And so I'm back from outer space…well, not really. But I thought it was a cool thing to say. Anyway…here is the third part of my Gintama drabble series! I may turn this into an actual story one day in the future but I am quite busy with my other fan fictions at the moment. So for now…I will happily continue to post drabbles and one-shots! Why not do them as chapters of one story you ask? My answer…cuz I don't feel like it. I don't want to bind them together like that. I'm not sure why but there is something so much more freeing about being able to write a drabble in my notebook during class and then typing it up during my lunch period to then post on the site. Multi-chap stories are exhausting are they not? Well, bare with me folks! Forgive the OOCness but Bansai is a tough nut to crack. I do adore him though, and I love him with Yamazaki. Let's keep the Yamazaki love flowing ok? Please review!!!
Title: Drabble # 3- Musical Nymph
Pairing: Bansai/Yamazaki
Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama! (glares)
Warning: shonen-ai and OOC-ness. Spoiler for the Shinsengumi Discord Arc
Musical Nymph
I am not merciful by nature. I kill and I lie and I feel no regret or sympathy. I follow Shinsuke and I don't care if other people don't understand why. There is only one thing I have always felt passionate about: music. I hear it everywhere and it gives me chills. Under my pseudonym "Tsunpo", I am able to express myself freely and my words are brought to life by the popular singer Otsuu-chan. Her voice brings my meaning out to reach the ears of those who would otherwise be deaf to it. For this, I am grateful.
However, good music is hard to find. Most people have ugly songs in their souls and it makes me angry. I hate them…they disgust me. Music is art…music is life…and it should always be beautiful and strong and resilient. Music must be cherished. Luckily, ever once in a while, a lovely tune will come along and capture my interest. This melody will drown out the terrible myriad and cleanse us of our sins. I am a sucker for beauty…and I was shocked by the identity of the one with the angelic soundtrack.
I was supposed to finish of the spy of Shinsengumi…Yamazaki Sagaru… but instead I spared his life. He was plain, but I still found him attractive with his messy black hair and large eyes which bespoke innocence, I felt something inside of me twist. I would have killed him as ordered, but as he lied there, bleeding and helpless, I heard his song. It was pure and wholesome. My heart stopped for a second and I felt warmth rush through my veins. Just who was that man and what was it about him that made me feel this way?
I spared Yamazaki's life and had to leave quickly…before I lost control. He watched me go; his mouth with those inviting lips was open in surprise. His lips…I still don't understand why I was intrigued by their soft appearance. But I heard his gentle and almost lonely song cry as I left him and I vowed to find him again one day to hear the continuation of his story. I could not kill this man…and ever since that day I have observed him from the shadows.
His song has become my life source and now I crave him every day. But the need is growing and I fear that soon…just watching and listening from afar will not be enough. I know that when I snap, I will take him and keep him forever, where only I can bask in his warmth. Yamazaki is my muse…my addiction…my musical nymph. But that day…he also became my weakness. As I told Shinsuke, I fell in love with his song and it was my downfall.
