Word Count: 447 POV: first person (tetsu)
How dare I feel abandoned? How dare I feel victimized? How dare I feel like I had been wronged, hurt, jilted, when really, I had the least problems of all of us?
Because you couldn’t just “leave” like a normal person, could you. You were never normal, not from the day we met and I had to do a double take regarding your gender to the day you said goodbye for the last time and I had to do a double take when I saw who you had at your side.
Believe me, I knew as well as, or rather, better than everyone that your marriage was failing long before it burned. Considering I was always the one you came crying to when you couldn’t stand to be in the house any more. And I was the one you came trying to seduce when you couldn’t win her over in the bedroom. And I was the one who gave in.
If you’d come to me telling me and said you were through--with me, with the band, with your wife, with music--well, I could probably have wrapped my head around it.
But when it was all of the above plus the nation of Japan; well. That went over like a blow to the head.
And when I realized sakura was waiting for you in the hallway, it went over like a second blow to the head, and I’m willing to bet it was said ex-L’Arc~en~Ciel drummer who ensured that I’d awaken from the sudden lack of consciousness lying comfortably on my couch. Since you really didn’t have it in you to carry me.
For one fleeting moment, you looked honestly worried. That was probably the last properly human emotion you showed to me. And it was gone almost as soon as I was aware enough to notice.
From there it just went cold. It was as though you took your “I am God” persona frm the stage and brought it into my living room. Let me tell you, Takarai, it wasn’t appreciated.
But maybe that was your point.
You only stayed long enough to see me cry.
But maybe that was your point, too.
America? You didn’t even speak passable English, hyde, never mind sakura’s inability to even ask directions to a train station or toilet.
America. I guess you weren’t as smart as I’d given you credit for.
After sixteen years, you walked out of my life with the same arrogance you’d had when you walked in.
Sixteen years older, sixteen years more beautiful, sixteen years thrown straight into the ocean you put between us when you got on that plane and never looked back.
The Request:
