Memory 04

[wildnight]

Catching Sieh sleeping (just sleeping) with Yeine. (ref: HTK 105)) trivial negative

Description:

This one is pretty tiny and easy:

Sieh slept in a sprawl, taking over much of the very large bed. I had expected him to cuddle close, but he seemed content merely to have some part of his body in contact with me—a leg and a hand this time, tossed over my own leg and belly respectively. I did not mind the sprawl, nor the faint snoring. I did, once again, mind the daylight-bright walls.

Despite that, I dozed off anyhow. I must have been tired. Sometime later I half-woke and opened my eyes, bleary, to see that the room had gone dark. Since dark rooms at night were normal to me, I thought nothing of it and drifted off again. But in the morning I would recall something—a taste in the air, as Sieh had termed it. That taste was something I had little experience with, yet I knew it the way an infant knows love, or an animal knows fear. Jealousy, even between father and son, is a fact of nature.

That morning I turned over and found Sieh awake, his green eyes dark with regret. Wordlessly he rose, smiled at me, and vanished. I knew that he would never sleep with me again.

And end memory.

Notes:
-Relatively safe, if anyone else wants to take it. Not very productive though.
-This isn't going to make Naha like Sieh less. I think that, in many of these memories, there is a sense of their shared circumstance. However, that doesn't mean there isn't a particular order here. Naha might be a little less willing to let Sieh guide him.
-Naha's going to get a little punch up of territoriality here. His things are his things.
-Once again, Naha is drawn to Yeine in a way he doesn't quite understand.

Form: Ball of yarn.

It is pretty interesting, I think. It does seem to imply a bit, but we only get it from Yeine's POV, so it's hard to say what went on there.

...Mother complex, I think is a thing.

It's interesting that Naha himself is possessive/territorial over Sieh, but then you have this situation...

It makes me wonder about how much Naha knew.

That's hard to tell sometimes in general. Which is fun, and interesting for me. There is the whole thing where Naha is supposed to be aware of everything that happens in darkness, and he's sometimes liable to say things that are like... what... are you even...?

On the other hand, sometimes he goes crazy and forgets all the things.
