[August 10th] [Saiyuki] how could I have been otherwise?
Title: how could I have been otherwise?
Day/Theme: August 10th, Way of difference
Series: Saiyuki
Character/Pairing: Homura
Rating: G
He is quite convinced that even if things had been different, even if he had been a valued son and honoured heir, he would still have realised that Heaven was a gilded sham. He would have looked around and seen the fraud, the lies, the vanities, the hypocrisy.
He gazes into nothingness with his mismatched eyes, lost in a waking dream of proud defiance and burning sincerity.
But the taint of humanity in his blood is a whispering tide that slides in and out of hearing, and each time it murmurs, you wouldn't have cared, if you had been happy.
