Summary
Jesse is awake early, the sun only just easing up over the horizon. Everything is hushed in a way it won’t be again until nightfall; the kind of quiet that requires reverence, or abandonment. Churches, and graveyards, and the stillness of morning.
He’s comfortable and content, caught up in his blankets, but once he’s lost the thread of drowsiness he can never catch it again. Jesse presses his face into tangled green hair, and breathes for a while. Warm skin under his fingers, the faint scent of shampoo.
Then he leaves Genji sleeping, just like he always does.
He’s halfway through making breakfast, whistling the melody of a song he can’t quite remember the words to, when he feels Genji’s eyes on him from down the hall. Their bedroom door is open. Genji’s laid out sideways on Jesse’s pillows, hair in his eyes, uncharacteristically alert.
Watching Jesse with blatant interest, but there’s also something confused there, something calculating. Like he’s trying to figure Jesse out.
Like he’s trying to remember him, but it’s just out of his grasp.
