don't know where I am with you
forgetting time and space with you
it's great really. being with Elias brought Dominic so many times of happiness and euphoria. the both of them are at their happiest in their lives. spending time with each other made them feel like the world slowed down, the hand holding each other held their bond tight together, keep them grounded. make them the happiest while the war raged on.
it didn't matter where they were, it could be in the medic's office, sitting in the middle of a field, watching the sun set or even in the workplace. each other's company made their faces wrinkle up in joy, teeth never hidden as they made each other laugh.
walking over to each other for a simple kiss or just to hold each other, embracing the one that made them so bright despite all the darkness around them. every loving word sewing their hearts closer and soon to be one with each other. every second of another calloused hand, fingers interlaced stringed their hearts together, the red string of fate as some would call it.
"how did you find me?" Dominic chuckled, hearing the door open, turning around he stood up as he opened his arms, ready to take Elias into his strong, loving arms.
smiling, Dominic placed his head onto his lover's chest and started to slowly sway as his arms kept Elias tight against his chest, "i always find you. no matter where you hide, i'm tied to you after all."
turning around in Elias's embrace to face his work desk, Dominic nodded and started to work on his reports once again.
"love, you can't do your work standing up, here, i'll sit down and you'll sit on my lap alright?" Elias suggested, his hands moving down to Dominic's hips and started to softly rub it.
always being able to use this string to guide one back to the other's arms. be it motivation to come home during a war, hanging on and pushing on during a surgery or just keeping them tracing back home to each other after a fight. making distance not a matter. far or near, they would have their hearts tied together always.
oh, I wish we had a common view
you see my red as blue
I don't belong in your universe
for better or for worse
but everything has it's flaw, and their relationship isn't one to run away from the fact.
all their lives spent apart, experiencing different things, creating different values and views of life. sometimes things just don't go as planned, dates have to be canceled last minute, arguments over what decision to make.
cracks from in their relationship that even their red string of fate can't save them from.
Dominic often mistaken Elias's worry and concern for him as pity, and he hates it, it's just the way he is. he's trying to change, he really is, but the shadows of his past that even Elias's light can't chase away would constantly drags him back to square one.
and this time the both of them were standing at polar opposite, hot and cold, just like the places they stood in their shared room, but now, the room doesn't feel so lovely like it used it.
Elias eyebrows were knotted in worry while Dominic's were knotted in anger and frustration.
Elias's hands were tightly interlaced together in hopes that Dominic's would take his other hands' place soon while Dominic's were tightly interlaced to prevent him from hurting the one he loved the most.
yet, Dominic still couldn't find it in him to show love to the man standing directly in front of him, one more word and Dominic would do things he would regret for life.
"Dom please look at me, i'm here for you. i always am, please let me in-"
even before he could finish his sentence, Dominic lashed out at him, yelling for him to let him be and that he does not need his pity when he's at his lowest. the venom that he spat at Elias started to burn Elias's skin, sizzling into his core and tearing down everything that he built for Dominic, well more like the things that he built for the both of them.
"sometimes i wish i never met you." .
and that did it, it shattered Elias's heart, hearing it come from his lover's mouth.
nodding slowly, it was a sign of defeat, Elias rose his white flag. Dominic's venom won, like it always does but this time, Elias has nothing left to rebuild on.
"i wash my hands off you, Bandit."
as they said, 'the anger in your heart will leave you cold' and Dominic felt exactly what it meant.
Dominic never knew that someone calling him by his code name had such an impact on him, the sound of the door slamming made his heart drop, his fingers reaching out for where his lover once was, just a few seconds too late, a few words too much, now it's just a cold empty space, just as cold as it was in the beginning of the fight.
I'm the same, but I'm bolder
you'll get home, but I'm on my way out now
not the same destinations
I will stay when you get off the train
they spent their days apart, avoiding all contact with each other.
to others it seems as if they hated each other now with a burning passion, but instead, the burning in their heart was not the one for hate, but the one for love, passion held back by pride and how knows what else.
they were different, very different and as Elias used to tell Dominic, 'opposites attract', the same saying that kept the relationship going for so long, only for all the time and effort to go waste with a simple sentence spat out in the spur of the moment.
"Elias, you okay?" the same question asked over and over again by different operators, all the operators except the one that Elias wants to hear it from.
he had the same answer ready whenever they asked, but yet had a different one for when the right one asks.
his hope dimming day by day as the other slowly became a strangers once more, the red sting tinning even more as time pass yet their love still burned for each other.
Elias was still on board waiting for the other to come to him, little did he know, his other has long gotten off.
maybe it was better this way, or perhaps, meant to be this way.
