Summary
"Life isn't a storybook, Durin."
"Ours could be," Durin said quietly. He put his cheek on Scara's shoulder again. And now he held onto Scara's upper arm, hugging Scara's elbow to his chest.
"No," Scara said, pulling his arm free. "It can't."
Later that night, Scara lay alone, tracing his stare over the patterned ceiling of his Akademiya room, telling himself that it was better this way. Better to give Durin a small, manageable wound and teach him not to be so vulnerable, so open-hearted, before the world gave him the kind of wound that never heals.
Scara pressed his palm to that empty place in his chest. He never understood how the absence of a heart hurt him more than its presence.
A series of interconnected one-shots, set during the summer that Durin spent with Scaramouche in Sumeru.
Scara volunteers to look after Durin for the summer. But he didn't anticipate just how hard and how quickly he would fall in love -- or how terrifying it would be, to allow himself to trust another person.
