A/N: One of those little monologues that I can hear Kurogane doing. It came to me in the shower of all places... I let my mind wander and it came back with this. I keep telling it not to talk to strangers!!
Two: Words, Why, and Wavering Wills
Pretty words are wasteful. They do no good. It is more honorable to do than to say.
Words like, "I love you" and "I want to protect you" are worthless. It is much, much stronger to do than to say. However, it is harder. Words are easy. You can throw them around then take them back.
Words can inflict more damage on a soul than the sharpest of swords; it's wiser to keep your mouth shut.
There's one word, however, that I dislike. "Why". If that damn mage asks me that one more time, I'll!
…I honestly don't know what I could do if he asks me why one more time. There aren't words to actually tell him.
Sucks, doesn't it? As if anyone really needs to tell others their reasons. Sometimes, it's better not to be explained. Surely people would sleep better at night not knowing that, yes; there is someone in the universe that's out to get you. Eh. It's my business as well, and I assume I'm better off knowing.
But he won't be. Gods, he's cold now, not knowing! I don't want to know what would happen if I told him, if I could find the words.
And I can't. This is why words are petty and unneeded.
However, I've found… that sometimes… things are necessary. That there comes a time where you have to say what you don't want to; where you'd be twisting a dagger into someone's back by not speaking.
"Why?"
"Because I love you, idiot."
