Basically since the first time I played it when I was like eleven, I've kind of had a crush on Diana. As such, a fic of this nature was essentially inevitable. Let's age Diana up and make her like 17 instead so that this isn't creepy, shall we? Based on the song "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles.
Gravity
I was sent to the orphanage when I was fourteen. At the time, you were just barely fifteen, but you were still feared and practically worshipped by the younger children. And immediately, you claimed me as your own. I latched on to you. I was so fragile at the time, and you seemed so strong, like you could protect me from the terrifying world around us. How was I supposed to see that you would never protect me from the two people I actually needed it from- Hoffman and you, yourself, Diana.
The way that you treated some of the other children was... Absolutely despicable. The horrible things that you did to Jennifer made me sick to my stomach... But you were never like that with me. Your attitude towards me had always been so much different. It's taken me years to see how you purposely made me feel weak, as if I need you. When you're not around me, I almost feel as if I can stand on my own feet, as if I can be strong, yet the second I feel your presence, all of the fragile strength is immediately drained away. You say you love me... Maybe you do. But whether you do or not, why is it that it always comes out when you need an excuse? Why do you only tell me you love me when Hoffman's hands have wandered onto you and you need an outlet for your shame, yet when they have strayed towards me, you have no comfort or love to spare? Why do you only love me in the exact moments when I consider standing up to you? Why is your so-called love nothing more than an intangible chain, a way to hold me without lifting a finger to touch me?
I've pondered these thoughts for so long... Yet I can not dare to speak them aloud. Because no matter how much I may wish to be my own person, to stand up for myself, no matter how much I want you to just leave me be, I couldn't stand it if you did. I love you. I'm completely dependent on you. I need you, no matter how much I want to stand tall, the way that I'm supposed to, I could never force myself out of your gravity.
You have no idea how much I want your love without the abuse. How much I would love to just drown in your love without having to feel your rain. You are truly my everything- Everything I want, everything I have, everything I need. Everything. I couldn't live without you, it's that simple.
So no matter how much I may want for you to set me free, I know that even if I could work up the strength to fight it, something will always bring me back to you. It never takes too long, I'll always fall right back into your gravity.
End
Gotta love songfics, right? Since the song was written to "You" I figured the fic should also be addressed to "You" wherein "you" is Diana specifically. As always, hope you enjoyed my lovelies and I will hopefully see you in the next update.
