Ah, apparently, it had been premature to leave previous clinging affection … In the moment he listened that first sentence escaping Rand lips, slight temptation to offering another hug crossed around his gaze, though it remained this time at single idea germing in his brain. Previous clear words exposed as DO NOT TOUCH ME he had been expressing quite couple of minutes prior hadn't been forgotten, where he had regardless pushed the crossing line until he was pretty much certain reassurance were on both side --- when he still remained unsure of the comforting message inside his hug did reach him the first time. As much he was bad-mannered enough for considering an negative answer like an authorization … current outworld patient his thoughts focused over an useful aid making him reconsiderating that approach since he cannot force an metaphoric dragon who forgot Game Master basics to managing to do things right or searching to convince him of something he didn't have all realization of extanding his perspective … or having an tutor standing in front of his disagreement and his ambitions he would take that negative answer … besides to had never forced Potter to do something, as much he complained. It not supposed to be that way, about that ? About him rightfully making him scare another student where normal reaction was to expressing fully his fear in front of his face ? About how circumstances from three years ago had to tourment him when he wanted forget it ? About him imagining he was some scary presence ? He had been deal with the Dark Lord for one complete year, had been close to his side, had been trapped with the consciousness of that decay in middle of his house, associated to couple of wizards in black scaring on their own manners … He had been so much terrified of them he had been somewhere grateful he knew other men in black, really horrifying, that little fragment of underground inside the physical world, could giving them an horrible impression of that experienced fear. Near to Philip Butler or Rand al'Thor, he would feeling safe with Rand al'Thor, without hesitation. Following sentence was amusing for him. ��� It's more my domain than yours : spread fear. ❞ He simply confessed with gentleness tone fullfilled of playfulness.
He pretty much had been clear with that earlier on their conversation towards the Dark One. That villain could try to intimidate him --- he was going to torture him to death. If he couldn't playing around with the corruption of the One Power as another of his toys, dissolving all the legitimacy of the Dark One within his own hands --- he could be the supporting witch standing there, inviting him to reconsidering everything and get dissuaded over every little piece of ambition he might have. Besides, he was curious about how much he could be far more scary than their boss in front of poor remnant of Death Eaters. He was curious how much he could have fun to showing how an horrible sadistic he could be. If the Ministry wasn't that much an thorn with him, he was certain Death Eaters would tell everything they knew afterwards had passed with his personal care --- they would even preferring an Dementor than him and possible nice things he could do to them in remembrance about how nice and pleasant the Underground could be. Watching over Rand eyes, he didn't appreciated the sensation he had been understanding. ❝ Attack someone would automatically creating fear on the victim, that doesn't making you some villain. ❞ He was mostly fullfilling that role, nevertheless, was another type of villain. An villain who had never wanted to be one (even since previous timeline where he had been forced into that box … and hadn't be flattered to expressing redemption during that time), who had been created within circumstances because of other villains actions, hence, naturally, as a vengeful boy, was the antagonist of villains but without some pleasant hero perspective. No second chance, no redemption, no compassion --- just his pure energy of destruction. Within despair inside his friend's eyes, for one tiny second, there was an second understanding. Possibly some misunderstanding imposed inside Rand's mind, considering clean the One Power would came with immediate consequences … but by the moment he expressed about it, he had an perspective about how the One Power was going to be. He needed reassurance over that point. ❝ Magic without madness concerning the One Power, it's what we have mutually agree … and if necessary, I become in last resort this madness. ❞ One second of silence followed. ❝ Rand. ❞ Rarely, he acknowledged someone else name. Even Potter --- only sometimes wanting so hardly misnamed him as Phantomhive, but was totally aware the poor concerned would want to reduce to mush for unwanted reminder. ❝ During the entire previous year, you are the only person I feel safe with. Do you think I'm afraid of you if I'm ready to silence the voice of the Dark One directly in your head? ❞ He won't be sorry to be an condescending asshole in front of the such higher spheres. He would maybe wish the Dark One will appreciating his condescendance and sensing the trouble. He might never had perceived the God of the Underground face or presence for the time being, he could make a villain understand that he was in trouble with same energy !
Only time he truly had been feeling scared by Rand had been seconds three years ago. Second between the moment he had expressed something who triggered that aggressive reaction, and the instant realization his hands had been on his throat … Claude recollections weren't coming directly from Rand, but the memory itself. Since he had been considering it had been the Dark One move instead of him, he couldn't blame the manipulated puppet. ❝ I never had been an nuisance to you so you never see how intimidating I can by moments. ❞ Rand had been spared to perceiving him tourmenting people just for his entertainment. Compared to how single Philip Butler presence turned him, he was still far away to showing dangerouness by existing but well --- in some manners, he was around dangerous people. He preferred supporting them than be offended by their existence --- like the Dark Lord … Possibly the Dark One at some point if that entity decided to annoy him too much ! ❝ I don't want further problems on my list. It's selfish of me, true, however, him expressing how he had been temporary scared is enough. ❞ Remembrances weren't ready to be thought again. I had wanted to kill you. That sentence, that reminder, triggered a short silence. ❝ I did well to be there when you brutalized the other student, nevertheless the intention was only mental compared to how you showed it to me. ❞ He didn't wanted to talk about it, it was how that sentence was expressed inside calmness of his voice. They never spoke about it again, there was consciousness about that, when he checked if there was no one around. ❝ Listen, if at the time, I had let you suffer the immediate consequences of your action towards me --- Potter would surely have yelled at you and would have shown something very naughty which would undoubtedly have made me happy, and my father would have simply killed you for daring to hurt his beloved son. I also told you straigth away : you would have suffered, you would have fought to receive my forgiveness, you would have been a victim of my anger. What the Dark One will suffer. Which you, as wonderful, gentle-hearted person that you are, absolutely don't deserve. Endless torture, in the same way that you suffer incessantly with awareness of this power, without knowing when the pain will stop, when consideration will be taken that payment has been made, is not something you would recommend to someone. This is what the Dark Lord will suffer. Besides, way in which I forgave you, that I do not blame you, is expression of compassion. This still bothers you, doesn't it, that you tried to kill me ? ❞
He might refuse to do therapy for himself … but he was prepared on the path of other side. Hence, natural question concerning his refusal to having occassion to heal generated another particular moment of thoughtfulness and silence, associated to some hesitation. ❝ To talk about it would be to admit that it happened. ❞ He confessed slowly. ❝ I prefer to drown in deep denial. I prefer to tell myself that nothing happened, that none of the horrors that I suffered, that all these abuses that I have accumulated throughout my life, that never existed, that never happened - -- while being fully aware of how much it shattered me. Rewriting my own reality is something I can do to ease my conscience, to prevent myself from facing all these horrors head on --- an additional illusion that suits me well. ❞ Only, there was consciousness everything he was searching to create was an complete delusion. He was aware about how serious his emotional state was. He was aware of the truth. Slight moment of paradox, for seconds he exposed himself, mentally annoyed him. Coincidence of circumstances pushed him to partially deal with it --- because no, he couldn't lie to Rand. Another short silence followed, as his gaze watching over him, unsure about what to tell. It had been since he was fourteen years old that he hadn't stopped suffering, and this suffering was not likely to go away suddenly. ❝ My actual emotional state is serious. ❞ He admitted slowly. ❝ This has been the case for several years now, but I found painkillers while having fun, trying to keep footing as I sank … you can help me, I only warn you that it will be much easier for me to do it with you than you with me. I forget the taste of happiness. When I tried hard to want to live believing that life would undoubtedly spare me and when I was brought back dramatically to same tragic point, everything I tried in vain to feel legitimate disappeared little by little. If I want so much for this year to go well, it's to have a tiny faith in a right to feel something other than suffering. I can give you right to happiness, but I need to rediscover it. ❞
˜”*°•. It was difficult to think about it . To think that people could be afraid of him - wasn’t it so with the villains ? Weren’t people scared of the monsters ? He didn’t want to become this . He didn’t want to be a person that people feared , couldn’t trust . He didn’t want to end up being alone just because he couldn’t be controlled . ❝ It’s not supposed to be this way . ❞ Were the words to escape his lips - quiet , almost ashamed . ❝ I shouldn’t be spreading fear . ❞ He was just a Hogwarts student , a rather average student that used to hang out with his friends , go for walks , skip classes . He was not the Dark Lord , he was not some big villain . Then why did he feel exactly like that ? ❝ Are you afraid of me ? The truth . ❞ He turned his gaze to the other - the despair burning behind his eyes . They were going to clean the source , they were going to stop this . But what about the time till then ? What about the damage that’d already been done ? What about the life after Hogwarts ? If there was simply a way to take this away from him , to numb this One Power and never be able to use it again . But the mere thought hurt him physically. The mere possibility of letting it go , physically torturing him . He’d spent years battling against it , years being afraid he was going to go mad , years feeling the power fighting against his fingertips , what was he going to be without it ? For quite honestly, he couldn’t remember himself before it .
❝ If he wants to tell someone, you should let him . ❞ He finally said . Sure , he’d stayed with Draco , when he’d attacked him , sure he’d tried to reassure him . But was he even alright ? Had he healed or was this a burden he was going to carry forever ? He was done hurting people , be it mentally or physically . So if Draco or this boy wanted to talk about it , to inform someone, they shouldn’t be stopped . Tom Riddle had possibly gone mad trying to do what he thought it was right ; he was not going to become him . Not when the more unstable he got , the more powerful he felt himself growing . ❝ I had wanted to kill you . And I wanted to kill this boy too . I don’t care about the consequences . If he wants to tell his parents or a professor … it’s fine . ❞ And he meant it . If it was time he did face a punishment, then so be it . How worse would it be than the guilt he was already drowning in ?
At the other’s words , he simply nodded . He could understand . The years that’d passed had been intense , unforgiving . They’d taken people with them , classmates and professors killed , it was expected to find it difficult to heal . At the same time , there came the guilt as well ; Draco’s role in this war more than just considerable . But it hadn’t been his fault - this was what he hoped the boy knew . The fact the Dark Lord had resided in his house , making it his haven for psychotic Death Eaters, the fact they’d forced him into this sick game had not been his fault . ❝ Why did you refuse ? ❞ The therapy . Having someone to listen to you was the greatest gift one could have asked for . Having someone to guide you , to support you was the greatest sense of security . So , why would he reject it ? Except if he thought he didn’t deserve it …. ❝ I want to help you . You are the last person that should be suffering now . Especially after what happened . ❞ Especially after a summer full of trials and uncertainty . ❝ You should be able to be happy . ❞
