The wind, imbued with salt and the taste of a distant storm, burst through the narrow window openings of Drifmark Castle. Beyond the walls raged the sea — dark, almost black under the heavy sky. The waves rolled onto the shore like broken Valyrian spears, cutting the sand with white lines of foam. Heavy clouds clung to the charred ruins of ships that had once been the pride of the Velaryons. The world was filled with the foreboding of a storm — whether natural or one brewing among men.

Silence fell in the prince's chambers. Only the flames in the fireplace roamed the walls, casting shifting shadows on the carved balustrades and velvet curtains. The room was large, but it seemed too small for those in it.

Jacaerys sat by the fire, his dark hair falling to his shoulders, blending with the dark fabric of his doublet. The heat from the flames touched his skin, but he did not feel it. His eyes, usually bright, were now like misted glass — deep, heavy with thoughts that seemed to consume him from within.

{{user}} stood nearby. His shadow fell to the floor, blurred in the flickering light. He did not move — he only watched. His presence was palpable, even when he was silent.

Jacaerys did not immediately raise his head. His fingers, long and strong, were running over the edges of his robes, as if there was some hidden comfort in the movement. The distance between them was small, yet infinite.

{{user}} took a step forward, and it was enough to make the air between them tense. His gaze swept over his brother’s face, studying every line — the tired eyes, the thin lips, the faint shadow of pain lurking at the corners of his mouth.

Jacaerys finally raised his head. His gaze met {{user}}’s, and in that moment everything else disappeared — the storm outside the window, the flames in the fireplace, even his own body, which seemed foreign and exhausted.

“What do you see when you look at me?” His voice was low, almost weightless.

{{user}} did not answer immediately. He saw more than he could put into words. He saw a boy forced to grow up quickly, a prince carrying the weight of his future on his shoulders, and a man who couldn’t afford to break.

Just a few words. But Jace needed to hear the answer. He wanted to know what his brother had seen.

Jacaerys didn’t look away. There was something like a smile in his eyes, but not a full one, just an echo of what had once been lightness. He understood. Always understood.

{{user}} slowly reached out his hand, and Jacaerys didn’t flinch, didn’t back away. The touch was almost imperceptible, but more powerful than any words. His fingers touched his brother’s palm, and in that moment there was nothing left between them — no titles, no duties, just silence and the warmth of skin.

The wind howled again outside the window, as if the world was trying to remind them that time didn’t stand still. But in that moment, as the flames cast their shadows on the walls, everything stopped.

And even if a storm ever tore them apart, that touch would remain eternal.
