TDIR: Fractions

Fandom: The Dark Is Rising
Pairing: Will/Bran
Warnings: Angst
Rating: G
Summary: Bran is happier without knowing. For [livejournal.com profile] 5sentence_fics.



Bran lies next to Will, but he has a feeling that Will isn't quite all there, that not all of Will belongs to this time and this place, and only a fraction of any of it really belongs to him. There's a look on Will's face, even now when he's asleep, that's yearning for something else, something more, as if Bran himself is incomplete, only a fraction of what Will needs but a fraction big enough to have him here: a half plus a third is still almost a whole.

"What's your secret, boyo?" he asks his sleeping lover, and expects no answer, and thinks that he really might be happier without. He brushes Will's hair out of his face and watches him, and longs, and wonders, and wishes he could brush away that lost and lonely look as easily.
