Well hello there! Welcome to my first bout of fictional fan writing!
First of all, I need to tell you all that yes, this is an Akuroku fanfic. Yes, there will be yaoi. Yes, this is slightly AU... and YES I USE RATHER SOPHISTICATED LANGUAGE. Allow me to apologize now for my short comings. I love you all, though, for clicking on this and I hope you enjoy it :)
The /1 That Never Was
Day 1: Nothing
I DON'T think I can say that my story has a definite beginning… or ending, for that matter. Even so, I think I'll have to start with something… Correction, I think I'll start with nothing. Yes, nothing.
In the beginning, there was nothing. I saw nothing, I knew nothing, I felt nothing. It's probable, though, in those first few moments of my life, I didn't need any of those things… I had no purpose to fulfill, no goals to achieve. For how can one reason and truly think when lacking the instruments that create clarity and thought? How can you witness without eyes? How can you speak without a voice? How can you do anything without a will to do so? I was merely an empty shell, the darkness that had shed itself from someone. My someone. Little did I understand, if comprehension was possible at that stage, that all of this was true.
Time ticked itself away while I brewed thoughtless thoughts.
I wonder when it was, how long it had been, when that man's voice rung in the ears once useless to me. When I saw his hands float up to summon shapes. Letters I could see with the eyes once unused. What was it that he told me? Ah, yes.
"…You seek answers…"
"…I can give you purpose…"
These words have always meant not a single thing to me, but I suppose those words held the bind of my destiny. Those couple sentences, I believe, were my true beginning. A beginning uncalled for, but a beginning, nonetheless.
