Ficlet for Mina-chan. I'm sorry it's so late! T.T I'm not worthy.
Requirements: must be about Soujiro.
Soujiro had always lived his life for other people. He was a slave to his family when he was small, and hten he was Lord Shishio's servant and tool. Soujiro never really knew what it meant to be selfish.
Oh, he had certainly seen and experienced selfish and self-centered people beofre. He had known corruption and even worked for it, but he could never really understand what it meant or how people could become like that.
Sometimes he would wish for things – things that made him feel like he was a selfish individual. He wished he didn't have to feel what he did, didn't have to know his memories so clearly. Didn't have to feel lost so often.
But that was selfish. Wasn't it? With so many people who needed help. So many who were worse off than he was. So many who deserved better. Everyone deserved better than he did. He was tainted. Unclean, both of mind and body and he knew it. He knew this and tried not to feel self pity. It was somehting he did not deserve.
Soujiro could not afford to be selfish. He did not know what it meant and never would. There were people out there he needed help—needed him. Not as a slave or a servant or tool, but as an aid, a companion. A savior.
It was nice to be needed.
Soujiro had always lived his life for other people.
He was not about to stop now.
