EL CORAŹON DE EL ÁNGEL DE LA MUERTE

Author's Note:

Okay, this is an absurd fic. What if Phantom loved Alviss, yet could not voice his love in the usual way humans could? The meaning of the title is 'The Heart of the Angel of Death'. I know that it is a lousy title, but my Spanish is very limited since I learn by myself with the help of AltaVista's Babel Fish and Wikipedia. Anyone can fix the title for me?

Disclaimer: Do you see Alviss as the main character? No? You know the answer.

"When that tattoo encompasses your whole body, you will be like me…."

The pain and shock in the small boy's eyes were still etched clearly in his memory, so crystal clear that it hurt.

"…A living corpse."

Perhaps he was wrong to make Alviss suffer. Yet what was his other choice? This was the only way to grant his wish.

'Hatred. Is that the only thing you feel when you see me, Alviss-kun?'

He wished that Alviss would need him as passionate as he needed the boy. It was nothing physical, but more to the heart. Or what was left of his heart. The only thing that reminded him of the existence of his heart was his feelings toward Alviss.

'Do you hate me, Alviss-kun?'

As he lied on his bed in the darkness of his room, Phantom smiled to himself, a smile of anguish and grief.

The only person he loved was someone who hated him the most.

Irony of life seemed to love him the most. Phantom grinned at the thought, before humming a song his mother often hummed to him before he fell asleep, long ago in his lost past.

"I always see you standing behind my eyelids

Tall and proud, a warrior of light and grief

Though power I own, heart I lack

What light have I seen aside from you?

Immortality I grasp, love I do not recognize

Without a heart, I lie in the darkness

Hatred that I see in your eyes every time we meet

Is bittersweet, haunting my dreams"

'You are bittersweet, Alviss-kun.'

"Kill me now, if that's your wish

I will watch you from my side of sins

With you, I believe that 'Paradise' does exist

Claim my heart, even though it is with hatred

Let me taste that bittersweet flavour

Tainted and unfeeling, I walk through life and death

Since when do I miss the 'life' that I see

In the unreachable distance, in the flames of your eyes?

I do not belong in your world of light

Can immortals feel love?

An emotion created by humans and purity

I am everything but pure

Is it right for me to take you as my own?

Kill me now, if that's your wish

I will watch you from my side of sins

With you, I believe that 'Paradise' does exist

Claim my heart, even though it is with hatred

Let me taste that bittersweet flavour

Rain of blood, screams and tortures

There I stand, smiling in hollow satisfaction

Justice and kindness, protection and love

There you stand, embraced by light

To me, you are a bittersweet angel

Power I have, yet I am unable to reach you still

…To me, you are my bittersweet angel…

Kill me now, if that's your wish

I will watch you from my side of sins

With you, I believe that 'Paradise' does exist

Claim my heart, even though it is with hatred

Let me taste that bittersweet flavour"

"You are bittersweet…, Alviss-kun…."

With that, the number one Knight of the Chess no Koma, the living corpse that knew no love, fell into a dreamless yet bittersweet slumber.

'Keep me alive

Let me taste your bittersweet flavour….'
