My first attempt to write a slash, people be scared… Disclaimer: not mine, not mine. The song is from Nickelback, Saving me, and Sands/El from Robert Rodriguez.
Still
standing
Prison
gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm
crawlin
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four
walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is
you
Come please I'm callin
And oh I scream for you
Hurry
I'm fallin
I'm fallin'
He lay there
on the ground, head down, finally broken by exhaustion and blood
loss. He had fought and won, but it made no difference. He was going
to die soon. Fucking god must perform one hell of a miracle to
prevent that from happening. Then still, would he want to live a life
in darkness?
Slowly his mind drifted away into the last dream he
would ever have.
If
it wasn't for the shadow that walked towards him. Show
me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me
wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for
me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it
if it's worth saving me
His
life had been hell for sixteen years, a loathing pit of hell. Never a
home, never a shelter. The CIA was his way out, his freedom, it
brought him to Mexico. Five years he had spent in luxury and pleasure
until he got a taste of Mexican beauty. She brought him back to his
fear. Heavens
gates won't open up for me Show me what it's like And all I need is you
To be frightened and alone in the dark.
With these broken wings I'm
fallin
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no
love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I
scream for you
Come please I'm callin
And all I need from
you
Hurry I'm fallin
I'm fallin'
"You're pretty fucked up in the head, letting me
stay here."
"I know."
"You're crazy El."
"So
are you."
To be the last
one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you
what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave
this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm
fallin
Come
please hurry I'm callin'
And all I scream for you
Hurry I'm
fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
"You're
annoying as hell El Mariachi."
They've been together a while,
still he couldn't relax or ease. The tension stood as a wall
between them. He couldn't say it, but he was afraid.
"I
know."
"I'm blind El."
"I
know." Show me what it's like Say it for me
"Then why are you still here."
"Because I need
to."
And with that everything was said. Soon he found the
stronger man's lips and kissed them hardly. When he heard the other
man growl in a mix of pain and pleasure he grinned. "Now I'm
livin' la vida loca."
To
be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll
show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll
leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry
I'm fallin'
Morning came too soon. He moaned loud in
frustration when he found out his glasses were missing. He crawled
out of the tangled grip of the Mariachi. 'Why didn't he leave?'
For a moment all he could do was sit quietly and listen to the man's
breathing. 'What am I to him, just a mission, just something to
fuck?'
Say it to me
And I'll leave
this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
"You're
more beautiful without them, Sands."
He laughed. "Yeah, but
walking out naked will scare off all the costumers."
"I meant
the glasses."
A moment Sands was caught of guard. The exact
moment El grabbed him and pulled him close. It made him trip but the
strong arms held him to his feet.
"Fuck you El!" He spit and
hit forward.
El caught his fist and pushed it down. "I mean
it." El pushed him against the nearest wall, placed his hands
behind his body and pressed him hardly against the wall. Sands was
powerless.
"Let me go you fucker, get your hands off of me!"
He spit but his voice failed him when a hand removed his glasses. He
froze. The same hand played with his tangled hair. He could come up
with something to say. What could you say at a moment like this?
"I'm blind, El." He somehow stammered out.
"I know."
The Mariachi released his grip. "But still standing."
He
nodded. "Still standing."
Say
it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say
it if it's worth saving me
And how
bad was it?
