Loveless #9

[He can't take it. He can't take how gentle Soubi is when he knows that Seimei rules in his mind. Seimei says "come" and Soubi obeys no matter how much he claimed to love him, how much to claim he was his fighter. Ritsuka had accepted Soubi as his fighter.

And was abandoned.

Intentional or not Soubi committed what the act he feared to have done for him.]

I'm fine, Soubi. Even if I were, which I'm not, you...
