Photograph  
Title: Photograph
Pairing: ShiHan
Rating: PG-13
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.

T-T **Wibble** NoOoOooo~~...that number. I am hoping that that number means years that they were together...but from the context I get the sinking feeling that that's how old Hannie was when he unwillingly left. DX

Yeah.... the one from context is the right one in this case >o< Thanks for reading ♥

That's just...heartbreaking. Especially considering how much time has passed.

**Shifty eyes** You know...you could write a 'happier' followup to this fic using pictures 2 or 3 on your table...

^^ hehe, i laugh when i read fifteen_half comment. when everyone else were sending a hate-comment.... she just break the chain...

i though this was great and beautiful.
don't get me wrong, you're breaking my heart here...
I'll not forgive you until you make it up to me. T_T


Blah Blah Blah Nic Blah Blah: Chasing Lights[info]mars_elegies on December 12th, 2008 07:45 pm (UTC)
XD Well, they still liked it, its just they didn't specifically say that it was a sad fic.

Thank you ^^<3 Make it up to you? o.o how?
arina[info]innocently_hot on December 13th, 2008 12:17 am (UTC)
okay, you can just ignore me...
because i'll become depressed after reading a death!fic or angsty!fic with sad ending and will ask the author to make it up to me....because it's their fault i was feeling sad, even if it was a good sad fic

I'll be happy once i read a fluffy one (which i'm sure you will have it in the future...) so no worry... I dunno why i'm like this... it have become a habit to ask people to make it up to me.... XD

..................................................well, at least they were happy at one point. AND! they're still very much in love.

Also, this is when you make this fic become not sad and Geng becomes a ghost. Or Shiwon promptly dies and they meet and frolic in heaven. That would make me not look like what I look like, which kind of looks like this: :`(

On the other hand, life happens. 31 is a really sad age to die at. Especially when you leave a Shiwon behind. D8

No sequels -o- I suck hard at sequels. But inheritable has written one so you can check that out if you like >.>

X(((( So sad! But totally inspired me for a fic! Keep writing =) but I was wondering, could you maybe send me the icon at the top of the page, the super junior one- in your fandom, reading your fan fics? If you want to share, cause I absolutely love it =)
Thanks!
