{ Wakatoshi Ushijima & Kaname Moniwa }

[ezzydean]

Trick or Treat with Ushijima and Moniwa, please?

TRICK-OR-TREAT

come trick-or-treat in my inbox requesting ficcies and I’ll either treat you to some fluff or humor or trick you with a horribly twisted sad AU  (I’ll use a random generator to pick trick or treat)

TRICK

(here have a thing)

It will come to you.  

He was told.  When he was small and fragile and innocent.

It will come when the world is peaceful and the wind blows gentle.  

He has never known peace.  Not since those words were uttered to him.  Not since he understood that chaos reigns eternal and that if you go looking for trouble you’ll find it without issue.

It will come to you when you’ve forgotten your basics, when you’ve forgotten where you’re from.  

He’s practiced every day, every single say.  He goes over everything from the ground up.  You’re nothing if you don’t acknowledge your foundations.  If you gloss over your roots and leave them buried in some corner lot of your childhood.

It will come to you when the world tears you down, when you are weary and worn and feel the weight of your decisions pressing you under, bowing your head, twisting you into knots with every choice that presents itself to you.

He keeps busy, sleeps well, eats well.  He listens to others.  He cares for those closest to him and still keeps those further from him in his mind.  He makes meticulous choices and weighs his options carefully.  

It will come.  And when it does.  You will welcome it with open arms and a heart that beats fiercely.  You will give yourself freely.

It will come to you.  Because you have called it.  Because you want it.  And nothing is more powerful than want.

Wakatoshi bows his head and takes all the words he’s been told, all the tales he’s been part of, and grounds himself.  When the time comes he promises himself.  He promises himself so many things.

Turns out the only thing as powerful as want is the power of a promise broken.

Kaname waits.  They’re patient.  Not quite immortal but the closest thing you can get to it without taking that last step, that last dive into the abyss that will never let you return.  They had been warned, long long ago when they were a wee thing that couldn’t do more than roll around in the grass and mud, not to take that last step.

You will be tempted.

They have heard the promise - because a promise is what it was - for longer than they can remember.  For lifetimes and ages and eons.  So they wait.

You will be tempted and it will be unlike anything you’ve known in your long years.

They’ve been waiting.  They’ve practiced what they’ve been taught.  There is nothing they can do to rush fate.

You will be tempted when you least expect it, when you’ve been dragged to the edge and everything you fear is laid out before you.

It was something strange, knowing that they were trying to prevent the inevitable.  That no matter how hard they tried they weren’t going to be able to stop anything or save anyone.  That nothing they had learned over the years could change the outcome.

You will be tempted and for the first time in your long, long life you will not be able to resist.  You will not want to resist.  It is not a weakness.

You will be tempted because you have finally found what you have been looking for.  And it has found you.  It will call out to you and you will give in.

Kaname has stood strong against everything that has come their way.  They have never given in.  Despite every single thing that has been thrown at them.

But when the time comes they fold.  They drop to their knees and wrap shaking arms around a bowed head and make a promise.  

A promise to never give in to every temptation that this single soul offers them.  A promise to never give in to any want that Wakatoshi has.  A promise to never fulfill even the slightest urge.

There’s nothing quite as powerful as a broken promise after all.
