Title: Kaleidoscope
Characters: Fuji Yuuta
Summary: Playing Echizen changes everything.
Notes: Characterization drabble. Gen. Spawned, actually, from reading fic in a fandom a long, long way away from tenipuri. 100 words on the nose.

~~~~~~~~~~


Kaleidoscope

One set with Echizen, three games to six, breaks everything Yuuta knows into pieces. For eighteen months, he's defined himself against his brother's patterns. He'd told himself that he was taking charge of his life; now he can see the ways in which fitting himself to the negative spaces around Aniki have been constraining him.

It's a discomforting realization.

It's also freeing.

Yuuta doesn't know yet which pieces he'll keep or discard or build from scratch, or what acting instead of reacting will look like, but he thinks he's going to like the new pattern that comes out of it.

ooh. I love the line about Yuuta fitting himself into Syuusuke's negative spaces; it's so beautiful. I love the whole extended metaphor, really.

Ps. Fic in which fandom, exactly? *wants to know*

*.* *.* I am so stunned that you can put so much emotion in 100 words
