[23] Memory
[23] Memory
Note: An answer to Seffie's challenge. "Write a drabble that feels like an excerpt from a longer story but isn't."
kimi wo kimi wo itsu datte omotteta yo
aki no setsunasa datte hitorikiri no IBU datte
itsuka itsuka awai omoide ni kawaru noni
nee kimi dake wa omoide ni dekinai
I was always thinking of you, of you
The sadness of autumn, the evenings I am alone,
Although someday, someday they will change into faint memories,
you know, you're the only thing that can't become a memory
"Omoide ni Dekinai" by Younha

"What do you do when you lose someone?" Ryoma whispered, gaze never wavering from where he was staring at the horizon. "What do you do with the memories that you have of that person? Will they make you sad when you think about them? Will even the good times make you cry? Will the very thought of that person always make you sad now?"
Syuusuke was quiet for a moment. Slowly, he moved away from the doorway, walking with careful steps to stand beside Ryoma.
"It will hurt at first. Every single thing that reminds you of the person you lost will remind you of the pain. And it will feel unbearable at first." He shifted his gaze to look at Ryoma, eyes open and sad. "But then you'll start to heal. And then hearing that person's name won't hurt as much. And then remembering the good times will no longer make you cry and you start to smile and even laugh when you remember."
Ryoma closed his eyes, holding his words close. He shivered unconsciously and Syuusuke wanted to hold him, badly.
"I don't think I can do that now." Ryoma said quietly. "But I will, someday."
