Raise the Mask: Dark Manifestation reaches Critical Mass [Closed]

Snopy listened, word after word went into his mind. However, his tears slowly subsided. After a moment a stoic look. Slowly his look further changed into a rather un-amused look. He knew he cried a lot when it came to her, but it was the only time he did cry. His greatest fear was losing her, and it was the one thing that could get to him. Yet there was something he noticed as well. As she finished, he chuckled. His laugh slowly became louder and louder. Eventually he sounded rather maniacal. I don't know what you went through? YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH WHILE I WAS IN THERE! Yet you criticize me when I get a little emotional that you would just leave like that? That is too funny. His voice was dead serious at this point and quite mad.

I cried only because I was tired and my mind has been worn by the events of today. After the last time I did indeed man up. Yet I go though the fight of my life within my mind. I get beaten to all living hell fighting a hollow within me. You go through the fight of your life, getting nearly thrashed to death, from which I can tell by your motions and body the severity of your injuries, while fighting my hollowfying body. You'd think that when our battles were over we could at the very least, for that is what one would expect in a relationship, be there for each other. I was perfectly prepared to show you that much, for it is part of my job as your boyfriend to be there for you, and I desired to be with you. However, I hardly received the same sentiment. It is a bit distressful when the one person I expected to be there for me simply says, "Don't touch me." After what I just went through, I don't think I can really be blamed for tearing up like I did when my own girlfriend looked at me like some monster. Oh, and by the way, I never said you didn't have reason to be scared. That doesn't change the fact that you seemed to think I was now some monster.

And, come to think of it, I always seem to be busting my ass for you. Every interaction I do with you is generally to make you happy. All I want is for you to be happy...but to be blunt, do you even give a fuck? Do my efforts even mean anything to you? I know you care but...I feel like I do ALL of the work. I'm not saying NOW I want it, but I just wish I had a bit more from you. Finally, I don't know exactly how strong I had become, but I guarantee you I am no longer capable of such feats. The being that was capable of such a feat I cleaved clean in two, so it is not going to be repeating it. It is quite subdued at the moment, and I know for a FACT that it isn't trying again any time soon. Snopy let out a sigh. His voice calmed down to a normal tone. Well, I suppose we both had something pent up...I wasn't even aware I felt that way until now. Don't get me wrong, I love you with all my heart, but you are one of the biggest pains in my ass I have ever had to deal with. Neither of us are perfect. I'm sure I get on your nerves a lot, and I apologize. Snopy laughed a bit as he said the last statement. Anger wasn't really natural for him, so he chilled out quickly. After this though, he probably wouldn't cry often either. I also apologize for crying, it was a moment of weakness. Next time, feel free to slap me across the face. He laughed some more, but it was obvious he was serious. He was kinda tired of his own bullshit himself, and he was aware it was indeed bullshit.

Snopy calmly listened to her outburst and nodded his head. When he was sure she was done he spoke calmly, yet kindly. Being in a relationship isn't a job, and when I spoke I did not mean to make it come off as such. All I was saying was, as your boyfriend, I want to keep you happy. Yet it appears I am failing as of current. As for what I said before...I...I'm sorry, that outburst was uncalled for. I shouldn't have said it was funny. I am not perfect, even I can lose my composure when distressed. I hope you can forgive me, I was out of line. And...I guess I only said what I said because sometimes it feels like you are keeping me at a distance. I just always wished you would let me in a little more I guess. That is all really. I'm...sorry, I really shouldn't have said what I said. It was uncalled for...and...I guess I was angry. I was always just happy being with you, and being close to you. I really shouldn't have complained about anything. Snopy walked over to Kanna as best he could and stood directly in front of her.

I am a monster? I just want you to look at me Kanna. Look into my face. Tell me something, what makes the person. Is it their race and blood that makes them? Or is it what someone chooses to do with the gift we call life? My mind does not have any of the traits of the hollow we spent our lives hunting. It is clear as ever. So am I a monster truly a monster Kanna? I who have never harmed an innocent soul? I who have no plans on causing any innocent person harm? I want you to look deep into your heart and ask yourself something. "Is the Snopy I know truly a monster?" Snopy stood in front of her, he stared deeply into her eyes. He truly wanted her to look deep down. He knew he wasn't a monster, and he hoped that she would realize that. He now awaited to hear her response to all he had said.

Snopy listened to her speak. He let off a sigh as she turned away and would not look at him. You're doing it right now. You turn away, and my words don't seem to reach you. To some extent I understand what might be going on. I believe you can't see anything but the monster that nearly killed you today. As I said, I can't say I blame you. What I want to know is, "Is your trust in me completely destroyed, damaged, or is it still there?" You want to know how you can let me in, then you can start now. With those words Snopy moved in. He gently, but firmly, wrapped his arms around her. He brought her in close, in a comforting, yet loving, way. He turned her head towards him and leaned in, pressing his lips against hers gently, if she allowed.

After a few moments he would break the kiss, yet still hold her there. Do you think I am lying Kanna? About everything I have been saying? Please, I want you to try as hard as you can. Try to see me as you did before. Not as some monster trying to kill you, but as your boyfriend who loves you with all his heart. Right now that is how I feel. I enjoy being with you, being close to you, which is why I am trying so hard. All I want from you is you. I only really desire one thing from you, and that is your affection. I realize now, if you can give that to me, I'll have all I want from you. Snopy was hopelessly in love. No matter what she said at this point would not deter him. He would not give up. As he had decided previously, he would give it his all in order to keep her, and he was going to keep her.

I don't mean to patronize, I don't mean to treat you like you're stupid. Snopy took a deep breath. I've been sitting here arguing with you because I was worried I'd lose you. The more I think about it...the more idiotic this whole thing sounds. You still love me, and I should never have doubted that. Everything that happened here is just a lot to take in. Both of us are tired, exhausted, and have a bit too much on our minds. I, for one, know that exhaustion has clouded my judgement. This is something we're just going to have to give our minds time to process. Snopy limped out of the way so he was no longer blocking the exit.

Go and take some time to think. We both need to at least rest before we can really deal with each other properly. Don't worry about my injuries, I actually have something for just the occasion. Snopy pulled out a small red triangular object from one of his pockets. This is a healing gem made by the Iramasha. I'll be able to deal with my own injuries, just worry about yourself for awhile. Also. Snopy reached into another pocket and pulled out a small tear shaped crystal. He held it out and placed it in Kanna's hand. This gem is a telepathic gem. With this you will be able to communicate with me telepathically, as I have one for myself. You use your mind to do everything, just think when you want to talk to me. When you have taken the time you need to gather your thoughts, come see me or use this to talk with me. Snopy took a moment to think. Well I think that is everything. Snopy waited for her to go. He was unsure exactly what he would do after she left, though healing himself was on the top of his list. He'd probably rest and recuperate once he healed up.
