Description
The pushpins in Hanna's box were dwindling away, each one taken from its resting place given the duty to hold up one of his memories. He fondly remembers the time Toni and Ples formed a nifty duet, Ples on the piano and Toni singing softly behind it. He thinks that she was afraid to let everyone hear her. A tack finds its way into the margin of that photo, and he pulls another from his stack. In this one, he and Veser are trying on their silliest sunglasses. Veser had said that they were "bros for life" right before that picture was taken. The next one to be pinned to the small corkboard was of his good friend Alexander making him breakfast. Those scrambled eggs were delicious.The smile plastered on his face is one of cheek-splitting joy, one that he finds himself using more and more often. He finds a way to fit the twenty-some pictures onto his little board and stands back, his eyes bright with happiness.
Charlemagne has already gone outside, and so Hanna figures he won't keep him waiting too much longer. He grabs his coat, sliding his arms through the sleeves. As he checks his pocket for his keys he snatches his newly-found old self-developing camera, and hangs it around his neck.
From the day he found it on, he's carried it with him. He snaps pictures whenever he can, of whoever he can, so that when they're all gone and it's just him again, he won't ever have to forget about the time when he wasn't alone.

Very cute, in a very sad way. ;_; It's good to treasure them, but they won't leave you Hanna.

yanno?

Oh, and your writing, especially for fanfiction, is still great. I love how you don't give the reader all the information at once, trickling just enough to keep them reading then leaving them guessing at the end as to what you meant.

Aww, man, what a horrid little ending! I mean, it's wonderful, just so sad. Poor Hanna. I hope one day he learns that he can trust his friends to stay by his side!

Shukketsu-Sakura In reply to Eloarei [2010-03-10 01:28:13 +0000 UTC]

i don't think it's so much him trusting them to stay as it is him afraid of them getting hurt, especially by something that could have been avoided.
yanno?

Eloarei In reply to Shukketsu-Sakura [2010-03-10 01:51:27 +0000 UTC]
Yes, I guess that makes sense. But still! He could have a little faith in their ability to take care of themselves, and know that they follow him because they want to.
Lol why am I getting sentimental in someone's comments? I should stop that!

Shukketsu-Sakura In reply to Eloarei [2010-03-10 01:58:19 +0000 UTC]
that's alright, i get sentimental in my pieces and responses, so it's okay!
i think he's just afraid that he's going to do something that'll hurt them.
that's why he's always belittling himself, yanno?

Oh! I know that deviation! It's... uh... actually my Destop Wallpaper right now. xD
I like that last line -
"...he won't ever have to forget about the time when he wasn't alone. "
- Like he's honestly afraid everything is going to leave him one day, without giving too much away.

*has The Joker taking mine up right now*
i think he is.
he's been alone for a long time, and now he finally has someone to talk to, someone to laugh with...
i think he's afraid to lose that.

*sniffle* This darn near breaks my heart... that ending just about killed me. TToTT For someone who hates fan-fiction, you have a real talent for appealing to people's emotions. TTwTT
I feel so silly right now, I almost actually started... crying on the inside, this is going to sound so odd, but, it must be difficult to be Hanna - to care so much about having people around him, to live with the fear of losing someone as soon as they come along.

Shukketsu-Sakura In reply to Mr-Asquith [2010-03-06 18:34:41 +0000 UTC]
wh-why thank you!
well, yanno, so far as we know, he's been alone for a long time.
and with Hanna being the way he is personality-wise, i think it kills him to be alone.
and so now that he's finally not alone anymore, he treasures their friendship more than money or even his own well-being.
i mean, he's only known Zombie for a little while, and he's risked his life for him.
so i think that taking pictures of everyone is something that he would definitely do, so that he won't have to forget when he wasn't by himself.

Oh-- *sniff* Hanna!
I'm glad it's not just me (thinking that he's sad/scared to lose ppl). I see some of the comics, and they have Hanna being regretful or calling himself an idiot- belittling himself, basically-- it breaks my heart...
A wonderful 'ficlet' though, matches very nicely with Cacodaemonia's fanart.

Shukketsu-Sakura In reply to Deviant-Tohru [2010-03-06 18:31:15 +0000 UTC]
of course.
he tries so hard to keep them around as long as he can.
because for a person like Hanna, being alone can destroy you from the inside out.
being left alone is actually one of my very greatest fears, so i can kind of relate.
so i figure he'd try to keep as much of them around as possible for as long as he can, and pictures last a lifetime, so.
yanno!

Dreamwish [2010-03-06 05:39:46 +0000 UTC]
This is absolutely lovely, the descriptions and just... all of it. The touch of sadness is wonderfully fitting. Hanna is an interesting character like that... he seems very happy, but there seems to be a sort of bittersweet sadness to the character and I think you've captured that wonderfully here. Fantastic job!

it's one of my favorite things about him.
