I want to breathe, I hate this night.
I want to wake up, I hate this dream.
I'm trapped inside of myself and I'm dead.
Don't wanna be lonely,
Just wanna be yours.

.

"Ah, the tea's gone cold."

He twirled the cup,

The liquid sloshing back and forth,

A drop settling into the old velvet carpet.

"Would you like me to refill your cup?"

Dull moonlight spilled out of his empty fogged window,

As he poured the tea he had brewed and hour earlier into an old, chipped, teacup,

Watching as the dust and dirt pooled at the water's surface.

Setting it down, he gazed absentmindedly at the empty seat across from him.

.

Why is it so dark where you're not here?
It's dangerous how wrecked I am,
Save me because I can't get a grip on myself.

.

He rested his head on their empty couch, his blue eyes glassy.

In his mind, it was still 1196,

Still summer with just a hint of fall,

Still, he was staring at the open and empty window.

D̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶g̶o̶ ̶-̶ ̶

D̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶-̶ ̶

I̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶.̶

"Stay."

And for a moment, he saw him standing there,

Head tilted just a bit back,

Eyes just shining a bit brighter,

Staying for just a moment.

Some part of him reached out,

Grasping desperately at the illusion.

.

Listen to my heartbeat:
It calls you whenever it wants to,
Because within this pitch black darkness,
You are shining so brightly.

.

He was gone in the morning,

Not a single trace left behind,

Nothing but cold and dirty tea in an old cup by the window.

A masked figure stopped to look at it, his red eyes softening.

-0-

Dark Spear tingled beneath his fingers as he smiled,

Tearing it all down, humans, Nobles, be damned,

It made no difference to him with power coursing through his veins like a drug.

His body painted red by his own blood, he fought it all away;

The pain, the loneliness, the longing,

Every single emotion consumed in the heat of battle.

.

Give me your hand, save me,
I need your love before I fall.
Give me your hand, save me,
I need your love before I fall.
Give me your hand, save me,
Give me your hand, save me,
Save me.
.

Master, can you hear me?

.

Today the moon shines brighter on the blank spot in my memories,
It swallowed me, this lunatic.
Please save me tonight,
Please save me tonight,
Please save me tonight,
Within this childish madness you will save me tonight.

.

He's d-e-a-d ~

"Shut up."

He abandoned you didn't he?

"Shut the fuck up."

Do you really think he cared about you?

You, a disgusting piece of low-life human trash, betrayed by your own kind?

He would sometimes mutter and in the dimly lit tavern bar,

Raising his voice to yell at Dark Spear unpredictably.

He would hear them whisper, their eyes pitying him

"Another lonely drunk - "

"Young men have so much time - "

"Is he okay?"

The thin blond stranger poured more alcohol down his throat.

.

I knew that your salvation
Is part of my life, and the only helping hand that will embrace my pain.
The best of me, you're the only thing I have.
Please raise your voice so I can laugh again.

Play on!

.

He was in Bangladesh, high and drunk,

Two men leading him down a empty alley, licking their lips all the while.

In the morning he woke, cut and bleeding, his clothes devoid of him.

He watched as the blood dripped,

Briefly wondering if that had been what his eyes had looked like.

.

Listen to my heartbeat:
It calls you whenever it wants to,
Because within this pitch black darkness,
You are shining so brightly.

.

Master, I'm dying.

He couldn't bring himself to say his name

In fear he would break all over again,

With only himself to pick up the pieces he left behind.

He murmured to himself as a stripper stroked his hair.

.

Give me your hand, save me,
I need your love before I fall.
Give me your hand, save me,
I need your love before I fall.

.

He gazed at New Hampshire from a skyscraper overlooking the city.

L'appel du vide.

Humans are drawn toward the void.

He hovered a leg over the edge.

How easy it would be to just step off?

.

Give me your hand, save me,
Give me your hand, save me.

.

He was in Korea,

The principle of Ye Ran High School.

He sat in his office, surrounded by stacks of papers.

A quiet knock sounded at his door.

"Come in.

"Shinwoo, what brings you here? Are you in trouble again?"

"Well, not this time.

"I brought a transfer student."

.

Give me your hand, save me,
I need your love before I fall.
Give me your hand, save me,
I need your love before I fall.

.

"Frankenstein."

Ah.

He had been pouring the tea bit too long.

He quickly retracted the kettle and apologized, his head bowed.

"I am sorry - "

"My deepest apologizes - "

Their eyes locked, his own blue irises blown wide.

"Master?"

Raizel looked away, his face downcast.

"I felt your thoughts while I... Was asleep."

Frankenstein was horrified.

"I - you - Please forget about that, Master."

He spoke quickly, panic seeping into his voice.

"It was just - I wasn't thinking correctly at the time and I - "

"Frankenstein."

He closed his mouth.

An air of sadness veiled over him.

"I..."

I heard you.

I couldn't save you.

I was there.

I couldn't stop you.

I loved you.

I left you.

I let you go.

I'm so sorry.

.

Thank you, for letting me be me,
For helping me fly,
For giving me wings,
For straightening me out,
For waking me from being suffocated,
For waking me from a dream which was all I was living in.
When I think of you the sun comes out,
So I gave my sadness to the dog.
Thank you. For being 'us.'

.


I switched the lyrics at the end so it would kinda give more a a feel.

The "masked red-eyed figure" was Ragar, and 'L'appel du vide' is french for 'the call of the void' (Why you always want to jump off high places) if you were wondering.

I was... Way too tired to write the emotional stuff after Rai and Franken apologized to each other.

Again, if you read this without listening the song I put at the beginning, go back and reread it while listening to the lyrics!

Was it good? Did it suck? My motivation is literally living on reviews, so, please, review!
