#against all odds and tho he exasperatedly says he doesnt know why

Anonymous said: seiroku, could you ever see yourself being friends [or in a relationship but that seems far fetched for you] with anyone? if you could choose at least one person and they'd accept who would you pick?

   “  That’s rather rude of you to just make an assumption like that.  “  Seiroku raises an eyebrow slightly with an unimpressed stare at the comment, letting silence add to the weight of his remark before he decides to actually answer what has been asked of him.

   It wasn’t that Seiroku didn’t want that connection with others. On the contrary. If they were equals, then it was feasible.. But that wasn’t in the spirit of the Obsidian Eight. Despite the claims of brotherhood - they really were all just a pack of monsters who were pursuing the same matter. Smaller groups within it perhaps, but the bonds weren’t particularly strong if he really thought about it. Especially with certain members. He’d made the efforts and for what? Nothing. Nothing, every single time. Really, he didn’t know why he tried anymore.

   “  Maybe some day, assuming I live to that point. I’m not opposed to the thought of friends or a relationship with someone. But I agree that the odds are not in my favor for either of those, one way or another.  “  He shrugs his shoulders slightly, expression calm and carefully crafted.  It was a nice thought though. Having a friend, or group of friends.. Even a partner. They weren’t such bad thoughts, although both thoughts were certainly strange contemplations when he’d only focused on a path of hatred and bloodshed. It wasn’t the sort of contemplation that came up normally.  ( Except after a few drinks, when it’d slither in like a snake to the coop. Thoughts he should cut off but couldn’t help but to observe.  )

   “  One person? How does one even choose that? I don’t know. “  He tilts his head for a moment.  “  Someone who won’t disappoint me.  “  Someone who won’t betray him.
