Only 184 words long, this is my first drabble-like work. Don’t be too harsh! I love reviews, flames too! This is written in Soubi’s point of view if you couldn’t figure out. It’s just supposed to be a short little story that expresses some of Soubi’s feelings.

Gently
By The Onigiri and Nezumi

Another cotton ball is added to the small mountain of fluffy, white balls of fiber as I reach for more gauze. I unroll a long piece of the gauze and snip the strip off. I look at the open wound, the ugly gash that was sure to leave a scar. I sometimes see myself as one of Ritsuka’s wounds, an unintentional hurt that will leave a permanent mark. I don’t mean to hurt him, I just do. I know I hurt him, but I can’t stop.

He let’s me wrap the gauze around his arm where the gash is and I try to be as gentle as possible. I don’t want to cause him more pain than I do on accident. Even though I am a scratch on Ritsuka’s heart I am also the cotton ball, the anesthetic, the gauze and the healing hands that heal his heart. So I guess I’m both pain and happiness, wound and healing.

I reach for another cotton ball to douse in anesthetic to start this process again. My thoughts start up this never ending circle once more…

Please review! Tell me you like it and I’ll probably come out with something else.
C&C is much appreciated.

Much love,
