.Love. (Vincent & Chaos.)
My poor friend, so small, so tired. I watch over him as best as I can, but my strength is far from fully developed. If I could kill for him, I swear I would. I will do anything he ever asks of me to the best of my ability.
If I were able to cry, I would be doing so. His little face, bruised and beaten, breaks my heart. He's just a little boy. Just a child. Far too young to have gone through all the pain he's experienced. It simply isn't fair.
Before my master goes to sleep, I come to visit him. I place a finger over his lips to hush him. He is the only one who is able to hear me, though I am not the only one who is able to hear him.
"I'm sorry, my friend," I tell him. "I was neither quick enough nor strong enough to protect you today, and for that, I truly am sorry." I see that his eyes are heavy, his body is tired and sore, and he wouldn't have the strength to answer me if I would let him. "But I promise you that this is all for the best. You will soon come to know what it is to feel love. No, please don't argue with me tonight. Close your eyes and sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day. Tomorrow is when we work on starting over. Rest well, my friend," I kiss his forehead and make sure he is tucked in well.
"Stay with me," he whispers, on the verge of sleep.
"I'll be right beside you," I promise. I sit on the floor and lean against the bed. I will not leave him unless he asks me to. Whatever he believes, I do love him.
