“ but your day will come. ”
prompted. & always accepting! / @aodoom
THE YOUNG BOY LOOKS UP, a type iia diamond shining from his eyesocks ; the most famous titled ‘ the hope ’. some people say you can visit it in museums, but you can also just look at the boy’s yes, blue & glazed, SHINING WITH A THING THE SUN COULD NEVER CONTAIN. he remembers dreaming of watered grass, how it smelled of earth & he laid there, looking up into the blue sky without a cloud in it. he hasn’t smelled it since the day of his father’s apprehension & he doesn’t know if he’ll EVER get to experience it again. but they’re standing on the rooftops, for almost no particular reason but to avoid a traffic jam & the sky was blue today. a few clouds, but that was it. he hadn’t even said anything, but nic could either a) read his mind or b) everyone here just dreamt of the same thing ———- escaping from this HELLHOLE, that is.
THOUGH IT COMES WITH A STING OF GUILT, because there’s hope for him whereas nic would never see the outside world, not with his rank. the blonde was also raising an eyebrow at the optimism that the twilight almost never expressed, since it was just quite rare for him. he feels it would be like letting a lion that has grown up in CAPTIVE out into the wild with no knowledge of the real world, so maybe the thought of escaping from all this had never crossed his mind. he would never DARE to ask such a thing either ; he had only told his sister & loretta about his wishes to go back to the outside world, considers it a private matter. they were all sleeping on death’s doorstep anyway, curled up like a kitten that had been cast out by its owners & after a while even the hard mattress in the brothel was just another ORDINARY THING in their routine.
BUT FOR NOW he turned to the elder, something close to a SMILE ghosting on his lips as he shoved his hands in his pockets & let his eyes wander across the spotless sky one more time. then his gaze rested back on the twilight, who now appeared to have raised an eyebrow at the unusually long pause they had made here on this particular rooftop. kise just chuckled & walked over to him, now actually wearing a grin as he looked on, waiting for nic to jump & follow suit before he decided to say something. ❛ I REALLY HOPE SO. but for now, let’s deliver these packages! ❜ adverting the attention from his first sentence, he gave the celeber nic was carrying a strong pat before jumping, feeling air run its’ fingers through his hair & for one, fleeting moment, HE FELT LIKE HE WAS TRULY FREE AGAIN.
