100_situations. Completed on September 12.
Two moons glow brightly above him. Somewhere in the near vicinity of them are five more, invisible to the naked eye. He ponders them for a while, trying to settle his mind on things that don’t matter and somehow – he has no idea how – he gets onto the topic of Elizabeth, the last person he wants to think about.
Elizabeth.
He misses her, unbelievingly so.
Her loss is like a hole through his heart, sharp and cold and so very unrelenting in its mission to hurt him.
It’s surprising that he’s still able to function properly in fact, if he’s completely honest to himself. Until Elizabeth had been hurt, had her nanites reactivated and then disappeared, he hadn’t realised how much she meant to him. He hadn't realised how much he wanted to protect her and keep her from harm and hold her in his arms. He hadn't realised how deep his feelings were for her.
He hadn't realised how strongly he'd want to save her if anything happened to her.
He swallows and replays some of the moments he spent with her over in his head. He recalls standing by her side when it looked like it very well could be the end for Atlantis and for them. He recalls looks they exchanged, small and insignificant to anyone else, but so powerful to them. They could communicate with their eyes. He had realised it a few weeks after they'd arrived on Atlantis. They were so in tune with each other, that it was second nature.
He remembers not being able to sleep and finding her out on the balcony, where he's standing right now.
As he remembers, he feels the hole in his heart widening. He feels it tear, feels it threaten to destroy him. And it will destroy him. He knows it. It's only a matter of time.
He wraps his arms around his middle, tight, desperately and he fixes his eyes back on one of the moons.
He hopes, wishes, prays, that somewhere out there she's alive and well, and looking up at the same moons.
