Drifting Away
Title: Drifting Away
Rating: G
Fandom: Parenthood
Characters: Adam, Crosby, mentions of Julia
Warning: Slightly OOC Crosby
Author's Notes: Exactly 200 words. I combined all the prompts and this just wrote itself. I really like it, but forgive me if Crosby seems a little OOC because I like to think that there's a deeper side to him than we've seen on the show.
Prompts: Of silver and gold, knights and rooks, eloquent gloom at solitaire3
Progress: 1/1 complete
Summary: Adam misses his brother.
For his twenty first birthday, Crosby bought him a chess set made out of silver and gold. All of the knights and rooks, kings and queens, even the pawns shone brightly against the glass chessboard. They play a lot, usually when Crosby has something on his mind and wants to talk to Adam to get it off and figure things out. Sometimes they play in complete silence with only the clink of the pieces against the board as commentary.
Adam thinks that there's a certain eloquent gloom in the way the chessboard now sits upon the top shelf of his bookcase, the pieces undisturbed. They haven't played in forever and that worries Adam more than it should because it seems like Crosby is growing up, but Adam misses him, misses the long talks, the silences that stretched on forever.
He misses Crosby. His little brother is growing up and he doesn't need him anymore. There's no need to bring the chessboard down, for he only plays with Crosby and occasionally Julia, but never with the silver and gold board. That one is only for him and Crosby to share.
He just has to wait for the day they play again.
