Song: I'll Carry You by Rebecca St.
James
Character(s)/POV(s): Kel
Pairing: K/D
Reason: I love
this song, and I thought it was a good situation to use it for, so I
did.
A/N: Okay, this's a short one, too, but I promise, the next one's alot longer - it's longer than any other songfic I've written. Anyways, enjoy - say somewhere around eight reviews for this chapter?
I know
that look in your eyes
I see
the pain behind your smile
Please
don't hold it all inside
Together
we can run
To the
finish line
And
when you are tired
I'll
carry you
Kel watched him, as he sat there, picking at his food. Ever since the fire at Fief Masbolle, Dom had been depressed. And now, to make it worse, the two of them had been separated from the rest of their group when traveling from Steadfast to New Hope to Masbolle.
It was hard to see him like this. He was holding it all inside, but everyone could see it in his eyes. He was hurting, and he wouldn't let anyone inside the barrier's he'd put up. 'If there's anything I can do, Dom, by Mithros, I will…'
I can't
walk this road without you
You
cannot go it alone
We were
never meant to make it on our own
When
the load becomes too heavy
And
your feet too tired to walk
I will
carry you and we'll be carried on
While she sat there, her thoughts drifted to what they'd been through since her time with the King's Own as a squire. That was quite alot to think about. They'd been through so much. One thing she realized while she thought was that she couldn't walk down her road without him – he'd saved her life several times before. But neither could he go on without her, not like this. This burden was too heavy for him to carry on his own.
Share
your burden now
I will
listen
And
when I'm weak
Will
you hold me to the truth
That we
can go on
Three
strands of chord
Cannot
be easily torn…
Then she got up, and moved to the other side of the campfire they'd built. "Dom, are you alright?" She asked. He looked up at her with pained blue eyes, and shook his head. "No. It all hurts so much…" He trailed off, and looked away. "Dom, you can tell me anything, I'll listen. This burden is too big for you to bear on your own." She sat down next to him, and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Kel listened intently as he told her what was on his mind. There was so much going on in his head; even she was surprised how he'd managed to keep that all inside. In a way, that made her realize her own burdens, the ones she never spoke of…
Before
I say one more word
Hear me
say I love you
My love
comes from a heart that overflows
With
love who fills me
Comforts
me
Comforts
you,
With
arms stretched out he said
"I'll
carry you"
She knew this was hard for him, not just the burden, but letting it out, too. She was so intent on listening to what he was saying, and searching his face that she almost didn't hear the last thing he said. "I love you, Kel." She stared at him for a moment, caught completely off guard. His pain-filled cerulean eyes watched her as he apprehensively waited for her reply.

She hesitated, unable to find her voice. "I love you, too, Dom," she said quietly. He smiled for the first time in weeks. "Thank you, Kel, for listening, for everything."
A/N: Reviewing only takes a second! Let me know what you think, or if you have a song to suggest!
