DM/EW, PG


Lij bit his lip thoughtfully, contemplating the rows of yogurt before him. Dom watched Lij, examining his slightly furrowed brow, his lip pulled up under teeth which peeked out, glinting in the harsh flourescent light.

Without realizing it, Dom reached his hand out & gently stroked Lij's cheek. Lij moved away from Dom's fingers, reaching smoothly forward to grab a container of blueberry yogurt and throw it in the basket.

Dom felt his cheeks burning, & noiselessly followed Lij as he moved down the aisle.

"Oww!" Lij yelped, pulling his finger back quickly from the handle of the cart, a drop of blood welling up. "Damn broken carts."

Dom gently grabbed Lij's hand. "Let me see that," he mumbled, putting Lij's wounded finger into his mouth.

Lij quickly pulled his hand back, & Dom saw a look of mixed fear & anger flash across Lij's face.

Dom looked past Lij at a mother holding her little girl's hand, then looked down at the dirty tiled floor.

I hate this place.
