Summary
Sometimes he couldn't help but feel as though he'd been unraveled at the seams. An aged sweater tugged a bit too thin, a ball of yarn tossed back and forth one too many times.
Pushed and pulled between this and that, the thread of his being threatening to snap.
He blinks, watching ball after ball soar across cotton blue skies, boys dotting the field below, huffing and puffing and wiping sweat from their faces. He Tian folds his hands across his lap as Mo squints, calculating as it soars, his coach screeching at him to run.
It’s just practice.
Mo doesn't need to work this hard, whittle down the little strength he has left to the bone. But he does, anyway.
Because he can.
Because he always will.
