Im Morgengrauen erwart ich Dich



Dom misses the sunrise.

Getting up in the five o'clock hour was never something he did easily, but standing outside the make-up trailer and watching the sun come up over the hills; blood red light creeping over mountaintops, reflecting on the glittering water of little lakes and spilling into valleys, turning New Zealand into Middle Earth right in front of his eyes, is the one thing he always looked forward to.

These days he stays awake long after Elijah has gone to bed with a mumbled, 'See you in the morning' and waits, facing the glass doors in the living room, sitting on the couch, a mug of long gone cold tea in his hands.

Sometimes he'll fall asleep like that, and the stains on the carpet are all that's left in the morning, when this strange feeling of melancholy has been replaced by a giddiness about what the new day may bring. But more often than not he'll be up long enough to see the sun rise.

Even if it's from the wrong side.

Dom hasn't felt right in a long time and he finds this is the only way he can face the sunrise in Los Angeles. Where they are never as red, never as clear and never as magical as he remembers them being back in New Zealand.

He believes, that if he lets enough time pass, he'll be able to get up in the morning and watch a sunrise from the right side without feeling tears sting in the corner of his eyes again.

Until he's sure though, he would rather go on missing them.

Aww, honey, that's lovely. Angsty and melancholy and I want him to be back in NZ too.

Hee! I don't think I'm minion-having material, although obviously you are top of the list of possibilities. I might have to demand that you get my username right before I take you on full time, though ;p

What does the title mean? Something along the lines of 'in the morning I [something] you'? I will improve my German, snippets of vocabulary at a time.

This was a very nice read. I really do like the way you incorporated the sunrises that Dominic once upon a time viewed in New Zealand and now in Los Angeles with his particular feelings and the changes he's going through. Change is especially hard once you're comparing the past life and scenery with the present that doesn't quite fulfill.

By reading this, I realized that I should totally wake my ass up in the morning and view at least one sunrise in my lifetime.

Really liked this, but so sad. *le sigh* Poor Dom up all night. Is there to be more? *is hopeful*
