Alright listen, I legitimately can't find a song to switch with Since I saw Vienna, so if you have a recommendation TELL ME PLEASE. I need something similar to it and it needs to have like a name in it or something like that. Thanks love you pookies :)

Thea loved the play. She loved how the actors would flow through the performance so effortlessly, even when a couple things went wrong. Currently it was the intermission and Thea was just leaving the bathroom when she had seen one of the guards. Her eyes widened before she quickly hid behind a group of people as the guard walked by. Once he was out of her sight she ran off towards Ted. "Thea, I got us some waters." He smiled before noticing the panicked look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"We have to go. There's guards here and if they see me they're going to take me." She rushed and Ted's eyes went wide.

"Yeah, okay. Let me tell Kristin and Phil before we leave." Ted said as he started to walk away.

"Hurry please." She told him and he nodded. Thea stood by the exit waiting for Ted to show. As she was waiting she saw the same guard again. In a panic, she ran. It probably wasn't the best idea, but it was all she had so she went with it.

Ted came out of the theater and walked towards the exit where he expected Thea to be waiting. To his shock, she was gone. When he looked around the area he saw a guard and he realized what must've happened. She got panicked and ran, he couldn't blame her he would've done the same. He ran out in search for her. He soon saw a woman running out to a field, so he chased after her. He knew it was Thea since he could never get her off his mind. "Thea!" He shouted.

Thea had no idea who was shouting after her, but she figured it wasn't a guard since they would've called her princess or Theadosia. She turned around and saw the familiar tall brunette. "Teddy." She sighed as she stopped running. "Did they see you?" She asked once he caught up to her.

"No, they didn't see me." He said placing his hands on her shoulders to make sure she was okay. "C'mon let's go back to the house, I told Kristin and Phil that you weren't feeling right." Ted said as they turned back to head towards the house.

It was quiet for a while, neither of them knew what to say. Or if there was anything to say. "I'm sorry." Thea finally spoke, not bothering to look at Ted. "And don't say not to apologize. Ever since I've been around you I've just made your life harder. I dragged you through the woods, I burden you with my problems, I am sleeping in your brothers room making him sleep in your bed with you, and I just made you leave a play I know you were excited to see."

"Thea, don't apologize. You have not made my life harder in the slightest. You have made it worth living if I'm honest." Ted said as they started walking closer to the house. "Go put on comfortable clothes and meet me outside on the back porch." He said as he opened the door for her. She nodded and headed to her room. Ted headed to his room and changed into comfortable clothes. He grabbed his guitar and headed outside to the back porch, tuning the instrument while he waited for Thea.

"You're gonna play me a song?" Thea asked as she sat down in the spot next to him, leaving the back door open.

"Yep. I've written a few, some better than others. This one is one of my favorites though, it's called 'Since I saw Vienna'." He smiled softly at her before he started to strum his guitar. Thea felt like her ears had been blessed by the strumming alone, but when she heard his voice she felt like she was listening to an angle sing.

"The cute bomber jacket you've had since sixth form
Adorned with patches of places you've been
Is nothing on my khaki coat I got
From a roadside when I was sixteen
My boots are from airports
My backpack's from friends
I'm not a man of substance, and so I'll pretend
To be a wanderer, wondering
Leaving ascetic belongings in hostels and restaurant bins" Ted sang, looking up to Thea to see her reaction. She had her eyes closed, with a content smile on her face as she lightly swayed to the song.

"The roads are my home, horizon's my target
If I keep on moving, never lose sight of it
Treating my memory of you like a fire, let it
Burn out, don't fight it, and try to move on
It's been sixty weeks since I saw Vienna
A bandage and a wide smile slapped across my face
I'll pick up my hiking boots when I am ready
And I'll put down my roots when I'm dead" When Ted wrote the song he never wanted to settle down because he never found someone to settle with. When he met Thea he knew that the previous lyric was false. He would put down his roots wherever she put down hers.

"The distance is futile
Come on, don't be hasty
You'll get that feeling deep inside your bones
I'll be gone then, for when you must be alone" Ted didn't feel like looking up to Thea, afraid of how she would react. 

"Ted, that was...amazing." She said causing him to look at her with light blush on his cheeks.

"Really?" He asked. Usually when he plaid that specific song people would tell him it was terrible or something he should never play again.

"Yeah! I mean the lyrics are so well written that I could picture it in my head. Your voice is so gentle yet it packs so much power. I could listen to it on repeat and never get tired of it." She smiled at him.

"Thank you Thea." He said placing his guitar next to him and holding her hand. They sat in silence as they began to look into each others eyes.

Thea loved Ted's chocolate brown eyes. She loved that in the morning the sun would hit just right and the dark brown would lighten making them look like pools of honey. Then her eyes looked down to his lips, 'have they always looked that soft?' She thought to herself.

Ted loved Thea's hazel eyes. He loved the marriage of warm honey hues and deep caramels. He couldn't explain why or how when he just looked into her eyes he just felt warm and fuzzy. Then his eyes looked down to her lips, 'have they always looked that kissable?' He thought to himself.

The two didn't realize they had begun to lean in. They didn't realize that as they got closer their eyes began to close. They didn't realize how close they were until they felt each other's breath warm their face. They didn't realize it until a banging on the front door caused them to jump apart as their eyes shot open and their faces felt cold.
