Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Donovan (Sep 26, 2001 05:27 p.m.):[/b] Donovan lifted his eyes slowly to Dominic's as his brother pleaded with him, and then closed them and tried to regroup. He wasn't angry anymore, not even subconsciously. He was tired. Part of him [i]wanted[/i] to believe that it was over, that things were completely beyond repair and they were already damned. If that were true, he could give up. He could stop worrying and let the world do with them as it would, knowing there was nothing he could do about it. Dominic didn't want him to do that. Dominic wanted him to fight. Donovan was tired of fighting. He wanted to rest. He wanted to be [i]sure[/i] of something, even if that something was his own impending demise. He wanted stability, even if it meant losing all hope. He wanted to be safe, but not from death. He wanted to be safe from disappointment, and total despair was enticingly secure. But... But Dominic was still there. Donovan could hear him breathing, could feel his heartbeat despite the three feet that separated them. There was nothing of Dominic that Donovan could have missed. Had he been blind and deaf he would have known his twin was next to him. He could tell how close Dominic was to abandoning hope, and for a few moments he considered letting him crumble. They would despair together. However much he wanted to, however easy it would have been, Donovan couldn't let Dominic slip into the same state he would have accepted for himself. He couldn't betray his brother like that; Donovan had been the one to bring their unhappiness about in the first place. He couldn't let Dominic suffer for that, not even if he'd ruined their chances of seeing the girls again, or at least reduced them dramatically. For Dominic, Donovan would hope. He opened his eyes and looked at his twin and smiled a very small rueful smile and held out his hand to grasp Dominic's forearm. "Someday," he said in resignation, "Roxy is going to realize what an ass you are, and Dante is going to find out what a fool I am, and we're going to be left all alone again...and you're still going to make me hope."[/quote]
