Please, let him be soft.

I know you made him
with gunmetal bones
and wolf's teeth.
I know you made him to be
a warrior
a soldier
a hero.

But even gunmetal can warp
and even wolf's teeth can dull
and I do not want to see him break
the way old and worn and overused things do.

I do not want to see him go up in flames
the way all heroes end up martyrs.

I know that you will tell me
that the world needs him.
The world needs his heart
and his faith
and his courage
and his strength
and his bones and his teeth and his blood and his voice and his–
The world needs anything he will give them.

In which your anime protag best friend is tired of being weak. So he decides to become really fucking strong instead. And you're just dragged along for the ride, because what kind of a best friend would you be if you didn't kick his ass whenever he's being a dumb fucking idiot? Also to make sure he stays alive, which is the way you like him best, thank you very much

Or; heavy is the head that wears the crown.

But that does not mean he has to bear the burdens alone.

Damn the world,
and damn you too.
Damn anyone that ever asked anything of him,
damn anyone that ever took anything from him,
damn anyone that ever prayed to his name.
You know that he will give them everything
until there is nothing left of him
but the imprint of dust
where his feet once trod.
You know that he will bear the world like Atlas
until his shoulders collapse
and his knees buckle
and he is crushed by all he used to carry.

Dear God,
you have already made an Atlas.
You have already made an Achilles and an Icarus and a Hercules.
You have already made so many heroes,
and you can make another again.
You can have your pick of heroes.

So please, I beg you–

he is all that I have,
and you have so many heroes
and the world has so many more.

Let him be soft,
and let him be mine.

—Please, let him be happy (j.p)
