it anymore. The tears that had
threatened to spill since he whispered to her,
“We're leaving in a few hours. We have to, I have no choice. I don't want
to leave you. But we both knew someday this would happen”, spilled down
her cheeks. Michael reached forward, slipping an arm around her waist; he pulled
her to him. He slowly ran his hands up and down her back soothingly.
“Shhh, baby, everything’s going to be ok, I’m here and I’m
not going anywhere”. Michael whispered in her ear trying to calm her.
Maria smiled and pulled back to look into his eyes.
Michael moved one hand from her back to wipe away her tears. Slowly he moved
in closer and captured her lips with his. Maria relaxed into his embrace and
returned the kiss. The kiss became very passionate, the two only pulling apart
when the need for air presented itself.
“I love you” Maria whispered breathlessly. Michael stared at her
in awe.
“I know… I love you too” he gently placed his hands on either
side of her face and again kissed her. The two began to back towards his bedroom.
Clothes began to be removed, as the couple became more and more passionate.
Michael lay Maria down on the bed and crawled on beside her. He stopped for
a moment and just looked into her eyes. She was mesmerising; there she lay,
staring up at him with so much love, Maria, his Maria. He said something then,
caught up in the magic of her eyes that came from deep within his heart.
“What did I ever do that was so great, to ever deserve you?” Maria
smiled at him.
“I was just thinking the same thing… Spaceboy”
“I promise, I will never ever leave you again. I love you so much”
Maria thought she was going to cry again. Here was Michael, her Michael confessing
his love for her, she was beaming.
“I love you too, more than you’ll ever know” Michael leaned
down and kissed her again. Maria saw stars, not the alien-flashy kind just the
kind that comes from loving someone so much that they’re oxygen and you
don’t know how you ever breathed without them.
They began to move together, as one. This time the flashes Maria saw were of
the supernatural kind. She saw everything that had happened in the last 24 hours
and couldn’t believe how lucky she was. At the same moment Michael saw
what he always did whenever he saw into Maria’s soul, love. As they climaxed
together Michael caught Maria’s mouth in an unbelievable kiss, swallowing
her screams of pleasure.
Michael pulled Maria into his arms and ran his hand up and down the length of
her arm. He kissed her forehead lovingly and smiled to himself. He couldn’t
help himself any longer.
“Maria?”
“Yeah baby” God he loved that.
“Sing to me” Maria smiled, she thought for a moment that she probably
should be worried about her friends but she just couldn’t. Even as guilty
as it made her feel, she really didn't care about the others, as long as she
had Michael that's all that mattered.
“Of course baby, and go to sleep, I’ll be right here when you wake
up”
“Promise?”
“I promise” She smiled as she leaned in to kiss him softly before
beginning to sing her lover to sleep with the voice of what Michael was sure
was an Angel.
“One thing I'm sure of is
That we will always be
Even though the road seems
To get a little rough
It's for you I live I can do anything
And it will never be too much.
In my darkest hour you are
There to light the way
And when I’m down you
Always lift me up again
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You know me
Better than I know myself
You comfort me and let me know
With you I'm gonna win
Walk with me hand in hand
We will help each other
Understand how to go through
There will never be a day
That we'll grow apart
So we'll forever be
Together hand in hand”
Michael drifted off to sleep, her voice soothing him in to what would prove to be the best sleep of his life. Maria lay awake for a while just watching him, feeling his arms tight around her. Finally it hit her, the reality of the situation, and she was in heaven. There he was, lying in her arms, asleep. Staying for her. Staying for them and the only thing either of them ever wanted. Love!
“Sometimes I'm wrong
And even in that case
You didn't go away you
Stayed right next to me
As time goes on I realise
That you're for me
And I will love you for eternity”
