The Dragon Prince: Rayla x Callum

Sing

(Song:Gary Barlow-Sing)

Callum sat beside Ezran, singing to him to get him to sleep. He sang his mother's favourite song. He remembered her singing it to him when he couldn't get to sleep.

Rayla sat by the tree, trying to get to sleep aswell,but tonight was just one of those nights where you just can't get to sleep. She looked up at the sky and closed her eyes.

Callum closed his eyes and started to sing.
"Some words they can't be spoken only sung,
So hear a thousand voices shouting love.
There's a place, there's a time in this life
When you sing what you are feeling,
Find your feet, stand your ground,
Don't you see right now the world is listening to what we say?
Sing it louder, sing it clearer, knowing everyone will hear you,
Make some noise, find your voice tonight.
Sing it stronger, sing together, make this moment last forever,
Old and young shouting love tonight.
To sing we've had a lifetime to wait
And see a thousand faces celebrate
You brought hope, you brought life,
Conquered fear, no it wasn't always easy,
Stood your ground, kept your faith,
Don't you see right now the world is listening to what we say?
Sing it louder, sing it clearer, knowing everyone will hear you,
Make some noise, find your voice tonight.
Sing it stronger, sing together, make this moment last forever,
Old and young shouting love tonight.
Some words they can't be spoken only sung,
To hear a thousand voices shouting love and light and hope.
Just sing; just sing; just sing; just sing.
Sing it louder, sing it clearer, knowing everyone will hear you,
Sing it stronger, sing together, make this moment last forever,
Hear a thousand voices shouting love."
Rayla had listened and she had never heard such a beautiful voice.

"Goodnight Ez." Callum smiled at Ezran's sleeping body. He got up and sat next to Rayla.

"That was beautiful Callum. You have an amazing voice."
"Thanks. It was my mother's favourite song. She used to sing it to me and Ez when we were sad or couldn't sleep." Rayla saw a tear go down Callum's face.

She quickly got up at sat on her knees in-front of him. Her hands cupped his face as she wiped his tears away.
"I'm sorry, I'm being such a baby right?"
"No Callum! It's ok to show emotion. It's ok to cry. I'm here for you. I always will be." She gently kissed his nose and he jumped onto her and cried into her neck. She rubbed his back as she calmed him down.

About 5 minutes later, he had no more tears left to cry and was now hugging Rayla.
"Thank you Rayla. I needed that."
"Anytime" she smiled at him and he couldn't take it anymore. He kissed her on the lips and to his surprise, she kissed back.

They cuddled for the rest of the night as the two slept soundly together.
