⎠= waking them up after a nightmare
        nothing but pure darkness surrounds him, a void so pitch black and so deathly quiet his heartbeat echoes. the HEART of both a demon and a human, thatâs his only source of comfort. but in reality, it only worsens the fact that, indeed, heâs all alone. it SLOWLY sinks in, the feeling of ABANDONMENT. and his face CONTORTS in the bitter realization. then at that instance his nakama appear before him and for a moment rin is RELIEVED, smiling, even. but as he extends a hand out it, it was like touching a mist, nothing but a transparent illusion that wavered out before him.Â
         thatâs when rin knew, no one was there for him. his lungs burn as he tries to cry out but not a single noise escapes. ân-noâŚâ trembling his knees give in as he collapses down on the floor, kneeling hopelessly. he stares down at his hands with hazy vision, unable to focus it. âg-guys i thought y-you â â no, please, donât leave him. he never asked for this. he never asked to be born, especially as the cursed son of satan. all his life even as a child people compared him to a demon for an EXPLOSIVE temper, now he COULDNâT even deny it wasn;ât trust. because it was. blood doesnât lie, and boy, rin wish it did. donât leave him, donât leave him!Â
       all these PEOPLE that he cared deeply for were no LONGER in front of him. the priests at the monastery, his real father, shima, izumo, shura, suguro, konekomaru, shiemi ⌠and worst of all even â then that moment, all the DARKNESS fades as heâs greeted by the SCENERY of their dorm room CLOAKED in the moonâs light, and also the first person he sees is none other then; â h-huh? y-yukio? w-what are you â â spoke, feeling the firm grip of his brotherâs hands on his shoulders. a little disorientated after WAKING up, the teen quickly shakes his head. the first thing he notices is how messy the covers were. was he THRASHING in his sleep? was it all just a dream? still SHAKEN up blue orbs fixate upon the younger, then without warning his hands come up to touch yukioâs shoulders to CONFIRM that he was, indeed, real and not another fake.Â
       ââ now, finally, he exhales with great strain as if he hasnât BREATHED in forever. then finally he faces his brother, a HEAVY sigh heaved;
       â a-ah jeez ⌠sorry, did i wake you? âÂ
       ( and his brother wasnât getting much SLEEP these days either, was he? ) lips forcefully curl themselves in a strained smile, tired eyes reflecting back at his brother in the dark. his NERVOUS laughter echoing in their room. â câmon, iâm fine! your older brother isnât AFRAID of an little bad dream, go back to sleep, ah ⌠again, sorry tâwake ya, y-yukio. â
