[Asch isn't in too talkative of a mood today...

But he should be bothered by people. Because it's his birthday.]

[ stops, just barely brushing her lips against his. ] ...there really isn't anything you want for your birthday?

[scionofhispower]

... Should there be?

[fononfailure]

...I don't know. I just.. feel that I should be able to make you happy today.

[scionofhispower]

...

[fononfailure]

...I'm sorry.

[scionofhispower]

[ scrunches up against the chair, hugging her plush. ]

[scionofhispower]

It won't happen. A normal life... even something resembling one. Any time I get close, I'll just lose it again...

[fononfailure]

....does it have to be a normal life in order for it to be a pleasant one? You can hardly call my life normal, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[scionofhispower]

I wanted a family... one where we could all be happy. Where we could just have each other and not want anything more. The sort of thing I didn't get to have... But now...

Any hope of that is already gone.

[fononfailure]

......because of me, right?

[scionofhispower]

Because of everything here. Because... it wasn't what you truly wanted.

[fononfailure]

...

As long as I have you, Asch, I won't want anything else.

[scionofhispower]

...

[fononfailure]

So, please... Don't be sad.

[scionofhispower]

... [ tugs at his shirt, leaning in to kiss him lightly. ]

[scionofhispower]

[closes his eyes again]

[fononfailure]

[ sighs, burying her face against his neck. ]

[scionofhispower]

You wanted more freedom.

[fononfailure]

...maybe. But I also wanted something I shouldn't have. I can still have freedom and be with you.

[scionofhispower]

...

[fononfailure]

I don't have to give up being my own person to be with just you. I'll still be me, an individual person.

[ kisses him again, nibbling at his lip. ]
