Lost Without You

She was standing there, facing him, and she was at an absolute loss of what to do. Of what to say. Of how to say anything. She stood facing him, bright green eyes meeting darker ones, and felt something inside of her break at the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes. There was... nothing. Nothing at all in his voice. It was expressionless, almost uncaring, flat, and she just wanted to shrink away. His eyes were even worse - they were cautious. Cautious, around her. Not the openness and even happiness she found before the shit that happened. No, this was distinctly... the opposite. Caution, and was that something darker that she spied too? Reluctance? Her jaw clenched as pain flashed through her, and she looked away even as frustration brought pricks of tears to her eyes. She tried to hide it, but she wasn't sure how well she did; she was a completely open book, especially around him, and it had always been that way. Now, whether he got it or not was generally in the air...

She still didn't know what to say. Sorry? She felt like saying sorry would lead absolutely nowhere, would just make it worse. How was he? Now that would be the epitome of awkward. That she missed him? That seemed to sappy, and though it was true... "I..." she trailed off. She did miss him, if that was even the right word. She wanted what they had - the easy conversations, the trust, the relaxation, and the more than that that they explored for such a short time. The night they spent together, even though very physical, to her it tied them even more closely together.

Screw it. She'd just say it. She took a deep breath, swallowing hard before once more lifting her head, attempting to meet his eyes. "I miss you." It was barely audible, so quietly spoken. It wasn't a whisper, either, no, it was just her tone of voice that was so hushed. It was present tense, too, because the absence hadn't gone away. There was no solution to their split, because even with her return there was a split, and somehow that split was more painful than being stuck away, healing, and no way of communication. Now that they could communicate, and weren't... somehow all the worse.
