I never claimed I was better than you. I never claimed that we weren't the same. I am what you say I am. I am a beast. A beast with stone lungs and I blame you for that.
I blame you for stagnating my breath. I blame you for knocking the air right out of me. I blame you for kissing away any breath I had left from your kicks connecting with my ribs. I blame you for throwing me off a wall I didn't even know I balanced on.
I blame you for making me fall.
And I know we are the same. I know with my ice heart that it's true. I know that you may be a beast, but I am a monster. We are the same. We have weaknesses that are so easily exploited. Weaknesses that we try to guard with our thick skin or our own blades. Our icy hearts worn on sleeves to freeze away pain.
I am glad I did this. I am glad I entered these walls to meet you. I am glad that you and I shared a glass house that could not be saved. I'm glad that I kissed you. I'm glad that I could make you realize that wall was there.
I'm sorry I threw the first stone in our glass house.
But, Mikasa.
I am so glad that I fell for you.
A/N: Okay guys. This was also posted on my AO3 account. First ficlet in awhile. Hell, first ANYTHING in awhile. Bear with me I have a lot going on. I'll be sure to update my other five as soon as I can.
Cheers,
Renard
