Emptiness

Summary:

Dave Lister never felt alone until this day.
(Set straight after Only the Good.)

Work Text:

He had died …
He had lost him; again!
They were all gone, but losing him again hurt the most.
The fact that he was to blame for both times was almost too much to bear.

He should never have let him go.

He should never have left him behind.

Alone again. Abandoned again.

Alone in space with an alternate version of the woman he once loved, a well meaning but oblivious android and an extremely selfish cat.

Non of them were linked to his past, non of them knew about his earth and it's history.

His entire life was just a series of endless abandonment. One endless circle of having to let go of the ones he loved.

He had to abandon himself as a baby, lost his adoptive parents, his grandmother.

Then he'd lost earth, his friends, all he knew. Then he lost the entire human race, his girlfriend, all his friends on the ship, had to leave his children …

He'd lost so much, but somehow he'd never felt truly alone.

Until today.

Sitting on the cold, steel ground, cradling Rimmer's cold, charred body, Dave Lister, for the first time, felt true loneliness.
