[is that a pot of boiling holy water, because that is exactly what he expects right now

...Yet it smells... delicious? Akira sits up, looking over at him in disbelief.]

Ruler...?

The first cure to an empty mind is to fill the stomach.

[ look it's food!!! for real ]

Though, I apologize, I don't have any meat.

You're still offering me this, even after what you saw earlier... Are you sure you want to?
counterfaith: (what is it but nightfall?)

[ he wasn't even that surprised when it happened, but it would be a pain to explain that, so ]

. . . Is that Akira-san not still the same Akira-san who would mourn for me, who would spill tears for me? It seems to me, regardless of what you look like, you are still the kind Akira-san I spent that time with yesterday.

Am I wrong?

[Akira is surprised into silence, briefly.]

...You're not wrong. My body is a devil's, but my heart is human.

I guess I thought something like that would make me just the same as a demon, in the eyes of a priest.
counterfaith: (I think I know enough of hate)

"We live by faith, not by sight." Therefore, for myself, I have faith that you are good, even if your body is the thorn at your side, metaphorically speaking.

[ reaching down to pat akira's forehead, gently ]

Moreover, God does not look at your appearance, but your heart - so do not allow anyone to judge you, Akira-san, for only the Lord has that right.

[Leans into his touch a little, and offers a sad smile.]

I wish people back home would think like you do. Then, so many people wouldn't have to suffer.
counterfaith: (in your flesh have stood)

[ there is a moment where his own expression and smile breaks, sadness and empathy plain on his face - as if he personally knew someone who was hurt by this sort of thing. who knows, maybe he does - akira sure sounds familiar with it.

his eyebrows knit together and he looks troubled, frustrated, as he speaks slowly ]

. . . It is. . . unfortunate, that fear grips people more than love does. If such were not the case, then surely, this world would be a kinder place. . .

[ softly, as he strokes his hair; it's almost like he's not speaking of akira's situation, but an entirely different one, his gaze isn't trained on him but looking far, far away ]

We can only hope. . . I can only pray. That someday, they will see and judge you for your kindness, and not for your horns.
lacrimose: crying (002)

If people always see me as an enemy, I've chosen to live with that. But there are others like me, who didn't choose it.

[Akira thinks of the other Devilmen out there that he's seen hurt or even killed, who haven't been lucky enough to receive even this much kindness. He tears up, and leans forward to rests his head against Ruler's shoulder, seeking out the comfort.]

... Even with this body, I can't save everyone.
counterfaith: (to know they dreamed and are dead;)

[personal profile] counterfaith 2018-03-02 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ very gently pressing against the back of akira's head, encouraging the closeness, and he pets his hair a bit more. his gaze incidentally falls upon one of the higher benches of the bleachers - it isn't that his expression is cold, so much as it is lifeless; he's been in this hell before, he's been in this hell for decades. ]

. . . It's frustrating. . . isn't it?

[ he closes his eyes. ]

But, hold fast to that frustration, and do not give into that despair, Akira-san. Surely, if your wish is strong enough, it can be granted. Even after death, it can be granted.

After death...?

[Akira pulls back, still teary, but now looking at him in confusion. He doesn't have any plans to die any time soon, but he's come close to it enough for him to want to ask.]
counterfaith: (somewhere ages and ages hence:)

[personal profile] counterfaith 2018-03-02 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he shifts, looking to akira and giving him a smi~le. ]

God will grant a miracle, I am sure. I believe in that.

[ even if that miracle is in summoning akira as a Servant in a grail war so he can fight for all devilmen, ]
lacrimose: (003)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-03-02 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[he'd fight for humanity AND devilmen!! because clearly just wanting to save one or the other just isn't enough]

... I want to believe that, too.

[he might not be religious like his adopted family, but a miracle is still something he'd choose to believe in.]
counterfaith: (fin.)

[personal profile] counterfaith 2018-03-02 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he's pulling out a hankerchief, to dab at akira's eyes again ]

Mm. I believe, and pray, with you.

[ crybaby devilboy... ]
lacrimose: devilman (061)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-03-02 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[He says it softly, sitting up a little straighter as Ruler dabs at his eyes, mustering his resolve. He does feel better, comforted, knowing there's someone who cares just as much as he does.]

We should eat. It'd be a waste, if we let your food go cold.
counterfaith: (they comfort me.)

[personal profile] counterfaith 2018-03-02 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he cares so much,

With a smile, as he moves to bring the pot closer ]

Then, if you'd like the first bite - unfortunately, I didn't bring any separate bowls, since it seemed like there wouldn't be much use for them, but I did bring utensils, at least.
