SPOILER!!: sing for meeee

Noah was accustomed to reunions with Mavis that went a little like this. Sometimes singing. Usually running and colliding. Always hugging. Today. The day they'd met up in order to run away together. The night of the battle. He knew how it went, and he met Mavis and flung his arms around her and hugged her tight and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

They hadn't seen each other since that week in winter, and it was because of him that writing letters never worked out. Not only was today significant because of January, it had needed to be sort-of secret, also because of January. Noah had been warned that he had likely made his way into several people's bad graces, and he didn't want them to get in his and Mavis' way. Otherwise, he didn't care what they thought. All Noah had wanted to do was take all the hurt away from Mavis in the only way that made sense to him at the time, and he was never going to apologise for that, not ever, not to any of her family and probably not even to her, if she ever suddenly expected it. He didn't think she would.

The only person he'd apologised to was Lori, and that was for scaring her and maybe making her think he didn't want to be at Stemp House with her anymore, which wasn't true. He had wanted to stay. He had wanted to leave. He had wanted a lot of specific and conflicting things that he still could not put into words.

Quickly, Noah got himself away from that line of thinking, before he could wake up a side of himself that needed to stay sleeping, now and always. Things that made him confused or emotional only ever made it worse, and that was why they'd never made it to France.

Noah realised he'd not spoken yet, and gave Mavis one last squeeze before letting her go, reaching for her hand instead, to tether them both to each other and the world. "I'm here. Remember I promised."

The day they had been found had been the day the song in her heart had faded, barely even humming to herself even in her quietest of moments. Over and over again she had read the journal Noah had sent her and over and over again she had heard his voice reading it to her. So accustomed to creating his voice inside her mind, she thought that was precisely what she was doing when she heard his song and her shoulder sunk in defeat. But then...the orchestra played, the song warming her insides and eliciting goosebumps all over her skin, and her eyes locked on her favorite pair of eyes just as he came bursting through two people. "...Noah..." she whispered, more as a confirmation to herself as her feet slowly began to move towards him. "...NOAH..." And then SHE was dashing towards him as fast as her shorter legs could manage with tears in her eyes and a HUGE smile on her face. "N O A H!"
