(February 9th) (Saiyuki) looking into the abyss
Title: looking into the abyss
Day/Theme: February 9 - "Yet let me kiss my lord before I die"
Series: Saiyuki
Character/Pairing: Nii, Kami-sama
Rating: G
Nii poked through the rubble of Kami-sama's castle, and wondered why the boy hadn't fled.
Oh, he understood it well enough on an intellectual level. He'd forged chains on the boy's heart that couldn't be broken. He'd tamed the boy's will and given him toys.
The emotion in the boy's eyes, as he'd looked up at Nii, was a crude sort of thing. It was as if the boy had believed in Nii even when he hadn't believed in God.
The hollow echo-chamber of Nii's heart points out that God does not exist.
And sometimes he wonders whether he does.
