TDIR: Eyes Open

Fandom: The Dark Is Rising
Pairing: Will/Bran
Warnings: None
Rating: G
Summary: Owen knows. For [livejournal.com profile] 5sentence_fics.



Owen watches them climbing up the slope away from the house. He doesn't understand, really, what binds them two together, but he understands that Will drives the wild hopeless loneliness from Bran and makes him laugh, makes him smile, makes him come alive like Pinocchio from wood. And that, he finds, he can't really disapprove of, even if he's seen them playing, rolling in the grass, and then kissing with their eyes open and smiling, the sun shining down on them.

He finds that the cold of the church as he steps in no longer feels so welcoming, because he knows that his Bran is looked on with more than fear, now. He finds that sometimes he wishes he'd played more, up on those hills and slopes and mountains that Bran and Will have made their own.
