Someday - Nickelback
It wasn't the first fight that they'd had. In fact, lately they seemed to fight all the time. She had agreed to run with him. She hadn't asked him to stop being what he was. She had told him, that if she was to love him, then she had to love him as he was. To change him, or to ask that he change for her, would defeat that love before it started.
He had thought that she would be accepting of him, and at first she had been. He was a doctor, he should have seen the signs that she wasn't happy. But they had both missed it, or at least he had.
That had led to her bags being packed and waiting at the door. He wanted to promise to change, to give up all that things that made him a most wanted criminal, but he wasn't sure he could or that he wanted to. She was asking so much.
"Don't leave me." The words left his mouth before he realized that he'd was thinking him. She made that happen. He'd never had that issue before he met her.
"I cant live like this, Hannibal." She clenched her fists. He knew she was trying to hold back the tears that were forming in her eyes.
"I will try to change. I cant promise today, that would be hypocritical. I can offer you someday. Will you accept that?" She sighed.
"I wonder when." She said it softly, mostly to herself.
"I know, Clarice."
"Someday?"
"Someday." He nodded to confirm his words, as if the head gesture would give it more weight, more validity. She sighed again.
"Ok. I can live with someday." He smiled softly at her, and she allowed him to pull her close enough to kiss.
"Someday." He whispered against her lips, and it became a brand on her skin.
