Yay for like 9-minute drabbles. Variance's wonderful work inspired my muses to start kicking me about Seikou writing again. It's not that great, and incredibly shounen-ai-y, but...
You're asleep now, the pale grey undersuit stretching slightly with every breath, your white hair spread across the grass, clearly peaceful. Dreaming of something good, clearly.
I know if I sleep I'll go back to nightmares. Relive every death I've caused again. It seems to be my eternal destiny.
I used to wonder why you seem to be able to relax after every battle, why none of what happened scarred and angered you like it did me... but I think I finally understand.
You told me once that your creator had "built you to live". It didn't make any sense to me...
But... I was built for something else. The first words my creator spoke to me as I questioned my name, my destiny, my purpose... "You were made to be the perfect Hunter."
So, while you were built to live, to choose your own destiny, to follow your own path... I was built to fight. And, eventually, my battles will catch up with me. Vice or Rika or another Maverick altogether... no matter what form destiny comes in, it's inescapable.
But maybe, just for today, I can try and live in your world. Sample life, with you by my side to guide me...
And I close my eyes, knowing for one night, I'll escape the nightmares.
Now, back to preparing for ZOMGZPLANE!
