EnsTren: *gives Seto a full body wax*
Edmondia: heh
EnsTren: *dips him in liquid latex*
Edmondia: hee
EnsTren: *gives him another layer in a diffrent color*
EnsTren: *makes Seto have many layers of latex*
Edmondia: heh
EnsTren: who gets to peel it off?
Edmondia: AE!Seto
Edmondia: ^_^
EnsTren: yay!
Edmondia: Yay!
EnsTren: *puts him next to AE!Seto*
EnsTren: Seto: *angry cause he can't move his fingers*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *looking like it's his birthday*
EnsTren: Seto: *fingers blunted so he can't even peel it off* *turning around as if looking for a seam* *arse cleavage*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *big grin* *grope*
EnsTren: Seto: *eeps and jumps and glares*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles innocently*
EnsTren: Seto: *more glare*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *inches closer, still smiling like an angel*
EnsTren: Seto: *suspicious* You're not going to take up residence in a piece of gold and possess me, are you?
EnsTren: Seto: Or violently change my hairstyle when you control the body?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *ruffles his own hair* It's just a bit redder than yours, really.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *does a little catwalk-move* See? No spikes.
EnsTren: Seto: Gold object and possess me?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *innocent look*
EnsTren: Seto: Well?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *hums, stares off into the distance, fiddles with his robes*
EnsTren: Seto: I'll settle for you not being like Bakura or Malik's other.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *grins* I'm not like them. I'm sane. I'm like Atemu, only taller.
EnsTren: Seto: *considers. Very much like him, not too many bad side effects...* You won't be using me or my little brother as toys or bargining chips?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *plops down on Seto's desk and stares into his eyes* Toys...? *raises a suggestive eyebrow and smirks* My dear Seto, whatever do you mean?
EnsTren: Seto: Bakura put his Hikari's soul into a card. I've had my soul removed and other wise meddled with more than I care to think about already.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *shrugs* Pissed off Atemu, did you? Oh - was it the fruity man? At any rate, no, all I want is the opportunity to hit on you mercilessly and possibly get into your pants. No soul-sucking involved, although I could suck on other parts of you...
EnsTren: Seto: I will get a chance to top, right?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: ...maybe.
EnsTren: Seto: Define 'maybe.'
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *leers* If you can win, you can top.
EnsTren: Seto: I've only lost to cheaters and the Pharaoh.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Pharaoh's my cousin. And we're a physical match. *beams* Wanna fight?
EnsTren: Seto: I ment in duel monsters, I have no doubt I could kick the pharaoh's ass if I tried to.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *snort* Just because he's short and skinny doesn't mean he can't kick your ass. Believe me, I know.
EnsTren: Seto: I'm physically stronger and have a higher pain tolerance.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *raises an eyebrow* Hard to do much of anything when he breaks all of your limbs, dear Seto.
EnsTren: Seto: I shall keep the warning in mind, but I also keep in mind he always reverted to magic to stop the bullies.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: What, and get in a fight and bruise Yugi's body?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: I'm sorry, but you just don't do that to your omote!
EnsTren: Seto: Then obviously he isn't as good a fighter as me.
EnsTren: (he jumped our a window, though the glass and had not a scratch on him, after avoiding bullets)
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Tell me, dear one, why it should matter when he can just kill you without coming within twenty feet of you?
EnsTren: Seto: Because I have to best him in one way, and if it's a way that has nothing to do with magic all the better.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *props his chin in his hands and gives Seto an odd look* Dare I ask why you're so obsessed with beating up my little cousin?
EnsTren: Seto: because I've fought almost all my life, for all my skill, I deserve..I deserve...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *tilts his head curiously* Deserve...?
EnsTren: Seto: I deserve respect, to be best at something and have it acknowledge.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: ...Seto... *sighs* You have that already.
EnsTren: Seto: *gives him a look*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *runs his fingers through his bangs with a slight smile* You're brilliant and you're lovely and everyone on this silly island knows it.
EnsTren: Seto: That does not mean I get respect for it.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sighs* Who disrespects you?
EnsTren: Seto: People who are supposed to be my peers *doesn't indicate that he's talking about his age group or other company heads*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *blinks slowly* Then they are fools. Why care?
EnsTren: Seto: I am not seen unless I try to make myself seen. I'm invisible, so presumed unnecessary.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Do you want to be seen?
EnsTren: Seto: *gives into teen tendancies and delivers him a "Hel-lo!? Look how I Dre-ess" look*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sweatdrops* Um, right. *pats him on the head* Have you not noticed the looks you get, love?
EnsTren: Seto: *not noticing the patting* Have you ever noticed the lack of looks I get?
EnsTren: Seto: When I'm dressed down in uniform?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *snort* Take it you didn't notice that Otogi's not the only one with drooling fangirls?
EnsTren: Seto: Mine don't recognize me without the coat.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *rolls his eyes* You came home with three sticky notes proclaiming eternal devotion stuck to your school jacket yesterday.
EnsTren: Seto: And for how long have I been attending the school and going home in a limo?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sweatdrops* How should I know? I've only been here a week.
EnsTren: Seto: Years.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Um, question. What has that to do with your squealing fangirls?
EnsTren: Seto: They only know me because of constant exposure.
EnsTren: Seto: If I did not go home in a limo they wouldn't realize I was me.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *blinks* Uh, Seto, darling, your logic bewilders me. Because I am bewildered and you are obviously having fangirl issues, I would like to kiss you.
EnsTren: Seto: *sighs* All right *hand up* once, on the cheek.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles sweetly* Thank you, darling! *kisses him softly on the cheek*
EnsTren: Seto: Darling? Never mind. It's not that I'm not thankful for it, sometimes. I've gotten away with some... *shifts* illegal things. All I had to do was dress down.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smirks* I've pulled the same in my time. Made for some wild nights... but Seto, you do stand out, even though you don't seem to think so.
EnsTren: Seto: *sighs and shakes his head*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sighs and shakes his head* We're never going to agree on this, are we?
EnsTren: Seto: *plays around with the latexed hands*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *grabs the latexed hands* Tell me what you want.
EnsTren: Seto: I want to be acknowledged for what I did and what I do. I want Mokuba to have faith in me, real faith, not the kind he has that seems to crumble when you push it sideways.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *gives him a subdued look* When did that happen? He loves you...
EnsTren: Seto: Noa.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: That wasn't him, darling.
EnsTren: Seto: *folds his arms low, his hand in his elbow, cupping the other elbow, hugging yourself doesn't help you but it's hard to resist*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *slips his hands under his arms and pulls him forward, tucking Seto's head under his chin* That wasn't him, darling...
EnsTren: Seto: It was him when he walked away from me because of the memories Noa replayed.
EnsTren: Seto: *rests his head on him, voice slightly muffled by his other's chest, his voice sounds diffrent, distortion because he was talking against someone's chest, that's* How many times do I have to prove myself?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *strokes his hair and hugs him a little more tightly* To whom, little light? To everyone else... or to you?
EnsTren: Seto: Don't know.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *squeezes him* Until you can be happy with yourself...?
EnsTren: Seto: *shakes his head* Mokuba is what matters.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *nuzzles his nose against his ear* Mokuba loves you.
EnsTren: Seto: He doesn't believe in me though. He'll leave me, I know.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *shakes his head* He won't leave you. He loves you too much to leave you alone.
EnsTren: Seto: He's going to grow up and leave me.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: ...do you want to stop him?
EnsTren: Seto: *shakes his head*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: So what do you want, pretty light?
EnsTren: Seto: 'm not pretty.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *kisses him on the cheek again* Pretty.
EnsTren: Seto: *head shake, how funny his voice sounds with the sound bouncing and ricocheting on the clear curves of his Yami's collar bone, watery. Funny, his throat seizing up.*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *presses his lips to his omote's ear* Pretty sad little light...
EnsTren: Seto: P'rmise me...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Anything...
EnsTren: Seto: Take care of Mokuba, make sure he's happy, that he... that he grows up.
EnsTren: Seto: I... I don't want to be a failure.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *eyes narrow sharply* And why would you be a failure, little light?
EnsTren: Seto: You think he won't leave me. If he doesn't it means I didn't bring him up right, it means...it means I failed.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sighs heavily, relaxing again* If you ask him to stay, he will. If he thinks you need him, he will stay. It is his choice, Seto, and you cannot blame yourself for his choices.
EnsTren: Seto: *head shakes* Has to go on his own, can't lean on me, and I can't lean on him. Not always.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Not always, but not never, either. You know that.
EnsTren: Seto: *closes his eyes and leans against him* 'm afraid of growing up, you know.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *rests his head against Seto's again* Why is that, little light?
EnsTren: Seto: Means Mokuba is growing up too. And... And I barter in games, what if... what if I grow up too much and can't play any more, can't make things anymore?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles softly* Do you love playing?
EnsTren: Seto: *nods against him, loosening up his arms*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sighs softly* Then you won't lose it, little light. You can play forever...
EnsTren: Seto: Promise? People always try to stop me from playing...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles softly* Your friends all play with you, little light, remember? You need to stay close to them - they will understand you if you let them.
EnsTren: Seto: They aren't my friends.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *very quietly* They would be if you let them in, little light...
EnsTren: Seto: *shakes his head stubbornly, no, no and no, everyone always goes after Mokuba because he is close to his heart*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Little light... they don't need you to protect them, pretty one, can't you see? They don't need you for anything more than understanding - you want that, don't you?
EnsTren: Seto: They can never understand. Not even Mokuba understands.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Then why don't you talk to them? The others - the other pretty ones will listen to you, even if they don't understand...
EnsTren: Seto: *shakes* No, no! I'm not, won't... My hell is mine, I won't burden anyone else with it.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *strokes down his spine, sighing* Ah, but little light, whatever did you do to deserve hell? It's not unreasonable to share pain... pain is what binds you to others, pain and love, and who can have love without pain and pain without love?
EnsTren: Seto: It's what I earned with my pain. *he murmured and leaned even more against him, relaxing in his arms... it wasn't... it wasn't so bad to have an other to care, to hold him.*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *sighs softly, nuzzling his cheek with his nose* Ah, and how am I to unburden you, little light? If you won't let them save you, will you let me?
EnsTren: Seto: I should be able to save myself, *he protests a little but doesn't pull away, frustrated at what he perceives to be a lack of strength*
EnsTren: Seto: *hates being weak*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *tugs him more snugly into his arms* Ah, but little light, a broken soul cannot save itself - why do you think Atemu's darling was so hurt, and the filth's treasure so sad before they found them? Your place was for me to own, and I was for you to save. It is not weakness - it is your strength, and I grieve that you cannot see it.
EnsTren: Seto: *pulls away, voice rough* I don't belong to anyone! I'm not some dog to be owned! *his neck tenses and he's trembling faintly*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *eyes widen in alarm, and he scoots forward, grabbing his hands* Little light - why are you angry? Have I done something wrong?
EnsTren: Seto: I don't belong to you! *pulling his arms away a little, leaning back*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *eyes narrow dangerously* Oh? Little light, I think you do. And I think you know you do.
EnsTren: Seto: *eyes widen in instinctive fear at perceiving something akin to Yami* *and he steps away, yanking at his arms* I'm not some beast you can collar! *struggling, but... damnit he doesn't want to hurt him, the connection between the two of them, he hates it, denies it, but it still has an effect*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *holds him tighter, eyes narrowed in frustration and fury* If you were, this would be easier! Dammit, why the hell don't you just admit who you are and be happy with me?!
EnsTren: Seto: *now sees someone he hates in him as well as that fear* I'm Seto Kaiba, I won my name, I'm not who you were "meant for" any more! I am not your dog. *becoming more agitated and upset*
EnsTren: Seto: You're just like him, worse than him!
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *snarls and shoves him back, eyes almost glowing in fury* I am not anyone but myself, and neither are you! Damn it - why can't you figure that out?! I don't hate you, I don't want to beat you, I am not going to hurt you for my own satisfaction!
EnsTren: Seto: *putrid terror and determination in his eyes, he can't back down while a normal person would crouch and cringe*
EnsTren: Seto: No... You just want me to be be yours. Part of my hell paid for me being me, and I'm not going to give it up for some... thing that I never needed before.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *stalks closer, nearly trembling with the force of his fury* You... you... you fucking idiot. *slowly snarling out the words* You belong to me. You have always belonged to me. You didn't know and it was killing you. You know it now and you're killing yourself. You selfish idiot, you're killing us both!
EnsTren: Seto: *nastily* Did I belong to you when I had a collar choking me and burning my throat while blows rained down on my back?
EnsTren: Seto: You weren't there, I was, you didn't stop it, I did.
EnsTren: Seto: You have no fucking right to me.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *stalks forward into Seto's space, the air around him slowly turning an inky black, his voice a silken hiss* You were stolen from me. You were kept from me. I will not allow it to happen again.
EnsTren: Seto: *hates and fears the shadow realm with a passion and cringes*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *continues to slide closer, eyes narrowed and gleaming as the darkness grows deeper* But even now you deny me. Even now you fight me. Even now you try to escape the darkness - but you know that I won't ever let you go. *presses slender fingertips, enshrouded with shadow, against his the curve of his too-pale cheek, and smiles like death* Pretty little light, you are mine.
EnsTren: Seto: *cold like death, eyes dead* I would deny you to my death. *would kill himself before his life belonged to another. Becuase then his life, as well as his death, would be his own.*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *eyes so deep a blue that they seem black as he leans closer, too intimate, lips brushing against Seto's as he speaks* But I would give you mine to make you smile again.
EnsTren: Seto: *distinctly uncomfortable, someone who at first seemed as the other, an outsider, then maybe... someone like Mokuba, only he would not have to protect or shelter him. Then something terrifying and hateful, offering him... offering him...*
EnsTren: Seto: *tensing trembling, fear and confused, but no hope. There's no such thing as hope, only chance.*
EnsTren: Seto: *and chance never favors him, all good that has happened to him was not chance, only his own determination and mind.*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *his words are more hushed than a whisper, murmured against his mouth* Well, precious light? Which do you choose? My life or my death? I give all to you...
EnsTren: Seto: *turns his head away, trembling lips brushing the other's as he does* I-I don't understand. *ashamed of admitting that, but taking and giving? One either takes, ignores, or gives.*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *strokes his fingers lightly along his collarbone, darkness flowing in the wake of his motion, his breath heated against his skin* Don't you? It's a fair trade, my light, and the game is yours... so choose whichever pleases you most, and I will grant it to you.
EnsTren: Seto: *protests weakly, a child's whine, containing a frightened whimper* I only want me an' Mokuba to be happy and comfortable.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *laces his fingers in his hair and turns his face back, eyes intent* Do you want me to save you, little light? Do you want me to make you and Mokuba happy and comfortable?
EnsTren: Seto: *his eyes are wet and burning and he shakes his head slowly, meeting his eyes* I should be able to do it myself.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *very softly* But you don't need to.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *rests his forehead against Seto's* Little light, will you let me save you?
EnsTren: Seto: B-but I should be able to... an-and-and...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *gently, but infused with thick shadow* Will you let me save you?
EnsTren: Seto: Save me from what? Bring me where? Weaken me how?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *presses flush against him, too closely* Save you from your hell. Bring you into the light that you are. I have nothing to hurt you...
EnsTren: Seto: Ryou's Yami hurts him. Yugi was frightened of his Yami for a while. *not meeting his eyes* How do you know my light isn't dead? Beaten out of me? Am I so weak I cannot even stand on my own?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *quietly* If you had lost your light, I would not have found you. If you had fallen, I would not exist. I am neither the pharaoh nor the thief. I am myself. And you are you, you are neither Ryou nor Yugi. Why do you doubt us so?
EnsTren: Seto: I doubt everyone *calming, relaxing a little, stilll fearing, but like a horse, if he cannot see what brings him fear he finds it lessened* Everything is against me for at least a little while, even Mokuba. How can you be any diffrent?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *leans forward again, lips soft against his skin* Because, little light, I need you as you need me. There is no room for distance between us.
EnsTren: Seto: You'll make me weak. I'm not like either of them, I can stand up for myself.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles sadly* If they only grew stronger when they were complete, would not the same be true of you?
EnsTren: Seto: They were weak to start with, and they still depend on them.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *his eyes grow blank, and he withdraws his hands, sliding back a step* Is that your decision?
EnsTren: Seto: I don't know, I hate not knowing. *hugs himself, giving into the child's impulse* You're cold and warm at the same time. And *quiet whisper* You frighten me. *hates being afraid, he shivers and crunches his shoulders in*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *reaches out to touch him again, then stays his hand, a breath away from his skin* I... I will leave you if that is what you truly desire.
EnsTren: Seto: I... I had started thinking... maybe... maybe you'd be perfect. Like me but not me, so I could talk to you like you tell me to talk to Yugi and his friends, like I talk a little to Mokuba. But I wouldn't... I wouldn't need to protect, or shelter. I could wear short sleeved shirts and open collars without makeup around you, maybe, maybe.
EnsTren: Seto: Exactly like me, nothing...I don't know, don't understand, not just male, but like me, not frightening. Maybe I could kiss you without worrying, or being frightened, or not knowing, eventually. Maybe.
EnsTren: Seto: But then...Then you're like them, a bit of Yami, a bit of what he ripped out of me, a bit of Pegasus, a bit of... a lot of G-Gozaburo.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *naked hurt in his eyes* I am your darkness, my light... I am everything that you ever hated. I - I cannot help what I am...
EnsTren: Seto: I'm too broken to love you unconditionally as they love their others.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *shakes his head quietly* Do you know what the thief's treasure sees when he looks in his eyes? Do you know what the pharaoh's jewel has hidden beneath his innocence? We are all broken, my light - we all have shattered glass for souls. That is why I need you - that is why I love you. Don't you see? You are... you are not too broken for me, you could never be...
EnsTren: Seto: I'm hideous. Don't you know what your pharaoh did to me, ripped the darkness out of me? How can I be something for you if that's what had to happen to me?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles softly* Pretty little light, my pharaoh helped you - you are for me because you are pure.
EnsTren: Seto: *shakes his head* no...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *draws closer, carefully lifting his chin to meet his eyes* Yes. My light... my savior.
EnsTren: Seto: I thought you wanted to save me?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *softly* I do.
EnsTren: Seto: *leans a little towards him* Frighten me, weaken me... I hate you, hate what is between us, but... but....
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *smiles, but the expression is tight with pain, and his voice is a tiny whisper* But I love you...
EnsTren: Seto: I... I try to deny it but I can't. It hurts, you hurt like that first touch of magic on my soul... I still dream of dying, sometimes.
EnsTren: Seto: Sometimes I think my soul was pulled loose of my body, so many times it leaves on it's own.
EnsTren: Seto: If it did, I liked to pretend it would go and watch Mokuba while my body was stuck. But it would go to you. I hate myself for that.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *closes his eyes for a moment, then curls his hands into Seto's hair and steps closer* Why hate yourself for something you cannot control?
EnsTren: Seto: Because he should come first!
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *very softly* In your heart, he does... that is something more precious than I could ever give you.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: But little light, his life is not your own, and your soul is not tangled within his.
EnsTren: Seto: How can he be if my soul would go to you? If I feel as if I would put you before him... *his face betrays his horror at his words*
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *shakes his head and slowly draws him into his arms, pressing his lips to his ear* No, little light, not that... not that at all... you sought me out because you lacked the power to find him on your own - the failure is mine for not giving you what you needed to find him.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *very softly* Do you hate me for that?
EnsTren: Seto: I hate... I don't need to hate you for that.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *pulls him closer, wrapping himself around him* Then who, little light?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Who do you hate, if not me...?
EnsTren: Seto: I hate you, but not becuase of that. And I hate myself.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: ...I wish you wouldn't...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: I wish I could make you happy...
EnsTren: Seto: I give my happiness to Mokuba. I gave up my innocence for mokuba.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: ...will you give your light to me?
EnsTren: Seto: No matter what you say I don't see how I can have light left in me.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *offers him a sad, sad smile* I know. But I see it just the same.
EnsTren: Seto: I... I don't want to give up what I suffered so badly for. Even though I crave what you offer in return.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *tilts his head and blinks slowly* Give up...? I ask for no sacrifice...
EnsTren: Seto: You want me to be yours, and I fought so hard to be my own...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *closes his eyes and sets his jaw* Whatever I am is yours. Whatever you are is mine. They - we are the same, my light.
EnsTren: Seto: Then what is your hell?
Edmondia: AE!Seto: *he leans forward and presses his forehead to Seto's - and a deluge of images pass by at a blinding speed* golden sand and shrieking darkness tearing up the blessed land, blood splattered over marble and silk shredded in his hands, bile in his mouth and spilling past his lips, fine white bone splintered through dark flesh, and the Shadows scream with the voice of his cousin, and the Darkness crashes down to drown them all -
EnsTren: Seto: *pain calls to pain, despair to despair. Two hells* Tense and tight, too straight, spine hurting, danger prickling over his skin, leather under his chin... Can't breathe, too tight, the bottom edge of it cutting into his skin, blood, sweat. Don't fall, don't fall, you'll blur the page and he'll get angry. Blood cresting welts, scabs screaming when broke, no don't put me in the closet again... I can't breathe. Soul, torn out of my body, ripped apart, death dreams, I'm dead...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Oh gods I'm dead where is my cousin my brother my pharaoh my star where is he please stop it's too dark here, it's too cold, oh gods it's too much I can't breathe I can't think it's so dark it's so cold where's the light I need the light I need the light!!
EnsTren: Seto: He's going to hurt Mokuba, Mokuba! Die, die you bastard, blood on my hands? I smile, good, gone, dead and red. Why did he save Mokuba? Why can't I save him? I always saved him, he's going to take him away from me.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: And he's gone, and they're all gone, and the darkness just laughs when he screams for him, and the darkness just laughts when he rages and shrieks and roars his fury, and the darkness won't stop laughing and he's so cold and they took him away and he's alone... alone in the dark and he hates it here and he can't even cry anymore...
EnsTren: Seto: Doesn't let himself cry, can't cry anymore. Maybe all his tears are gone except the ones that wet his eyes and if he cries anymore he'll be blind. That's silly, childish. He just won his case to be an emancipated minor, that means he has to be an even bigger boy, he has to be an adult because now he has to get custody of Mokuba. He can't show any weakness because then they'll hurt him, they will hurt him, they try to hurt Mokuba. Try to touch him and them and hurt. Only peons and Mokuba don't hurt.
EnsTren: Seto: Can't falter, they'll pounce, they'll be at square one, and he can't live though that again. Agony, humiliatation, beast, dog. He's come too far to give up.
Edmondia: AE!Seto: Darkness, darkness, darkness, and he's lost his voice for screaming but those eyes are burning behind him and he can't find him he can't find him where did he GO?!
EnsTren: Seto: There's no one for me, only me. And he has to be there for Mokuba, has to protect him, Mokuba can't be there for him, never, have to keep him clean and pure and normal. Please Dragonking let him be normal. Grow up good and nice and normal, don't let me fail, even if it kills me. Let me bear the wounds for him that I always did, I don't care how many times I'm shot or stabbed. Just... his faith in me is my pillar, but so easily tipped, let him fall against me when he crumbles...
Edmondia: AE!Seto: ...there's nothing left here. He's dead and he's dead and it was worth nothing because the darkness is clouding his mind and choking his heart and he's failed him, he's failed him, it was all worth nothing and his pharaoh must hate him now...
EnsTren: Seto: Turned his back on me, why? After all I did, sacrificed for him, Shielded him too well. He hates me, turns to him, HIM. Nothing left in me, cold cold... worse than Pegasus, worse worseworse, freezing cold, sad and depression and nothing. Why does he hurt him? He has enough scars, doesn't he?

Edmondia: (And now... bed is calling my name.)
Edmondia: (nainai)
