It was once again the day of the Full Moon. While more people were aware that he was a wolf, Faolan was used to spending that day in wolf form. It was, in many ways, a welcome break.

He pawed his way out of the house to go about his normal routine, reading the bulletin board, running around the market, and chasing butterflies, rabbits, and squirrels.

"And what I am meant to see when all you're showing is just how badly you want to be what they all see you as right now?" Shin returned, turning a touch in substantial so that Sasuke's hands went through him.

[bondsoflove]

"Don't fucking tell me what I want!"

Frustrated that he couldn't land a hit, Sasuke tried a wheel kick. Words weren't working; fists didn't seem to be either, but it was more satisfying than trying to keep himself coherent.

[yumemi_no_ou]

"Then start fucking making sense!"

Kick all you want, Sasuke, Shin's as good as made of air now. Though he's tempted to be a wall for Sasuke to break his hand against.

[bondsoflove]

"YOU start making fucking sense!"

His chest heaved--every hit he didn't land made him angrier. He wanted to spit, claw, hurt something, and like his dream, Shin was stealing it from him.

After a few more non-hits, he gave a frustrated howl and fisted his hands in his hair, pulling sharply to try to alleviate some of the mounting pressure. His eyes stung and his skin crawled and he felt like he was about to explode, any second, but it kept building and building and pushing and pushing.

[yumemi_no_ou]

Shin backed up, eying Sasuke warily. In a dream, anything could happen with enough force of will...

Not that he was worried, mind you. Just... concerned.

[bondsoflove]

Backing away like he was a rabid fucking animal.

"What? Scared? I thought this was your fucking domain. I thought you could do whatever the fuck you wanted here. Or do you just like pissing me off?" He dropped his hands and stepped forward, closing the distance again. "Do you get off on watching me scream or something?"

[yumemi_no_ou]

"Like I want to stand near to you when you look like you're about to explode," Shin retorted, scowling.

[bondsoflove]

"And whose fault is that?"

He laughed--a violent, unpleasant sound that wrenched itself from his throat like sobs. "What's so threatening about my dreams that you can't just let me be, huh? Do they seep into your mind while you're sleeping? Can't handle a little blood? Weak."

[yumemi_no_ou]

"I can feel them like a splinter," Shin scowled. "And I thought you'd want to be rid of that sort of dream, what sort of nutbag wants to have a nightmare if they don't have to, huh?"

[bondsoflove]

It would have made him madder if it weren't so absurd.

"I told you," Sasuke said, voice deceptively smooth. "It's how I cope. If you take it away from me, I can't cope anymore. Are you as stupid as you sound, or just that goddamn stubborn?"

[yumemi_no_ou]

"Like there was any way for me to fucking know that before hand! And it's still fucking stupid! How the hell is it coping to roll around in that?!"

[bondsoflove]

"I've told you at least a dozen times, moron," Sasuke snapped, lip curling back to bare his teeth. "If you don't get it, you won't get it, and I don't understand why you're insisting on being right about my brain and my feelings."

[yumemi_no_ou]

"Yeah, no. All you go on about is the spirits of the dead hating you. That's not coping, that's the same wallowing bullshit you accuse me of."

And that was the root of it, wasn't it? There was something to prove. Sasuke had looked down on him and pissed him off.

[bondsoflove]

"It doesn't count as wallowing when you're fucking unconscious."

It wasn't the same at all. Sasuke moved during the daylight hours, Sasuke took his pain and made something of himself with it, and if the price for that was horrors at night, he'd gladly pay it a million times over. "Don't compare me to the likes of you."

[yumemi_no_ou]

"Likewise," Shin returned, glaring. "And it fucking counts if you cling to it like a fucking blanket."

[bondsoflove]

Sasuke bit the inside of his cheek until he tasted blood and glared as much fire into Shin's face as he could muster.

"You have a problem with me functioning?" he snarled. "Why does it fucking matter to you what keeps me going? At least I go, instead of just watching everyone else and playing a fucking tough guy in my sleep."

[yumemi_no_ou]

"So sorry that I can't walk after being shoved back into a broken shell of a body," Shin shot back.

[bondsoflove]

"So literal. I talk about you wallowing, I must be insulting your legs. I have a nightmare, I must not want it. I hate short-sighted fuckers." He hands shook, balled into fists at his sides.

[yumemi_no_ou]

"You get on my ass about not going anywhere because I physically can't and what the hell else am I supposed to think?"

[bondsoflove]

"I'm beginning to think you're deaf." He didn't know why he couldn't give up--he should have just left, walked away, ignored the guy and let him feel superior. But that irked him. Hard. He was right. "I never said shit about your physical capabilities. I just said you take me too fucking literally, you dunce."

[yumemi_no_ou]

"Bullshit. You keep acting like I should be able to just shake it off and not be in pain all goddamned day like it's my fault that I'm stuck in a goddamned chair. If I'm deaf then you're blind!"
