I Really Meant It

Title: I Really Meant It
Author: pirateslotr87

Rating: PG-13 for language ;)
Summary: Elijah has something to say
A/N: This is unbetaed and written fairly quickly. And my LJ is messed up. I wrote this for my the great, great Asleia. =) <3



Dom always thought he was kidding when Elijah told him he loved him, or it was just a friendly “I love you”. But what he didn’t realize was that after a couple months of knowing him, Elijah meant it with all sincerity.

****

I didn’t really see it coming. I mean, who does? You’re friends with someone, you get close to them, and then like a lightening bolt it hits you. You tell yourself that you can’t possibly be in love with them, it’s probably just a phase, but deep down you know the truth.

You contemplate over and over whether to tell them or not. You go through every single scenario in your head about what would happen if you did tell them. The good, the bad, mostly the bad though, because the good is the one thing that can’t possibly come true, right? I mean why set yourself up for a let down?

I had been trying to sleep for hours. It was 3:14 and I was still debating on whether I should walk into the next room and tell Dom just how real it is when I said, “I love you”. The events from the night were what had been keeping me awake.

All the hobbits had gone clubbing and I hadn’t been feeling to great all night so I wasn’t up for much dancing. I mainly just sat at the bar and had a beer or two. I watched Dom out dancing on the floor with Billy and Sean, grinding away, having so much fun. I wished I could’ve been one of those two.

I guess I underestimated how bad I was feeling, because when I got up to go dance with them, I almost fell over from dizziness. Dom must’ve seen me because he came running over.

“Lij, are you okay?” he asked, holding my body up.

“I…yeah…No” I finally managed to get out.

“C’mon, let’s get you home.” I heard him say something to Sean and Billy but I was too out of it to really hear what it was.

The next thing I knew I was lying on my bed. I tried to sit up, but my body ached and it felt like a thousand knives were being stabbed into my head at once.

“FUCK” I said.

“You’re awake.” I heard a voice from beside me say. I turned to look, and put a name with a face. Dom.
“I’m staying the night wit you, Lij. I hope you don’t mind. You look like shit and you scared us all tonight. You all but fainted at the club tonight.”

“Mmm, yeah. What?” Dom kind of laughed at my comment. It was music to my ears.

“I’m going to go sleep in your guest bed, so if you need me, I’m nearby.” Dom walked out my room but didn’t shut the door, for obvious reasons.

It took me about 15 minutes to actually turn my head and look at the clock. 1:30. Great. And now I can’t go back to sleep.

So, I’m sitting in my bed, thinking non-stop about the “boy next door” and resisting the strong urge to touch myself. The fact that I couldn’t move my body much, was also contributing to that factor.

Despite the agonizing pain I was in I in, I got up out of my bed and walked to the room next door. I stood in the doorway for a little bit and looked around. Dom was sitting in the bed, he wasn’t sleeping, and he wasn’t really doing anything. He was just, sitting there.

“Dom?” I managed to get out.

Dom quickly spun around and immediately turned bright red. “Something wrong?”

“I need to talk to you…” He looked confused.

“Here, come sit down, I don’t want you collapsing like you did earlier.”

I sat on the bed and just stared at him. He looked at me and smiled.

“Dom, I love you.” I blurted out, unable to control myself.

“Hahahaha. Oh Lij, I love you too, mate.”

“No, Dom, I really love you.” Dom’s expression changed from a smile, to a look of stone.

“I think your fever is getting to you. Why don’t you go back to bed?”

“Dom, I don’t have a fever. I know quite well what I’m talking about. I’ve felt like this for almost a year now, and I’ve just never had the guts to tell you. I understand if you never want to talk to me again. I told you because it was eating me up inside and I can hardly go one more day of looking at you and you not knowing. I’d rather have you know and hate me, then you not know and me have the pain of never knowing if we could’ve had something.” I had started to cry and I wanted to get out of the room as fast as I could.

I stood up too quickly and almost fell over again. Only this time, there were no arms to catch me. I knew there wouldn’t be. I walked back to my room as fast as I could and collapsed on the floor and cried.

What had I done?

I guess I didn’t hear the knocks on my door, if there were any. I felt a warm body sit down next to mine and then a hand on my shoulder.

“Lijah” I heard Dom say. “What you don’t know, is that when I said, “I love you” I meant it in the same way you did.”

I looked up to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.

“And another thing you don’t know” he continued “Is that I’ve wanted to do this ever since I met you.”

I felt warm lips press up against mine, and then a soft tongue sweep my mouth.

It was probably a combination of the kiss, and my sickness that caused it, but when Dom pulled away, I fainted.

“Oh, shit.” I heard Dom say.

When I opened my eyes, I was back in my bed, and in Dom’s warm embrace. I rolled over to snuggle closer to him.

“Good morning sleepy head.”

“What time is it?” I asked.

“3:00 in the afternoon.”

I smiled and leaned over to kiss Dom on the lips.

“I love you.”

Oh WOW! I think this is my favorite thing of all you have written so far. Just so sweet! I love the way that you write in a "I"-perspective. (Get what I mean?)
Mm, very very good.

Btw,
It was probably a combination of the kiss, and my sickness that caused it, but when Dom pulled away, I fainted.
I so would have fainted too!! *fantazises*

Great job. :)
