idiosyncrasies. Quote is from "Take a Picture" by Filter. Thanks to
Xelchan for the song.
He's always liked this shiny red floor.
Rion sits crosslegged, arms loosely folded in his lap, and watches as Cain rubs at his face with the back of his hand.
"Got something in your eye?"
"Yeah, hold on a sec...There, got it. Ugh, stupid thing."
"What was it, an eyelash?"
"Uh-huh. I hate it when this happens."
Smiling, Rion leans forward and gently grasps Cain's wrist. "Know what I've heard?"
"...what?" Barely audible gulp.
Rion lifts his other arm, draws a fingertip along the back of the other boy's hand, and finally points to the aggravating lash. "That if you put an eyelash on the back of your left hand, make a wish, and blow it off, it'll come true."
"Really?"
Light laughter. "Sure! But you have to close your eyes, and if you can still see the eyelash after you try to blow it off, it doesn't work and you can't try again." Slight frown. "You should try anyway, though."
Cain doesn't know whether to smile back or cry.
Still grinning, Rion nods, lets go, and pulls back. "Go on! Wish for something."
After watching his little brother for another precious moment, Cain raises his hand, blows softly, and wishes he could stop the inevitable.
