Confessions (SkyLox)

Sky and Ty stood back to back, Ty slashing and Sky keeping them as far away as possible.

TY grabbed one of them by the neck, and using one swift movement stabbed it directly in the stomach. Out of the corner of his eyes, Sky watched, smilingly his best friend as they fought side by side. They were used to the continued attacks on the Army's HQ, and we usually able to hold they off without more than a scratch or two.

Looking into Ty's eyes, his memory flooded back to Dawn, which hurt to think about. She had turned down their marriage just months before, and the thoughts of her still burned inside the bisexuals brain.

Yet, when he looked into Ty's eyes, he saw something. Something more powerful than what he ever saw in Dawns eyes, yet he could never put his finger on what it was exactly...

Sky has been so focused on Ty and his eyes, that he didn't see the squid sneaking up behind him. He gasped when he felt his budder sword being yanked out of his hands. He turned around to face a sharp blade poking his chest. A squid grasped it, and it seemed to be terrified, shaking hard. Sky put his arms up as the rest of its crew surrounded him. He was trapped...

"GET AWAY FROM MY ADAM!" A high pitched scream rang out. In a fury of yellow and orange, Ty jumped between Sky and the rest of the squids. Using his budder swords, he stabbed them, one by one. He reminded Sky of a tornado, merciless, taking out everything in its path to get to what it wants.

Ty's words replayed in the commanders head. HIS Adam?

Finally, it was just him between Sky, and the squid that hard originally grabbed the leaders sword. Using one swift movement, Ty set his sword against the others long handle and twisted his arm, forcing it out of the squids tentacles. It gasped when it clattered to the ground, and Sky made a furious scurry to pick it up. He stood at Ty's side, both of them pointing their swords out in front of them, aiming at the squid.

It cried out in terror, and flew off with a fury of tentacles. Ty smiled, and held up his palm. Sky slapped it happily, tingling at the mere touch.

"Ty, you said something about me being yours-" Adam was rudely interrupted when suddenly, a squid flew up in the air. It zeroed in on Ty, squinting its eyes. The evil creature squawked out "You brought this on yourself, Recruit!"

In a flash of blue, Ty was on the ground. A squid lay on top of him, stabbing in various places all over his body. Ty screamed in pain and anguish, while Sky watched, dumbfounded for a few moments. Everything pulsed through his head. Then, every single emotion, every single thought...

All replaced by anger towards those stupid squids.

Finally, he found his voice. "Away." He growled angrily, not daring to raise his voice "From my Ty."

He stuck his budder sword in the air triumphantly and let his arm go slack, slicing the mighty blade into the squids side.

It screamed out with pain and fell limp on its side, it's eyes closed tightly shut.

Ty lay, unconscious. His breaths were uneven and choppy ; like he could never get enough air in. The various stab wounds punctured his stomach, legs and arms deep, blood leaking out of them. The only place the squid had the decency to leave alone was his face, which was already scratched and bruised from the rest of the battle.

His eyes...his brilliant purple eyes...were only half open from the pure pain. The blood coursed through his veins, to a point where he was just numb.

"Oh god, oh god.." Muttered Sky, dropping to his knees. He ran his hand over his best friends chest, making the lieutenant wince in pain. He picked up the body slowly, placing one arm under the neck and the other under the knees.

"Ty... You'll be okay, I promise..." He whispered, cradling the limp boy nearer to him. A tear ran down, dripping off his nose and landing on Ty's shirt, dampening the area.

Ty gasped for air, his shirt now fully caked with blood. Sky stared down at him, his eyes now filled to the brink.

"Please...don't die on me...please..." Sky murmured softly, cradling the body close.

Ty's eyes slowly opened. His vision was hazy, and his sight was terrible, but he could see, even if just barely.

He saw two sunglass-covered eyes staring down at him, the mans brow dug up in worry. He let out a small smile, the pain becoming an overall numbing feeling.

"A...Adam...?" He whispered weakly, dropping head back in the leaders arms. Sky gasped and held the body even tighter. "You're alive! Are you okay?! Oh god, oh god...we've gotta get you to a hospital, ASAP... come on, stay with my till then, you've got to!" Ty's eyes were already half closed, and his chest felt like a giant elephant was pressing him to death.

"S-Sky..." He croaked out.

"Yes, Ty?"

"I...love...you..." Ty gulped down the words. It wasn't the pain, the hard breathing or even the rapid blood pulsing that caused him to stutter the words. No, it was the fact that he had been holding them in so long.

"I..." Sky sorted for the right words. Finally, he decided words weren't needed. He pulled Ty up, so if he leaned down, they would be nose-to-nose. "Does this answer your question?" He whispered, and crashed his lips against Ty's. He could feel the lieutenant smiling into the kiss, and he himself smiled weakly. He closed his eyes in bliss as their tongues battled together lightly, causing them to both relax immensely. The squids had fled as soon as they saw Deadlox's condition ; Sky guessed that was a good form of revenge for them, no need for more.

Sky slowly realized Ty wasn't moving his tongue anymore. He batted his eyes open worriedly to face his worse fear ; Ty was laying unconscious in his arms. His mouth was open a crack, blood spilling out of it like a fountain. The bangs of his blonde-orange colored hair shaded over his left eye, making him look just that much more mysterious.

Adam fought back tears as he stared down at the recruit. He wanted to burst out. He wanted to squeeze Ty till he popped and tell him he was there. But he couldn't. Instead, he slowly picked up the man in his arms.

He stood up triumphantly, a limp arm dangling by his side, belonging to deadlox.

He stared off at the bloodied place where he had been stabbed, and made one more promise.

"I promise I'll get you back to the fortress. I'll protect you. And I'll rip those squids apart piece by piece for this..."
