A/N: I cant stress how much it means to me that you ppl r reading this! Close to 100 reads!! LESH DO DIS-


[James' POV]

I squinted up to see Thomas, the man I had only met today, hovered above my face.  I blushed, god damnit, why did I blush?  That's not important James what happened.. You're in a plane,  the plane crashed.. Sweet Jesus the plane crashed!  You survived a plane crash.. where are you?  What's going to happen now? Thomas looked relieved that I was awake, he smiled weakly at me.

          I was truly sore, I couldn't function correctly yet.  I mumbled out an "Are you okay..?"  But it sounded more like, "Arsh youf okash.."  He looked at me and said, "Gonna' be honest I didn't copy that.  Whatever you said we have to get off of this plane, it's sinking, slowly but surely.."  I could tell he was trying not to panic, but who am I to judge, I'm internally screaming.  

       I unbuckled the seats belt and stood up to see a crowd of corpses, I gasped.  I fely light headed looking at them,  they all had so much more to live for.. I decided to try and ignore them, hoping that they might just go away.  This isn't some fairy tale James, this is the real world, man up!  I waded through the water.  I stopped and pinched myself try to see if this was all a dream, a joke, a nightmare.

    It wasn't.

[Thomas' POV]

    I pulled out a yellow folded rubber heap, which was all tied up together with some orange buckles.  It's lable read "WARNING: In Case of Emergency Only!  Flotation Device, fits 12 Passengers."  I looked at it gratefully, thank god.  I stared back at James who was standing in the middle of the isle standing and staring down at the floor.  "James!  Can you help me open the planes door so I can set the raft on the water?"  I called.  He only nodded and walked over.

     "W-Wait, will we h-have to swim to the r-raft..?"  He asked "No, we have to fly." I replied slyly.  He just stared at me blankly, "Not the time.."  I said.  I wanted to make us both feel better, and not so.. so.. Uneasy..  "I have a p-phobia of swimming i-in the ocean.. Thalassophobia."  He said quietly.  "Well," I put a hand on his shoulder, "That ends today."  He made a small noise of fear and I smiled.  Out of all the people to be stuck with for a while, I was happy it was James. 

[3rd Person POV]

  The 2 Young men eventually managed to open the plane door, allowing water to flow in.  They stashed as many packets of peanuts and water bottles as they could for the raft.    After telling Thomas that he couldn't do it, Thomas grabbed the smaller man's wrist and encouraged him the whole time they climbed aboard the raft. 

[James' POV]

    It was nearing night when we finally set our small raft afloat.  We sat in silence for a while until I couldn't hold it in anymore, I broke down in tears right infront of Thomas.  I just couldn't deal with this!  So much in one day!  I could be there with my family by now!  But, no no no!  I'm on a raft in the middle of the ocean.  Thomas had moved closer to me and rubbed comforting circles on my back.  He was a nice guy..

   Once the moon was in the sky it was frigid out.  I could hear both of our teeth chattering together like a choir.  "I-It's pretty c-cold.."  I managed to mumble through shivers.  "A-Agreed."  He said looking at me, "I wish w-we had b-blankets."  I said and laughed kind of.  We sat in an awkward silence for a bit, then Thomas looked up to me and said:

  "In the least gay way possible.. Would you maybe like to uhm, come over here and just uh y'know, lie together..?"  "So we're not cold!  That is.."  He added quickly and smiled awkwardly.  I strangely said okay, I strangely wanted this. 

That night I slept under the stars, in Thomas' arms.
