...I don't want him to be like the mean Luke.

[scionofhispower]

Once you get to know him, you'll realize he's not mean, Asch. The two of you just got off on the wrong foot; I'm sure you'll be able to get along.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

But I don't want to share you...

[scionofhispower]

Asch...

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I finally found someone I like... It's not fair I have to share...

[scionofhispower]

I'm sorry... but I'm not going to love you any less than I do now, Asch; I promise. And you can still always come to me, no matter what and no matter when. I'll always have time for you, and we can always do things together.

...I don't want to.

[scionofhispower]

[rubs his back lightly] Asch...

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

[pulls away from him, looking away]

[scionofhispower]

Asch, look at me.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head] ...I don't want to...

[scionofhispower]

What's wrong?

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

I don't like you.

...I'm going to go away. I-I'll just be by myself, I can take care of myself just fine on my own... [starts shaking very slightly, eyes clenched shut]

[scionofhispower]

Asch... we don't want you to go away.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Yes you do...

[scionofhispower]

No, we don't. Luke and I both want you to stay with us.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

But you have that Luke... You don't need me.

[scionofhispower]

[sets him down and kneels before him, looking right into his eyes] You are both my sons, and I will always, always love you both with all my heart. No matter what happens, that will never change. And I will never, ever get rid of you, do you hear me?

...But I don't want to share...

[scionofhispower]

We're all family, Asch. I know it's going to take some time to get used to...

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Why can't you just make him go away? He's bigger than me, he can be on his own. His Asch doesn't want him to live with us anyway... He told me himself.

[scionofhispower]

Do me a favor and think for a moment how it felt when you thought that Mother and Father had gotten rid of you.
