Apparently at some point I did write a ficlet for this word, but never posted it here. I only realized this when someone favourited it on FF.net and I had to look back here to see what the word was (as I only noted that it was written for word 50) Wow. Memories.

He watched, eyes half lidded.
It always ended this way.
He came over in the night, alone, besieged by memories he couldn't suppress, couldn't handle alone.
Hal always let him in. Always gave him a cup of coffee, always sat with him, while they grew cold and silent, waiting.
And he always spoke, eventually.
Quietly, at first. Words soft, but forceful. Emotion-heavy, falling like iron feathers on the stillness of the room.
Hal always listened, silent.
He never spoke, not a single sound.
He knew what was required of him, and it wasn't words.
It always happened the same way, as the coffee cup slipped from his fingers, cold coffee forgotten under silent tears, the press of Hal's warm lips, and the touch of hands on skin.
They always moved, slowly, clothing falling on the way, to his bedroom.
They always fell across the sheets.
The lotion always fell to his hand, slick and cold, hand spreading it inside, lubricating and stretching. Hal always felt it was vaguely odd, mechanical. But he never said anything.
They always coupled the same way.
Hal always felt vaguely used.
And then it was over.
In the morning, the first light of dawn broke through the window.
He watched with half-closed eyes.
Clothes were collected, slid over skin.
And he was gone.
Hal wished, just once, for a kiss.
Just one kiss, before he was abandoned. Again.
He curled up in his sheets, cold, despite the residual warmth, and then left the tears come.
Only then did he speak, a broken whisper of a word.
"Jack..."
I need to come back here someday, lol. And ironically, today I'm wearing my Metal Gear Solid 2 t-shirt O.o Also, in addition to having forgotten I wrote this, I apparently forgot how to use LJ formatting. Sorry for delete/repost.
