Anamnesis: This isn't love - Part II

"Ah, Rubedo. How is he?" It wasn't just his eyes that had changed, his mannerisms- his speech... everything almost.

I continue on anxious about sharing anything else more.

"I guess it's doing fine, I didn't have the courage to ask him directly. Sorry-"

Was this Rubedo person the only one he's ever cared about?

Maybe he just hates me, I simply can't wrap my head around this.

Constantly he's switching moods, loving me then hating me.

Sometimes he just plain- avoids me.

I do it all for him still because I love him, but I am blind- it's a blind sense of love.

I am blindfold on a thin rope, his words are the protruding spikes at the bottom.

He is evil, he is cruel, he is a monster I am told.

But I can simply avoid a man such as him, clearly he needs my help.

My smaller frame leans against him, as my small brown digits push and press against his strong chest.

Initially he looked towards me like I was doing something foreign or weird, but it wasn't until I closed my eyes was when he truly understood.

"I am afraid?" I say before my face turns away from him, to avoid a peep of another of his malicious smiles.

To my surprise he cocks his head in confusion, he knew that deep down I was afraid of him- and that I wanted to "help" him.

But afraid of what?

There were many things that I am afraid of, he couldn't possibly figure out which it was.

But a warm sensation surrounds me, it's an odd type of warmth- it's something that I've never felt this before.

"What are you doing?" I say anxiously moments away from jumping off the throne, just before leg of my mine can escape one of his stops me before "sneaking" a forehead kiss

My entire face turned had red, I couldn't believe it- I simply couldn't.

Our heads now lean on one another, his face "patiently" waiting for my reply.

I was so shocked by it all, I could only give a gentle nod and a small smile.

But Master- he is satisfied with that.

My face no longer blushes, now fully revealing my beautiful yet clean skin.

"You're not alone, you annoy me. Don't get me wrong. But-"

My heart sinks at what he's about to finish his words off with, my face flinches almost unwillingly to hear the end of it.

"Noticed why I haven't killed you off?"

The realization suddenly hits me like a ton of bricks, surely he's joking.

No, he isn't joking.

He'd be laughing away by now, he's serious about all of this.

The edge of his nose traces towards my face, "We're similar in a way, the two of us."

"Anyone says otherwise, well let's just say that they won't be able to move."

"For a very long time."

A smile appears across my face, "You're not half bad Master."

He looks towards me in false concern while he follows along with my joke, "Not half bad? Your dream certainly says otherwise!"

Our time stops here, the only time he'd ever shown me affection.

My body lands back down onto the cold floor, as I slienty watch him activate his earpiece.

"Be good. Or I'll make you." He smiles, unlike anything I've seen before.

Perhaps, in ways we really are the same- Albedo.
