Author's Note: I don't own Noragami. Spoilers for Chapter 49+. Very Yato-introspective. Drabble-ish.
SELFISH DESIRE
I. Suss
Like always, his Father was a force to be reckoned with, and the peace that pushed away Yato's worries was shattered when he was forced to remember who and what he was.
He had been reminded of his tainted hands, and that the darkness that followed him would fall onto those around him.
Her teeth bit into his skin and he tried not to grimace.
Cut ties and maybe her problem would have been solved. His debt would be settled.
So he thought, but his hands had begun to sweat as he held sekki, and he knew he wouldn't be able to do it. It was too late then...he owed her too much- but that was just an excuse.
Their ties were lingered with other hopes and wishes that fortified them.
For the first time, he thought, 'I want to know you,' and it was alarming.
He had resigned it- tried- but destruction was his being, his name, and it lingered and consumed all light.
She had almost become lost...and this was a warning to him: 'Don't forget'.
They could unravel so easily what took him centuries to achieve.
II. Scourge coming soon.
