RENT, The Man - Short of the Truth
Title: Short of the Truth
Fandom: RENT
Claim: The Man (Luther)
Other characters/pairings: Mention of April (Luther/April)
Table/Theme Name & Number: I, #1. Faith
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Alludes to April's suicide
Summary: He tries to believe - he knows it isn't true.
Luther jumps a little when he hears the sirens. It isn't the sirens themselves that startle him, because it's New York City, after all. It's the fact that the sirens come from an ambulance that stops at the corner of 11th Street and Avenue B. What scares him more is that when the ambulance leaves, there are no sirens.
He tells himself she's okay. He tells himself it was for one of her roommates - or not, for someone else in the building entirely. He waits, nevertheless, to hear the news, because the reassurances ring false, even in his own head.
