Drabble goodness. (Un_love_you Prompt #14)

Yes, I just claimed this table (http://lonetread.livejournal.com/14758.html). No, it's not even official yet. All the same, here's my first offering. Title sucks, but I've been awful at those lately.

un_love_you, #14 – I’m awake and you’re breathing.
Summary: I'm lying awake, and you're breathing. McBeth; set sometime after "Love Lasts Forever" (mainly, "The Mortal Cure" never happened).

 

 

It’s early in the morning. I’m lying awake, and you’re breathing.

I can hear you outside the door to my apartment – your breathing, steady and regular. Your heartbeat, which I’d recognize anywhere, lets me know it’s you.

I wonder why you’re here.

I wonder when you’ll knock.

And then you do.

And as I always do, always will, I get up and go to answer the door. I have to. Because it’s you. And because the one thing I can no longer bear to hear anymore from outside that door is the sound of your footsteps as you walk away.

Wow. That was awesome.
I think it really captured Mick's feelings and perspective. I think you nailed his voice, too.
Great story. Great job.
