notes :: As this is my first attempt at anything halfway decent, I should warn you that it is complete and other bullshit. BUT SURE. It's the story I've been dreaming to write. Teru, I'll pledge my heart to you.

.

When he is young, he dreams of holding on to the hands of the stars,

approaches the light, scantily clad in wonderous promises.

.

.Fractured.

.

When he closes his eyes, the door to his dreams appears before him.

Of course - a terse grin plays on his lips - he should know better than to carry ill-forgotten dreams, and yet otherwise what should his heart even beat for?

He would gather and tentatively hold glass marbles as if they were diamonds.

.

The moonlight dances across the room, lances of light leaping from surface to surface.

-what did I do to deserve this-

It mocks him.

-WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN-

He allows himself a second for self-pity and succumbs to silence.

(Like his tears will rip a giant diorama, ha ha ha.)

.

The streetlights are extinct but no one will snatch his light.

Ephemeral emotions vanish with the wind, and suddenly it resonates as clear as a bell.

He will not allow toxic thoughts to seep through - just because he can no longer dance, does not mean he will let it define him.

Sunlight thrusts through the streets, stretching towards an alternative future.

-you'll shoot for the stars, my Prima Dona-

.

(Oh, but sometimes...)

He'll keep on shining...
