08 | do you want me only for my body?

[alephbet]

Characters: Aleph and you.
Setting: June 1st, riiight after the reveal.
Format: Starting with actionspam, but will match you.
Summary: Aleph has had enough of it.
Warnings: Will edit if anything comes up.

[Aleph has always tried to stay strong.

He was a gladiator with no memories, then a Messiah with no choices. Then a hero with no ability to save the people he knew or even stop from killing them himself. Then a God-killer whose punishment would be eternal.

He did these things, he lived through these things and took minimal comfort because he knew it would all be worth it. For the people he would save, in the end. The future he would build.

Now he stares at what should be hands, his hands, as he sits outside his dorm room on the floor. He thinks about where he should be, what he'd done so much work for, and yet everyone on that world is dead now. He misses his demons. He realizes -

he doesn't even have eyes to cry-

-and so he just huddles up on the floor and sniffles pathetically.]

We'll be expert lightbringers. Don't worry.

[technologic]

[Now April giggles quietly.] Sounds good to me! And we'll help make things bright for others.

[alephbet]

Sounds perfect. We can always manage to do something here.

[technologic]

Yep, we can. And we all make a pretty good team when we work together, so this shouldn't be a difficult challenge for us.

[alephbet]

It's not hard at all.

[technologic]

Mmhm, and we've got each other to help support us as we do this, along with all our friends.

[alephbet]

Between us and the rest of everyone here, we can manage.

[technologic]

Right, we can. [She pauses for a moment.]

... Um, Aleph?

[alephbet]

Yes?

[technologic]

H-how're you feeling?

[alephbet]

A little better.

[technologic]

That's good... I-is there anything else I could do?

[alephbet]

I'll be okay.

[technologic]

[There's silence from her for a second, before she makes a soft sound in agreement.] ... I know. You're really strong, Aleph, s-so yeah, you'll be okay.

[alephbet]

I won't let you down. [He hopes.]

[technologic]

I believe in you, Aleph. I always have and I always will.

[alephbet]

I can't thank you enough for that.

[technologic]

A-and you don't have to. You've already done m-more than enough for me.

[alephbet]

I can still do more.

[technologic]

A-and that's why I always say that you're amazing.

[alephbet]

Thank you, not for the last time.

[technologic]

Ehe, well, I do know that I'm going to keep complimenting you no matter what.

[alephbet]

You're too kind.

[technologic]

N-n-nah. not r-really...

[alephbet]

Yes you are.
