(hey i'm so sorry I have went for a trip and then it's been a mess on my times and biological clock - jetlagging is a bitch.... please forgive me!)
Alex's heart broke into a million pieces seeing the sad smile that was accompanied by the single tear drop falling from his beloved' brilliant eyes. He was still sleepy, he could see that... He was questioning himself now, for how incompetnet he was RIGHT after he vowed to not disappoint Elliot again.
He had to look up at the ceiling to force back his tears. THis was heartbreaking... Elliot was snuggling so close to him and the words that he uttered were little daggers stabbing on his heart. He was right there, yet his mate was missing him so much he was crying. He had been absent, what he did was merely physically existing under the same roof, yet he had been so distant from his mate Elliot was so insecured.
He stroked Elliot's back and attempted to wake him from his half-sleep, wanting him to break away from this melancholy, but he found his throat restricted with this big lump, and all that came out was weak whimpers, his sense of being a faliure intensified feeling his shirt wetted from Elliot's tears.
He could no longer control his own tears. Feeling Elliot's hand wiping them away, he couldn't believe how kind-hearted his mate had been. His mate had been so good at hiding his own suffering, he was entirely clueless - or maybe not completly in the dark, he just didn't know how under his tough pretense, Elliot had been crying so much. The omega had been bearing this heavy burden on his back, alone, on this difficult road in pregnancy, and as alpha he was a miserable failure for not being there earlier, breaking his promise time and again because of work... DAMNED work!
He could no little other than rubbing along Elliot's back, luring him back asleep. THe lunch that he'd made had gone cold and become not edible. His phone buzzed and he clenched his eyes shut tight knowing the conference call was aobut to begin. There were so many attachments, obligations, things that had prevented him from being there with what OUGHT to be his first priority. With a heavy heart, he put Elliot back down to his slumber. This itme he would not break his promise. After this one last conference, he would break away from the company for the entire 6 months ahead.
He tiptoed bcak out, forgetting the tray of food, and finished the meeting in record time, wanting to get back to Elliot before he got woken up from hunger.
(i'm open from this point on, Elliot could wake up and act like nothing was wrong, or he could still be asleep and Alex would serve him afternoon tea/dinner on bed ;))
