This Mess - Five North

worse than that —— neither the split at his cheek,   stinging despite the gentle touch,   nor alastor’s words are the reason for his sudden stillness.     his gaze,   usually lively in emotion and color,   dulls once it sets upon a damaged instrument;     his beloved,   torn beyond repair.     he speaks nothing of it,   instead pulls his hand away from the wound, before moving towards a shelf where he kept a ‘73 vintage pomino.     “  it’s just a bruise.  ”     a smile meant for the other,   to reassure,   and fades as soon as he turns away.     fingers dance through the shelf,   linger on the bottle’s neck.     this brought up memories he’d rather not dwell on.     after a minute,   he picks it up.     “  i am sure it’ll heal just fine.  ”
