Never
~Continued from here @prxsperitatis~
“I’ll never answer those.”
Takumi shook uncontrollably, knees pulled up tight to his chest and held there by his arms wrapped snugly around them. He didn’t want Rei to see him like this, to see how afraid he was that he wasn’t this type of god either. Takumi didn’t even hear Maemi call for him or come closer until she was right there, hand on his shoulder, and he felt small and tiny in his ball in the corner.
“I’m-”
He couldn’t tell her. Maemi knew him as the god of dance, and he didn’t want her to know him any other way. But he couldn’t exactly lie and say he was fine, that would be total bullshit. So before Takumi could break anymore, he let the choking half-truth spill.
“What if I disappear? I don’t answer as many prayers as I used to. I don’t get as many. What’ll happen to me next time I reincarnate? It’s going to happen.“
