Disclaimer: I own nada, nothing, zilch!!
A/N: so a while ago I wrote 'Telling Him' which was written from Kel's point of view and now thanks to 'misk's suggestion and 'miamouse's desperation I'm doing one from Dom's point of view.
Finding out
I look at her and I can't help but smile. Those hazel eyes draw me in like a sponge does water. Walking over to her my stomach flips. I can't help it – it does every time I see her. I love that she cares so much about other people and I love that class and stature doesn't matter to her.
I just love her.
As I approach I can see something's wrong. She's trying to wear her 'Yamani Mask' but something's so wrong that she just can't keep it up. I'm afraid. I'm, afraid that anything might hurt her – she is too precious to this kingdom and to this world. All I ever want to do is know she's OK. Not that she would ever let anything happen to herself. She's too good a warrior. But despite her excellence fighting defences something is hitting her hard mentally. And I don't want her to hurt!
As I go to ask her what's wrong she stops me. She says she has something to tell me and I'm not to stop her until she's done. I can do nothing but nod as I worry about what she could have to say.
"You are one of my best friends. You have always been there for me when I needed you and for that I thank you. When I first met you I liked you and then I grew to like you more, and now ... and now I love you and I had to tell you."
She say's these words and then turns and walks away.
For a moment I cannot think – I am frozen to the spot, not knowing what to say. And then I realise that she's walking away.
"Wait, you can't just tell me that you love me and leave! We have to talk about this – I have to tell you what I think, what I feel. Kel, please don't walk away!"
I walk over to her and lift her head with my hands. Looking into her beautiful eyes I can see such worry and fear of rejection. How can she doubt it? She is the most wonderful person there is – how can anyone not love her?
"Kel, I have fought things all my life – from bandits to immortals. But since I've met you I've had an impossible opponent; myself. You are a unique, independent and caring woman and I love you. How can anyone not?! But I couldn't tell you – I was selfish, afraid of getting hurt, but in not telling you I have tortured myself more. My heart yearns for you and I can no longer deny it. Kel please don't walk away – you would leave me a broken man."
And saying this I realise that she would. I love her so much that just the thought of her leaving me brings tears to my eyes. She is my world and without her it would stop turning. She says that I have stolen her heart – she has shown me my heart and I cannot lose it.
And so with these thoughts I lean down to kiss her – realising that she is my better half, she is who I aim to be and the light of my life. And nothing could stop be being here. In her arms – it is where I was born to be.
A/N: so that's it folks. It may be better than before or worse but I won't know what you think unless you review!! (please??)
