Sick of you
Sometimes is easier to disappear. To vanish into thin air, and he thinks about it -about going away, so far she can't find him, not coming back. Sometimes he thinks it would be easier, that he'd live better, not having to look back and see her face, angry, a frown and a snarl, and that cruel way of telling him she doesn't really need him. Not now, not never, she says. And he knows it's not true, he knows she can't live without him -he can't live without her, either-, but that only makes it all worse, somehow.
Hi, she says, after a while. After the whole argument, after he's managed to pretend he's fine with it. Now he has his mask, and she can let hers slip, be herself, just her girl. Not a god, not a queen, not even the boy her father wanted her to be.
Hi, he says, and he's got that smile, and it's painful, wearing it, it is so painful and she needs it, she needs him, and he closes his eyes for a moment. We should go out. To the garden, you know? For a while.
Akito smiles. She has a soft smile, lips barely twitching, all her face rounding, becoming childish and beautiful and fuck, if only he could stop loving her. If only he could run away, but he's cursed.
Okay, she says. Takes his hand -he's been leaning on the wall, and now he's supposed to be the one following, as always. He doesn't mind. He shouldn't mind, because his parents told him so -follow him, follow the chosen one; it is your duty, it is a privilege not everyone can have. A blessing-, he should be glad nothing has really changed even if the family curse is not with him anymore.
He isn't.
Shigure's the dog of the zodiac. Shigure's always been it, deep inside, and he's sick and tired of it, because it is difficult being just a man, a whatever, boyfriend or husband or fiancé, it is difficult when she still expects him to treat her like his goddess. As if she was still sacred, or he her servant.
Things have changed, he tried to explain to her. Things have changed, he wants to tell her now. Only they haven't, really. Not for them.
