I'm excited, he's listless, it's complicated.

[pinnedandbroken]

So you wound up making the deadline? You still have to unpack and there's the chance that they won't accept the application. It's ugly and not worth consideration. Seimei will be there as well, I won't be allowed to see Ritsuka, so it doesn't matter anymore.

I told you that Seimei would not allow me to leave so easily.

What makes you think I can't see you?

[pinnedandbroken]

Seimei won't allow it.

[in_loveless_memory]

But... I want to see you.

[pinnedandbroken]

I want to see Ritsuka too.

[in_loveless_memory]

But... you just said...

[pinnedandbroken]

I want to, but I don't know if I will.

[in_loveless_memory]

Because... to you, Seimei's law is absolute, right? [Because no matter what they talked about, or how much Soubi said he loved him, or Soubi said he was Ritsuka's fighter, Seimei was Soubi's law.]

[pinnedandbroken]

Yes. As long as I bear his name. [To Soubi, so long as he bore the name Beloved, Seimei was God.]

[in_loveless_memory]

Soubi... something like that... that name can't be removed. Scars don't heal.

[pinnedandbroken]

You could write over it.

[in_loveless_memory]

I won't... I... I won't hurt you like that.

Anddd he couldnt resist, sorry ;x

[dearly_beloved]

Soubi.

You've picked up many bad habits it seems.

;^; so wonderful

[pinnedandbroken]

Seimei. [Soubi still hadn't figured out what Seimei wanted from him.]

;D

[dearly_beloved]

Well, are you going to explain yourself?

[pinnedandbroken]

If Seimei wasn't there I was going to go back to Ritsuka.

[dearly_beloved]

But now that I will be you can't.

You have a tongue, you could ask. [There's that tone, but it's not really a warning tone but more of a devious one. Go ahead, ask Soubi.]

[pinnedandbroken]

If you abandoned me, that would be fine. [Soubi knew better than to say it again, and yet now he had. He could never ask to leave Seimei, he could never go against the name.]

[dearly_beloved]

[ Anddd...now is his tone is dangerous, so tread lightly.]

But I won't. Because your mine and you will always be mine. When I'm here and when I'm not, you are mine.

[pinnedandbroken]

And Nisei? [Why did Seimei want both of them, if he wanted to keep Soubi why did someone else share the same name as well?]

[dearly_beloved]

That has my name on it too, doesn't it? [Because 2 dogs are better than one.]

[pinnedandbroken]

I don't care. [Soubi was stronger wasn't he, why would you want another fighter.]

1/2

[dearly_beloved]

[Well that amuses him.]

Since when are you of the thought that your opinion matters to me?

[dearly_beloved]

The sacrifice commands and the fighter obeys.

Are you in need of retraining?

[pinnedandbroken]

No. [He remembers well enough. Though being with Ritsuka has given him more of a voice.]

1/2

[dearly_beloved]

It doesn't sound that way.

[dearly_beloved]

Humor me Soubi, what choice would you make if Nisei was gone?

[pinnedandbroken]

I would stay. [There was no choice.]

[dearly_beloved]

Of course you would. [Because Soubi is obedient to the very end.]

But I wonder if there's not more to it then that. You would enjoy it if Nisei were gone. [Seimei knows of Ritsuka and Soubi's bond of course, but there are some things that Ritsuka could never offer that Seimei does. And in that weird twisted way, it's what Soubi was raised to want.]

[pinnedandbroken]

Yes. [Soubi didn't want to feel like he had been replaced, he was supposed to be the only fighter for Beloved. He was better than Nisei and stronger so why did Seimei need him.]
