Disclaimer: This is my first Hollyoaks fic, so PLEASE be nice in your reviews (hint hint)... I don't own Hollyoaks, nor do I Brendan Brady. 'Cuz, trust me... if I did, this is SO not how I'd spend my time. (Grins evilly)
Please review, and read. No, scrap that. Read and review. There. Sounds better.

Rae's murder had been the last straw for Ste. As he sat on his bed, reminiscing over the past few days, he shook his head in disbelief. So did everything Brendan had ever said mean nothing in the end?
After all the pair (how mis-matched: one so possessive he would beat his significant other if he so much as caught him talking to other people, different gender completely irrelevant, and the other stronger physically and mentally than he and everyone except Brendan thought.
Brendan knew, or had an idea of just how strong Ste was, and liked testing his limits, making him stronger in a way. It was a weird way of showing it, but Brendan really did love Ste.
Ste remembered how his lover's eyes had desperately connected with his in a last attempt to be saved, how he had refused to say anything except 'I'm innocent, blame Silas!' over and over, and then the final, uncharacteristic bow of the defeated Brendan Brady and how he had whispered 'I love you' as he got in.
It was true what they say.
No matter how much you love someone, no matter how much you do, or say, you can never change that person's ways, no matter who you were in relation to that person.
No one could ever change one Brendan Brady. Not even his lover on and off for so many years, no matter how hard he tried.
The last thing he did before he fell asleep, was get up and place his hand on the window, and smiled a sad smile full of broken promises and dreams.
A single tear slipped down Ste's face. "I love you, Brendan Brady."
Half way across the country, Brendan climbed on his bed and looked out of his window. "I'm sorry, Ste. I love you, more than you'll ever know."
Simultaneously, both got into their beds and closed their eyes, allowing the thoughts of their lover to fill their heads, before succumbing to a peaceful sleep.
Finished! Another coming your way soon :)
