Drabble: To the Summer Sweet (Memory, Oriya, YnM)
To the Summer Sweet
A Yami no Matsuei Drabble
By Dorian Gray
AN: Memory challenge. Written November, 2004.
It begins the first time he can't remember the reason they became friends.
Oriya sends all the servants away and sits for hours in the gilded light of autumn, watching whorls of white smoke drift from the bowl of his pipe into a bottomless blue sky; watches as the red leaves glide down from the trees in long slow spirals.
He knows there was a time when those pale eyes shone with ambition and ideals and a restless seeking spirit, but those days are past recall.
Oriya taps out his pipe and waits as the ashes disappear into the wind.
