The Swedish Job Pt.1

Y/n pov:

1943 is the year, I've officially been here for a decade. Woo. I'm now technically 40, but I look 20 something.

My singing career had taken off and I've started playing in clubs/bars. Practically anywhere that'll take me. Tonight I go on stage to sing. The normal.

I'm standing backstage shaking. Hands are sweating, legs are wobbly. No matter how many times I do it it never changes.

I hesitantly walk put and I'm blinded by the lights. I walk up to the mic and start singing my popular song. "It's been a long, long time." I close my eyes and begin.

Never thought that you would be
Standing here so close to me
There's so much I feel that I should say
But words can wait until some other day

I open my eyes and scan the audience. My eyes fall upon a man, who looks just like five oddly enough. I couldn't look away from him.

Kiss me once, then kiss me twice, then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time

At this point it appears that I'm singing for him. To him rather. He smiles at me from the audience and I blush and turn away. Only to look back at him again.

You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you

I walk down from off the stage to the man. I look him in the eyes and grab his hand with my open one.

So kiss me once, then kiss me twice, then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time

With his hand in mine I begin to dance with him as the instruments play. We do small dances but our eyes never left eachothers. It was a glorious night.

1950

Aiden and I have been together for seven years and married for five. In 1944 we had our kids. We named them Klaus Robert l/n, and Ben Justin L/n After my brothers naturally. They loved the stories of the Seance and Ben. Coincidentally they each loved the opposite person's stories of who they were named after. Klaus loved Ben's story, and Ben loved Klauses

Turns out, Aiden is actually a musician too and accidentally stumbled across my show. Since we've gotten married we made many songs together. "Meet Me At Our Spot" and "Me and My Husband". We made more but those are our favorites.

1953

It's been a rough year. Earlier this year Klaus passed away of Measles at age 9. I did everything I could. I can only think that he could've survived in the future. Aiden was distant for awhile and we both stopped making songs. We went on a short hiatus to recover. Ben was heartbroken.

1955

Aiden enlisted into the army. Ben was 11. We were both nervous and worried. But we had hopes he'd make it back alive. He'd signed up for a year of active duty. To fight on the front lines.

1956

Ben and I got a message in the mail today. He was gone. He wasn't coming back. But Ben didn't need to deal with that pain. I bottled that part of me up. I simply told him he'd be gone a bit longer than expected. I'll tell him the truth when he's older.

1963

Ben's 19 and living his best life, he travels with me and loves meeting new people. He thinks what I do is cool. Even as a kid he loved what I did because I was considered magic. He's no different now. He marvels at what I can do. I'm so proud of him. I just hope one day he can meet his family.
