|Chapter 5 • Fireflies & Shadows|

He dragged you into a forests that you got all of your supplies from. At first you were really confused and you tried asking him why he was takin you there, but he'd just ignore your question.

After a couple of minutes he pointed at some kind of small lights. It took you a second to realize that they were fireflies.

"Woah... they're so.. pretty-" You managed to say.

"Just like you." Mumbled Wilson.

"H-huh..?" You blushed and looked at him. You couldn't really see his face, because of the dark, but you knew that he was blushing.

Suddenly you felt something, like a hand, grab your upper thigh. You blushed even more but felt uncomfortable at the same time.

"Erm.. Wilson."

"Yes, [Y/N]?"

"Can you let go of my leg..?" You asked and looked away.

"What do you mean, my hands are not even near your legs..?" He said as he gently grabbed both of your hands.

"T-then what is touching me-?" You gulped.

Wilson quickly let go of your hands and took out a torch. He set it on fire.

As he did a lot of creepy looking shadow creatures and hands started disappearing.

"What the hell..?!" You squeaked as you got closer to Wilson and rested your hand on his chest.

"Let's just go back to the camp, okay..?"

"Okay.."

He grabbed you by the hand and walked back to the small camp with you.

He set the camp fire on fire (..?) and sat on the grass. You just casually sat down next to him.

"Are you alright.?" He asked as he turned his head to face yours.

"Y-yes.. I didn't know that we were surrounded by some kind of 'monsters'.." You sighed and brought your legs to your chest.

Wilson didn't say anything and looked forward. "It's all my fault.."

You looked at him and tilted your head.

"I decided to make this stupid machine and then activate it when you were with me... I don't want you to get hurt.. or even worse, killed..." He said still looking forward.

He was right, it was kind of his fault, but how was he supposed to know that the machine was some kind of portal..? He's just a small innocent bean..

"It's alright," you said as you rested your head on his arm. "At least I'm not stuck here all by myself. I'm stuck here with you."

You looked up at him, his pale face was slightly pink, it made you smile.

You slowly closed your and before you knew it, you were asleep.

Wilson's POV
                                  •-----•-----•

We spent some time sitting next to the fire. It was awfully quiet..

"Hey, [Y/N] -" I looked at her and saw that she was asleep. She was sleeping on my arm; cute..

I tried waking her up but I failed. That meant I had to carry her to the tent..

And I don't know if you know, but I'm not one of the strongest people. Even [Y/N] once told me that I have 'noodle arms' or something- she spends too much time on the Internet..

I took her arm and wrapped it around my neck, then, I slowly and gently stood up while picking [Y/N] the bridal style.

She wasn't heavy, but she wasn't light either. Or maybe I'm just this weak..?

I slowly took her to the tent, placed her down and put a blanket over her.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything harm you."

I whispered and hugged her from behind.
