My first try for a Hornblower fic…
Takes place at the end of 'The Frogs and the Lobsters'.
And before I forget… I own nothing…:(
Enjoy.
By your side
By: K
"Mr. Kennedy…"
I turn.
"Take care of him…"
I nod.
"Off course."
You don't even have to ask Lord.
No matter what, I'll always look after him. I'll always care for him. Always
Although I know he'll never feel what I feel for him, I'll always stand by his side.
I'll be with him, stand next to him, forever. Help him when he needs it. Be there for him when he needs some one. Even though he'll never ask for help.
I'd do anything for you Horatio…
First, it was friendship. Just a strong friendship.
But soon, it became so much more for me.
"Come on Horatio…"
My arm around your shoulder.
She's dead. Poor girl. She didn't deserve that.
But you are not…
I know you wanted to die with her.
But still you followed me…
And I'm grateful for that.
If you wouldn't have followed me, I would have stayed with you.
On that bridge.
I would have stayed.
By your side. Forever!
Well, the Indy came right on time. I really thought we would have died on that beach. Died in some one else's war.
We're standing on the yard, above the sails.
Looking over a huge sea of blue.
The sun shinning. The wind playing in the sails. Hearing the water splash at the bowline .
You're smiling. Finally smiling again…
And so am I. You happy, me happy…
Are you looking at me?
No, I'll be mistaken. I must have imagined…
Why would I keep hoping?
But still… Perhaps… One day…
No…
The end
K: So… what did you think of it? Leave a review to tell me…
