Title: Nothing Left To Give
Rating: Er...PG?
Warnings: Uh...sideways references to sex and nudity.

Izumi didn't want to wake up. She didn't want to acknowledge the next day had come, even as she rose from the haze of her restless dreams to become aware of her fingers grasping the soft fabric of Dominion's new pajamas, even as she felt his hand still in her hair, her bare body against the blankets.

She pretended to sleep because she knew she couldn't bear to speak with him as he gently pried himself free of her arms and carefully moved her over to her half of the bed made by tying their cots together. She did her best to keep her face calm as she heard him working to untie the cots. She had to turn over to hide her face at the sound of his cot sliding back to its original position. She knew he didn't like seeing her cry.

He'd seemed so happy last night. He'd smiled and laughed more than any time she could remember. But he regretted it, she could hear it in his voice. Why couldn't she make him happy?

He had been through so much pain. Thrust into an unwelcoming world with few allies and no direction, humiliated by its actions with nobody to turn to for comfort, mutilated and then held captive and raped before he could even recover from the former, left without hope for months on end. Forced to walk when he was born to fly.

He deserved everything she could give him. She had even said that exactly the night before. She had to make up for everything he'd been through. Had to show him he could enjoy life.

But she'd given him so much already and his smiles were still rare. She'd given him all she could give and he still seemed tired and aching.

Was she not good enough?




...And now I kind of want to make a sulking post on her journal for this.
