3. Strawberry Sunrise (1/1)

3. strawberry sunrise (ruby/yang)

after summer died, ruby and yang were infallible. their father never said anything about ruby crawling into yang's bed at night. they needed comfort. they were grieving.

he didn't say anything about it when they spent sunday afternoons still in yang's room, door locked, sometimes not emerging until dinner. they were grieving. they needed space.

this is what he told himself.

it was hard to come up with a sensible explanation when yang started wearing ruby's shirts around the house, even though they were much too small. but people in pain would create bizarre, inexplicable rituals to cope, right?

right.
