Summary
He had always felt wrong growing up. Basen acted with emotions he didn’t understand or feel, ones adults tried to explain but never made sense. Perhaps it was why his desire for possession, his single minded obsession for what was his, was so strong. As if to compensate for those other feelings he lacked. Why when what was his was removed from him all that mattered was that he got it back or that it died so that no one else might steal it once more.
It didn’t make him stupid however, he knew a man like him had no place on a jade throne if that meant he had to hide away as some sparkly flirty eunuch to ensure his brothers heir so be it. The emotions were non stop and constant among his flowers but to Zuigetsu, well Jinshi now, the only thing he felt day in and out was disgust.
Until he saw her, a girl with same look in her eyes as him.
That cloying nothing that wracked his heart held a hold on hers too. Until it didn’t, until he had decided she was now his, something he would wait for her to mirror even if it meant dealing with the obstinate fools that thought her lesser.
He would make them all pay for every single slight, brushed shoulder, too long a gaze, and heaven forbid her tears too.
