I wish I weren't so behind on d.gray. I wanted to write about so many other characters aside from allen, but I don't remember enough to even attempt it. :(
12 september | an ode to your innocence
There are times when Allen curses his Innocence. Some nights he will sit up late and watch the moon rise, clenching his right hand almost painfully, staring hard as its tendons and joints strained.
Other nights he will gaze in the mirror for hours, tracing the markings on his face over and over again with his eyes, bitterly contemplative.
On these kinds of nights, when Allen finally lays down on his creaky hotel bed and closes his eyes, trying to remember a time when he was a small child and whole and unscarred.
