want?
"guid me from temptation."

a bitter taste filled his mouth and his eyes watered. he bit down on his lip hard to try to suppress any chance of him breaking into tears. shiki stared down at his mother's corpse that laid in her cushioned casket, her hair placed perfectly, her eyes shut, nothing looked wrong. she was perfect.

shiki returned home and in like every cliche sad story, it was raining. the hard tapping of the rain drowned out the sound of him entering the empty mansion. it was dead silent for the maids and butlers were sent home by shiki hours before the ceremony. all were gone, all but one: serval.
his bodyguard had been there this whole time.
serval sighed "i heard what happened, im sorry."
"i don't want you to go."
"what?" the taller one asked. shiki broke down "i dont want you to go! first it was my dad, now my mom too!?". he sobbed loudly as he continued "i know you were only here because you were paid to be here but, you're all i have.". he cried louder and his glasses fell to the floor "i'll pay you!" he said desperately "i'll pay you however much you want!" he gripped onto serval. "just please." he paused.
"please don't go."
