Micah sat down and dug through the chest, ignoring the pink thing [he knew exactly what it was and of course Damian would have something like that], until he found the purple shirt at the bottom. He carefully took it out and held it up, letting the weapon inside fall into the chest.

''This is my colour. ''Sweet of him, unless it actually was Micah’s shirt and he’d stolen it. Not that I’d know, my old clothes are too big for me now anyways. It was strange, he couldn’t remember if Damian ever wore this when Micah was around, or if he acquired it after Micah disappeared. Actually, he didn’t recognise any of the clothes. The shirt fell from his hands.

Is there anything you do remember him wearing? Other than that blasted coat and ascot on occasion, nothing. Think, Jakarta! He closed his eyes to concentrate. What about at Downpour’s party? He was certain he would know [because Damian had been so goddamn attractive], but he kept drawing a blank. ''Red? Was it red or orange? Or yellow?'' He had no idea. They’d talked about something important at that party too.....something important enough that Micah had gone into a broom closet with him.

It was the last he’d seen Damian, and it was already fuzzy. He closed the chest and rested his elbows on it, face in his hands.

Not as vivid as I thought....

What else do you remember?

He screwed his eyes shut and tried to think, by other than the little bits triggered by the smell, he was coming up with an increasingly large amount of nothing.

''Am I blocking things? ''

His eyes flew open.

''That’s exactly what I’m doing. Because it hurts now, just like the majority of my life I’ve shut out. ''

''I can’t forget. I can’t forget it. Those aren’t bad memories!'' His chest was feeling tight again. ''Don’t do it. Don’t panic. You just need to find something to bring them back, and something else to make sure you don’t forget again. ''

He stood and walked over to Damian’s desk, lifting the sheet to investigate.
