"The Last Of Us" : A Team Crafted Story (DISCONTINUED! READ LATEST UPDATE!)

Chapter 3- Lovers

"Ty, you need to calm down... shhhh..." Adam quietly spoke, being gentle with the young teen cradled in his arms.

More sobs came from his mouth as he buried his face in the blanket Adam had wrapped around them both carefully and effectively.

"I'll leave you be," Seto exclaimed, turning around and heading out of the room before shutting the door.

"You'll be just fine, Ty..." cooed the Butter Lord, pushing a peice of hair from Ty's eyes- which were thankfully normal.

Shaking, the brunette nuzzled into Adam's chest.

The two sat there with the only sounds coming from little Ty. It was eerie in a way... and Adam couldn't explain it. Why did he feel the need to not hold this precious love of his? Why did he feel a strong energy coming and going? Is his lover sick? Glancing down at Deadlox, he placed a gentle hand on his back and rubbed it. Ty shifted and stopped crying, only sniffling now.

"S...Sky?"

"Yes my Ty?"

"I... There's something I h-haven't been telling you..."

Adam got a bit more comfortable and listened to what he had to say, about how the nightmares made poor Ty feel.

A growing uneasiness hung in the air around them that neither could explain. Adam was now equally worried as Seto, and perhaps so much more.

Is something dreadful going to happen?... He asked himself.

Before long, Ty drifted back to sleep in his strong arms.

"Goodnight, My Ty~" whispered Adam softly, planting a kiss on his forehead and he too falling asleep.

Morning came sooner than expected for Adam- then again, it was nearly 4 in the morning when he comforted Ty.

Seto entered the room quietly and glanced at the two of them sleeping.

"Morning you lovebirds~" He yawned, causing Adam to yawn as well.

"Morning Seto... sleep well?" He replied, carefully laying Ty to the side and putting on proper clothes- which consisted of his usual armor-type apparel.

"I did sleep well, but... I'm worried about Ty," Seto answered, glancing over at the still asleep brunette.

Slipping on his amulet, Adam sighed and said, "I'm worried too... should I add some extra guards to make sure he's safe?"

"Nonsense, Ty is very capable of protecting hinself... I mean, he even pledged to be your second-in-command."

What Seto had said was true indeed, Ty made a promise to uphold protection. In retrospect, Adam was the one to protect Ty.

"Yes... I know... I just, can't explain it in words... I'm just... worried... very..." He struggled.

"If that is what you wish, then do so," nodded Seto, leaving the room once again and changing into his Sorcerer robe.

Outside was very warm and inviting, welcoming Ty with open arms.

At least out here it's happy... thought Ty bitterly to himself. Unlike my mind...

"Ty, want to go swimming?" Asked Quentin from somewhere to the left of him, climbing onto the bank of a lake nearby the Butter Palace.

"I'm fine, thank-you..." Deadlox replied softly, walking out into the forest mindlessly. He could feel Husky's gaze in his back, boring into his soul and wondering just what the hell he was doing.

Thing is, Ty didn't know either.
