Halfway through this (right about here "’The problem,’ Elijah thought as he all but purred under Dom's touch. ‘The problem is that what I believe completely contradicts what I've been told to believe.’ “Just let go, Lij,” Dom whispered. “Let yourself believe what's in your heart, right now.”") I realized how similar a situation this was to what I went through not too long ago. It's terribly painful. I just wished it could always turn out so well.

[bluemoonchild]

Wow...I'm sorry this brought up painful memories, and I agree that it would be nice if it could always be a happy ending. I hope you found yours eventually...if not, I have faith that you will...

Thank you for reading...

Oh no, sometimes it's good to feel powerful emotion even if it sometimes is sad. That's the power of the written word. Thank you for putting down an idea or situation that many of us have experienced. It didn't work out, but there are moments and memories that I will cherish forever.

[bluemoonchild]

Good. I'm a firm believer in learning from every experience, and if you can bring cherished memories out of a painful experience, then even better.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I can completly identify with Elijah's struggle. I was raised by Christian (Protestant, not Catholic though) parents, and I felt the same way when I first realised I was gay... I wish then I had Dom to tell me that it was okay, and that he loved me... in fact, just a guy that loved me would have been nice then.... *drifts*

*comes back to earth*

This was a beautiful fiction,and I felt so much power in it because i knew what Elijah was going throgh. I really enjoyed this, and I hope to read more of your stuff soon.

[bluemoonchild]

Thank you for reading it, and for sharing a bit of what it was like for you...I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you read more of my stuff soon, too :-D

Oh, I love this! It's so beautifully written, and so real!
I'm not gay myself, but I can identify with the growing up in a Christian family and being told all your life that it's wrong and the people are evil. But, then once you get older and can really decide things for yourself, you see that they weren't always right.

These 2 parts that I'm going to post really got to me, actually, the whole thing did, but you know what I mean I hope.

“Someone told me once, that love isn’t carved in stone.” Dom paused, waited until Elijah was looking at him. “Love comes when you least expect it, and it rarely takes the form you think it will, or were raised to believe it should.”

And this:
“And I love you,” he said softly. He heard the amazement in his voice, and the weight of his guilt lifted from his chest as he exhaled. He stared at Dom, who seemed poised for flight, tense and pale. “Please don’t leave. I love you
