08 | do you want me only for my body?

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.]

W-well, if I am, so are you.

[alephbet]

I'll try.

[technologic]

I think for all the time I've known you, you've been incredibly kind, so I think you'll succeed in trying.

[alephbet]

Thank you, April. [♥]

[technologic]

I-it's nothing. It is the truth, after all.

[alephbet]

But I'm still grateful.

[technologic]

I-I'm sure you hear it a lot, though!

[alephbet]

Not too often.

[technologic]

W-wha- Really?

[alephbet]

Really.

[technologic]

I-I thought you would've, especially since you're the nicest person I know.

[alephbet]

Maybe I'm just nicest to you.

[technologic]

[If she could blush right now, she would've been bright red.] You... Huh?

[And despite her mental flail moment, he gets another snuggle.]

[alephbet]

Because I love you. [:3]

[technologic]

[Cue embarrassed mumbles.] I-I-I love you too... I-I still think you're r-really nice to everyone, t-though I don't mind if you're a bit nice t-to me.

[alephbet]

Good, I'll keep being nicest to you then.

[technologic]

A-and I'll keep being nicest to you too. S-so that means you'll get way more hugs and cuddling t-than anyone else.

[alephbet]

I like that prize.
