Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Dominic (Aug 14, 2001 04:25 a.m.):[/b] Because Donovan was his twin, Dominic could only share his pain and cling desperately to him, his tears touching Donovan as Donovan's tears touched him. There should have been no reason for him to cry, because he had the unshakeable confidence of someone in love for the first time, someone who was unable to fathom eternal loss. But there was-- simply for the reason that if Donovan cried, he must too. Because Donovan was his twin, Dominic held his brother close and gave him all the support he could. He forced himself to forget how he had scorned Donovan's love for Dante in the beginning-- after all, hadn't he been more the willing to do the same? Reserve that should have saved him before returned to him now, and even as he hugged Donovan tightly, when his eyes opened the tears were already gone. Because Donovan was his twin, Dominic was going to find a way to make him happy again. No matter what it took to do so. Dominic understood, this time, why his brother grieved. His hand moved of its own volition to rest lightly on the back of Donovan's neck, over his identification barcode, and he sighed. He knew why he had never wanted to fall in love. He knew what had kept him from ever reaching out to another. He knew because he wore that same brand, and being Creche meant he was just someone else's property. But that didn't mean they could never be happy. He wouldn't let it. There had to be a way to ensure that someday they would see their girls again, that they could live together and just be in love like normal human beings. His midnight eyes widened as he experienced a terrifying epiphany. Maybe there wasn't a way. But maybe there [i]was[/i]... and that possibility to achieve happiness had a name he knew all too well. Dr. Litong. Would his Creche doctor understand? It was a frightening risk. If anyone discovered that they were not intact, that they had broken their conditioning at its most fundamental level, then they [i]would[/i] be sold, they would be separated not just from Dante and Rox, but from [i]eachother[/i]. But if it worked... if Dr. Litong cared for them enough to want them to be happy, then there just might be a way. What, Dominic did not know. How, he did not know either. But he had to try. For Donovan. For himself. [i]No, for Donovan. Always for Donovan.[/i] He gently disengaged from his brother's embrace and took a step back, meeting that tortured gaze and those tearwet indigo eyes with his own. Resolve washed over him at the sight of his twin so distressed, and when Dominic spoke, it was with quiet determination and the upmost reassurance. "We will find a way, Donovan." He gave his brother one last, quick hug and moved toward his own bed, exhausted and already dreaming. When his brother turned off the lights and settled in for another long night, Dominic closed his eyes and whispered two silent words. "I promise."[/quote]
