Stage I: Pride, Ego

[cicer]

Title: Ego
Fandom: Weiss Kreuz
Pairing: Crawford/Schuldig
Wordcount: 258
Notes: For stagesoflove round three, the seven deadly sins.



Crawford was a man who took pride in his work, and in his abilities and accomplishments. He knew that he had power, much more power than so many others could ever dream of. He enjoyed the control that his abilities afforded him and he exploited that imbalance of power at every opportunity. He took pleasure in every vision of destruction to come and savored each moment of killing when it finally arrived. When he looked down at his enemy, when he held their lives in his hands, he enjoyed the rush of power and the knowledge that in that moment he held complete control. His decision, his very whims would dictate whether someone lived or died. It was a heady feeling, one he did not hesitate to thoroughly enjoy.

Crawford liked to feel this control in every aspect of his life. When he wasn’t using his abilities to end the lives of others, he liked to exert his control over his teammates. He made Nagi write and rewrite reports just to revel in the sense of power. He would secure Farfarello in his straightjacket in his cell for the same reason, to know that he was the one in control of when Farfarello would get out. He knew that in that moment Farfarello hated him most because he was god.

But his favorite thing was to tie Schuldig down and ravish him until he screamed, until he begged, until Crawford could drown in the glorious feelings of power and control.

Crawford reveled in the knowledge of his power.

Thank you so much! Heh. I wondered if the "god" comparison was a little heavy handed, but I liked it so I left it in. Glad it worked for you. And yes! Crawford and Schuldig, together again! Yay! Thanks again. :)
