For the Birds :Diva: --Open

[Syvette]

"I still remember the world from the eyes of a child.. "Diva sang softly, the morning light casting a halo of gold around the ship as it burned through the usual morning mist. Her eyes were closed, hands folded together..

"Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all.."

Her fingers un-knit and rested on the rough wood of the bow, amber eyes opening to look out over the water. She was quiet other than her melancholy voice, rendering words from the deepest reccess of her heart. Gabriel had helped her a bit... Made the pain less and the sorrow softer, but still..

She sang.

[Alucard]

Gabriel walked out onto the deck and smile softly.Diva... He walked to her slowly making sure she heard his steps so he doesn't scare her. "You have a lovely singing voice Diva..." He stands next to her and smells the salty air thinking he'll never get tired of the smell. "I'd like to hear you sing more. Such a voice should always be in use." He smiles at her softly.

[Syvette]

Diva looked up and smiled as she heard Gabriel's footsteps approaching, already knowing it was him. Turning slightly, she let her gaze rest on his approach as she grew silent, letting the song end. She listened intently as he spoke and blushed slightly, enjoying the compliment. "Thank you, Gabriel." she said softly, then nodded. "I would be happy to sing for you." she offered shyly.

[Alucard]

Gabriel smiled brightly at her words. "Thank you. Pick a song you like most." He leans against the railing and looked her over.She's so beautiful... He wanted to touch her face gently and to hold her close but him being him he kept these feelings under control.

[Syvette]

Diva turned to face him, leaning her back against the rough wood of the rail as she considered. A song she liked most...But also one that fit the way Gabriel made her feel, she thought. Hm.. "Alright." she said softly, a little smile curving her lips before she began to sing in a soft, warm voice..

"I'm not alone
Even when we're apart
I feel you in the air, yeah
I'm not afraid
I know what you're thinking
I can hear you everywhere

Some people say "it'll never happen"
We're just wasting time
But good things come when u least expect them
So, I don't really mind

We'll be together
Come whatever
I'm not just staring at the stars
Just remember
That no one else can tell us who we are
We'll be together
So, don't ever stop listening to your heart
'Cause I can't turn mine off (oh, oh)

I can't pretend
This is a rehearsal for the real thing
Because it's not and
I know we're young
But I can't help feeling what I'm feeling
And I won't stop

Somethings are meant to be and they'll be there
When the time is right
Even though I know that, I swear
l wish it was tonight

We'll be together
Come whatever
I'm not just staring at the stars
Just remember
That no one else can tell us who we are
We'll be together
So, don't ever stop listening to your heart
'Cause I can't turn mine off

I like what's happening to me

Nothing else to say (oh)

(Oh, yeah)
Somebody finally got to me
Carried me away

We'll be together
Come whatever
I'm not just staring at the stars
Just remember
That no one else can tell us who we are
We'll be together
So, don't ever stop listening to your heart
'Cause I can't turn mine off

I'm not alone
Even when we're apart
I feel you..." her voice faded out into silence as the last word was sung, a soft sigh of breath following as she looked at him intently.

[Alucard]

Gabriel smiled as she sang clearly enjoying it. When she stopped he hugged her gently then brushed her lips with a kiss. "That was so beautiful..." He said holding her close.She has such a wonderful voice...I'll remember those words always...

[Syvette]

Diva hugged him back softly and returned the gentle kiss, holding herself against him and sighing softly. Perfect.. she thought, blissfully content for the moment. "Thank you." she said softly. She had meant every word of the words sung, the feeling behind them genuine.Gabriel.. So warm and kind; I'll always care for him..[/i]

[Alucard]

Gabriel smiled and hugged her tight. I like her being close to me... He thought a moment then kissed her deeply. His hands stayed on her back holding her close.Is this how people kiss? He never kissed anyone before besides Diva so he had no clue.

[Syvette]

Diva loved the feeling of being close to Gabriel; the warmth and tenderness she felt whenever she was near him. When he kissed her, she kissed him back deeply and affectionately. She knew he hadn't kissed anyone before- she could tell- but still she liked it and hugged him closer.

[Alucard]

Gabriel pulled his head away reluctantly. He was breathing normally unlike most people who kiss like that. He held her close smiling brightly since she let him kiss her. I...love her... His emotions were all fixed on love towards her and nothing else. He has never felt this way for anyone.

[Syvette]

For Diva it had been a long time since anyone had kissed her like that. Since she'd allowed or wanted it, and it was an intoxicating thing. She was happy and content. In love. She knew she was but it didn't really change anything for her. She loved Gabriel and whatever became of their relationship would be up to him- she was content with her existence on Earth and the place she'd made for herself, whether he would be or not would be up to him. When he pulled back from the kiss, she smiled at him gently and lightly caressed his cheek with her fingertips.
"That was nice."
