Lavi had never been one to fear the hollow silence. It was easy for him to avoid the awkward silence. The silence in the Noah home did not make him tremble in fear, it was the noise.
He could hear the gentle movements of the teases as they flew through the air as he and Tyki made love. The sounds of Rhode's loud giggles when she walks into their room while they in the throws of passion to inform them they have a job to do. It was the screams of his friends in the prisons below him; it was the friends' urgent cries to save them that scared him the most.
But there was one silence that scared him the most.
The agonizing quiet whimpers as they lay dieing in halls down below. It was his silence as he stood, in his Noah form, over his friends as he delivered the final blow. It is the silence he feels as he and Tyki walk away toward their bedrooms he sees Allen's dead eyes as he walks past his corpse.
No, he thinks, the silence doesn't scare him. It's the silent void inside of him he has to fill that does.
