Chapter Title: The Eclipsed Sun


SEBASTIAN'S POV:

Bocchan…as I watch your sleeping figure, I wonder, what goes on in your dreams? Do you still have nightmares? Or is reality a nightmare in and of itself? Do you wish for the light that will never shine upon you again?

The sun, a beauty that I can perhaps compare to you. Ironic, isn't it? The "you" who continues to run in the darkness, the "you" who is trapped in despair, and the "you" who has lost all hope, has retained a childlike innocence that even a demon like me can't comprehend.

Before that month, you were just like any other child, innocent, kind, and hopeful for a bright future. A sun that was full of warmth, shedding its light to all.

Now, the sun has been covered by an eclipse, one that will remain until the sun dies out. Darkness has prevailed over the sun's ethereal light. People still hope that someday, the eclipse will be lifted, and the sun will smile upon them again.

How foolish, no wonder these humans are pathetic. "Something once lost, will never return, no matter how hard you struggle," isn't that what you always say Bocchan?

That is why I chose you, you embraced the darkness, knowing that it was the truth, and not running away from it. The darkness is the strength that drives you forward, with me by your side, always, till death.

I am the force that retains your darkness, that keeps the eclipse within your heart in place.

You know that this was preordained by fate, for you to live a life that will eventually end in misery. The heavens are probably enjoying your slow demise, as you collect the filth that the world has thrown on you. Yet you endure it all, always running forward, like the sun that must rise again for the next day, despite the darkness it still carries. You hold out, just a little longer, until your desire has been satiated.

A star you are whose life will someday end, whose breath will someday blow for the last time. I, as the darkness, will suck you in to the deepest depths of hell.

My Bocchan…


Author's note: Once again, inspired by the song "Gloria" by Kalafina (and now, Aria too). Anyway, it took a while for me to upload this since my Doc Manager was having processing errors. Oh, please point out any errors in the story since I typed this is a hurry. Hoped you enjoyed reading this (though I think the first chap was better ^^) and please be gentle with criticisms, this is my first seriously written fic!

Author's note 2: So sorry that it's short! (I can't seem to write long fics) Like I said, if ever I feel like adding anything to any of the chapters, I will.

Lastly, PLEASE REVIEW & DON'T FORGET THE POCKY!
