To be Special
As the sound of bullets being fired echoes through the silence and bodies turn black and crumble, a boy, or young man, screams, because these are people he has sworn to protect even if swearing to do such a thing doesn't hold.
Lavi watches with a blank expression as the ashes are whisked away by the shockwaves of explosions, and he doesn't care about those people at all like Allen does.
Allen screams again as his Innocence violently flares to life and he cuts through the Akuma without mercy, even while he does it for their sake too. Allen is one of a kind, but Lavi has to agree with Kanda that he gets naïve sometimes. Neither Kanda or Lavi really care about it; these people and their fate. Kanda cuts through the Akuma with no mercy because it's his job, and not because they killed these people, as is their job. Or more like their whole reason for existing and with no choice whatsoever in the matter.
...sort of like what Central expects of Exorcists.
Lavi and Kanda can both watch deaths like this without reacting or taking it hard. Some people would call it cold, some would call it selfish, some would call it a way of coping.
In the end, it really is simply cold, isn't it?
But for Lavi and Kanda there's nothing wrong with that. Rather, they see it as something right. Kanda says that it's war, so they should be used to it and not let it get to them. Lavi says that he can't let it get to him because it shouldn't, that he really just cares for Kanda and the others in the end.
Maybe lack of sympathy makes them bad people, but then that's what they are, but doesn't that make the people they do care about even more special?
It's not an excuse. Lavi knows that it makes him a bad person, and Kanda probably does too, but Lavi was never supposed to be a good person, and Kanda just can't care less.
But that's why it's so special that they see it as a duty to protect and risk their lives for those certain people. They protect those people that don't matter too, but that's when they can, when it won't kill them, because people they don't care about aren't worth wasting a life on, are they?
And that's why it's so special that they can say, but not directly so because that would just make them angry at one another, that they would give away their lives for each other (and a few others), even if they have decided that none of them will die until the war is over.
But dying when protecting each other isn't a waste, is it?
Dying when protecting the people they don't know is, however, because then they won't have each other anymore.
Then they won't have each other to hurt.
Then they won't have each other to hold.
Then they won't have each other to hate.
Then they won't have each other to love.
And that's what matters the most.
