Fic: Shades
Title: Shades
Fandom: Homestuck
Major Characters/Pairings: Dave
Wordcount: 100
Rating: PG
POV: Third person
Summary: After everything, there's one final loop that needs closing.
Notes: Originally written as a giftfic for Silvereye on AO3
Content notes: Implied/referenced child abuse.
Dave had said he was done with this, and meant it, but one last time, he spins the record back.
The heat hits hard. He remembers it – and the rooftop, his abraded palms, his shades snapped in half when he hit the ground. The kid looks up, eyes unhidden, as Dave takes them and sets his unbroken ones in their place.
“You’re not real,” he says, and all Dave can say is, “Not yet. But those are.”
The apple juice he leaves, that’s real too. He remembers the taste of it, cold and sweet, washing away the taste of pain.
