My Lover's Box

***Author's Note: This is my FIRST song fic it's to one of the best
Garbage song's My Lover's Box, #10 off their first self title album. I
tried to tie the lyrics with the "story" so if it seems kinda
incoherent at times, that's why. I recommend downloading the song...
the live version is excellent I might add.

P.S. let me know what ya think.*

My lover's charms
Are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them until the end

Squall opened the small box of things he kept that reminded him of
Rinoa. A small white feather that fell into his hand as he sit on the
floating piece of earth after defeating the evil sorceress. A rock he
picked up as he sat on the train tracks as he carried her to Esthar, a
napkin that had been in his pocket when he first danced with her, and
the nudie magazine from their "first date". A tear dropped from his
eye as he thought of how horrible he treated her those first few days.

Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven

He lay on his head on her pillow that sat next to his. It still
smelled like her hair did. He wished that scent would never leave him.
To him the scent was more important than air, he couldn't live without
it. He ran his black gloved hand over the silky, light blue, pillow
cover. `Why is she with me. I'm a mercenary, a killer, what would and
angel see in a guy like me.' He thought.

They burn my hand
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal your breath
And throw away
What I despise

`Then again she had a fling with Seifer, and he's worst then me.' He
thought feeling the scar that ran from the bottom of his forehead down
the left side of his nose and stopped just after his nose. She had
taken his breath away when he had first seen her, and broke his heart
as she ran off to Seifer, after their dance together. `If he was there
why did you ask me to dance? Did I steal your breath as you did mine?
Or was it out of pity `cause I was all alone in the corner?' he asked
her in his mind.

Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven

Either way Rinoa chose Squall in the end and that all that mattered.
She made him most happy in the world. He knew after their first kiss
on the balcony that starry night she was his forever. He wanted to put
that kiss in that box and keep it forever next to his heart and never
loose it.

Between these walls
And darkened halls
I've done my time
If I should die
Before I wake
Then you'll know why

She made his life of a silent hell into an open heaven. ` You changed
me, you've given me happiness and your me your heart. I only gave you
my heart. My aching heart, my dark unloving heart and you fixed it.
You've given me so much and I've given you so little. Why do you put
up with me? I'm undeserving of life let alone your love.'

Send me an angel to love

I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven...piece by piece

`I wish now that I had hugged you in the Ragnarok. I wasn't sure that
we were alive. It surprised even me that I went out there to save you.
I love you and would give my last breath to save you. I wish I could
tell you but I don't know how. I want you in my life forever.' Squall
removed a black velvet box from his jacket pocket and opened it
revealing a tiny silver ring with Griever. In his mouth was a
sparkling diamond. He knew she'd love it, it cost him a whole month of
mercenary jobs for the Garden. She thought he was avoiding her and
didn't love her anymore.

Send me an angel to love...piece by piece
I need to feel a little piece of heaven...piece by piece
Send me an angel to love...piece by piece
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven...piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece

Squall met Rinoa in the restaurant in Balamb City, later that night,
she sat alone at the table playing with the rings that dangled from
her neck. He sat down with a nervous look on his face. Rinoa knew
something was wrong.

"What is it Squall?" she asked suspiciously.

"Well... It's about why I've been away fighting for so long.."

"It's another woman isn't it." She yelled angrily jumping to
conclusions.

"No, I was working to buy you this..." He drew the black velvet box
from his pocket and presented the ring to her. Her eyes lit up and
began to over flow with tears of joy. "Rinoa Heartilly, I love you
more than life itself, will you marry me?" Rinoa smiled and looked
into Squall bright blue eyes.

"Yes, yes, Squall, I will, I will. I love you so much." She squeaked
gleefully practically jumping over the table to kiss him.

Send me an angel...piece by piece.
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel

As the couple walked back to the Garden, Squall looked up in the sky
and whispered in his mind, "Thank you God for sending me an angel."

The End
