For Once in My Life - AusPiri

MUSIC VIDEO: [link]

LYRICS:
For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long

For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew

Someone warm like you
Could make my dream come true

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before

For once I have someone
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I've got love
I can make it

For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me


FANFIC:
[WARNING. i might be making Austria sound OOC here]

Roderich was sulking. And it was one of those rarest emotions he could ever bring up to himself. Ever since his divorce with Hungary, he couldn't get his mind put together. His heart was broken to tiny, unrepairable pieces. Who would have thought that love would have been so cruel to him. He and Hungary decided to stay as close friends though. Should this be how was to continue his life? Watching his once lover fall in the arms of another?

He wasn't used to people not depending on him. It was his way of feeling responsible and proud. That he could help carry someone's burden brought himself strength. The fact that Hungary wasn't able to realize his capabilities clenched his heart and destroyed his self-esteem.

"E-excuse me, b-but are you okay?" a small, unusual voice raised up to his ears, making him turn to its direction.

He saw a girl with long, black hair, wearing a white dress with a strange, pink sash on her shoulder. She was holding a silver tray, her expression wholly concerned.

He looked away, unperturbed. "It's nothing...but thank you for your concern."

That's right. He was at Arthur's party. Apparently Hungary wasn't attending so it seemed to be the perfect place to reflect on his broken life.

She nodded shyly and went on her way, and Roderich returned to his quiet reflections, trying to find ways to keep his divorce completely out of his mind.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash and a high pitched scream. Austria's eyes narrowed and quickly ran to the scene before anyone else.

He saw that same girl from a few minutes ago, broken pieces of wineglasses strewn all over the place, wine soaked on her body, the silver tray flew aside.

He immediately moved to help her as he saw her try to stand up quickly. "W-wait!!" he cried out. "Don't move. You might cut yourself." he walked towards her and carefully brushed the shards of glass left on her dress and hair.

She sat there, blushing beet red, but Roderich didn't notice as he continued to examine her arms and legs in case she did get herself cut.

He sighed in relief, concluding that there were none. By then, he reached out for her hands and helped her stand up. He saw her embarrassed expression and his gaze softened.

"S-sorry, po..." she whispered, her eyes averting away from him. After which, she saw Alfred approaching their direction, but she continued to look up at him. "...but thank you for your---!"

"M-Maria!" Alfred moved to her side worryingly, holding her tightly by the shoulders. "A-are you okay?" he cried out, "W-why did you carry that tray of wineglasses yourself? No one told you to do that, did they?" he frowned at her silence. "Oh no...who told you to do this? C'mon, Maria. I'll beat him up for you!" he dragged her arm to a direction brought by instinct.

"O-oi, Kuya...I'm fine, really! T-this was all my fault!" she struggled from his grip.

"Oh...so her name was Maria, huh.." he held his chin, and looked at them once more. "Hey...there are more glass shards left hanging behind her!" his eyes narrowed, in fear that there was still a possibility of her getting hurt.

As soon as Roderich was about to run to brush them off, his foot slipped on the wine that wasn't cleaned up yet and fell onto Maria.

"AHH!"

"EEK!"

He was somehow prepared for the fall and only took out on her half of his weight, pressure falling onto his hands that clutched onto her shoulders and arms tightly for support.

When he did get close, all he wanted was to let go. But he also took in the scent of her hair and perfume. He sighed inwardly. How long has it been since he recognized a woman's scent? She smelled so much like Hungary, he suddenly forgot all about the shards on her back that were probably gone because of his previous impact.

"You...smell very nice," he whispered, slowly brought unto unconsciousness, remembering all the times he and Hungary were together. "I wouldn't mind...if I did this forever..." he moved his head to the crook of her neck and his arm around her, pulling her close.

He heard her gasp softly, but he didn't care. She felt so soft, and his heart almost burst of joy when she silently relied on him to remove the shards off her when she fell. Hungary wouldn't have let him do that if she were in her position...he sighed.

"O-oi!! Roderich! What the hell are you doing?!" Alfred pointed at him accusingly, his cheeks burnt red. "Y-you can't do that to Maria!!"

It only provoked Roderich as he tightened his embrace on Maria and turned to look at Alfred. "Since when did you decide what happens to her." he raised his eyebrows skeptically.

All Maria could do was embarrassingly hide her face, wishing she were somewhere else. "Oh no..."

This was going to be a long night.
