after all that drowned out they all went there separate ways I stayed behind for a moment to get some spear equipment all sorta in case we need it at a later date. when putting one of the cameras on the shelf I felt two arms wrap around me, and a chin rest on my shoulder. looking towards my shoulder I saw lin cuddling in.
"your not pitying me are you?" I asked sadly, I don't know which is worse being deemed a curse or being pitied and you might think that's crazy and that the curse is definitely the worst but I just don't know.
"no. I just wanted to hug my..." he stopped, his grip on me loosened slightly. I could feel his confusion. "saying friend feels weird." he let out as he let go of me. i turned to face him and smiled at him.
"and why's that? I thought we were friends?" I put on a pout along with a sad tone, an obviously fake sad tone.
"friends don't do what we do." he starts to get a bit shy, his voice is almost a whisper. i grab his arm and pull him closer before then going on my tip toes to kiss him on the lips. his arm snakes around my waist and his other hand goes and cups my neck. the kiss is passionate but not too heated. yet. my hands were in his hair playing away, messing it up. we had to separate for air. fucking oxygen. I smiled as I tried to normalize my breathing. "friends don't do that."
"maybe they should you taste like coffee." I giggled at my own comment, he chuckled before he began to place sweet kisses down my neck. "lin" his breath shook
"i like that" he breathed out against my skin.
"your name?"
"when you say it." he continued his kissing me.
"were at work." I told him as I pushed away so I could make eye contact with him. "when we get home we can do whatever." he smiled at me and nodded his head. "how about we make it fun? if you can hold off from everything for the rest of this investigation to the time we get home YOU can do whatever YOU want. but if you falter I get to do whatever I want." he pondered on the idea for awhile before smiling and nodding at me with a huge grin on his face.
and with that I ran off to meet the others, only problem was that once I left the room and the door was closed behind me I felt this pain like a hand on my throat slowly squeezing. I couldn't breath, after a good-or rather bad minuet I felt light headed and breathless.
"your in the way." I heard a gruff, old voice. despite the dissipating eye sight I could still see no one was around, except that old lady from the beginning when we all sat at the table and I was asleep on the sofa, she was coming around the corner. not wanting to look like a weirdo in front of a possible business partner, I pulled my hands to the air where normal hands would be chocking me and focused my energy there.
"hello your the remarkable girl from the shibuya group aren't you?" she asked as she approached me. the feeling just disappeared, my breath came back and I felt free.
"well I wouldn't say remarkable all i remember is leaving early to pee but yea I'm with them." free and sarcastic just as I like it.
"Oh dear its quite late everyone else has gone to bed are you going too?" she so nice, like a grandma. the nice kind that has sweets in her purse.
"oh uh yea i guess it is quite late hu? " i tried to look out the window to see but this hallway is void of any. "its a bit dangerous to go around on your own isn't it? wheres your assistant?" he chuckled slightly into her hand before telling me she was in the toilet and wouldn't be long, but regardless i still waited with her till they were both together before we all left in the same direction ready to hit the hay.
sleeping didn't come easy to me, i felt like i was being watched. like closing my eyes for even a second could be my downfall. my refusal to sleep was beginning to hurt my eyes untill the strangest thing happened. lin.
he was here in the room with me he held my hand and smiled at me, just like he used to in my dreams i had awhile bac- oh - i get it im hallucinating, lins not really here. smiling down at me. and yet... its still enough to calm me down, like he's protecting me. without another thought i was out. like a light.
