Back In My Arms Again Drabble

Paris, France
01:13 A.M.

Granger Household

Dawn just got done clubbing with her sister Holly and a couple of friends she got to know while living in the city of lights. The blonde walked or wobbled to her room being drunk and couldn’t remember the last time she had a drink. It was the time when she was singing Karaoke with Hank singing a song, their song ‘Ain’t No Mountain Higher.’ Every time she would hear the opening to that song; it broke her heart. The former ballerina opens the door to her room closing it behind her. Dawn takes off her earrings, grabs a makeup remover wipe going all over her face, and tossing it into the trash bin. She crawls onto the bed and passes out in her party clothes going into dreamland.

Dream

The former ballerina is dressed in a light blue mermaid-style dress with matching high heels. Dawn sighs as she sees three couples dancing with each other being happy and in love. She and the couples were at the highest part of the Eiffel Tower. The blonde wipes small tears in her eyes knowing she’s the only single woman out there and sitting at a table alone. She turns her head away wiping her tears.

“A beautiful woman like you should never be in a corner or crying. You’re too beautiful to cry, babe.” A familiar male voice stated showing it to be Hank in a black tuxedo, red tie that matched his Hawk suit, and black tennis shoes.

Her heart dropped as she quickly turns around and getting up to see Hank standing in front of her. Dawn jumped onto him with her arms around him crying more into his shoulders. God, she’s missed his touch, voice, and him so very much.

The Former Hero held her tightly in his arm around her small frame and kissed her crown. He misses seeing his angel, his Dove, and the love of his life. Hank lifted his head then gently puts a hand onto Dawn’s face so he can face her, “You’re still beautiful Dawn, as always.” He complimented her.

She was taking every moment even though it was a dream and wanted to stay in his embrace until who knows when. The former ballerina felt her head being lifted up to see those dark brown eyes she fell in love with. “I’ve missed you so much handsome, you have no idea,” Dawn told the truth as she tiptoes to kiss him.

Hank bows his head so he could feel her lips to his. He missed her soft lips and her warmth.

They had a moment then he pulls away.

“Want to have this dance? Even though I’m horrible at it,” The tall brunette asked.

Dawn smiled brightly and her eyes lighten with joy. Her brown eyes see him holding her right hand in his hand and her left arm cover his shoulder blades. The blonde views her beloved taking the lead as they danced more swaying with each other.

Hank was leading her in their dance and wished he could have had more time with her to dance. He looked into those chocolate brown eyes he fell in love with and smiles at his love.

“You have no idea how good it is to have you back in my arms again, even if it’s a dream,” Dawn stated the truth keeping her eyes at him.

“I know the feeling babe, I wish I was with you. To be in Paris with you.” The deceased hero commented as he pulled her closer to their dance.

The former ballerina felt being closer to him and doesn’t move as they danced, “It’s beautiful out here and I only wish you could have been here to experience with me.” She replied then starts crying again, “It’s my fault that you’re not here, alive with me. I killed you. I pulled the trigger. Hank, I’m so beyond sorry.” Dawn apologizes for her actions knowing that moment haunts her.

The tall brunette man stopped their dance and uses his hand to lift her chin to face him, “Dawn, you did NOT kill me. Jason was the one who KILLED me. You did nothing wrong, remember that.” He stated being sincere wiping her tears away with his thumbs.

She shakes her head not knowing what to believe or do. Dawn felt somewhat of relief hearing him say those words, “I couldn’t stay with the Titans after that. I wanted to go out and kill Jason myself; I wish it was a real gun so I could have shot and killed that little a**hole.” The blonde angrily stated a fact.

Hank shakes his head, “You’re not a killer Dawn. You’re not. You have the purest heart I know. Your whole aura is white; innocence, true, strength, and a heart of a hero.” He stated with honesty and a matter of fact to her. “You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me; always remember that.” The brunette man said with a smile and holds her in his arms.

Dawn couldn’t believe the words he was saying, ‘A heart of a hero’ and ‘Purest heart’ she didn’t see herself as that but for him to say those to her was both heartfelt and haunting. The blonde placed her head on his chest feeling his sway again in their dance.

The two of them are enjoying their time together with everything else not matter in their element.

“I will always love you, Hank.” She said.

“And I will love you forever until we meet again in heaven with you in my arms,” He answered back.

The two danced, swayed until the lights go down.
