okaaaayyy so could you do something like maya and lucas fight or smth like that and maya goes to a park to vent or whatever and she starts singing a song about lucas 'cause she thought she was alone but little does she know he had followed her and he hears it all idk if this is too confusing but i trust you to make it work

babe!! thanks for the request and i’m so sorry i took so long to get this out for you. i hope this was what you wanted. enjoy!!

(ps, the song is light by sleeping at last!!)

**

It’s late and all she wants to do is sleep, but of course, the moment her head hits the soft pillow behind her, Lucas storms into the room reeking of booze and sweaty clothes.

The lights flicker on as she reaches across the table to turn on the lamp.

“Lucas?” She blinks a few times to get adjusted to the brightness.

“Maya, there you are!” He doesn’t sound drunk, but Maya gets up anyway to inspect him further.

“Here I am.” She bounces on the heels of her feet awkwardly.

This has been happening with him more then she’d ever like to admit. His mom died a month or so ago, and Lucas has been a complete and utter mess since it happened. He goes to work like any normal person during the days, but the nights are a totally different story, he gets drunk with his friends and is never home until way past midnight. Maya doesn’t know how to help him, not anymore. He’s so different now. She doesn’t recognize him anymore.

“Were you waiting up for me?�� He shrugs off his jacket and it lands sloppily on the floor.

“Not really. I was just finishing a painting and didn’t realize it was so late.”

“Oh.” He says promptly, and Maya’s never felt so alone in her life.

“Do you, uh, I don’t know, maybe want to talk?” She motions towards their unmade bed.

“Not tonight.” He leans in and kisses her softly on her forehead, Maya closes her eyes as if to memorize the feeling of his lips pressing against her skin, she misses this, she misses him.

He’s almost of out of their room when she walks over to him and wraps a hand around his wrist to stop him.

“When then?” She sighs dejectedly. “When will we get to talk again, Lucas?”

“I don’t know, Maya. I’m tired, geez.”

“You’re my husband, Lucas.” She shakes her head sadly and looks up at him. “You’re supposed to be there for me.”

“You’re supposed to be here for me too, Maya.”

Maya shakes her head.

“And I’ve been trying, you’ve just been gone whenever I’ve made an effort, you’re never around anymore.”

“Dammit, Maya. My mother died, okay? I don’t want to talk, can’t you take a fucking hint once in a while? How stupid are you?” He angrily fires back, a little drunk and tired.

Maya backs away from him, out the door into their living room.

“Yeah, I can take a hint.”

She walks out the front door of their apartment and slams the door shut after her. Tears are sliding down her face rapidly as she makes her way down the long flight of stairs, out the main door of the lobby into the freezing New York air, and to her favorite park, the one a few blocks down from their house. She’s been coming here a lot lately, mainly because she feels so alone in their apartment, even when Lucas is there.

She sits down on a bench and looks around to see that it’s just here among the trees and various benches. She sighs in relief as the tears start to dribble down faster.

She opens her mouth and starts to sing softly, unaware to the footsteps that belong to Lucas behind her.

May these words be the firstTo find your ears.The world is brighter than the sunNow that you’re here.Though your eyes will need some time to adjustTo the overwhelming light surrounding us,

I’ll give you everything I have.I’ll teach you everything I know.I promise I’ll do better.I will always hold you close,But I will learn to let you go.I promise I’ll do better.I will soften every edge,I’ll hold the world to its best,And I’ll do better.With every heartbeat I have leftI will defend your every breath,And I’ll do better.

She sighs between words and tries to form the next lyrics, salty tears flowing into her mouth.

’Сause you are loved.You are loved more than you know.I hereby pledge all of my daysTo prove it so.Though your heart is far too young to realizeThe unimaginable light you hold inside.

She’s about to open her mouth and keep singing when she turns and becomes aware of him, next to her, tears in his eyes, mirroring hers.

“Huckleberry?” Her voice cracks. “Wh- what are you doing here?”

“You really think I would let you be out here alone at this time of night?” He scoots closer to her and takes her hands. “You really think I would let you cry without me here by your side?”

“I don’t know what to think anymore.” She admits, looking toward the ground.

“And thats my fault.” He responds, tilting her chin up. “I’ve been so absent and lost lately, I didn’t realize I was hurting the one person in this world that I love the most.”

She smiles through watery tears.

“I’ve missed you so much.”

She sees the tears start to slide down his cheeks and takes a hand and wipes them away.

“She would of been so proud of you, huckleberry.” Maya breathes out shakily. “You have to know that. You can’t let yourself forget that. Ever.”

“I won’t.” He shakes his head and squeezes her other hand tighter. “With you by my side, I could never, not any longer.”

“I love you, Lucas.”

“And I love you, baby.”

They stay at the park for a while until it gets too cold to bear, and they head back to their apartment, strip their freezing clothes off and climb into bed. Together.
