Yeah. I told you about the war being fought back home, right? The Church and the Black Order of Exorcists against the Millennium Earl, the Noah, and their akuma?
Since Noah are the memories passed down or implanted... pretty much anyone can become one. Once those memories stat to wake, the host's will eventually be eaten away and subsumed...
The Order... really didn't like that one of their Exorcists turned out to have such a thing inside him.
They can hold hands for now, sure. It'll make up for the fact that Rin can't give Allen a big hug right now.]
Yeah, that sounds about right. Either you're a useful weapon, or you're a threat to be destroyed.
[He really wanted to be a useful weapon.]
I thought I'd have longer than this, but I guess 16 is the magic number for me. Hopefully you get enough time to figure out how to stop the process in you though.
[Allen was the most useful weapon. very unfortunate.]
Maybe. Before coming here, I've already lost control of my body to him a couple of times. The last time--it took me relying on a concept that I know... from how akuma are made... to get me back. Even then, my grip on myself was. Pretty shaky.
I've been wondering, this whole time, if they'd pull something like this.
[literally since Day 0 in this place, just that Fear.]
[They're still holding hands so Rin will try to tug Allen a little closer to the bars. He wants to press their foreheads together.]
It fucking sucks. Even if you don't have a lot of time left, I don't want you to spend that time getting caught up in murders and executions. You should be able to be happy.
[he doesn't resist the pull, but ah... "should" like "deserve" is a very complicated thing for Allen Walker. happiness is such a strange, elusive thing.]
If that's what you want, then I'd better get letters from you on the other side. None of this giving up talk, right?
Nah, I think I have all the bad luck this week. We barely had any time to build a fort together. It just felt wrong, to let you go on thinking that nobody like likes you.
The situation's upsetting, not what you're saying.
... I just don't really understand it.
[why would anyone...? was his thought then, and it's still his thought now, but that would take much too much time to deal with and Rin... doesn't have that time anymore, probably.]
[They really don't have time to figure it out. They can just 'be' for a little bit of time.]
You don't have to understand it now. I'm sure you'll get it someday, when you stop putting yourself down so much. You're really special, Allen. People are going to like you. You're not as unpopular as you think you are.

Rowan licks at Rinkou's nose and head, whatever she can reach, but Allen's looking around at the cell, just... taking stock, really.]
Probably, they have something in place so no break-outs could happen... they had something like that when the Order had me locked up, anyway.

So I get SOME freedom here. It'd suck if I couldn't reach people.
But...you've been locked up too?

Kinda wish they'd had it done to me, instead.

He's not letting go of Allen's hand, by the way. His hand now.]

I'm really gonna miss spoiling you with food. And I think this week is the best I've slept in a long time.

And if all else fails, if the Watchers can listen to your requests, just bully them a little about treating me nicely.

no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 05:12 am (UTC)Oh.
[A pause.]
I guess? I was just mostly curious, I wasn't trying to be coy or anything there. I just wanted to see you get flustered because it's kinda cute.
[Hilariously unlocking the 'All Demons are Pansexual' demonic part of your soul makes you a little more accepting to these things.]

...the hand not holding Allen's is giving a thumbs-up. And the hand that is holding Allen's will shift to lace their fingers together.]

Date: 2021-10-24 06:10 am (UTC)I should hope not. You already have enough on your plate without additional punishments.
