I have snipped your wingspan
My precious captive swan
Here all clipped of kickstand
Your spirit won't last long
Don't you lift a finger
Don't you snap and jaw
Limber limbs akimbo
Rest till rubbing raw
Don't hold out for rescue
None can hear your call
Till I have wrest and wrecked you
Behind these fortress walls

Spidery fingers wrapped around his own boney hands, stilling his small twitching movements over the sharp metal robot. Near felt the softly puckered scars on the person's fingertips, most caused by handling a knife or lighting a match while doused in gasoline…
The boy shuddered slightly, thinking the person behind him couldn't feel his body's tremors, but the soft chuckle that came from beside his ear told him otherwise. "Good evening, Nate." His visitor, rapist, master said lowly. Near scowled softly, placing the sharp robot that he had once tried to throw in his defense and said nothing.
"No 'good evening, Master' back? Tsk, where are your manners Nate?" One of the spidery hands lifted and began to caress the long, slightly pink scar on Near's smooth cheek. The man pulled Near back so that the boy leaned against his too-skinny chest; Near could feel his abnormally low body temperature and this made him shudder.
"Beyond…" Near murmured, softly angry but trying to show no emotion in his deadpan voice. The boy looked up at his 'Master's' face and saw that it was turned down so it could look at him. The edges of Beyond's crimson eyes tilted upwards as a crooked smile appeared on the man's lips.
"What did I say about that name, Nate?" Near mentally sighed, knowing that he really couldn't win when arguing with a person just barely holding onto their sanity, and fixed his features into a small, cute pout.
"If you get to call me by my real name, why can't I call you by yours…master?" Beyond chuckled lowly in his throat, making Near shiver slightly at the noise.
The chains were never kind to their captives…

Oh shut it Near, you know you love it.
Geh, I need to update on 'No Refunds', buut…I'm lazy. I'll do it later (nod)
This song is from The Decembrists' new album 'The Hazards of Love'…which I'm listening to right now…quite loudly. :D
