Monday

Here they are, sitting next to the statue of Freddie in Roger’s garden, gazing at the stars. Roger lets out some jokes about them sitting next to a Mercury and still looking for another Mercury in the sky. Brian rolls his eyes and waves teasingly, and in one quick move he makes a "limp wrist" gesture.

All of a sudden, everything became quiet.

Noticing the strangeness, Brian looks to the side and sees Roger looking at him, an unspoken melancholy stirring in his eyes. Then Roger looks away. Ah, the limp wrist, he thought to himself after he realised that Roger still remembers…

Brian used to do the gesture to tease Freddie when he was alive.

The truth is that he didn't do it on purpose in the first place; he just unconsciously mirrored Freddie's gestures. But that didn't bother him, so he was fine with it (despite knowing that gestures are usually only done by gay people and he's not gay). One day Freddie saw him do it and thought Brian was teasing him, so later on sometimes Brian actually did it on purpose just to tease Freddie. He always laughed when Brian did that. "Mischievous Maggie May, aren't you?" Freddie once replied.

God, why does every memory of him already seem like it happened a lifetime ago?

To lighten the mood (and dear Freddie certainly doesn't want the two of them to be sad on his birthday either), Brian looks up at the large statue, chuckles, and then says aloud, "I’m sorry, I think this," he does the limp wrist again, "was actually yours, innit, darling?"

"Yet Hutton said Freddie and I were soulmates when you two existed!" Roger laughed, and the gloom vanished.

"What?"

"You and Freddie always mirror each other. Bloody hell, not only gestures, but also behaviour as well!" and they laugh along.

Then Brian sighed as if in nostalgia. "That grand old soulmate thing, you know what they say—soulmates are actually a soul split into two bodies."

He pauses. 

Funny enough, 

Freddie actually called me his soul brother.

I tried to put all the prompts together and the result is a short animation & a drabble (100+ words but we still consider it a drabble). I wrote it last week but I was busy so I couldn't draw and hence a day late. The animation effect is a bit rough (who am I kidding, very rough) because it's my first time trying something like animation, but I like the last drawing.

It's kinda blurry but I'm very proud!! (Since it's my first animation ever)
