Fleeting Moments
By Dan'yu
Drabble #34: Possession
Possession. The want to have more, a driving, aching need to be closer than they could ever be, to have more of each other than possible, warring with the parts of them that were owned. Like objects, possessions, the confusion caused by the impulse to possess him sickened her, somehow cheapening the quality of the love they felt for one another. It was the forced bond, the possession their god had over them that tainted the purity of their affection.
Sometimes she felt no better than Akito.
Haru understood. He understood how hard it was to separate the bonds of enslavement and forced adorations from the bonds of friendship and romantic love. But still, the thought that she more than wanted him, that something instinctual and primal inside her thought the only way to fully be his and make him his was possession, turned her stomach.
It was times like that when she clung close to Haru, and wished only to love him purely.
