Summary: Round here we all look the same; Round here we talk just like lions; But we sacrifice like lambs
Author's Notes: If anyone's ever heard "Round Here" by Counting Crows they are going to read this and go "bitch stole the song!" but haha since I'm telling it's alright. It's not a song fic but the fic is based on my intrupation of the song. So yeah. For Erin, mi novia, amor. And this might be my last fic for a while. *le sigh*
Dominic walks into the room like a ghost into the fog. Billy barely notices the contrast between the white of Dominic's shirt against the white walls of their living room. It's all the same to him and Dominic's just another blur out of the corner of his eye. He wonders if it's because he's crying or if he just doesn't want to see Dominic anymore.
Dominic leaves the house and walks between the rain to his car and sits inside until he's frozen and can't stop shaking. Then he starts driving and doesn't know where he's going until he gets there. Round here Dominic doesn't know his way around. Round here Dominic's a cold and wet leaves in the wind trying to find a safe place to land. Dominic drives until he finds himself at the ocean. He walks out with a suitcase in his and wonders if the ocean would take him home.
He walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like he's walking on a wire in the circus.

Billy parks his car outside Elijah's house and walks inside without asking. He sits on Elijah's couch and doesn't say anything until he's certain it'll come out right.
"I'm more then a little misunderstood."
Elijah doesn't know what to say and he's sure Billy doesn't want to hear it anyway. Billy has trouble acting normal when he's nervous and he's quiet as a mouse.
"I feel like I'm losing him before I even had a chance. I feel like I'm acting like a lion and he's lamb. I love him like I've never loved anyone else in my life but around here... around here.. he's slipping through my hands."
Elijah tries to comfort him with silence and Billy falls asleep on his couch.
-
Dominic runs like the wind through the lighting and rain. He's at Elijah's door because he knows Billy's inside. His fists pound against the door and his voice echo's in the rain.
"It's only in my head Billy! I know it's only in my head! We're still good, everything works. Billy! I'm sorry."
He can't tell if he's crying or if it's the rain but he doesn't care. Billy opens the door. Dominic looks at him and starts to talk again and hopes Billy listens. "You should try and take a shot can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
"I don't want to take a shot. I just want you to stop looking at tall buildings and thinking about jumping. You keep said you're tried of life and I'm starting to think you're really tired of something else."
Dominic looks like an innocent child. "Can I come inside?"
"It's not my house to let you in."
Dominic takes it the wrong way and walks back into the parking lot. Billy take its the wrong way and shuts the door and walks back into Elijah's house. He looks at him as he stand there the real innocent child.
"Round here, he'll always be on my mind, I'll always have something to say."
Elijah speaks for the first time and doesn't sound like a child. "Hey man I got lots of time."
They sit back on the couch and unlike children they aren't sent to bed early and they stay up very late.
-
Dominic sits on the sand at the beach and runs the sand over his hands until he feels he's part of the grain. It's too dark and he can't see anything expect the ocean waves that creep up to his feet and then flee back into the sea. He thinks about Billy again like a wave in his mind. The thoughts of him keep pushing forward and Dominic waits for them to weaver back.
"Will you catch me if I'm falling?" Dominic calls out to the space between the moon and him. "Catch me if I'm falling.. because I'm falling down on you."
Dominic's under the gun around here and he's the innocent one. "I can't see nothing."
No one can't see anything around here.

However, were you typing this very quickly? Because if I'm correct, I saw a few typo-ish errors.
Round here Dominic's a cold and wet leaves
He walks out with a suitcase in his and wonders
You keep said you're tried of life
Anyway, lovely fic. He thinks about Billy again like a wave in his mind. The thoughts of him keep pushing forward and Dominic waits for them to weaver back. That's a great line (is it weaver or waver? eep). It feels like it belongs in the song.
So did I interpret this correctly in thinking that they almost took each other back but misinterpreted each other at the last minute and are still separate? If so, that was so bittersweet. I'm not a fan of fics with unhappy endings, but this managed to be sad without, um, bothering me.
A lot of this comment is very vague and doesn't make sense. I'm sorry. Just wanted to tell you what I liked about your excellent fic. :)

Thank you :) I tried my best not to just use the lyrics but get some original in there as well. :)
Ah yes, sorry about the typo's, I swear, I beta other people's stuff and I catch those things but when I beta my own, I seem to miss things. Thanks for pointing them out.

Yeah, that's what I was amining for. Sort of saying that they keep misinterpreting each other and are blind to seeing beyond it.
but this managed to be sad without, um, bothering me.
I'm very glad you weren't bothered. :)
