.: One on One with Taim and Dawn :.

[Taim]

Mic went stiff as he held her, trying to force down the instinctive feelings only brought about by the pain she'd been through. "Just don't hurt me again..." she whispered, almost silently.

((gtg, sorry for lame post. goodnight))

[Thankyouforthecoffee]

( Bye. )

Andrew looked down at her. His eyes seemed to be lost. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and stumbled out of the door, walking further down the hall. "No...No Mic. Don't say that." He whispered, his voice strained. "Please don't ever say that again Mic."

[Taim]

Mic nodded, closing her eyes and leaning her forehead against his chest. "Its hard not to be afraid, Andrew... After everything... After what so many men did to me... I'm just so scared..."

[Thankyouforthecoffee]

Andrew looked at her. He felt bad. So bad. He couldn't take that back though. He started into a slow jog. His footsteps soft as he did. "Mic..." He whispered, shaking his head rapidly. He skid to a stop at the end of the hall, his shoulder slamming into the wall. "It's dark." He whispered, his eyes trying to adjust. "I..." He started walking down another hall connecting of that one, shaking his head slowly. "Please tell me you love me. Lie if you have too. Just...please." He whispered.

[Taim]

She looked up, surprised. Mic answered automatically, not having to think about what he was asking, "Of course I love you. Why would I have come back for you that night if I didn't?"

[Thankyouforthecoffee]

Andrew shook his head. "Some times they just want money...Or to hurt me. I don't know..." He said, holding her closer. "Say it again. Don't stop speaking. I miss your voice. Oh please tell me again." He pleaded, rolling his shoulders back. "They're going to kill me for this. They'll slit my throat or something. Mic...I...If I can't find my way out of here." He groaned lightly, his hands clutching around her shirt. "Never mind...Don't thunk about it. I'm not letting him take you back." He started running faster, his eyes shutting lightly as he walked. He stumbled into a wall every once in a while, eventually stopping at a dead end. He rested his back to the wall and leaned his head against his shoulder. "I can't...Stand up. I need you too...Open the door to my right. Just...Crawl out the window. It's...It's on the ground. You'll fit. I'll find another way...Just." He set her down on her feet and slid down the wall, leaning his head back. "Mic...Mic I remember the first day I met you.I can repeat it over and over. Every word...every second. I never get tired of telling it. I don't."

[Taim]

Mic knelt beside him, worry scratching deep lines into her expression. "I'm not going to leave you, not after just getting you back. I can't belive you'd even ask me to."

[Thankyouforthecoffee]

Andrew shook his head, his body slowly leaning into hers. "Then carry me..." He whispered, his head gently pressing into her stomach. "I'm so tired. I am. I haven't slept in..." He thought for a minute, fighting himself to stay awake. "It's the third day...With out sleep. I thought...Maybe..." He started losing conciousness. He pulled his head up and took her face between his hands and put on a weak smile. "You have...Such pretty eyes. Mic...Oh Mic." He kissed her gently on the lips before closing his eyes again. "Sing me to sleep. Please." He whispered.

[Taim]

She cradled his head gently, holding him to her, his forehead pressed against the area below her shoulder. A song that had taken her weeks to learn crept into her mind and she found herself singing the one japanese song that had managed to find a place in her heart, "Anata wa ima doko de nani wo shite imasu ka? Kono sora no tsuzuku basho ni imasu ka?"

*where are you? what are you doing? are you in this endless sky?

[Thankyouforthecoffee]

Andrew smiled lightly, it slowly faded as he fell into sleep. His body fell into hers as he had no more control over his limbs any longer. Sleep. How good it felt. He was afraid to dream though. Of the things he would do to her. He couldn't let Mic get hurt again. Ever. He shouldn't have left her in the first place. He shouldn't have yelled. He shouldn't have fall in love.
