Atlas and Leviathan swam for their lives as the monstrous beast chased after them.
Leviathan tugged on the other boy's wrist, pulling him into a nook in the wall. As the creature swam past, the two boys stood inches apart in the small spot.
"Fuck, are you ok?!" Leviathan looked down at Atlas.
He shakily nodded.
"Let's wait for a little bit before moving again - I'd rather not get chased by that thing again..."
"You can say that again," Atlas' voice shook with fear.
Leviathan scooted a bit down to reach eye level with the other.
"You sure you're OK? You look, well, not the best..." Leviathan gently cupped Atlas' cheek in an attempt to comfort him.
This only made Atlas go red like a pomegranate.
"Whoah! Are you ok? You're burning up!"
"I'm fine, Levi..."
"Who?"
"You! It's a nickname!" (Thank you, Atlas, because I'm getting tired of just writing Leviathan)
Leviathan's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but his gaze quickly softened.
"Thank you... it's... great. I mean, you came up with it, so that's basically a guarantee."
Now, dear reader, if you listen closely, you can actually hear Atlas screaming inside.
