Broken Promises - A Sean and Elijah tribble... PG
This is the 4th tribble in this 'series' that I had no idea was going to be a series when I wrote the first one.
The tribbles which preceded it are: ' Hitting the Limit', ' They Danced in Silence', and 'A Dawning Sense of Peace'. In the first, Sean knew he'd hit his limit, in the second Chris realized it too, in the third he told her about Elijah, and now in 'Broken Promises' he has to face Elijah and tell him that he broke his word.

Title: Broken Promises
Rating: PG-13 - Just for slashiness
Pairing: Sean Astin/Elijah Wood
Prompt: Obedient
Sean knew he was home. Elijah’s car was in the driveway and Sean could see the faint glow of lights behind drawn curtains.
He was afraid to go in. He’d told Chris; a thing he’d faithfully promised Elijah he would never do… not without talking to him first.
But Sean could not be obedient to that promise. The pain of living a lie was too great. And when it became clear that she strongly suspected… he had to confess. He’d seen her standing there with that look of knowing on her face and he couldn’t remain silent any longer.
He didn’t regret it. He knew it was the right thing to do.
But now… now he had to face the one he loved and tell him that he had gone back on his word and betrayed Elijah’s trust. Now… he had to walk into that house and speak the words that might cost him Elijah’s love.
He got out of the car and walked slowly to the house, his feet leaden. Oh god, he thought, his heart trembling in his chest. ’If I lose him…. He let the thought trail away as he inserted his key and opened the door.
“Sean!” Elijah cried and a moment later he was in Sean’s arms, holding him with strength so fierce that his whole body trembled with it.
“Lijah,” he whispered, holding him fast… trying not to believe this might be the last time... the last time. “Lij,” he choked, the word a sob in his throat. “I told her.”
“It’s alright,” Elijah murmured. “She called me. You didn’t break a promise, Sean, you fulfilled one. The one you made the day we fell in love.”
“I was so afraid I’d lose you, Elijah.”
“Hey,” he whispered tenderly, “I made a promise too.”
