    Summary

    “Dick.” She squeezed his shoulder. “Dick, look at me.”

    Slowly, as if he were pushing against a terrible force, he lifted his head.

    “I have known you since I was thirteen years old, and I have known you in a dozen other lifetimes, so I need you to believe me when I say that there is nothing you could do that would make me stop loving you.”

    Dick held her gaze. He looked like he was searching for something in her eyes, so Donna held still and hoped he found it.

    “Did you really know me in other lives?” he asked.

    _____

    Dick and Donna, after the action, through the years.

    Summary

    It's when the music quietens down— not completely into silence, but enough that Ives could speak normally through the mic, that they make eye contact. Tim noticed, even through the lenses of Ives’ glasses, the shine in his eyes, how slightly out of breath he was, how his face scoured the entire venue, his smile subconscious and addictive.

    His smile, something so brilliant, amazing and Tim hadn't known he wished to see it so much, faltered for just a moment when their gazes met and Tim felt a stab of uncertainty crawl through him when Ives’ face turned apologetic, reminders of just the first song punching through their arteries.

    “I’m sorry,” he said, and Tim's ears rang with how honest he sounded, Ives’ voice echoing amongst the cheers, but still, his eyes did not leave Tim's. Almost as if giving him a hidden explanation that the rest of the world was not privy to, “Every single song is about you.”

    Everything. Nothing.
