Authoress' Notes:
I've had a good day so far. I got out of my math class an hour early, and I've written three oneshots! :D
My entire take on the Nero/Ayel relationship is pretty well defined in "Intoxication" and basically consists of Nero being angsty and Ayel being a masochist- only it's deeper than that, 'cause that just sounds stupid. So keep that in mind when you read my N/A pieces, since otherwise you might not see where they're coming from.
This one is pretty simple. I don't even know that I'd call it a complete story; it's more of a very detailed observation Nero's making.
WARNING: violence, gay Romulans
DISCLAIMER: If I owned it, the gay would be way more obvious.

Control
---
Sometimes Nero couldn't really tell who was in control, himself or Ayel.
Usually, Nero was pretty sure it was him. When he punched, when he kicked, when he took Ayel roughly, pounding away at that pretty little body until it was green with blood, Nero felt confident that he was in control.
But sometimes, he saw a shift in Ayel's expression, a gleam of victory when Nero snapped and began hitting him, a satisfied smirk when Nero drew blood, and now that he thought about it, the arguments that led to their violent, loveless trysts were usually started by Ayel.
Nero was pretty sure he was in charge of Ayel, but he couldn't help but think that maybe that was exactly what Ayel wanted.

Hope you liked it. I know it's really short, but I think I'm better at giving you an idea of a story with lots of short pieces rather than telling you a longer story. (See: the epic fail that is "Enemy")
Please review.
