Title: Photograph
Pairing: ShiHan

Word Count: 179
Warnings: Angsty drabble.
Notes: Done for my Mission Insane claim, as inspired by image 9 of my Themed Table: Pictures.
Frail old fingers touch the yellowed paper, tracing over the border thoughtfully, weak red tinged eyes scanning the scene through spectacles.
Young faces smile out at him, two boys, one with his arm slung haphazard over the shorter's shoulders, watching the other, leaning on him while the other laughs, eyes narrow and glittering, nose scrunched up, the picture of happiness.
It hurts. Old memories aren't supposed to be dug up sometimes. Sometimes they're better left in the old photo albums, in the back corners of attics.
The photograph flips over, and in a messy scrawl on the back, there's a note, from the one who stood behind the camera.
Better you than me to put up with him. Always be this happy together; you deserve it.
~HC.
Funny thing, the promises that were made. Always and forever. Heartfelt, but unkeepable, once that shorter, older boy got sick. He was strong but some thing's can't be helped.
31. 31. Not enough time... never enough time, but that was cruelly short. And Shiwon could never love another after.
His vision blurs, losing focus on young faces from so long ago, happy then, blissfully unaware.
Tear drops dampen the coloured image.
