Gift of my heart 3 LazyTown fic R and S

Part three, the final night:

Tonight was to be the last night that Robbie would go to the ball and it would also be the last time that the villain would be able to be in the hero’s arms. The dark haired man was looking forward to being with Sportacus again but he was also sad that he would never get to be with the one he loved again after the balls where finished. After all despite what the athletic man said the villain was determined not to be found out, as he was sure the discovery of who his mysterious love was would break the hero’s heart.

Once again when the dawn had come all that was left from his previous night out was the domino mask, as the third night drew in Robbie stood looking down at it on his work bench. Quietly the tall man waited for his fairy godmother to arrive for the final time to change him for this last ball. Sure enough as the stars started to make their appearance in the night sky over lazy town his fairy godmother arrived, the lady smiled on her charge in a friendly manor and spoke to Robbie. “So are you ready to go to the ball for the final time?”

“Yes I am.”

With a graceful flick of the ladies wand the last of the outfits appeared upon Robbie, the villain looked down at himself. Sure enough it was the same as the last two times except now it was silver grey and the highlights were of black and the cravat pin was a diamond star which glittered softly in the black folds. “Oh wow! It’s amazing”

“You are most welcome. I am sure you know the old saying always save the best for last. Now off you go and have a good time.”

“I will and thank you for all your help.”

“It has been my pleasure.”

Quietly the villain left the layer quickly he made his way to the ball as he had done for the past two nights. Once he was in the in the ball room, the tall man let his eyes wander round the room taking in all the people who where there. Robbie spotted the hero talking to Bessie and Milford, he let out a small sigh the villain located Trixie so that he could talk to her and attempt to stay away from Sportacus for as much of the evening as he could.

Trixie noticed the villain looking at her she smiled at him Robbie smiled back and made his way over to the side of the young woman. “Good evening miss.” He said to her softly.

“Good evening sir, shall we dance?” The brown haired woman asked him with a bright smile.

“Of cause.” Robbie offered her a hand, Trixie took the hand and they went out onto the dance floor together. It was halfway through their dance that Sportacus turned away from his conversation with the mayor and Miss Busybody, to look round the room and see if his mysterious gentleman had turned up. Sure enough the hero noticed him walzing round the floor with Trixie, the blue eyes widened and then thinned as the jealously flared once again.

Excusing himself to the two adults Sportacus went to wait impatiently for their dance to finish. When it had the blond walked straight over to the side of the quietly conversing pair and stood beside Richard and spoke. “Good evening Richard.”

With a slight jump Richard turned to face the blond man. “Oh Sportacus!” With a small smile to herself Trixie quietly slipped away, leaving the two men alone together.

“I’ll give you, oh Sportacus! You where trying to avoid me weren’t you?”
“Yes I was a little.” The taller man confessed softly.

“Well I don’t blame you for trying to avoid me, after all I almost caught you last night and I will catch you tonight my Richard.” As Sportacus spoke he carefully backed the other man against the nearby wall.

The blond smiled slightly as Richard’s grey eyes widened and he gasped slightly. Quickly Sportacus grabbed both wrists of the taller man, before he pushed them to the wall of the ball room. Quickly the hero leant in and began gently kissing his way along the hidden villain’s neck. Another gasp escaped the slender man, before any words could escape the hero’s captive, his lips found those of Richard. They kissed for a long while lost in the sensation of rightness which now filled them both. Eventually they drew apart for breath, slowly grey eyes and blue eyes locked, eventually the hero spoke. “Just surrender to me Richard.”

“Sportacus every one can see us.” The taller man said to the other man softly.

The hero shook his head. “I don’t care if they can see us. I love you and I’ll do anything to stop you from getting away from me.” Slowly and deliberately the hero ran his hands up the slender arms of the villain. Who shivering allowed Sportacus to push them back against the wall before he then ran his hands back down the arms, the two men’s hands met and their fingers intertwined tightly.

“Sportacus...I didn’t know that you could be like this...”

“Only when I really want something and you my love are defiantly something I want.”

“Oh God.” Richard said softly.

“I am afraid even he cannot help you now.” The hero said with a smile before leaning in and kissing the other man softly this time.

Richard responded to the kiss instantly enjoying every moment of it, slowly they drew apart and with a sigh the hero decided to relent for now. “Shall we dance again?” The hero asked the other man quietly.

“Yes we should after all that is part of the reason people come to balls.”

The hero chuckled slightly, before very reluctantly letting the other man away from the wall and then escorting him out onto the dance floor for the final night of the ball. As the two men danced a slow romantic waltz together, they only had eyes for each other and were completely unaware of the rest of the town watching them dance together.

As the music came to a close for that dance Sportacus led his dark haired partner off of the dance floor and out into the garden were he knew they might at least have a little time alone as they had done the past two nights. Once they were safely outside in the garden the hero turned, he placed both hands onto the flat chest of the other man and gazed up into his mercury eyes. Those eyes haunted the hero, he was so sure he had seen them before but the blonde man could never remember were.

Richard regarded the one he loved for a few moments, before leaning down to claim his lips in a soft loving kiss. With a contented sigh Sportacus leant up into the kiss, his eyes flickered closed and he started to return the gentle kiss. As they pulled apart from this kiss their eyes met again and the hero couldn’t help himself. “I’m haunted by your eyes you know.”
“Oh why is that?”

“I know I’ve seen them before, I dream about them and about you every night. In my heart I know who you are but every time I try to place a name to you none comes and that pains me. It is as though you are the other half of my soul and without you I am not complete, I cannot help but feel like you not being beside me is an open wound I cannot treat.”

Richard reached out gently he stroked one of the hero’s cheeks. “I never intended to cause you such pain. I am sorry I have done so, but after tonight it will be over, I will not appear to you again and you will be able to forget me and begin to heal.” Gently Sportacus held the other man’s hand against his cheek and shook his head. “I know that I will never heal without you. I know you never meant to cause me pain but you will if I never see you again.”

Before the other man could answer those words he noticed the time, sharply Richard pulled away from the hero, not expecting this reaction Sportacus released him. When the athletic man realized the time and why the one he loved was running away he instantly gave chase to the other man. As he had been before the hero was surprised by Richard’s turn of speed, as the taller man wove his way through the ball room, people watched him run away with confusion. As the hero entered the room the residents of Lazy Town all swarmed towards him they were understandably both concerned and confused about this situation.
Sportacus fought his way through them and shouted out in frustration. “Not right now, I have to go after him!”

As soon as the hero was safely clear of the people of Lazy town Sportacus gave chase to the one he loved. Robbie was quickly aware of the other man gaining on him, hastily he loosened the cravat dropping the star shaped cravat pin, and this was swept up by the perusing hero. As once more the blond hero drew closer the villain he untied the cravat and dropped that just as he had the pin.  Sportacus swept this up as quickly as he could to, lastly and in desperation the villain took of his domino mask and dropped that too. Not expecting Richard to discard a third item the blond man stopped to pick it up, he was stunned to find it was one of his domino masks. Sportacus was unsurprised to find that when he looked up from the mask to find that the other man was once again gone.

The hero let out a deep sigh, before looking back down at the mask again. His heart constricted painfully as he now knew that Richard had been right he would never know who the man in the mask was. However he also knew that this man was in his heart and the blond man wanted to know he really had been. Something inside Sportacus refused to give up, he felt a determination rising up in him like he had never felt before. All at once the hero knew it was time to use the magic of the tale in order to find the one he love again and he was well aware in order to do that he would need to use the right words at this moment in time. Before the hero could really think about it any further he knew what to say and said it aloud. “I will find you and then you will be mine I will not stop searching till you are with me once more because I love you.” As he finished speaking the hero felt the magic of the tale responding to his words Sportacus was not entirely sure what he had put into action but he hoped whatever it was it would bring him to the one he loved with all of his heart.
