A/N: First half of part 7. Quick note. I am unsure of how much longer I will continue posting on FFNET. You can find me on AO3 and Dokuga as Drosselmeyer. Currently, new content can be found on either of those sites. Thank you!
Misery doesn't always love company, and the harshness of his life returns as she disappears.
Suddenly, he's alone again.
It doesn't matter if the apartment is a mess, if he forgets to shower. When he comes home, he picks at his food or doesn't eat, and he passes time staring at the ceiling, his mind a blank slate that ignores existence.
Wake, work, come home, try to forget. And then, one morning when he dresses, Sesshoumaru has to tighten his belt an extra two notches.
Gold eyes snap up to the mirror, and he doesn't recognize the man staring back.
