Snippet #1648537

Chase was suddenly feeling uneasy but he wasn't going to act like a baby and back out now. Creepy darkness or not. He moved to take the smallest step forward and was completely thrown off when Akiyuki yelled and grabbed his face. The boy blinked rapidly, his face flushing three different shades of pink before turning red. "Yuki...-" Chase acted on impulse and pulled Akiyuki's mouth towards his own, kissing him softly. He pulled away and frantically started waving his hands around. "I-I'm sorry, I d-don't know where that came from. I guess I was just trying to calm you down." Chase was beyond embarrassed, but pleased at the same time. He had gotten the courage to do what he'd been thinking about since he first saw Akiyuki.

Shade had his hands shoved in his pockets and was trying to think about anything but being in total darkness. He was straining to listen for any sort of noise and was startled half to death when he heard a yell. Now guided by the light of Cherry's energy orb he started walking towards where he guessed the sound originated from. In the next moment everything seemed to happen to fast he was completely disoriented for a second. The floor crumbled away and they were falling, through the darkness, but Shade could feel Cherry's arms around his body. He clung to him, even after Cherry had been knocked unconscious, Shade still held on to him tightly.

He landed on his back and the air was knocked right out of him, with a wheeze he rolled Cherry over on his back and leaned over him. It was completely dark again but he wasn't thinking about that. His mind was racing with fear that Cherry might've been seriously injured. "Hey wake up!" "Wake up!" He called out to him both verbally and mentally while shaking his shoulders. "Please wake up."
