Lost in your eyes

He had always been vigilant; keeping them all at arms length, never allowing any to break his carefully constructed walls and enter his heart. He’d laughed at the weak, the foolish ones who made themselves vulnerable to wounds that didn’t heal.

Now he stood teetering dangerously on the precipice and his head spun. His mind screamed at him to run, to flee before it was too late. His heart screamed at him to surrender.

“Ethan?”

The deep, warm voice called to him and turning he lost himself in the depths of his lover’s eyes and knew his heart had won.

Salvation caught the last train out tonight.

He knew where he was headed, Sunnydale, California. He could feel it. The pull on his heart like a compass needle pointing north. What he didn't know was what he’d do once he got there.

The hurt, the all consuming anger within cried for justice, for revenge. His heart just ached for one more glimpse, one last caress.  Maybe even a chance to find out why?

He stood in the shadows watching as they emerged from the school building. The children veered off leaving Rupert standing alone.

His eyes closed; his heart reeled.

Lovely, hon! Poor, poor, Ethan. He really didn't do so well out of the whole affair. And I just love the title of the second one.

*Squishes Ethan* no he didn't do too well at all did he? Maybe there is hope for the future?

The title is from Miracle by Jon Bon Jovi.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! LOL.

[monkeyscorpion.livejournal.com]

Yay! I've been waiting for more G/E goodness. *pets Ethan*

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL. Thanks! Yeah I have been trying to play catch up on some wip's and also to get my fall_for_spike submissions written cause my day is rapidly approaching!

[monkeyscorpion.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can forget about those...honest.

You can devote all your time to G/E, I'll let you. :)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL... Right!! So when my readers get cranky with me I can send them your way?? lol

I will try to get some more Gethan's done soon.. I really do love doing them.

[monkeyscorpion.livejournal.com]

I really do love doing them.

*giggle*

So when my readers get cranky with me I can send them your way?

Shh! They'll never notice! :)

These are both lovely! I was just thinking yesterday that it's been awhile since I'd seen G/E from you.

I think you've written some other things recently that I've missed... I'll have to play catch up this weekend once my hell-week is over!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them. Yeah I have been trying to concentrate on finishing off one of my wip's and also trying to get my fall_for_spike fics written. The muse has, however, felt the need to diverge and write a few Wes/Faith ficlets. *sigh*

I am stressing that I won't get my fall_for_spike fics finished in time! They are only ficlets and I KNOW what I want it they just don't seem to want to make it from my head to the page!

These are lovely.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie! I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Another wonderful glimpse of what went right and what went wrong...

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked them... it has been a while since my last ones... but with TRYING to finish 'Dreams' and also to get my fall_for_spike fics done I haven't really had time to do these... and I too easily allow myself to be distracted by drabbles... they are so much fun!
