Yuji and His Beloved’s (chapter 2)

[TW: child abuse, cannibalistic ideation, etc]

She hits him. Again, he made a mistake.

She’s been training him relentlessly the past few weeks.

Drilling in him silence, determination, resilience and obedience.

She’s teaching him, as of right now, how to fight. (Yuji is salivating at her blood and bones, he doesn’t know why.)

Cold and ruthless. She used to at least be humorous and sardonic before.

Ever since the Welds came, she had become entirely serious and strict, he wishes to know why, when he tries to get closer, she hisses and tells him he’s too young.

Young.

Yuji wonders how it would be like to be 70. To be 80. To be 90. 100. Must be filled with so much wisdom, knowledge and experience. He, curious little him, always felt envious.

Yuji coughs blood. Ugh.

His mother just seems irritated, “Yuji!”

“Why are you never paying attention?!”

I am. There’s just a lot on my mind.

He doesn’t say that though. “Whenever I do, you get mad at me for asking too many questions.”

She scowls, as if he had just asked such a stupid, stupid, annoying question.

*“*Of course I do, ask what benefits you, and do not focus on insignificant details and matters.”

Huh. What benefits me? And what doesn’t? Okay mama. Sounds like interesting life advice.

He nods. “Okay, mama.”

She hisses, almost like a snake.
“Stop calling me mama! You stupid child. You’re not a child anymore, you got it? So stop behaving like one.” Her voice was final, decisive and unwavering.

Yuji would say her words were contradictory. But okay.

Yuji loves staring at his mama.

Yuji just licks his lips. It’s covered with blood. Delicious.

“Meow.”

She sighs, again, she does. This is getting really repetitive.

Hi mum.

Hi son.

She hugs him with tears in her eyes, bitting her lips. He didn’t know she was capable of sadness or crying. Huh. I guess you learn something new everyday.

“Mum, I love you.” She bites his lower arm as an “I love you too”.

“Thanks, mum.”

Today, was the day, in which his mama informed him of what he, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala forbid, was to become.

And he now learned he’s going to have to wear eye lenses for the rest of his time. Sounds cool!

Yuji was always a curious kid, he drew a lot, stared at things for a really long time, and asked a lot of questions.

Too many questions, in fact.

“Monsters” AKA Beluas, Pelmatoes and Therions make up 0.001% of humanity.

“Yuji, I……… I……” the words are on her tongue, but not lips. She’s too much of a tsundere to openly say them.

“Love you?” She bites her lips, and nods.

“I love you too, mama!” He rushed to hug her, he just pats him.

His mama’s cooking was always really bad, if nothing else, if he leaves, he have escaped from eating burnt, disgusting food! Alhamdulilah.
