《Solangelo oneshots》You Boy

You boy,
got me where you want me.
At the end of every storybook,
is where you'll always find me.
I know, times have been so rough.
Not just for you but for the both of us.
I found myself in a forest. From behind a tree, a pair of eyes were lurking at me. A small note on the ground said: save me. Next to it lay a pocket watch, ticking towards noon. I stood up and started walking. I found a wall with stairs. I climbed it.
You boy,
got me if you want me.
At the end of every storybook,
is where you'll always find me.
I know, times have been so rough.
Not just for me but for the both of us.
In a clearing stood a man holding a necklace. The necklace spun and spun, but when I tried to grab it the man and the necklace vanished. When I turned around, he was sitting on a hill not far away. He swung the necklace, then threw it at me. I almost caught it, and ran after the man. I came in a cave and my watch started lighting up. After looking around a little bit with my watch as torch(flashlight for you Americans out there) I saw the necklace sitting on a rock, purple smoke billowing around it. I went to pick it up.
Sunshine, sunshine
make believe that fairy tales
that don't believe in me. And I say,
"Sunshine, sunshine make believe
that fairy tales that don't believe in me."
A man in a black cape appeared and made weird hand gestures towards me, as if to cast a spell on me. He actually did, but I deflected it with my watch and threw a blue flash of light at him. The man vanished and the only things left were a mask, a cape and a knife. I finally picked up the necklace.

You boy,
yeah you sure always had me.
Waiting in your storybook, for you
to come around. I was lost and then
I'm found. Waiting in your storybook
for you to hold my hand.
The moment I touched it, I was back where I woke up, the man that threw the necklace at me, looking in my direction in surprise, and then back to his captive. A boy with blonde hair, and blue eyes looked up at me with pleading eyes that practically screamed: HELP ME. The man snapped his fingers and the boy disappeared. He thought he had out smarted me, but my watch lit up. I held it out to the man and he disintegrated, leaving only a hat behind. The boy reappeared and walked towards me. He took my hands and leant in. he sweetly kissed me on the lips.
Suddenly I found myself back on my bed, a storybook in my hand. Was it all just a story? A fairy tale? Then I looked up into a pair of blue eyes slowly coming closer.
