Author: hi_falootin
Story: Second Chances
Prompt: Blueberry Yogurt 28. for your own good
Extra: Pocky
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Notes: Sort of a remix of this earlier drabble.
Do What You Think Is Right should be on your family crest. Some days you'd prefer to forget it.
Do What You Think Is Right should be on your family crest.
Like how you know to let the skin across your knuckles heal over, before your anger becomes a permanent part of your body.
Like how your mother is still married; she says, her mouth a grim line, til death do us part, but no one's bothered to check if your father's even alive.
What can you even say when she looks at you over a stack of bills? You say, I'll Survive, and you say, I'll Graduate and Okay, Fine, College.
Wishing you didn't understand so damn well.
So I wanted another chance at this theme. I didn't feel like the original piece I wrote about this was quite true enough to the characters, so I saw the prompt and was like "okay, I'll take a different angle on this." And I think I like this one better, though other people might not. It is a little less cohesive. :P
