In the dark and deep something wicked lies in sleep. A monster wearing a man’s skin; a ghost of what was, a shadow of what could've been. (Independent fandomless oc. Private/Selective. Single-ship.)

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA / SENTENCE STARTERS

from the musical score of phantom of the opera. PART 3.

❝  his eyes will find us there…  ❞

❝  ____, don’t say that - don’t even think it.  ❞

❝  why have you brought me here? ❞

❝  he’ll kill you - if he has to kill a thousand men.  ❞

❝  my god, who is this man?  ❞

❝  i can’t escape from him, i never will.   ❞

❝  i’ve been there…  ❞

❝  i’ve seen him.  ❞

❝  how can i ever forget that sight?  ❞

❝  in the night there was music in my mind.  ❞

❝  my soul began to soar.  ❞

❝  it was a dream and nothing more.  ❞

❝  in his eyes, all the sadness of the world.  ❞

❝  no more talk of darkness.  ❞

❝  i’m here, nothing can harm you.  ❞

❝  say you’ll love me every waking moment.  ❞

❝  say you need me with you now and always.  ❞

❝  promise me that all you say is true.  ❞

❝  that’s all i ask of you.  ❞

❝  you’re safe, no one will find you.  ❞

❝  all i want is freedom.  ❞

❝  say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime.  ❞

❝  anywhere you go, let me go too…  ❞

❝  say the word and i will follow you.  ❞

❝  say you love me.  ❞

❝  you know i do.  ❞

❝  i must go, they’ll wonder where i am!  ❞

❝  and soon you’ll be beside me.  ❞

❝  i gave you my music, made your song take wing.  ❞

❝  how you’ve repaid me, denied me and betrayed me.  ❞

❝  he was bound to love you.  ❞

❝  you will curse the day you did not do all that i asked of you.  ❞

He’s just going to smile innocently, pleased he’s not the only one to think of Cain that way.

There could always be one less person who thinks that way... It would only take one very well placed stab...

😇 🎈 📕 📗 📘 💀 🔮 🤡 🌱 💕 💿 🌋

"My, my~ Someone's certainly curious~ I'll have to expose it all under the cut."

😇Do you think you’ll ever experience an afterlife?

"I rather wonder if an afterlife even exists... Is it not more accurate to say that we make our own heavens and hells?"

🎈Do you remember the start of your life? How long ago was it?

"I do... It was a very cold and dark start, as I was born in the depths of a particularly cold winter. How long ago? Well... How long indeed... What century is this again?"

📕Do you ever run out of things to be curious about?

"Never ever. In all my years, I can confidently say I've learned far too little. Humanity is fascinating, as is the world we live in. The grand scale of human history is ever dwarfed by the findings of science... How could one ever grow bored in such an environment?"

📗What is one of the most valuable things you’ve learned?

"When it is time to move on."

📘In the remainder of your life, what else do you hope to learn?

"I hope to never stop learning. Life would be incredibly boring if one didn't learn new things, don't you think?"

💀What is your opinion on death and mortality in general?

"I fondly embrace death every night~ That aside, everything lives in a cycle. I am aware of how my own existence stands out as an anomaly from that cycle."

🔮Have you ever considered (or looked for) ways to end your immortality?

"Never. If someone comes along to end it for me, I will make them work for that honor."

🤡How do you deal with avoiding suspicion while living forever?

"Ahh, it is difficult if you try and integrate into normal society. However, there are plenty who live on the fringes and in the shadows, and those people do not run their mouths. These are the places I can exist peacefully, slipping in and out of cities and circles whenever I please."

🌱What is one thing about the world you’ve come to appreciate?

"The ease of travel is certainly far better than before."

💕Do you think two immortals could handle one another’s company forever?

"Of course I do. Having even one constant is a rather comforting thought, is it not?"

💿What is one (or more) inventions you’re thankful exist in your current time?

"The tools of my trade have only gotten better and for that I am most grateful. It makes my job easier."

🌋Do you think you will be alive to see the end of the world?

"Now there's an entertaining thought... Perhaps I will make it a goal. I didn't see the very beginning, but perhaps I can make it all the way to the end."

[nothingmoreforevermore]

((If y’all are wondering where I disappear to, I have a new personal blog I finally got up and running, and you can find it here if you want to see what I get up to!))

[nothingmoreforevermore]

🙄How do you handle boredom and monotony?

"With a good hunt, of course~ In a career like mine, if I am bored, it is my own fault for not finding an entertaining target."

[nothingmoreforevermore]

🥀Do you create bonds with mortals or avoid getting attached?

"No matter if I avoid them or seek them out, it seems I am doomed to tangle with mortals. So I no longer avoid them as I once did, especially now that anyone who knew me from before is long dead and gone."

As expected… Souji couldn’t resist, and Cain broke out into a wide grin as Souji pulled out his phone, calling someone up. A man spoke on the other end, but even Cain’s good hearing couldn’t quite pick up the other side of the conversation. Fortunately, he was not kept guessing for long, as when Souji hung up, he invited Cain to join him in one of the nearby high rises. 

“Oho? Textiles? One of the most profitable industries in the world…” How intriguing… Hopefully his darling son was being treated well, spoiled like he deserved! Cain kept the thoughts to himself as he followed along, eager to meet this husband of Souji’s, see what he was really like. 

“Ah, is it?? I guess… It’s like a family business…group??”  He smiled and took the other’s hand, smiling at the doorman as he went to the elevator and clicked on the top button.  “Asami-niisan runs the main bank… and Akira-niichan runs electronics… “   A keiretsu… old money.

The elevator took a while to go all the way up, and he could hear the soft oinks and boisterous barking.  “Ah!!! Yuki and Saizou may bowl us over,” he giggled. Which was just what happened, the pig and dog coming to greet Souji.

“Saizou, Yuki that’s enough let him in…” Ayato called out, wiping off his hands.  “Souji welcome ho— I’m guessing this is your… other father??”  He straightened up, holding out a hand.  “Ishikawa Ayato, it’s a pleasure to meet you….”

[nothingmoreforevermore]

A family group, each heir owning different companies... Prominent industries and finance as well... What a clever system, and Souji had married right in. Cain listened with great interest as he walked hand in hand with his son, glancing at the doorman as they made their way inside. The ride up to the apartment was long, showing just how far up they were going, and upon stepping out of the elevator, there was such a cacophony at the front door... Ah. Pets.

Cain stepped back as the door opened, but there was really no need, as the pig and dog really only swarmed excitedly around Souji until another voice deterred them. He followed the sound to meet the gaze of a young, serious looking man, who greeted him with a handshake. 

“Cain Wintersong. And yes, I am one of Souji’s adoptive fathers.” He took the hand, giving a firm shake in return as a thin smile crossed his face. “I heard you and my son are married, correct?”

[akumanoken]

nothingmoreforevermore​:

That grip to his shoulders makes Cain’s expression become more determined. So his husband had already gotten the talk about this man? If he passed one judgement, then Cain already was feeling more comfortable. He grinned down at his son, pressing a hand over his heart to show sincerity. “I promise to be on my best behavior around him. I wouldn’t want to make you upset if you like this man so much.”

Souji gave him a look… two looks… and then giggled, pulling out his phone.  “Aya?? Hi hi!! No I’m not in any trouble,” he smiled shaking his head.  “I actually have someone coming to the apartment… Remember when I said I had another papa?? No not that one… no that one’s… yes!! It’s fine you dont’ have to make coff–”  He sighed and smiled.  “We’ll be up soon…”

He looked over at Cain and giggled.  “He’s making coffee… come on, the building isn’t too far…”  He said pointing to one of the taller high-rises.  “I think you’d like him, he runs a textile company and he’s really responsible!!”

Someone's been missed~ {replicawriter}

@replicawriter

As much as he's missed his darling reaper~?

[replicawriter]

Undoubtedly, and with the strength of an eternity. There are no words to say, but the slide of cloth against the ground and echoing footsteps as the reaper steps forward from his lurking place seem to speak volumes more accurately than anything he could have voiced. Slender arms open wide to engulf the man in an embrace, his long cloak swirling around them, offering a semi-private bubble as they reacquaint themselves to the way they seem to fit together like an old coat; familiar and foreign all at once.

[nothingmoreforevermore]

No words need to be spoken between such old companions such as themselves, and Cain fits into the arms of his reaper just as he is supposed to. They belong together, after all, and it has been far too long since they lived that reality. His grip on the reaper is strong, a tight squeeze around that thin body, a silent I’ll never let you go as he presses his face into the other’s neck, breathing in all the scents that make up his Undertaker. 

[akumanoken]

nothingmoreforevermore​:

Cain isn’t sure why he asked; Souji always was a bit of a troublemaker! But oh~? What’s this? “Husband? It seems I have missed a lot… You should introduce us sometime.” He needs to know all the details he’s not caught up on!

“I should!!”  He giggled before, before clasped the other’s shoulders.  “Now I’m gonna tell you like I told Papa Unny to be nice!! He’s a respectable gentleman and he’s really kind and I’m really attached to him, okay???”  Yes, that’s how you describe your soulmate.  really attached.

[nothingmoreforevermore]

That grip to his shoulders makes Cain’s expression become more determined. So his husband had already gotten the talk about this man?

[akumanoken]

nothingmoreforevermore​:

And of course Cain will hug his darling son tightly in return, maybe even spin him around. “I’ve missed you too, Souji. Have you been good while I was away?”

“Nope!!” he giggled.  “Kidding, well for the most part.  I’ve been not as problematic if that’s what you mean…”  He nodded.  “I have to… I’m all respectable now… can't make trouble for the husband~”

[nothingmoreforevermore]
