@greenvixen: 18. My muse clutches their hand tightly around your muse’s mouth to silence them.
He’d gone off on another ramble, ranting and explaining something or other to the fullest extent, as he usually did, to a seemingly uninterested C.C. So wrapped up in what he was trying to get across, he hadn’t noticed her get up and move over to him--
Until her hand pressed firmly against his mouth.
Incredulous and maybe a little offended, he stared at her while she pressed a finger to her lips. Did she have a headache? Could immortals get headaches? Was he being too loud? He didn’t think so.
A rainy day in Konoha, soft sounds and earthy scents filled the air. It was a far different sensation than that of the metallic industry of Ame. Eyes closed, a gentle smile on his face, Kyohi was settled beneath a tree with a snow white rabbit huddled up on his lap, over his crossed legs, making something of a nest for the animal.
One of his summons.
He ran a finger gently over its ears, comforting. It was the youngest of the rabbits he could summon.
“I wonder if it’s weird to say…the rain sounds different here, than it does in Ame…” he mused quietly as the small rabbit looked up at him with its ruby red eyes…almost like a reflection of himself.
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the gods let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're ok
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go on
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I love you
Till the end of time
All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
All of my memories...
While Souta is afraid of falling in love or being loved, he did have a partner which he could put under the ‘romantic’ label. One he hadn’t yet told his family about, one he was going to. He’d left on a mission one day and just...never returned. Souta took that to mean that he was killed in action and he locked himself in his room for as long as he was able to--he and Suen shared a room, he couldn’t really keep his brother out for too long.
Even then, he didn’t tell any of them about his partner, didn’t tell them he’d been in love, or that he’d been snatched away from him. And now, especially after Sasuke told him about the curse of hatred, he wanted so badly to keep those emotions to himself, to never get so attached to someone like that again, for fear the pain would be too great...That he could descend as far into madness as his father had.
“You aren’t even HUMAN, anymore!” (from catscourged (lol))
Send “You aren’t even HUMAN, anymore!” for my muse’s reaction
“Look who’s talking.” Funny, it was like the pot calling the kettle black, especially with the pure malice in the cat’s tone. “You call me a monster...”
