Bind.
T: Written in response to chapter 123 and my initial reaction to it! Slight gore, spoilers for the recent story arc, and this is a drabble. I own only the plot and the fear that inspired it!

He has always done what he could to protect those that he loved, has always been one to favour actions over words.
Yet when Subaru's heart had been broken…when the pain and misery of that hurt had pulled the other into a deep sleep…had had been unable to do anything.
He had sworn that he would not be again bound as such, that he would do whatever it took to assure Subaru's safety and yet…
The 'boy'…the soulless being, who might or might not be a trap from the Hunter, had stolen that promise from him.
If only he had not allowed himself to be taken in by the promise held within that child's blood, if only he had focused on the threat of the boy…
No.
No, he was not entirely at fault here.
Despite his injury, despite the new addition to the boy's face to serve as a reminder of just how dangerous he was, he would have tried to end it.
Would have killed the boy without thought.
Yet Subaru had asked him to stop, the other's voice full of an emotion he had believed the Hunter had stolen away and he had been unable to do anything other than listen to that plea.
Had been unable to do anything other than watch as the boy approached Subaru's cocoon, his eyes filled with nothing other than the intent to fulfil his want…
…had been forced, through that simple plea, to watch as that sword had pierced the cocoon…
...as his beloved twin had been stolen from him.

T: Yes I know Subaru's not dead! Kamui will also realise this fact just not in this little drabble! R+R I desperately need the love.
