kwaldo12 and Fiction By Waldo
Characters: Dan & Casey
Prompt: 26. death
Rating: T (PG-13)
Length: medium
Brief summary: I think what I love most about this story is that Danny finally allows himself to properly grieve his brother's death, and he does it with Casey. It only further cements the fact that the two are there for each other through everything and the author does a great job of showing us that, without hitting us over the head with it. And while it's not necessarily slash, the innocent touching and emotional trust between the two has always allowed my mind to wander...
Casey reached up and grabbed his arm, pulling him around to sit on the couch near him. "You know what I've always noticed?" he asked, avoiding directly answering Dan's questions. "In the ten years that I've known you, your...default...for lack of a better word has been...sad." Casey found it a bit ironic that with all his vocabulary he was back to first grade vocabulary for the best way to describe Danny. It reminded him of the papers Charlie used to bring home from school where he had to read the sentence and then color in the face that matched the emotion the sentence evoked. Happy, sad, mad, confused...He tried to come up with something more descriptive, more specific. Morose evoked a sense of bitterness that he generally didn't associate with Danny. Despondent was too severe to be right most days. Bummed wasn't severe enough and always seemed to imply a temporary state. No...Danny was sad more often than anything else.
