The Song Books (Ghost Bird)

For the Dancing and the Dreaming

"Do you think it's stupid?" Sang looked at Gabriel as he ran leave in conditioner through her hair. Gabriel popped her on the thigh. "Of course it's not fucking stupid Trouble. You both loved that movie and I thought you were never gonna stop crying when that guy died. I know you weren't looking at him you were too busy sniffling into Mr. B's handkerchief but Silas got a little teary eyed himself.

Ok. Well as soon as you're done with my hair I need to get back to work on it. It isn't fair that you and Dr. Sean and Luke and North have yours and no one else knows yet. Gabriel sighed tugging on his piercing. "I'll let your hair go on one condition trouble. When you get all of the guys their books I want a date. Just the two of us." Sang smiled and met his crystal blue eyes in the mirror. "Deal"

Because of the boys Academy related missions, and all of the work that Silas did with his dad for favors and just because Charlie needed help, Silas was next to last getting his book. It actually worked out to her advantage though, because she had been able to set up a date for the two of them on a sail boat that Victor had rented for her.

She had felt bad at first asking her Prince for help setting up a date for his brother but it seemed that all of her guys, once they got their book, had no problem chipping in so she could give the books out to the others.

It was almost as if they knew that the others were missing out on something special and if you love your family, you don't keep things from them. Especially not the good things that made life sweet.

Sang laughed to herself. Or maybe that is just my female version of events and in reality the male mind is much different.

Sang ran her hands over the ocean blue leather and hummed the song inside the book checking that the chip was still working.

"Superman of my heart, you are my silent strength when my world gets too hard to handle. I know that you will always be a safe harbor for me. Your sense of humor gives my clouds silver linings and there is nothing I love more than your smile. When the world stops turning I will still be able to feel your arms around me in one of your hugs."

It had seemed a wonderful idea at first to use a love song from a cartoon that Silas had watched with her. They had enjoyed it so much they had made the rest of the family watch it during that month's movie night. It was such a sweet song. It was about a promise to love being more important than the physical trappings that love normally comes with, curled up in Silas's arms as the couple on the screen danced and laughed Sang felt how right the song would be for them. But she had been having second thoughts lately; wondering if maybe another song wouldn't be better.

Unfortunately the time for second guessing herself was over as she could see Silas boarding the boat and opening his arms. Gently putting the book down in the picnic basket she had used for her date with North she ran into her Superman's arms.

Silas swung her around the dock of the small boat chuckling softly when her legs squeezed tighter around his waist. "Aggele mou, I'm so glad that we are on a date just the two of us. I've missed you."

His lips caressed hers as she sank into his heat. "I missed you too. Let's get going I can't wait to show you what I have for you. I hope you're hungry."

"For what you make me, always" Silas gave her another squeeze then went to set the sail and lead them safely from the harbor. When they entered a small inlet Silas dropped anchor and crossed to where she had been setting up their food. The blue book laid on top of a blanket in the picnic basket caught his eye and he looked at Sang for permission.

She nodded her eyes filled with an emotion he had never seen before. Opening the book a soft whistled tune poured out of it and he smiled recognizing the song from one of the movies that they had watched together. But as he read the words she had penned in the book he felt his breath catch in his chest.

My dearest one my darling dear

Your mighty words astound me

But I've no need for mighty deeds when I feel your arms around me

The tune began to sink in and mix with the words he was reading and he put the book down leaving the book open so that they could dance together. He needed his arms wrapped around her, his arms and his strength, meant for protecting her, always. "I love you Aggele"

Together they swayed to the music, the small area of the boat available for their inelegant dancing disappeared and as they looked into each other's eyes the small space became the stretch of the sea itself and he lost himself in the emerald of her eyes.

I only want your hand to hold

I only want you near me

To love to kiss to sweetly hold for the dancing and the dreaming

Through all life's sorrows and delights I'll keep your laugh inside me

I'll swim and sail on savage seas with never a fear of drowning

I'd gladly ride the waves of life if you will marry me.

Silas kissed her there, on the deck of the sail boat then leaned in to whisper softly in Sang's ear. "Ο άγγελός μου. Τη μέλλουσα σύζυγό μου."

Sang touched his jaw "What does that mean?"

Silas smiled and pulled her closer. "I'll tell you when we are older."

***A/N: I hope you liked it. I love the Peter Hollens version of this song! Oh and I couldn't find a translator to put the above Greek into English so that whole thing is 'My Angel. My future wife." Hope you enjoyed it!***
