This is a short one.
Before You Come Back
LOTRips. Dom/Billy. PG.
'Billy appreciates weird trivia like that.'
The reason Dom can't get lost in earnest songs about broken hearts anymore is that, now, heartbreak would actually lose him something real. He's scrapped the Death Cab and Elliott Smith from his playlist, and prefers the clever guitar bands who sing about how angry they are or how they wish they're drunk. Dom prefers to relate to self-obsession than Billy-obsession.
He's borrowed Ian's The Truman Show DVD, and when it gets to the part where Jim Carrey's telling Noah Emmerich about Fiji - "You can't get any further away before you start coming back." - Dom gets a sudden hankering for a globe. He wants to see what city is farthest away from Honolulu and what city is farthest from Glasgow, so he can tell Billy. Billy appreciates weird trivia like that. "At least I'm not in ____," Dom would say, "and you're not in ____."
Dom puts Franz Ferdinand on his Winamp and surfs the net looking for a virtual globe, clicking half-heartedly through Google results and irrelevant AskJeeves answers. He considers going out and buying a globe himself, or maybe he can call Viggo because Viggo would probably have a globe, but fuck it. Billy's not the kind of man to cry for want of trivia.
"I fear I'm not the man you knew," writes Dom in his next email, "for your absence has made a pussy out of me."
Billy replies, "That's a compliment, right?"
What Dom wants to do after shooting wraps is hop a plane to Glasgow.
What Dom is doing right now is counting the days.
