The next morning, Khan woke up slowly, lifting his head and looking down at the golden haired beauty that slept next to him against his chest. He smiled softly and brushed a lock of hair from her face, kissing her cheek softly and rubbing her bare side. He watched her sleep, studying and memorizing her features and every curve.

But alas, he couldn't stay.

See, Khan wasn't exactly the type of man you would call "good". No one was really good, but not the point. He didn't like it, honestly, because he had to do these things to keep his Crew safe. To keep the love of his life safe. Even if it meant never having to see her again for as long as they both lived, regardless of his pain to do so. He sighed softly to himself and tightened his grip on her, wanting to spend what little time he could with her.

He kissed her shoulder softly and laid his head back down, pressing his face into her hair, inhaling her scent. I mean, it's not like he could take her with him, right? ...could he..? ..no, that would put her in harms way and he'd never do that. Of course he couldn't really leave when she was awake. Those sad blue eyes would make his heart ache and feel full of guilt and regret. He couldn't leave when she was asleep either because that would be an asshole thing to do. Khan may be many things to people, asshole personality included, but he would never be them to her.

But never say never, it could happen.

Khan sighed softly to himself and very slowly slipped out of the bed, arranging the pillows some to be against her. He slicked his hair back and pulled his clothes on, walking out of the room quietly. He made the coffee pot for her and made breakfast for her, putting it in the microwave so it didn't get cold. Finally, he sat in a chair by the door and started to pull his boots on. He tensed some at hearing her soft voice say his name before hearing her feet pad lightly on the wooden floor, seeing her in his peripheral vision. He didn't look at her, just kept lacing up his boots.

Levenil felt her bottom lip start to quiver at watching him, pulling the covers around herself more.

"You're leaving me..?" She asked, a bit dumbly but she couldn't word the truth any other way. Khan still paid her no mind, not looking at her or speaking. 

"Khan please say something .." She said, practically begging, as he got up and headed to the door.

Khan had hoped she would stay asleep so he wouldn't have to do this, but he had to. With a deep breath, his emotions and feelings were turned off, or at least dulled.

Levenil swallowed thickly when he looked at her with hard cold eyes, she even took a small step back.

"Yes, I am leaving you. No, I am not coming back. No, you will never see me again." He said, it coming out harsher than intended but it would just have more of an effect.

"Why?" She asked, "you said-"

"What? I said what? That I loved  you?" He sneared, "I never loved you. I never will." If his guard was down, then he would most certainly be crying because of the look on her face. You could visibly see the heart break in her face, eyes, and body. In turn it broke his heart.

Yet he kept going, even though he wanted it to stop.

"I used you for my pleasure and my pleasure only." He said, walking to her slowly, her backing away.

"Please stop." She said, him having backed her up against the wall.

"You wanted to know why. So I am telling you." Khan answered, grabbing her hand when she went to slap him. She whimpered when it was a harsh and hard grip. "You are pathetic, weak. How did you even survive your planet being destroyed?"

Levenil felt her body go numb and she felt her legs give out from under her.

You see, Vulcans feel emotions ten times more than humans. So Levenil's reaction is on point for Vulcans. Those who chose to feel at least. Also, she loved Khan with everything and he basically just killed her. That's what it felt like.

Khan's hand wrapped around her throat, keeping her up.

"Maybe I should put you out of your misery." He said, his hand squeezing her throat and wheezed.  Levenil tried calling for Bree,  but she couldn't call out anything right now. They were like that for a while before he let go, her dropping to the floor.

Khan turned away, finally letting the tears fall as he heard her start to sob. He quickly left before he went back to her.
