All Things Bright and Beautiful (Owl City fanfic)

Cloe

That night, lying in bed in Adams spare room, sleep eluded me.

My lids were so heavy I was worried they'd fall off, but I still couldn't sleep.

Figures I thought, rolling over to my side.

In the silence I heard a silent melody.

Adam.

I got up and crept down the hallway, my bare feet making quiet slapping noises on the cold floor.

When I got to the piano, I saw Adam sitting on the bench, pressing the keys and singing along.

Close your tired eyes

Relax and then

Count from one to ten

And open them

All these heavy thoughts

Will try to weigh you down

But not this time

Way up in the air

You're finally free

And you can stay up there

Right next to me

All this gravity

Will try to pull you down

But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out

Then it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light

'Cause it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are

Tonight

Whoooooo

Whoooooo

Whoooooo

There was a twang of keys and Adam whirled around, his eyes wide.

When he saw me his shoulders slumped.

"You scared me," he said in an exhaled breath.

Brighter than a shooting star

I continued with a smile, gesturing for him to do the same.

After a second he joined in, singing and playing the piano.

Shine no matter where you are

Tonight

Gaze into my eyes

When the fire starts

And fan the flames so hot

It melts our hearts

Oh the pourin' rain will try to put it out

But not this time

Let your colours burn

And brightly burst

Into a million sparks

That all disperse

And illuminate a world

That'll try to bring you down

But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out

Then it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light

then it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are

Tonight

Whoooooo

Whoooooo

Whoooooo

Brighter than a shooting star

Shine no matter where you are

Tonight

A thousand heartbeats beat in time

It makes this dark planet come alive

So when the lights flicker out tonight

You've gotta shiiiiiiiiiine

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out

Then it's time for you you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light

'Cause it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are

Tonight

Whoooooo

Whoooooo

Whoooooo

Brighter than a shooting star

Shine no matter where you are

Tonight

When we finished singing Adam had somehow migrated from his piano to right in front of me.

I was looking into the two brown orbs of his eyes when he pressed his lips to mine.

It was a gentle kiss, but it held so much meaning.

And I wished it would never end.
