[chapter 8]

Figures pov:

As Seek let go of my hand to walk up to the supposedly other set of doors, I stood silently. I felt... tired. I felt slightly excited and interested by the fact we were going to explore a new part of the hotel, but barely. I thought for a moment and realized we should've told Halt about what we were planning before we tried opening the door, then again we didn't know if the code would work.

After a moment of silence, there was a click and the sound of a lock falling off doorknobs. There was silence again. "oh my god...-" Seek said under his breath with an obvious tone of excitement in his voice. I straightened my posture to at least seem slightly excited, when truly I didn't really want to explore, and I didn't exactly know why. Seek had approached me quickly. "Come on, let's go." Seek said impatiently. I tilted my head slightly. I had doubts about this. "Seek... what if we find something dangerous. And there's no doubt we'd get in trouble for not telling Halt."

There was another moment of silence before I heard Seek continue "Please? I know it'll be risky but that's what seems the most exciting about this." I sighed, nodding, as i didnt want to upset Seek since that were the last thing I wanted. The second I nodded Seek had grabbed my hand and we had started trotting slowly through the large oak doors. As we walked, nothing had felt different yet. It felt the same as the other doors, smaller. I enjoyed the fact Seek took his time walking through each and every door. As we walked, I began to feel more consumed in my thoughts.

Walking in the silence, holding hands with the man I love most. I felt my heartbeat quicken at the thought of this. After a moment, I felt my hands get sweaty. I let go of Seeks hand as we halted, "sorry." I apologized as I wiped the sweat off onto my chest. I stuck my hand out again as Seek grasped it. "...It's okay, no worry." He reassured. we continued to walk for what seemed 5 more doors, until Seek suddenly stopped. "Seek? Are you alright?" I asked, confused on his sudden halt of our walk.

"This door... is different." I faced him and tilted my head. "What do you mean?" I questioned as his grip on my hand lessened slightly. "It's metal. Made of bars, but not like the cell doors in those other rooms." I listened to his explanation. "Should we go... check it out?" I suggested even though I hadn't really wanted to go further into the hotel. "Of course." He said as he tugged my hand and he started walking again, I sighed quietly. As we approached the supposedly new looking door, the sound of rain became louder, and there were a draft of cold and wet feeling air. Seek paused to open the metal door, and in a result there was a loud annoying screeching of the hinges, I had flinched at the sudden sound. The shorter entity continued as I ducked under. "Woah..." Seek wowed, "What is it?" I wondered curiously "We're outside!" Exclaimed the inky humanoid. I straightened up, this explained the damp and cold feeling air, and the sound of the rain pattering getting increasingly louder.

"Come on. I've always wanted to know what it felt like standing in the rain." He said as he pulled me, or practically dragged me forward. The flooring of the "outside" area felt like concrete, so that's what I assumed it were. And as we continued to walk Seek turned to the right. "Figure, there's a statue..!" Seek sounded incredibly excited by the concrete figure. "Really? What does it look like?"

"It's... tall. It's on a podium of some sort and is holding a sword. It has... Angel wings." I imagined what the statue looked like in my head to his description, it sounded interesting. "hm, cool." I said quietly, and tiredly. Seek took notice to my behavior. I felt him turn to me. "Figure, are you really sure you're okay?" He had asked me again, I nodded slowly. "of course. I'm just... a little tired." I excused, it only being partially the truth. He stayed silent, my heartbeat quickened knowing he didn't believe it. "I know you're lying, Figure... Really, what's wrong...?" He questioned sternly but tried not to sound intimidating. I couldn't let him know the truth. "Why would I lie? I'm just tired, alright?" I explained as calmly as I could, he sighed. "Alright.. but if there's anything bothering you, please tell me." I breathed out a long breath of relief. A few seconds passed by as Seek continued to walk.

"Careful, there's a few steps." Seek warned as we walked out of what seemed to be a covering of some sorts. I shivered as suddenly millions of water droplets pattered against me. As we walked further out into what seemed to be an enclosed area, I heard Seeks heartbeat quicken, which what I could only assume was because this were the first time he had felt the rain, and so it were mine. As the rain hit against us both, we stood there in silence taking in the calming sensation of being in the rain. "I love this..." The shorter entity whispered. If I had the ability to smile, I would've been. He used the word I taught him. I nodded in agreement. I felt at peace standing here, with him. I thought for a moment, this would've been the perfect time to tell Seek how I feel. I was consumed by just my thoughts again, unaware of the surroundings. I felt like confessing to him, but I knew he wouldn't feel the same. Right?

I needed to tell him. I suddenly zoned back in but all I could think about were my feelings for Seek. I had slight courage, but I had no idea how to even begin on how to tell him. Should I just spill all my feelings out...?I hadn't cared if he didn't like me back at this point, the secret was too much to keep to myself. I sighed, facing my face to him. I had loved him so much... But, I had figured we should get back to the library.

Seeks pov:

I shut my eye as rain hit against both me and Figure. God, I loved this feeling so much. I love this. I love him. The word felt more recognizable and I understood it a bit more. I loved him, and that was that. But... He probably didn't love me back. I pushed the thought out my head. I needed to enjoy the moment I had right now, the moment of holding hands in the rain for the first time with the man I wanted to experience love with. I appreciated him so much... I had felt calmer with him.

Suddenly, he turned to me. "Don't you think we should head back to the library? If we stay any longer, It'll be no doubt Halt'll find out." I looked down, I wanted this moment to last forever, but it were right. "Yeah, let's go." And with that, we started our journey back to the library.

(After they returned to the library)

I lead Figure through the large open oak doors of the library, as I stopped and Figure walked a few steps ahead of me, standing patiently. I turned around and so did he. I went up to the door and pulled it's heavy entrance closed, crouching down and picking up the heavy metal lock, putting the metal bar part through the two rusted gold handles. I reset the code as I locked it, standing back up and turning back to Figure. As we stood there, I admired him for a moment. But I realized he probably found this moment weird, so I broke the silence.

"We should probably go put the books back on the shelf." Figure nodded. He still had seemed awfully quiet... He did say he were tired, but I didn't believe it one second. I needed to know what were wrong with him. But, I brushed it off. We both started to put the books back on the shelves, but made sure to make it slightly obvious which ones were which for the code.

After around 10 minutes, we were done putting them back where they had belonged. I went over to the couch nearest to his desk and sighed heavily, plopping down on the cushions. Figure had walked over, stumbling slightly. He felt the couch around for a moment before sitting down next to me. "I'm really tired..." Figure said, I agreed with him. As we sat there in the silence, I felt sleep tugging at me. As I was dozing off, I had realized that I were next to Figure. My heartbeat quickened again. I opened my eye and looked over at Figure, the taller entity was already asleep.

I didn't want to bother him, so I left him alone. I was sitting next to him. I felt my cheeks become suddenly warm, he's just so... so cute. So loveable. So... perfect. I still felt extremely tired, and I didn't want to leave him here alone, so I adjusted a bit and laid my head on his shoulder. My heart fluttered... I knew that when he woke up I would be probably embarrassed, but... I hadn't cared. As I laid there next to him in silence, fell asleep. Next to him.
