Cait – Sole was a special kind of person in many, many ways. Mostof which revolved around the fact that they somehow managed to put up with Caitand all her baggage and of all people, had chosen her to take to their bed and promise themselves to every night inthe future. It was for this reason and many more that Cait decided that perhapsshe had been a little too harsh on Sole when she said to them that they neededa break, some space from each other for a while. So when she apologised to themfor being such a bitch and asked to have them back, she was shocked when theyturned around and said an outright no.She was left speechless, shocked, utterly devastated and hurt, and it’s becauseof all these conflicting emotions that Cait was forced into falling back on theone instinct that had kept her safe all these years. Anger. She was mad at them becauseshe was mad at herself, none of this would’ve happened if she had of just seenhow much she needed Sole and just fucking grinned and beared the comparatively smallissues that were arising in their relationship. Now she had to go and fuck thisup, the one good thing in her lifeshe has somehow managed to fuck up like everything else. Cait wouldn’t be ableto handle it very well without breaking down and so she’d storm away,unconsciously hugging herself in an effort to keep herself from falling apart.Just as she’s about to drive the needle full of psycho into her arm, she stopsherself and has a moment of clarity. Why should she give them the power tobuild her life back up and then simply destroy it again with just one word? No,she’s done with that. This time, Sole won’t be there to pick her up off theground. So instead she needs to fend for herself again, like a constantlyrecurring headache, her life is in her own hands but this time and this timeonly, she wishes it were cradled safely in that of Sole’s.

Curie – There was no doubt that she loved Sole so very much, somuch so, that to her it was almost painful but as of late there had arisen somevery…troubling issues between themboth. Curie felt claustrophobic, like she was trapped. That’s not to say Solewas the one doing it, or perhaps it might have been, but either way she neededher space and as much as it hurt her to even think of the prospect of beingaway from Sole for any amount of time, she just had to do it. It was like anexperiment – remove one variable to see if perhaps that would have an effect onrelieving the tension she felt – but if anything it made it worse. The flash ofpain they couldn’t hide fast enough when she told them she was leaving them fora little while was an image that haunted her and had a fist of what otherscalled guilt nestle itself within her chest, a constant reminder as to whatshe’s done. It didn’t take long for her toreturn, barely a week in fact, but when she did and when she saw Sole again shecould not contain her happiness. When she hugged them so very close, tears ofjoy in her eyes as she apologised again and again and promised to never do thatto them ever, she knew immediatelythat something was so very wrong. “I can’t be with you anymore, Curie. I’msorry, I just…don’t love you anymore.” Sole’s words sliced through her heart,leaving her quietly gasping as Sole pulled away and left her alone on thestreet of Sanctuary Hills. Her hands would clutch at her chest where the painblossomed greatly, her tears streaking down her petite cheeks as her legs gaveout from beneath her. How could she be so silly? How could she not see how muchof an affect her actions would have had on Sole?She would weep until someoneforced her indoors where she would continue to grieve for her lost love andaching heart until finally falling unconscious, dreaming of happier times whereher heart didn’t hurt so painfully within a tight chest before waking up andrealising that this were her reality now. That her passion for science and lifewas now gone and replaced with pain and misery. How was she to get past this?

Danse – He knew he could be hard on Sole, but lately they justseemed to get on every nerve he had. Danse loved them with all his syntheticheart of course, he’d take a bullet for them and go down smiling, but recentlyhe just couldn’t stand to be near them. After what happened with the BOS, theyseemed to change and instead being the pride and joy of the Brotherhood, theyseemed to seek out ways in which they could bring it down.  Yes Danse was exiled, no hedid not have a place with them at all anymore but God dammit it was his lifeand here Sole is undoing everything they sought to achieve together! How couldhe be okay with that? When he told Sole he needed space to figure things out,he failed to anticipate the hurt look that crossed their features and as such,his heart constricted painfully in his chest. Nevertheless, he had to staystrong but walking away wasn’t as easy as he made it seem. It had been twomonths, two long months where Danse returned to his bunker of solitude toponder the future with the only other important person in his life. Can he livewithout the Brotherhood? Can he live with them turning their back to it? Thesequestions swirled around in his head until he realised just how lonely and howself-absorbed he’d been. This was Solefor crying out loud. The same person who had given up everything in order to keephim alive, who had challenged ElderMaxson and his direct orders to keep the Paladin from being killed…what thehell was he doing? Sole loved him and he them, so why the hell was he out here? When the Paladin returned toSanctuary and hunted down Sole to tell them he had made the biggest mistake ofhis life, the last thing Paladin Danse expected was for them to look him in theeyes and say “No.” As he stood there, mouth open with all the blood drainingfrom his face, his heart kicked into overdrive and all his pride as a Paladinwent completely out the window. He damn near begged for them to forgive him,for one more chance to make it up to them, to make it right between them sothey could live that life they had dreamt about together. But the damage wasdone and Sole had moved on, leaving Danse to face the hardest struggle he’sever had to endure on his own. Once more he’d return to his bunker, never onceallowing those tears that welled so close to the surface to spring forth untilhe was alone and clutching one of Sole’s shirts to his chest as he wept forwhat he had lost by his own foolish hand.
