-Two To Tango-

"atmosphere to tears" (9)

Amber was just wiping Eula's sweaty forehead with a wet towel, signaling to Eula that something happened while she was sleeping. She was fully clothed, and so was Amber. Eula was also still lying on the bed, but for the first time in a long time, her forehead felt... unusually hot. Eula never knew what caused these things. Her usual body temperature was supposed to be cold and her skin would be pale cold as well. 

"Eula.. I think something's wrong.. You've been sweating and tossing and turning for the past 2 hours.."

"I-It's nothing much.. Just me overreacting to.. ugh.. nightmares.. again.."

"Again? But I've never seen you in this kind of high temperature before..?"

"It's fine, Amber, really. I'm used to these kinds of reactions." Eula pushed Amber's hands away from her face. Amber felt rejected. She knew that no matter how hard she tried to help Eula solve her problems, Eula would reject her in such a rude way. She couldn't leave her alone at the same time either. But Amber tried to push those thoughts out of her mind. 

Eula looked at Amber's sad looking, honey-colored eyes, and placed a hand on her head. No matter how rude Eula was to Amber, she swore to the gods she would never forgive herself if she hurt this innocent little bunny of hers so badly. Eula's muscles felt numb with pain. She grit her teeth and exhaled loudly. She was gasping for breath now, now that she had exhaled so loudly and with so much strength. 

"Eula? What's wrong?" 

Eula could feel the atmosphere around her drop, and she was having a hard time breathing now. She tried to get up and walk outside to get air, but ended up laying on Amber's soft, embraced shoulders. Eula felt like she was floating, and the stars were above her, doing the ring-around-the-rosy. She felt Amber's arms picking her up and setting her on a soft, but quite hard surface. She assumed it was the couch in her living room. Amber put her hand on Eula's forehead, checking her temperature to check if she is okay. It was very hot, not the usual cold it was supposed to be.

"Hold on Eula.. Stay with me..!"

Eula was feeling far too dazed to stay up. The darkness underneath her feet (at least that's what she thought it was) began to swallow her whole universe up. She held onto Amber for support, although Amber doesn't know why she was clinging onto her. Beads of sweat were dropping down Eula's face as more of her memories played in front of her. If she didn't want to collapse into a deep nightmare, she would have to watch the past play right in front of her eyes. 

A fire. A scream. Fog. Blood. At the sight of this, Eula dug her nails deep into Amber's clothing. Amber shuddered, not feeling any pain, but surprised that Eula was still awake. 

"Hey.. are you seeing things? Eula?" Amber shook Eula gently and flipped Eula around to face her. The knight's eyes were half-open, but she didn't seem like she was awake. All of a sudden, Eula.. was.. crying? Tears were streaming down her face and dripping down on Amber's clothing. 

"HEY! DON'T FEEL SO SAD!!! I'M SORRY!!" Amber used her thumb to wipe off the tears dripping down Eula's face. She hugged her close, planting kisses on her forehead while doing so. Eula was scared, knowing that she has brought shame upon the Lawrence Clan from the last 4 months. She was supposed to date a man, and eventually get married if she could. But she chose the route that would not satisfy her parents. Amber's warm hands were comforting her, making Eula slowly fall asleep..

(sorry ya'll i'm losing motivation :(()
