But remembering it right in that moment? That was nearly impossible. Not when he was still watching his brother's skin seem to go ashy, just before his eyes. Not when he was still remembering the light in the Titty Twister.
Seth's brow drew in suddenly, his expression darkening. "Don't fucking say that. You are not fucking cursed, Richie." Because he's never said just that before. Or insinuated it numerous times.
For a long time he just stares at his brother, hating to hear Richie say that. Even if he's said it. Even if in ways it is true. Yet his brother isn't cursed, and he's not listening to that shit. Even as he rolls his eyes.
"And don't think I didn't catch that for the weakness joke that it was," he says, even if it wasn't. It was easier making dumb comments than dealing with the thoughts going through his head. The ones where he was facing what it was like to realize that maybe he really is being a selfish bitch to fight so hard never to end up like Richie.
