Dagur and Rae - I'm Here

Dagur stared into Rae's face, his emotions threatening to overflow. But this time, it wasn't in the form of rage. It was as if years of torment, betrayal and hatred had finally come to a head and he wrinkled his nose from the horrific sensation in his chest and the cloudy feeling within his mind. He opened his mouth to speak, but found himself unable to form any words. All he could do was gaze at her as she lay on the bed that they shared. His mouth moved again, but no words would come out, almost as if his vocal chords had been frozen in place. Rae reached out a hand and placed a finger gently against his lips. He flinched for a second, but relaxed at her touch. She smiled kindly as he swallowed the lump in his throat and let out the breath he had been unknowingly holding in. It seemed, to her, this had been a long time coming.


Dagur slowly lowered his head against her chest and shivered as he felt her hand gently carress his back. Rae tilted her head so she could see his face, he felt warm against her and his laboured breathing tickled her skin. He tried to speak again, but, just as before, he couldn't make any sounds. The feelings inside were overwhelming him. Normally he would scream, shout, throw things, punch things, kill something, throw a soldier overboard, but he didn't have the energy to do any of that. He genuinely felt drained. He scrunched his eyes shut and buried his face into her chest, holding onto her tightly as if she was about to vanish as tears suddenly began to stream from his eyes. Rae blinked in alarm. Dagur was not one to shed any tears and she found it to be shocking. After she regained her composure, she ran her hand through his hair, shushing him in a gentle tone. His hands gripped onto her tighter, the tears flowing even more. "Shh... I'm here."
