chaddick shouldn't.
but he does anyway.
the surface of the water looks so dark and hard, like the night sky, chaddick is struck with the thought of his finger striking the surface hard but it sinks into the water easily.
he doesn't know what he expected, when nothing happens.
then, the dark blue fades into navy. a blue. a uniform. chaddick is left to stare pointlessly at the awful image. it doesn't matter if it's his wish. it's still awful compared to the reality.
nick smiles from the pond, hair loose and curly, not gelled back. everboy uniform, not his princely black one. expressive brown eyes wide open, not shut.
chaddick thinks he prefers him, a mirage, more then the brutal reality.
