True Blue 2, Scarlet 1: Shelter

Author: Kat
Title: Shelter
Story: In the Heart
Colors: True blue 2 (Blood siblings), scarlet 1 (Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.) with dark_kana's paint by numbers (Tell me that past times won't die. Tell me that old lies are alive.)
Supplies and Materials: Miniature, photography, pastels (cotton candy bingo: keys).
Word Count: 100.
Rating: PG.
Summary: Why Danny always has a key to Michael's apartment, and vice versa.
Warnings: mention of child abuse.
Notes: Still alive.


When things got really bad at home, Michael used to sneak into Danny's room and make her tell him stories. It didn't drown out the fighting, but nothing did, and that wasn't the point anyway; the point was to cuddle close to his sister, hold her hand, and remember that she was there too.

They were out now, and she was far away, doing her Navy thing. They wrote and spoke on the phone, but it wasn't the same without her hand to hold.

He sent her a copy of his key anyway, every apartment he leased.

Just in case.

It's kind of cliche to bead keys right now.

But.

This made me want to bead a bunch and cuddle them close to my heart. I just love it!

Oof. At least they had each other.
