A bit of a sad fic based on the song It Can Never Be the Same that revolves around Robert and Mary.

*VERY WHOLESOME* /current robingallith/ Robert thinks back to the days before; before he married Mary and before life went on, where he and Simon could no longer be together as they were before- and now only exist as friends. Though Robert was always a moody bastard who tends to overthink things, maybe there are still past feelings burning under the surface of what seems to be the present day cure

[Robert Smith/Simon Gallup] Simon is awoken in the middle of the night.

when the falling out of the cure and the mental abuse Robert had to endure finally ended; Robert finally returns home. however, now that Robert has given up; what is he to do now? every moment Robert is tucked away in his room, his mind continues to race with the memories he tried to forget. the traumas caused from recording pornography is still fresh and Robert finds himself still longing for the self destructive distraction that started this whole mess in the first place. without the company of the people he used to call friends; Robert finds himself in a similar cycle of depression he was in before he was in the cure. Robert didn't know how to move on, he couldn't get the images of Simon's final expression out of his mind- or the memory of that horrible night.... people always said that time would heal wounds; but Robert believed his wounds ran too deep to ever be healed. ************* book 3 of the faith series!!!
