Terrors in Subnautica(Complete)

Part 16: Back to The Base

Seán's POV

On our way back we came across an area of wreckage that flew a ways from the Aurora, Mark deciding we needed to stop and see what we could find. We all descended beside the wreckage where there was an opening big enough to swim through and I steady the Seamoth to get out when I realize N/N had fallen asleep in my lap.

Okay, what do I do here.

"Uh.. hey Mark?"

"What's up buddy?"

"I can't really get up."

"What? Why?"

"N/N is kind of asleep."

"So?"

"Mark," Amy interjected," She's asleep ON him."

"OOOH!!"

"Hush!" She replied," She can probably hear you."

"Oh... sorry."

"How did she end up on you?" Beth asked, in an odd tone of voice.

"When she got back inside, the huge pressure change hurt her injuries really badly and she basically fell the rest of the way in. She couldn't really move for a bit after that so I just adjusted her so I could drive."

"Huh.." Beth sighed.

Why does she sound so put off?

"Alright, you can just keep watch from the Seamoth for us." Sam answered.

"Sounds good, sorry guys."

"No problem!" Amy chirped, as they all went inside.

I let go of the wheel relaxing my arms around N/N and watched for any dangers near by. Nothing, just the regular peepers and small fish around. I look down at N/N peacefully sleeping, her head laying against my chest and her hands gently holding onto my suit.

This is the first time I've seen her sleep without having a nightmare within the first two minutes. I wonder if it has anything to do with where she is.. regardless I'm glad she's been getting rest. Although she's healing abnormally fast, she's still got a long way to go.

I pull her closer and watch out the window while I wait for the others to come back. I can hear them chattering to each other but I don't pay any attention to what they're saying. It's hard to focus on much at the moment, aside from what I can see and the warmth of N/N's body.

"Hey, Seán?"

"Yeah Mark?"

"How has she been doing?"

"She's alright, still sleeping. Surprisingly she hasn't had a nightmare yet which I'm pretty happy about."

"That's good, but not what I meant."

"What?"

"He meant, how has she been doing since the leviathan attack and the panic she had." Amy replied.

"Oh, yeah that would make sense."

I look down to her, she always seems so prominent and somewhat independent when she's awake. It's feels weird to see her curled up and relaxed.

"She's healing at an extremely rapid rate, like it's really freaky how fast she's healing. I'm not complaining though, I'm really glad about it but it kinda weirds me out."

I hear them hum in acknowledgment.

"As for the panic attack, she hasn't really told me what happened that freaked her out yet, but she's alright. Hasn't had any issues since but I've been trying to keep an eye out regardless."
