All credit for the song The Power of Love goes to Gabrielle Aplin and anyone else involved.

Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal

You woke gasping, the sheets dropped to your waist. You rolled out of bed, leaving Chris sleeping in your bed. Walking down to the kitchen, you grabbed a glass and filled it with water. You drank slowly. Chris came up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist. His voice was husky with sleep. "You okay, Sugar-bell?" You nodded. "You're alright, no one can hurt you while I am here."

"You promise."

"Promise. Came here, dance with me, pretend the world doesn't exist." He played a song that he knew you loved.

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

You danced in the kitchen, swaying together. He held you gently, but with tight enough to ensure you knew he was there. You melted into his breath and copied his breathing pattern in order to calm your heart. He gently guided your head to rest on his shoulder, so you could hear it.

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying death-defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling light, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushing in, rushing inside of me

"Why do you love me?" You asked. "I love you because of who you are."

"I know that, but why?"

"I love you because you are an amazing person who is great at her job. I love you because you are good at helping other people when they need it. You are a great person, who is willing to help anyway she can." You swayed with Chris. He held you close. "I love you, Sugar-bell."

"I love you too, Chris. Thank you." He shrugged, "You do all sorts of things for the person you love." You began to calm down, feeling safe in his arms. You yawned, and he swept you up in his arms carrying back up to bed. You wormed your way into Chris' arms after he climbed into bed beside you, wrapping you in his arms. "Goodnight, Sugar-bell."

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
