Heck if I know where this one came from. I was listening to Linkin Park's "The Little Things Give You Away" and this little plot bunny just started skipping around my head.... It's a Doumeki-centric and AU and ummm....dark. Hinted character death. It may not make sense... NOT A SONGFIC THOUGH!
Smoke swirls around him as he steps through the gloom of another nightmare. They come every night now it seems. Seeping into his mind and tugging out his memories from the depths where he'd buried them.
The smoke is black, curling and swirling. It's choking him.
He could run, but it would do no good. As far as he can see in every direction is nothing. Dark, cold, cruel nothingness. It chokes him nearly as much as the smoke.
He continues his slow walking. It doesn't do anymore than running would. But he does it anyway.
He's not sure where it changes but there's suddenly a hand, reaching out to him. Eyes, pleading with him, clouded with fear. He wants to reach for it, but he never can. His body refuses to move. It's taunting.
You've made your choice. You have to live with it.
And then, there's blood. Deep, red, seeping through his clothes. Not his own. He knows to whom it belongs. And it's all his fault.
He tries to cry out but the darkness swirls in closer, suffocating him slowly. Soon he'll awake. And he'll go about his day as usual. But the dream will return come nightfall. Forever there to serve as a reminder that he'll always have a friend's blood on his hands.
