Snippet #1652508

Akiyuki could only stare back at Chase Ryder with wide eyes as he apologized. Chase's lips were on his for a full three seconds and in those three seconds he made no attempt to push him away. He was utterly stunned, but was sure of one thing, despite the protest of the voices in his head. He wanted more. While Chase was still apologizing he threw his lips in for another kiss. One that would last much longer and hopefully continue.

Cherry's eyes popped open. He sat up quickly, then fell back down cringing at the pain at the back of his head. He reached back and felt warm squishy liquid. It was blood. He tried to sit back up, but he was too dizzy so he just laid there. Looking up, with his vision spinning, he made out the sight of Shade's lips. Cherry smiled warmly, reaching a hand up to touch them with trembling fingertips and said in a gentle tone alien to his personality. "Are...you alright?" His arm went limp and everything went black again.

"RX-78 may be one of our most powerful weapons yet. His readings are off the scale!"

"Wait! What's wrong with him?!"

"He's convulsing!"

"Director, His vitals are dropping!"

"Stabilize him, dammit! We're not going to lose another one! Especially not this one!"

When Cherry opened his eyes again he was staring at a row of broken tubes with shattered glass in front of them. "What the-" he remarked gazing quizzically at the row of shattered tubes lined up against the wall that seemed to go on forever. He looked over and saw what seemed to be a play area with rusted toys and dirtied dolls. There were large machines on the other side of the wall with pipes that looked like they once ran along the ceiling, connecting to the tubes. "Yukia...what hell is this....." Then another realization hit him. THE BOYS! "Yukia! What the hell are you doing!? Did you find the boys!?"
