Pretty Words

Pairing: Grindelwald/Dumbledore

Title: Betrayal

Word Count: 99

It was the only thing he could think of right now. It didn't matter that they had been on separate sides of the war; it didn't matter that they had opposing views; it didn't matter that they had both lost people, important people who had mattered to them. He knew all of that. He knew that when it came to it, war and love were two entirely different things.

But he had never expected his erstwhile lover to turn on him, to twist and use his worst fear against him.

He had expected betrayal, but not of this degree.

Title: Damnation

Word Count: 280

Sad blue eyes stared at him, pleaded for him to understand. They begged him to accept that this was a war, and in war casualties had to occur, and one side definitely needed to fall in order to finish it.

He knew him so well. He could read the contours of his expressionless face; in the thin lips and the long nose; in the high cheekbones and in the smooth, gaunt cheeks; in the high forehead and the set of his slim shoulders; he could read him.

He could read that every part of him, every single line of his body was screaming for him to realise, to forgive him, that he loved him, treasured him, worshipped him, and that he was sosososo sorry.

And he could read in the bright, usually sparkling blue eyes, he could read that he wanted him to accept that he may have been a leader of one of the sides, but one side had to fall in order to finish a war, just as there had to be two sides to begin one.

And love had no part in war when they were on opposing sides.

Love be damned if it meant he could win.

"Gods damn you," he whispered. Blue eyes flinched at him. "Gods damn you."

"Please, please, you have to understand- please-"

"Gods damn you!"

He had known his fear, his fear of isolation, and yet he still used it, still locked him away in a place where only he could visit.

"Gods damn you!"

Blue eyes flinched, dulling once more as they regarded the slouched, broken figure of his once-upon-a-time lover.

The once-upon-a-time Dark Lord, and the now-firmly-in-place Light Lord.

So, what are your thoughts? Yes, I shamelessly ask for reviews. Ask and ye shall receive, right?

Yes?

So anyway, this is a lovely set of SLASH FIC DRABBLES, which means that there are only SLASH pairings, whether they be yaoi or yuri. I plan to continue this everyday- a drabble a day keeps boredom away, no?

I've got fifty four different pairings already, but hey, suggestions are welcome! *more shameless requests for reviews/feedback/demands*

Yes Emily, I'm looking at you.
