Flawless

Dom loves the way Billy's voice sounds early in the morning; all sleep and gravely soft against his shoulder. It buzzes straight to his chest and feels warm and fuzzy like alcohol.

"There are places I'll remember all my life, though some have changed."

Billy has an arm draped across Dom's collar bone, the other wrapped around his waist. He looks out over the water at the skyline from behind Dom's shoulder. Billy's breath is hot on the back of Dom's neck.

"Some forever not for better, some have gone, and some remain."

Dom closes his eyes against the sunrise because he doesn't think something so flawless ever existed before now. When the mountains create their own horizon and the sky is just slightly pink before it fades to black again.

"All these places have their moments with lovers and friends, I still can recall, some are dead and some are living, in my life I've loved them all."

Billy's grip gets a little tighter, and Dom thinks that sunrises never really seemed to matter until now. Billy's hand wraps around the back of Dom's head and curls into his hair.

"But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one - "

He nuzzles his nose into the soft spot behind's Dom ear.

" - compares with you."

Dom finally opens his eyes when the soreness in the back of his throat hurts too much. There's oranges and reds filtering over the water, and Billy's mouth pressing kisses to his hair, and Dom knows the edge of the world must end in New Zealand because he's sitting on it right now.

"And these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new, though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before."

Dom loves the way Billy's voice sounds early in the morning; the accent all heavy-melodic around the vowels.

"I know I'll often stop and think about them in my life...I love you more."

And Dom loves the way Billy will only sing for him.

You don't not realize how much I love you. That is my all time favorite song. Not even kidding. And this is just entirely too beautiful.

That is an all too perfect line.

I thought you might like the song. And imagine Billy singing it? Christ.

[goldenglitter.livejournal.com]

Christ, indeed. *dies a little*

omg the last line *curls up and dies in puddle of happy goo*

Mmm. Good fic, it's beautifully written and the lyrics seem inter-woven perfectly. (And Billy singing? *guh!*)

And that last line...*melts and squees like a true fangirl*

beautiful story.

i recced you in my lj (for the twleve people who actually read it).

[-makeshift.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Every little bit helps. I'd never written anything fic-wise beyond a few bands, so was really reluctant to try this fandom even though I love it.

=)

Lovely. I love the words (although I don't believe I've heard the song), and your prose is very lyrical to match. Great work!

The lyrics are from In My Life by The Beatles. I think the picture works better if you can actually hear how it's supposed to go (the way the melody would sound if Billy was sining it), but it's just a really gorgeous song.

Ooooh...'twould be heaven on earth to hear Billy sing In My Life...especially to Dom. -purrs- Wonderful job, mmm sap!

oh what a beautiful song to choose for the painting of perfection. i wanted to be there, i wanted to have this. just a moment full of love and beauty, that everyone wants to achieve. lovely imagining.

also, uhh, not to ruin the mood .. but i kind of imagined that they have that pretty romantic moment, and billy would totally do the high-pitched paul voice in the very last line of the song and they would TOTALLY burst into laughter and start making out >_

another Billy-singing fic. Mmmm. Anything with Billy singing is a good thing.

That is gorgeous, and I hate alcohol. lol.

Guh. I want a morning-billy really badly.

I know this was written like a year ago, but I had to say my piece...

This story is so beautiful and breath-taking.

It's simply wonderful! *adds to memories*
