AU (Alternate Universe) setting. Yaoi/Shounen-Ai.
Beautiful
He's so beautiful.
Everything about him is so utterly enthralling.
I cannot take my eyes off of him – not even for a moment.
From his ebony-coloured hair to his eyes with the lilt of jade gemstones, there isn't a single thing about him that isn't beautiful.
I've always loved him – everything about him.
I've always longed to be by his side.
That's the very reason I cannot understand the things he does.
On the streets, under the cover of night – so many people go in and out of that room, the one he sleeps in, or so he says.
I've talked to him several times, at night, always, under the streetlamp at the corner where he always stands.
He always wears black, I don't understand why – but it suits him. Occasionally, he'll wear green or grey or white.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I can't understand why he stands under that streetlamp on that corner.
I'd go there every day just to talk to him.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I can't understand why there are screams from his room every night. I swear that they're his screams.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I can't understand why he would link hands with those filthy men every night when I'm wishing I could be there – without having to pay.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I can't understand why they call him the things that they do. Someone like him deserves so much more.
Sometimes, I really wish I could be that something more.
He's so beautiful.
That is why I don't know why he dresses the way he does – so little clothing even in the dead cold of winter.
He says he has to.
Oh, what I'd give to be standing next to him in just a shirt. He could have my coat. The cold wouldn't bother me so long as he was warm.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I can't seem to believe that this is all he can do.
He told me this was. He needed to do this to survive.
I didn't get to tell him that he was wrong.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I fell in love with him.
He's so beautiful.
That's why I can't understand why he's dead.
Ulquiorra, I never got to tell you that you were beautiful.
Author's Note: I don't think it takes a genius to figure this out. I mean, seriously, it's really simple. I wanted to, really, just try something new – just like when I wrote "Innocence". It was fun and it didn't take long. I know, I know – "Mon Espoir" will be updated soon!
