Another crying fit, another "fight," one of those that consisted of Eve doing the only thing she knew how to in the face of adversity: running away. Rubbing and rubbing at the bruise-colored skin under her eyes, shining with tears, drops of tears clinging to the pink pads of her fingers. "This is right, for me," he whispered in the dark. "This is the most wonderful, the most right thing I’ve ever had in my life. This is who I want to be when I grow up." She cupped his dear face in her hands, his blue eyes liquid in the dark, and anointing the sensitive bit of skin behind his earlobes with the salt tears on her fingertips, she kissed him.  Holy, holy, holy.

She cuddled up under the covers, pale and tired-looking, holding her book in one hand and her green eyes staring at him dolefully from above dark shadows that had appeared with her illness.  He held up the bottle of NyQuil, waggling it  entreatingly at her.  "Do you want the Green Death?"

"No," she pouted.

"Do you want me to get you chocolate milk?"

"No."

"Do you want chicken soup?"

"No!" she pulled the covers over her head.  "Stop asking me questions."

"What's the capital of North Dakota?"

"...Bismarck?" came the voice from under the blue comforter.  A pause, and then she popped her head back out, "I didn't even know that I knew that."

He grinned at her, and left to go get her some chicken soup.

Maybe someday, she thought, licking the ice cream off her fingers, someday I shall tell him what he did in a past life to "deserve" this.  Though I'm not sure he'll like it better than what he's already thought of.

Every Breath You Take, The Police (I'm sorry, this song is not romantic.  It's stalkerific.)
Baby, Now That I've Found You, The Foundations (I'm going to give you everything even though you don't know I exist!)
She's Having My Baby, Paul Anka (shotgun!)
White Wedding, Billy Idol (for similar reasons...)
Danny's Song, Kenny Loggins (it would be pretty other than the fact that it's about the fact that she's pregnant?)
One, U2 (isn't this song about breaking up?  I guess the chorus, but...seriously, what?)
Suspicious Minds, Elvis (...)
I'll Make Love To You, Boyz II Men (...yeah, no.)
Invisible, Clay Aiken (Yay!  Creepy stalking!)
You Light Up My Life, Debbie Boone (...cos it's about God?)
Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton (dead children, yay!)
Cream, Prince
Hit Me Baby One More Time, Britney Spears (aside from the fact that Britney + weddings = no, not exactly the message you want to send people...)
Another One Bites the Dust, Queen (wrong but also hilarious!)
If You Want to Be Happy, any version ("if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife..." again, hysterical, though wrong.)

This post brought to you by the fact that I had Baby, Now That I've Found You stuck in my head (yet again), and had a discussion with Mark about how it was "a restraining order waiting to happen."  I still find the song catchy and happy, though, even after that revelation.  I spent last night thinking about songs that would be completely inappropriate for wedding songs (or being played at weddings at all, really).

Anyone else got anything?

EDIT'D!: Mark and I now have a two-page-long list of completely inappropriate/scarily appropriate songs to play at (our?) a wedding.  Let's just say that "When I'm Sixty-Four," "Young Girl" (get out of my mind! my love for you is way out of line!) and "Young Blood" are all on there. ;)

My eternal love and devotion are in the mail, in the air you breathe, in the chai you drink, and in everything I say and do. Is that enough?
