lotrpschallenge #20, Insecurities. Also, it’s my first time writing something besides Monaboyd, so be gentle, yeah?
Dom had never really felt the need to fit in. He’d never cared if anyone was looking at him, or talking about him, or wondering what he’d do next.
But then, along came Lord of the Rings. Along came worldwide fame, along came fangirls, and media attention, and a sudden rush of love. Or at least lust. So Dom began caring what people thought. He began caring that people were looking at him, judging him. He fell in love with the spotlight, soaking its bathing warmth into his skin and never wanting to let it go. He painted his nails, wore eyeliner, and snogged half his cast mates in front of the cameras.
Eventually, though, Rings endes. The others drift off to bigger and better things: Orlando to Pirates, Viggo to Hidalgo, Sean A. to that Adam Sandler movie. And that bright light fades, no matter how much Dom tries to snatch it and hold on.
He writes things on his hands so that people will comment. He's moved to Los Angeles for the sole purpose of stealing all the spotlights he can from everyone else. He craves attention; craves flashbulbs and microphones in his face; craves thousands of screaming girls and women (and some men) falling over themselves to touch him, look at him, talk to him. He'd started acting strange as an escape, but it’s become a prison, something that locks him down and holds him back.
And then there’s Elijah. Elijah, who can’t understand why Dom feels like he’s all alone, but tries so hard to make him feel loved. Elijah, who has no idea why Dom looks so haggard and thin and pale when he hasn’t had work in a while, but drags Dom to premiers and the beach and parties, dinners and bar hops. Elijah, who doesn’t understand why dreams of being on his own make Dom wake up shaking and sweating, but who curls up with him anyway, murmuring soothing words until Dom falls asleep again. Elijah, who takes care of him, loves him, pays attention to him.
And really, sometimes, that’s all Dom needs.

I didn't feel sorry for Dom until the last two "paragraphs". It wasn't until the introduction of Elijah that we saw something other than a selfish Dom. We saw a scared one, and it was a far "nice" image.
well done. For a first Dom/Lijah, this was pretty good!

I have a three icon limit, so consider yourself lucky. Yes, I could pay, but... it's free so I don't want to...

I don't mind only having three though, it just means I only have one icon EVERYWHERE at a time... but that's okay, I change them regularly...
well, this is unrelated.
