TW: drowning


[Such a simple thing, breathing. It's among the first sound one hears in life, heartbeats, and blood rushing, the breath of your mother while you curl below her heart. This is like that time, floating, yes, but anchored. There is a weight, gentle, firm, but it doesn't pain you.

The light is beautiful, little fractured webs of brightness and shadow. The world is grey-white and blue, and all you can hear is the water rushing like blood and your own breath. You are weightless, cold, but unconcerned, and sleepy.

A simple dream, an easy dream, of sleeping, floating underwater. What could be more innocent?]

I am so late have all my sorries

Fai. Wake up, kid.

[While the overall feeling of the dream was peaceful, he had a very hard time watching it given what had happened just before Yuui's return. That peace, that...almost a sense of longing bothered him more than he was ready to admit to anyone. Because it seemed nothing had been fixed, after all, even with his twin's return. And that hurt a hell of a lot more than it should have.]

[He goes to him, sits down quietly at the side of his bed, can't quite bring himself to wake him up yet. His heart feels small and hard and cold. In his mind, the clear cold waters surround him as he reaches out, caresses the crystal coffin in front of him, willing himself to think that he's touching Fai's face. He knows Chi is waiting for him, calm but uncomprehending, the mind he fashioned for her as always open and childlike.

He doesn't need to breathe. It's not pleasant not to, but he doesn't need it. Sometimes he lost track of how much time he spent down there with Fai.

He shakes the boy awake, as much to dispel his own memory as that disconcerting dream.]

Fai? Your Forge was showing a- a dream. I wanted to see how you were feeling.
