ASTERISE

i wish i stayed. independent private shion. under construction

[animusii-deactivated20150502]

     looking at Shion’s expression, maybe had been a tad harsh and it was over a play that content’s didn’t exist but when it came to Shion’s love for No.6 it sickened him to the very bone of his flesh. To love such a place that disposes it’s inconveniences and thrives off the misery of others, it was absolutely disgusting. Just as he was turning back to the comforts of his bed, Shion’s voice broke the silence between them. It caught Nezumi’s attention, his back turning his grey eyes looking down at the body below him. As if the height difference between the two was a symbol of greater knowledge, a time where Nezumi could look down on Shion, for the knowledge Shion craved for was out of his reach. 

                    If you say your not ignorant, then enlightenment me. ❜

                                   ( Tell me Shion. )

    He listens carefully to Shion’s words and as he continues his eyes naturally been to widened with shock. His mind had always forgotten this was how Shion was, terrible at understanding woman but an incredibly powerful talker with no idea of it himself. Completely oblivious to the embarrassment most people would feel from saying such a thing, but for Shion he thought nothing of it. With that in mind he couldn’t help but let out another laugh.

                                 haha you really have no insight. hahaha— ❜

    The thought of Shion knowing more than he did already was almost frightening to Nezumi. It had stopped his laughing spree, and it got him thinking. Him and Shion were different, therefore there was no need for him to know about his past or anything to do with them. It was better for them to stay strangers. 

                                                                               && YET.

                                  Shion you have no idea what your saying. ❜

                                        I can’t seem to take my eyes off you.

        "..." he isn't sure how to perceive nezumi's response, yet again. a laugh was the last thing shion would expect-- but then again, nezumi altogether was someone unpredictable -- a reason towards shion's never-ending interest in him. words are spoken with much heart, and he'd hoped that he'd be heard with at least some understanding in the end. but this outcome is somewhat disappointing, causing shion to continue to frown even more so, his gaze snapping to nezumi's face once again, those mysterious grey eyes are always staring back, as if to beckon shion's curiosity even more so.         "don't laugh at me, nezumi." instead of the prior persistence in his tone, now, shion answers as if defeated. he feels as if he can't ever win -- as if every conversation is some sort of competition. always having to prove himself -- and for what...                                    to impress him? to make nezumi... proud? a moment passes before shion opts to leaning against the bedside, legs folding to rest beneath his chin. there's always so much shion can say, and yet every time he does so, nezumi will somehow find a way to silence him once again. there's no denying that he feels a little hurt, and sudden actions of curling himself into a ball proves that. harsh words are spoken to either shoot him down, or to educate him and encourage him to press forward. he hopes.     "--it's true, nezumi. one day, i'll be able to see the world how you see it. i'll be able to understand so much more...                             i will prove to you." once shion's mind is set upon something, there is no stopping him.

all i see is black and white. there is no colour at all.

    The reaction he received, was expected of Shion, when it came to Shakespeare tragedy Shion was as illiterate as most of the citizens in the west block. Completely uneducated in the context of the classic’s, due to that vile infected city. Banning the classic’s on the importance of corrupting power and obscured ambitions.. ( HA ! HA ! HA ! ) It’s no wonder, they couldn’t even have the audacity to practice what they preach. 

    When the city itself was the definition of CORRUPTION.

     Well when she saw the opportunity to seize the throne she changed, seems No.6 took a line from Lady Macbeth, and who knows hopefully that city will end just as she did. ❜

    Wouldn’t it be a gift if it did, at least that way he wouldn’t have to lift a finger, and that city would self destruct, from the infections that had corrupted the roots of the city. He could watch it, like he would a play—only this play would be a comedy. 

    Watching Shion give up so easily only irritated him further, was he so quick as to give up when he didn’t approve of a character’s motive? Was he so blind to see the corruption of the city he loved so dearly that he would just stand and do nothing? Of course. He was a citizen after all.

     do you give up like that on every book that doesn’t fit your precious guidelines, and when it doesn’t you refuse to move ? Then It’s no wonder your eyes still remain clouded from ignorance. ❜

though shion is always known to spout out anything, sounding like absent thought is given, when it comes to the mention of no. 6 ( along with nezumi's harsh opinions ), he's always at a loss of how to respond. the corruption was so very easily hidden from his sight for so long, shion thought. but when hearing nezumi's opinion first, only then did his eyes begin to widen, as the cold realisation of the truth hit him with full force. no. 6 was indeed a very corrupt city. with iffy morals, and a scene of perfection that's so clearly fake. though when no. 6 comes to shion's mind, he can only think of his mother and safu -- the people he cares for the most.               not everyone in no. 6 wants to conform to its twisted reality, right? he blinks, a tad bit stunned from nezumi's sudden back lash. shion would have argued against him, if he were to have any. but shion knows deep down that nezumi is right. and that only irritates shion even further, internally so.       "i'm not giving up." it's true that shion has grown somewhat irritated over his lack of understanding. he's so used to be praised for his immense amount of knowledge when it comes to ecology. but literature is something else entirely.     "i'm -- i'm not ignorant." his attempt to argue is somewhat shameful. perhaps nezumi is right, once again. perhaps he is ignorant. he knows next to nothing about a lot of things, and it's not the actual book that angers him, but this sad truth instead. he wants nezumi to understand, and to help him grow. "i just.. i want to know more. i'm tired of not being able to understand, nezumi. i want to learn about macbeth, about hamlet, and about shakespeare altogether. i want to be able to understand how everything seems from.. your point of view, nezumi." perhaps his words sound a little selfish, but that is what shion is. he's selfish, and he isn't afraid to say otherwise. he couldn't help but cast a downhearted glance at nezumi before looking to the floor, fingers fidgeting, tracing small circles along the now dusty floor.

                 just a moment your majesty. ❜

    he laid on the bed of own books that he had so carefully collected, his voice hinting at the sarcasm that had rolled off his lips so casually. He had his own thoughts and mind at work with a play by Oscar Wilde called The Importance of Being Earnest — and he wanted to see Shion stress his patience with him.

    playing the book down with the cover facing the vile dirt ceiling to keep his page he got up from his bed and let out a sigh. Since when had his bedroom become an open book library. Stepping around the books he let his knee’s bend so his head could look at to where Shion’s finger was pointing too.

   ah lady Macbeth’s soliloquy where she confesses to the audience she wants nothing more than too see King Duncan dead, allowing herself to lose all femininity within her to commit such a masculine crime as murder. Oh Oh Oh ! ❜

     He let out a laugh, it was no wonder Shion was having such a difficult time understanding those lines, seeing as woman were like a different species all together to that boy.

             "what's so funny?" jokes -- and sarcasm especially usually flies over shion's head. despite being obviously well educated, when it comes to the social aspect of things, shion isn't the most knowledgeable. his clear naïvety is somewhat to blame, among other reasons. he turns his head with an obvious frown, staring at those pair of grey eyes which reflect an unknown abyss. such willpower is only overcome when it comes to nezumi's eyes in particular. though this time, shion has a little more self-control, than to let thoughts wander from the important topic at hand.       "i really don't get it. why does she want to kill him so badly? i don't get where this sudden passion came from. it's kind of...                               scary." but of course, it's that scary aspect that had grasped shion's attention to macbeth in the first place. among a small few others that he'd managed to read, macbeth is undoubtedly the toughest one yet. such literature isn't studied in no. 6, for reasons that he'd once agreed to. but now, a lot of things had certainly changed. he lets out a sigh of his own before closing the book, index finger still resting upon the page to keep his spot.      "i'm too frustrated to read any more now."

[asterise]

       "--nezumi!" curious and eagerly does shion call out to the other. he's sat upon the floor, surrounded by piles and piles of books. never did this room's cleanliness last for very long, especially when shion enters his curious stage, to which there is no escape until each and every question formed is answered. unlike nezumi who thinks very differently in the topic -- shion's always absolute with what he wants to know. this time shion's reading one of shakespeare's plays; macbeth to be specific. a curious gaze is given whilst the white-haired boy hums before looking up to the other, expression full of curiosity and wonderment.                        "i don't get this here--                          what does it mean?"
