Title: #1 - Soft Linens
Author: The Inamorata
Prompt: W for Word
Chapter Summary: It was hard to focus on the task at hand; the words this man spoke were nothing than sounds flowing in one ear and out the other. The pattern and texture of the linins draped over the chairs were much more interesting.
Author's Note: First in a series of twenty-six one hundred word drabbles.

"Think back; tell me what's the earliest thing you remember."
There was so much that he had lost, so much he had forgotten. He looked down, refusing to make eye contact. His arms were to his side, fingers tracing little circles on the soft linen that lined the chair.
The feeling of nostalgia that swept through him indescribably. It was brief, gone as soon as it came. He thought he felt his eyelids flicker, hoping it went unnoticed. He didn't stop his fingers.
"Nnoitra? Take your time."
He couldn't match words to what he wanted to say, so he said nothing at all.
