% my tears ricochet

pairings: haechan x gn!reader || wc: 0.96k || warnings: mentions of de*th, dy*ng, car accidents, swearing || inspiration: my tears ricochet by taylor swift

donghyuck kneels at your grave, the rain soaking his clothes. it is the first time he’s visited you since you passed.

he couldn’t bring himself to attend your funeral.

on your headstone are the words, “a wonderful child, loved by all.” donghyuck lifts his finger and gingerly traces the indents of the last three letters.

how he wishes it was his name.

more under the cut!

------------- a month ago -------------

it was raining. you had just finished your last lesson, and were keeping your things in your locker when he walked up to you, uninvited and unwelcome.

“done failing your classes, y/n?” he sneered down at you, snatching your notebook from your grasp. dangling it by just the cover, he shook the notebook, watching with disgust as post-its and other pieces of paper fell out.

you clenched your teeth, balling your fists up, but didn’t say anything. you knew it wouldn’t make a difference anyway. ever since the break up, he never cared about what you felt.

voice even, you said, “give it back, donghyuck. i don’t want to fight.”

“you don’t want to fight?” he asked, not looking at you. “well, i do.” with that, he walked up to the nearest rubbish bin and threw what was left of your notes in.

you stood rooted to the spot as your notes were soiled with strange, sticky liquids and other undesirable substances, unable to say anything in fear of accidentally losing control. you could already feel your anger formulating as harsh words on the tip of your tongue, and if you opened your mouth, they would come rushing out in a rage, ugly and unstoppable.

you took a deep breath and counted to ten. “why did you do that?” your voice was taut, and the air was charged with tension.

donghyuck fixed his gaze on yours. “because you and i no longer love each other.”

that one sentence lit the gas on fire and you exploded.

“i’ve already told you that we broke up for good! we broke up because it wasn’t working, because you were treating me like shit, because i didn’t meet your insane standards and because we were both falling out of love! i did the right thing by ending our relationship, because you were too chicken to do it. why can’t you just accept that we are over and stop harassing me all the time?!”

there was too much to say, too much to feel, and the pressure building inside you for the last three months needed somewhere to go. so you punched the locker door, denting the metal.

you couldn’t even feel the pain.

donghyuck yelled right back at you. “and yet you never gave me another chance to prove myself, never told me where i went wrong! why can’t we try again?”

you were crying at this point, wanting so bad to make him understand you. “i’ve given you more than ten chances, and each time, you’ve failed to prove that you can handle yourself. i can’t do this to myself anymore, hyuck,” you sobbed, and donghyuck shut himself up, because you used his nickname for the first time in months.

“i can’t let you break my heart over and over again, just to tape it back together with feigned regret and empty apologies.”

you had run out into the rain, and donghyuck had done nothing about it, because it had hit him that everything you said about him was true. he didn’t know how to love you right.

and that was when you’d run right in front of a moving car.

------------- present day -------------

he stares at your name, engraved on the semi-circular slab of stone.

“isn’t it funny, that i realised my mistake just as you made yours?” he chuckles, the sound hollow. dead, just like the only person he’d ever loved.

he swallows, feeling his adam’s apple bob up and down against his throat. now that you’re gone, he has no way to apologise. it occurs to him that he may still love you, and continue loving you for the rest of his life. no closure, no way to move on.

it’ll kill him someday.

he rests his forehead on the top of the cold, hard stone, shutting his eyes. a single tear slips out from under his lashes, landing on the surface of the soil beneath which you lie.

“fuck you, y/n.” his voice breaks as he says this. his heart, it beats with melancholy, aching with a hole that can never be filled. “fuck you for making me feel this way.”

he doesn’t say what he most wants to. i wish you stayed.

he remembers a time when you would bound up to him, placing a soft peck on his cheek. or when he would drag you out of bed at two in the morning to buy snacks from the convenience store nearby. your sleepy smile, the way you clinged onto his arm.

donghyuck presses his skin deeper into the rough tombstone, the sharper edges cutting into his flesh. he digs his nails into his palms, quietly acknowledging the fact that you will never do that again. he will never get to see that again.

big, fat drops of rain splatter on his back and skull, creating random rhythms. he focuses on that, drawing his thoughts away from the smarting in his chest. maybe if he removes himself from his surroundings, he might be able to meet you again.

that’s all he needs. one meeting with you.

unfortunately, the law of nature dictates the opposite. in his mind, he hears you say, “your eyes are so bright.” he wants to contradict this statement. that was your light reflecting in his pupils.

the tears come, and for the next few years, they don’t stop.

miels bestie hiii random question but assign some taylor songs off the top of your head to the six of crows characters

oooooh you’re speaking my language

i actually have a six of crows playlist that has some t swift on it that you can find HERE

but if you don’t want to go there just yet

look what you made me do is a general six of crows anthem in my personally opinion. Like apply the message of that song to their mission

i did something bad for all of the girls

haunted for Nina/matthias after nina’s perceived betrayal

this is me trying for either wylan, kaz, or jesper

cowboy like me feels like a kaz x inej song

now some more specifics

kaz: closure, my tears ricochet, bad blood, cold as you

inej: the man, the archer, no body no crime (lol)

jesper: peace, mirrorball, I think he knows

wylan: seven, clean, begin again

nina: stay stay stay, right where you left me, gold rush

matthias: all you had to do was stay, sad beautiful tragic

this was actually kind of tough and now I want to re-read the books to see if i get new inspiration so thanks for that bestie loll

but what do you think? agree? disagree?

23 Months Later

It was a long time coming, but the lonely nights and hard work has paid off for ADA Bryce Lahela. Well, District Attorney Lahela, as of that day.

With his relentless pursuit of grandslamming all cases, he was officially promoted. And ever since, Bryce Lahela was on a roll.

First, Jordan Peter Anderson was contrite, yet still convicted for life imprisonment on two counts of attempted murder and one count each of kidnapping and stalking. He would be transferred to a mental health facility however, due to needed psychiatric treatments.

Guilty.

Second, Declan Nash was found guilty by a grand jury on conspiring to kidnap and murder. Though he denied the allegations until the end, he wasn't spared from justice being served to him. To add insult to injury, his reduced sentence for his role in the Panacea scandal was also reversed when the Boston DA appealed for it.

Guilty.

Third, the Boston DA presented their case and helped senate managers to impeach Senator Ed Farrugia so he can no longer run for any public office moving forward. To save himself from further public prosecution, he plead guilty on counts of kidnapping and attempted murder.

Guilty.

On the sentencing trial of the the three main perpetrators, Bryce argued against bail and advocated for how much psychological damage has been made to the victim and their relatives, becoming the champion of the absent main victim, Heather Song. He succeeded to persuade the court to agree to the original terms. And Bryce, in his sharp gray suit as always, stood a little taller that day. But the latest scoop the press feasted on was the surprise federal conviction of the young DA's own parents, proven to have conspired with others to scheme against both Ed Farrugia and the Edenbrook doctor. This was announced by the federal court on Friday, almost two years after the almost fatal events. They both lost parole privileges and have been given hefty penalties by the FBI.

Bryce considered all of them a triumph. A satisfying closure to the bitter chapter of his life. Most importantly, it was a step closer to her. To reuniting with the love of his life.

Even in the middle of his newfound fame, it was her who motivated him. It was memories of her who helped him endure all those sleepless nights. Even the news of her triumphs in her field inspired him to work harder. When things went tough or didn't go his way, he would always think: what would she do if she was in his situation?

It has always been her.  And he missed her so much.

And on that final day of hearing, as the media clambered around him at the steps of Boston's city court, she was the only one in his mind. His head was kept cool even in the most stressful days by the simple thoughts of her.

Facing his adoring crowd, he thought of her and in a snap he was his usual confident self. Charming, even for the most livid of journalists with the sharpest of tongues. He addressed a barrage of questions about the latest development of the case. But a sudden, unexpected question made the ever-confident Bryce Lahela falter a little:

"What do you plan to do next, now that it's all over?"

In all of the past two years, if someone had asked him that very question, the answer would always be the same.

"I believe it's time to collect on the promise made to me by someone," he said with a smirk directed to the camera, consciously knowing that the person who needed to hear his remarks was listening. He excused himself and went on his way, several of those lens struggling to stay on his figure as he stepped inside his new sleek black car.

Hundreds of miles away, from a living room TV in Baltimore, a pair of hazel eyes watched the evening news earlier that afternoon. Still in her usual work clothes of a white ribbed turtleneck shirt and dark jeans, Heather Song couldn't help but grin back at the smug face of Bryce Lahela, chuckling as she held a glass of the same white wine that she once shared with him so many nights ago.

"Well I guess that's my queue to pack," she muttered to herself as she turned off the TV, and switching on her speakers. Shawn Mendes' crooning voice singing Fallin' All In You played in the background as she went to her bedroom, preparing for her long-awaited return to Boston.

As Heather collected her belongings, she thought of the life she built there in Baltimore. Living in a strange city with nothing to remind her of what she left in Boston was a surprisingly refreshing restart.

The first thing she did after moving in was to make an appointment for a therapist, who helped her deal with the trauma of everything she experienced. The months of consistently visiting her doctor helped her recuperate, as she worked on rebuilding the passion she somehow lost for a while when she left Edenbrook.

As she slowly found her strength again, she focused on her cancer research, providing a happy reprieve in her loneliness. The research she led has been lauded by the medical community as the most advance step medicine has made towards the cure for cancer. The plaque for which their team's efforts were recognized sat on a prominent shelf in the middle of her own office at Johns Hopkins. It was the work she was most proud of ever since she became a doctor. It was where she flourished, even more than as a diagnostician. In her video calls with her mentor in Edenbrook, she never forgot to thank Ethan for nudging her to the right direction. She often joked with Naveen as well, telling them they had good hindsight, and it was the best decision that she trusted them both.

Her friends frequently facetimed, often weekly and during drunken nights at Donahues. There was never a day that she didn't miss them.

Recalling the great times she has had in her isolation proved to be good for her. She was able to find herself once again, her mentors were right. Her career weren't overshadowed but instead shone in the months she spent by herself in Maryland.

Yet she missed this one person so much, but witnessing his career flourish certainly made it easier and the nights longing for him worth it. And she couldn't be more prouder. She watched every news coverage he was featured in, liked every post he was tagged in, asked for news of him from the gang once in a while. In her own subtle way, Heather continued to love him, even from afar.  But not knowing when and where she'd see him again ached her heart for so long. She tried to seek answers from him so many times, yet she wasn't able to dial his number.

She was in the middle of her thoughts when suddenly her doorbell rang.

"Must be Farley again," she sighed, lightly brushing back her now long brunette hair before she trudged to her entryway.

When she opened the door, she barely was only able to glance at her visitor before he dipped her down and kissed her.

The lips that pressed upon hers were soft and familiar. The visitor's scent she knew so well excited her, making her respond to the kiss. A couple of breathless minutes after, Heather can finally express her amazement, inviting the very much welcome guest inside.

"I told you I'd come find you," she said teasingly, beckoning him inside her apartment.

"There was no need, Heath, because my eyes never left you," Bryce winked at her and smiled his megawatt smile, making Heather melt inside. He was still wearing his gray suit from the press conference that afternoon, making it known that he flew straight to her after he wrapped up the case.

Bryce kept track of her, no matter how difficult. Sienna and Jackie had filled him in with updates from her, refusing to let go of his connection with her for the last two years as he waited and waited for the right time to reconnect.

It took a long time, yet finally, the months of waiting flew by fast. As if the calendar and the seasons anticipated their reunion.

Though it was agonizing to watch each other from afar, making their chosen path all the more difficult, it proved to be the final test needed for the love that they had. Distance and time apart can either make you or break you, but for them, it only made them long for each other more.

Not even for a second did Heather look at someone else, she was Bryce's alone, as promised. And she knew that, finding him tonight in her doorstep, it was the same for him.

As they stood in Heather's living room, staring at each other to trace the tiny changes in their appearances since the day they saw each other last, the unspoken longing was more than they could bear.

He pulled her once again in his arms and held Heather tight, savoring the jasmine scent of hers that he missed so much in the past. She wrapped her arms around his waist in return, finally able to lean on his warmth after so many cold nights.

"I hope you didn't mind me barging in here without so much of a warning," Bryce whispered into her ear, as he tucked his head in between the nape of her neck. Heather silently shook her head, struggling to stop the happy tears from falling, leaning into the warmth of the man whose arms she longed be in for a long time. "I couldn't wait a second more to move on from what happened and just be together, you and me, no hospital, no stupid senators, no overbearing parents, no threats, just us." Bryce said softly, almost afraid that this wasn't all real. He dreamt about this moment so much that he thought this might just be his imagination, conjured by the many sleepless and lonely days of the path they chose for themselves.

"I'd love that so much, Bryce," Heather spoke gently into his ear, hoping that those few words were more than enough to convey that this was real, and that the warmth and love she still felt for him is still true since that fateful day in a Boston cafe.

His lips touched her nose, her cheeks, then found her mouth once again, thirsty of her after so long apart. Heather allowed him, tilting her head to deepen the kiss as her hands settled on the nape of his neck, fiery passion and warm tingling slowly rising inside.

There were no more games, no more lies. The worries of losing Heather disappeared, finding her in this new place but seeking his same old embrace, his same old kiss. Bryce felt joy and an overwhelming relief, that finally, finally, Heather was his, and him hers and hers alone.

The promise that it gets brighter from then on was uttered. And a vow that when the rain does come, they'd hold each other tighter. No more letting go. Like a stubborn bullet that never quite hit its target until now, Heather ricocheted off Bryce Lahela's walls and broke them down until he couldn't resist being hit anymore.

The tenacious, snarky, and smart woman in his arms hit him where it mattered the most. And he knew full well that not another day will be spent looking behind, just forward. Because finally, he found the right woman to fall all in for. And that's Heather freaking Song.

[archersandsunsets]

Congrats on getting so much essay work done! I have to say as a very recent English Lit grad your excitement about the Romantic poets brought back so many fond memories <3 okay but as for business: Do you or do you not think that the tracks of Folklore and Evermore are pairwise connected? I don't know if Taylor has said anything about this, but it feels like the tracks with the same number are (or could be) all related somehow?

omg! thanks for sharing about the romantic period! it’s so fun to be able to look at this romantic outlook on life and then write about my feelings on miss swift!

onto your theory: i’ve seen it. this is really interesting as an idea, but just putting the titles side by side doesn’t make sense in my opinion given the very different trajectory of story told. i can see similar themes within the albums, and within the songs—but not when constrained to the tracklist order exactly.

(she says, and then puts every song on folklore and every song on evermore side by side and proves herself all kinds of wrong!)

for example:

the 1 / willow - playful what if? / more of that “we found that forever love” rather than questions - so unless you want to see it as being more like a dichotomy... which... might actually work hold on.

cardigan / champagne problems - well these are both reflections on relationships but very different... dichotomy???? also you have the parallel ranting bridges which give you a lot of information about what happened. (i could see this one working but more like a two sides of the same coin maybe... and i have seen a theory on champagne problems being about betty/james, but given the fact that cardigan is clearly a long 20 year onward reflection... idk if it exactly fits... but who knows. i’m only on day 1 of looking at it.)

tlgad / gold rush - rebekah harkness / having a crush or infatuation... this one just doesn’t work at all imo. gold rush reminds me of gorgeous or at least about taylor x joe, and tlgad is a totally separate story thematically.

exile / tis the damn season - this is like an almost maybe but might be reaching. like. both have that whole exes storyline—one where the breakup occurs, and one after. i guess it depends on your interpretation of when this exiled relationship took place. ALSO! parallels of “homeland” and “hometown” ummmmmmm!!!!

my tears ricochet / tolerate it - there is the marriage aspect holding them together, but personally my tears ricochet fits together more with happiness? i can’t get that thought out of my head so this one is just... yeah. but i can see it a tiny, tiny bit on the surface of marriage relationships. i also saw tolerate it connecting a bit to illicit affairs too??

mirrorball / no body no crime - yeah it kinda falls apart here for me. i don’t see this one at all.

seven / happiness - i wanna say this one doesn’t work, but there’s CLEAR parallels between trees lyrics (”i hit my peak at seven feet in the trees...” / “honey when i’m above the trees” and then the direct use of SEVEN years in Heaven) AND THEY’RE BOTH TRACK SEVENS

august / dorothea - there’s a parallel here of both of them kind of going after people who don’t seem to... care about them? with august, she asks if he’ll call when he’s back at school but then ultimately reaches a reflection later that he wasn’t hers to lose. whereas in dorothea, the subject is asking “do you ever think of me” in classic Taylor Swift fashion. honestly, there is a whole other theory about dorothea where dorothea represents Taylor as like a—dare i say it—self-insert or parallel character to herself in this universe she’s created.

this is me trying / coney island - definitely two different stories being told here, as is with both of these albums. this one could definitely be a younger and an older story. this is me trying is trying to fix something that was broken, and so is coney island... both have been hurt, but they’re different kinds of hurt.

illicit affairs / ivy - uh, the obvious pair. two sides of the same coin, but maybe with different endings? DICHOTOMY... i’m scared.

invisible string / cowboy like me - now i’ve seen cowboy like me talked about as a song about Taylor and Joe... and if that’s true, these are exactly where they belong. i haven’t had time to wrap my mind around this one quite yet, so i’m leaving it at that. potential for parallels for sure—one the cute little love story, and one a bit more metaphorized version of the same tale.

mad woman / long story short - on first glance, this one doesn’t fit... but it depends on what lens you see the song through. both talk about dealing with difficult times... and taking time to come back from those things. so, yeah, checks the box.

epiphany / marjorie - this is just the couple of grandfather and grandmother at this point. case closed.

betty / closure OR hoax / closure - betty doesn’t work in this instance, so i’ve taken the liberty of pairing closure with hoax. and it makes sense, given what Taylor said in the long pond sessions about hoax being about a lot of what she was dealing with and potentially Scott mentions again... the same can be said of closure. this is just the end of that story, where the person (i’ve seen theories that are both for Scott specifically or Kanye... especially the latter wanting to like help her with her masters situation now hm) comes back asking for closure and Taylor says “i don’t need it and i’m not going to give it to you either.” i don’t fully understand hoax but i definitely see bits of the struggle with BMG there in order for this to work.

(bonus) the lakes / evermore - uh yeah this one seems pretty self explanatory too? the lakes kind of being like, dealing with the masters situation and waning to run away with her lover... and evermore being dealing with the pain of the masters situation and other things... it’s not an exact fit, but does in some areas.

and we still have two songs off evermore we haven’t heard! so, uh, yeah. i was a skeptic but then i stopped to look at it and... damn. this one holds weight. you flipped me!

tldr: i think this works, if not direct parallels then in more dichotomy ways! but, it doesn’t work for every track.

[faedawayyy]

since everyone seems to be linking folklore/evermore songs to certain ships. i gave both albums a listen and did it for myself. :’) idk what the songs are about as much as you guys, it’s just the vibe. so like. don’t be too mad if i get it wrong. i don’t like folklore at all so i won’t be surprised if i’m off...  (no hate to taylor btw, i love her as a musician but i feel like folklore/evermore are v specific and just not my style.)

[millllennia]

Initial theories based on no facts because we have no facts: evermore

Willow 

She’s married

She gets married under a willow tree 

Or she’s safe and sounds older sister 

Champagne problems 

I feel like maybe august x New Years day? 

Gold rush 

Another historical song? That’s pretty literal though 

Also possibly like invisible string where it’s a metaphor for something 

’Tis the damn season 

I WANT MY CHRISTMAS SONG 

but this probably isn’t a Christmas song like it’s probably just got that wintery vibe the same way that so many songs on folklore at a end of summer/fall vibe 

Tolerate it 

This is track five. It’s going to hurt. That’s not a theory, it’s just a fact 

My tears ricochet part 2?

also maybe a women vs society track? 

like we’re taught to just ignore the people that hurt us so they don’t get any satisfaction from our reactions 

but that’s basically just teaching us to tolerate the pain in hopes that it goes away 

No body no crime (feat Haim) 

I want this to be a rock song so bad

Mad Woman vibes 

Happiness 

I want a swear word

a spare curse, ma'am? 

I think this will maybe be like peace? where the track sounds like happiness and the lyrics flip it on it’s head

Dorothea 

I have no clue 

who is this bitch 

Coney Island (feat the National) 

Another historial/fictional one? 

Ivy

Reminds me of the wisteria mention in the Lakes 

Cowboy like me 

I HAVE NO IDEA BUT IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE

Long story short 

Maybe another low-key rock song? story of us vibes? 

Marjorie 

This is her grandmother’s name, right? 

Closure 

Daylight? 

Evermore (feat bon iver) 

This is going to cause me physical pain and I am here for it 

BONUS TRACKS 

Right where you left me 

Also could be my tears ricochet part 2

It’s time to go 

I feel like this is maybe a fan song?

Kurtbastian one-shot - Don't Break the Ice (Rated PG)

Summary: After the fight with their father that leads to Sebastian and Richard kicking him out of the house and taking away his claim to the Smythe family fortune, the next step is visiting their mother in her new home. But while talking to a doctor about her care, Sebastian is distracted by a loud tapping noise that no one else seems to hear. (2206 words)

Notes: So these are the series of one-shots I wrote back in 2015 (I think) that make up the sequel 'Special Delivery'. I held on to them because they were going to be incorporated into the chapters of the sequel. That sequel is taking forever to finish, unfortunately. It will get done, I just can't say when. So I'm posting these so that anyone who is curious or needs closure will know where the story goes and how it ends.

Read on AO3.

“As you can see, we’ve outlined an extensive plan for your mother’s care,” Dr. Harold said, handing Richard and Sebastian folders thick with paperwork. “If you take a look at page one, you’ll see …”

Sebastian opened the folder in his lap and flipped through the pages, jumping ahead of the doctor’s commentary.

Thirteen pages in, he was sorry he did.

He became overwhelmed by the amount of information he saw: dietary recommendations, meal plans, exercise schedules, medications …

… palliative care.

Sebastian read those words and gulped hard.

This folder he held, from the first page to the last, covered the entirety of what was left of his mother’s life.

And it was relatively light, all things considered.

His hands began to shake. He flipped the folder closed, deciding it would be best for the doctor to tell him himself.

Digest the information slowly.

“We’ve tried to anticipate any and all complications regarding …”

Tap tap tap tap tap …

High-pitched and dull, the sound pinged off the side of Sebastian’s skull. He lifted his head, looked around, waited for it to return. When it didn’t, he mentally shrugged and returned his attention to the lecture.

“Initially, we were concerned that …”

Tap tap tap tap tap …

“What the…?” Sebastian glanced around again. The doctor kept talking, undeterred by the noise. His brother, his sister-in-law, and Kurt seemed unfazed, as if they didn’t hear it. But it seeped into Sebastian’s ears, knocking in his brain, making it impossible for him to focus on anything else for too long.

Tap tap tap tap tap …

“Now, we’ve recommended that she be kept on …”

Sebastian stared at the doctor, continuing on as if nothing out of the ordinary was going on, stunned that he wasn’t the least bit perturbed by the interruption. But since it didn’t actually seem to interrupt him, Sebastian didn’t know if the sound wasn’t just inside his own head. No one else seemed to notice it or be bothered by it.

But for him, it ricocheted behind his eyes and made concentration unbearable.

‘Maybe I’m finally going insane,’ he thought. ‘The stress of the past year, last night, and now this? Maybe I should be checking myself in here with mom. Wouldn’t be fair to saddle Kurt with a disturbed boyfriend after being stalked by a maniac.’

Tap tap tap tap tap …

Sebastian cringed as the tap tap tapping continued, grinding his teeth together to combat the sound. It was a rhythmic sort of hammering, but he didn’t notice any construction going on when they arrived. The longer the tapping continued, the more he began to shrink into his seat, his hands creeping up to his ears to try and block it out. He started to feel like he was making a scene, but the only person who seemed to notice was Kurt.

“Sebastian,” he said, leaning close. “Honey, are you alright?”

“Yeah,” Sebastian replied, fidgeting in his seat when the sound erupted again. “I’m okay. I’m just … is it hot in here? It feels hot in here … to me …”

“I … it’s not hot in here,” Kurt said, shivering as conditioned air from a vent above them poured down his neck and into the collar of his shirt. He worried for his boyfriend. He’d never seen Sebastian so agitated before. He was usually so cool under pressure, ready with a snarky remark that was more humorous than sarcastic to alleviate the tension.

But not now.

He seemed on the beveled edge of losing control.

“Oh,” Sebastian replied, doing his best to smile reassuringly when he saw the worry in Kurt’s eyes. “Well, then, it’s probably just me.”

Tap tap tap tap tap … Tap tap tap tap tap … Tap tap tap tap tap …

The sound was getting steadily louder, becoming more relentless, driving Sebastian mad. He couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that of all the people in this room, he seemed to be the only person affected by it. He tried to relax, tried to focus, tried to shut it out of his brain, but he couldn’t. The tap tap tap burrowed into him. He gripped Kurt’s hand until his poor boyfriend let out a squeak. Sebastian turned and mouthed ‘I’m sorry’, kissing his knuckles gently. Kurt smiled in understanding, taking Sebastian’s hand in his again.

Tap tap tap tap crash!!

Sebastian fought to pay attention, to listen to the doctor talk about his mother’s deteriorating condition, his brother making arrangements for her long-term care. He wanted to be present in this decision, more than just a signature next to an ‘X’.

That irritating repetitive noise wouldn’t let him.

Sebastian looked left and right, his nerves pricked to needle points. Eventually, Sebastian couldn’t handle it anymore. It wasn’t just the tapping noise getting to him. It was everything.

He recalled all the things he had that made life worth living since there were so many times he had considered throwing in the towel. Spoiled and wallowing in self-pity, he knew, but at the time, it felt like the world was coming to an end. No money, no home, no future …

… no family.

But he had Kurt now, he had his family. He’d been reunited with his own (the parts of it that mattered), and with the help of his brother, he had gotten his trust fund back. He could provide Kurt with the security he deserved.

But what he needed to find was peace.

There was no peace.

Tap tap tap tap crash!!

Sebastian stood bolt upright.

All eyes turned to him.

“Um, I’m sorry,” he stuttered awkwardly, moving through the chairs. “I … I just need some air …”

“Oh,” Tabitha said.

“All right,” his brother added.

“If that’s what you need,” Kurt said.

“Yes,” Sebastian lied, because what he really needed was to find the source of that tapping noise and wring its neck!

He stormed into the waiting room and looked frantically around. The large, open area was fairly vacant. Gravitating near the corners were individual groups, one or two visiting relatives clustered around a resident in a wheelchair, sometimes talking animatedly, but more often than not staring off into space, completely oblivious to the presence of loved ones around them.

That would be his mom, sooner than he had prepared for.

His mom had always been a beacon of energy, so full of life and love and hope. She was his anchor, the rock he tethered himself to whenever the going got tough. There was no age limit to his admiration of his mother; it didn’t wane as years went by. Even as a grown man, he’d find himself coming home to mom, pouring his heart out to her over everything.

And she was always there, ready to listen, present for the important stuff.

The way he should be instead of running away over a little tapping.

The thought of her sitting in a chair, eyes empty, possibly unable to recognize him, to see herself in his face?  

He couldn’t stand it.

Tap tap tap tap crash!!

Sebastian spun in a circle, the sound nearly on top of him out here, and found the source of the noise.

A little girl, around nine or ten, pale complexion, and curly brown hair tied back from her head with a blue ribbon that reminded him so much of Kurt’s eyes.

Kurt.

He should go back to Kurt.

But something about this girl mesmerized him, and like the bystander of a traffic accident, he couldn’t look away.

She knelt on the floor, deep in concentration as she knocked on white blocks with a small, plastic hammer, tapping them meticulously until they fell with the loud crash that had been haunting him for the last ten minutes.

His first instinct was to tear the hammer from the girl’s hand and throw it across the room, but then he noticed she sat out here all by herself, and a strange, protective urge came over him.

“Hey,” he said, smiling brightly, sitting on a chair close enough to converse with her but not close enough to be seen as creepy or threatening.

“Hello,” the girl replied politely, not taking her eyes off the game.

Tap tap tap tap crash!!

All the blocks fell. She looked neither pleased nor put off as she put the hammer down and started picking the blocks up, putting them back into the blue plastic frame of the game.

“What is that you’re playing?” Sebastian asked as he watched her set everything back in place.

“Don’t Break the Ice”.

“Can I ask why you’re playing that … extremely loud game … out here all by yourself?”

The girl sighed significantly but didn’t stop re-setting her game to look at him.

“My parents sent me out here because they’re having tall talk with the doctor.”

Sebastian smirked. “Really? Me as well.”

The girl’s head snapped up, revealing the most startling pair of green eyes he had ever seen … almost like his own, but more like his mother’s. It took him back a bit though he tried not to show it.

The girl smiled with an odd amount of sympathy for a child.

“No,” she said, returning to her game. “You’re out here because things got too serious.”

Sebastian’s smile fell from his face. He knew children could be perceptive, but her matter-of-fact wisdom for her age unnerved him. “How … how do you know?”

“Because that happens to my mom sometimes.”

Sebastian nodded.

“You came out here to find some peace,” she continued. “That’s why I’m here.” The girl clamped her tongue between her teeth as she tried to force the last of the blocks together. “This brings me peace.”

The girl picked up her hammer and started tapping out the blocks again.

Tap tap tap tap tap …

Sebastian watched her go through the whole process again.

“You know, a lot of people might not see this as peaceful.”

The girl shrugged. “My grandpa used to say that not everybody finds peace in the same place.”

“Gotcha. So, who are you here to see?” Sebastian asked.

Tap tap tap tap tap …

“My grandma. She’s going to go see my grandpa soon.”

Tap tap tap tap tap …

Sebastian’s breath caught. He felt his eyes burn with tears but he refused to give in. Not in front of this girl, perceptive or not.

“Can I try that?” he asked. “See if I can find some peace?”

“Sure.” The girl passed the hammer to Sebastian. He knelt on the floor and started tapping the blocks.

Tap tap tap tap tap …

Tapping the blocks felt cathartic, but the noise sounded no better even though he was the one making it this time. Plus, he was starting to get odd looks from other adults. Not that he cared, but he wasn’t eager to attract attention.

There are some things kids can get away with that adults can’t.

Sebastian sighed.

“Nah.” He passed the hammer back. “I don’t think this is where I’ll find my peace.”

The girl looked up at the sound of a door closing, a muffled woman’s crying, and a man clearing his throat. Without a word from anyone, she started picking up the pieces of the game and putting them in the box.

“I’ve gotta go,” she said sadly. “But maybe you should ask that man you’ve been hugging. Maybe he can help you find your peace.”

Very perceptive. Sebastian smiled. It was small, but it was there. “Maybe you’re right.”

She put the last of the blocks into the box when an older man came into view. He looked quizzically down at Sebastian, still kneeling on the floor, then extended a hand to his daughter.

“Come along, Lizzie,” he said. “It’s time to go.”

The girl said nothing. Probably because she knew there was nothing to say. She waved at Sebastian, then took her father’s hand and let herself be led away.

Sebastian didn’t stand up after Lizzie left. He knelt on the knobby carpet, staring in the direction she had gone, a disquieting emptiness inching up his body, turning everything inside him cold.

A warm, comforting hand squeezed his shoulder.

He tilted his head up and saw Kurt looking down at him with concerned eyes. “Oh, sweetheart! What happened?”

Sebastian opened his mouth to speak only to find his voice had stuck, lodged in his throat with those tears he’d been forcing back. Except he hadn’t succeeded. While he watched Lizzie walk away, he’d started crying. Sebastian stood, and Kurt wrapped his arms around him, held him tight.

“I was playing with Lizzie,” Sebastian replied, burying his face in the crook of Kurt’s neck. “I---I was playing with Lizzie and …”

“Shh. It’s all right. I promise. It’s going to be all right,” Kurt repeated, rubbing soothing circles over Sebastian’s spine. Sebastian felt his sorrow melt away as he inhaled deeply that sweet scent of vanilla that was Kurt’s signature scent. It was a smell that reminded Sebastian of love and hope and protection.

It reminded him of home. His new home.

In Kurt’s arms, which felt like home, Sebastian found his peace.
