Through It All... (Agent 8 x Agent 3) [FINAL BOOK]

Chapter 4 ~ Loving Moment In A Disaster

Agent 8's (Mike's) P.O.V:

"I think Isabel and I will give you two some space.." Jake muttered uncomfortably, standing up along with Isabel. I couldn't blame them however, the atmosphere was tense, and no one was comfortable enough to exchange any words.

Sarah had distanced herself as we hid behind the counter of the abandoned cafe. She was sitting next to Isabel, but now that they left, she sat in front of me silently. Sarah swiftly tucked her hair behind her ear and crossed her arms as she looked down.

"We'll find the refugees. We'll be back Sarah, Mike." Isabel sighed, picking up their respective weapons and stepping away.

The door ringed as it closed.

I saw their in silence, wondering what to do or say. I had clearly upset my beloved inkling, and she wasn't in the mood to talk with me.

"Hey babe...Are you okay?" I asked looking up, just to find myself staring at her pretty green tentacle hair.

"I'm fine," she mumbled. Her arms still remained cross.

I set my hair to the side and stood up to move. Slowly, I sat next to her and stared at her. Her eyes looked upset, worried and scared. I let out a soft sight, "Don't lie to me Sarah, please tell me what's bothering you.." I asked.

Sarah stayed silent for a moment, before ultimately deciding what to say. "I'm upset at you because of what you did. You had me so worried and scared because I didn't know what you were doing, nor did I know where you went. You could've been splatted you know? Or even captured. I don't even know what I would've done if either of those things would've happened. It was just really reckless, even for you."

Agent 3's (Sarah's) P.O.V:

I was upset at him. I won't deny that.

His reckless maneuver and idea could've gotten him splatted. Just the thought of it sent shivers up my back.

I was scared to lose him in any way.

"What if he was captured? What if he wasn't able to get away? What if his plan failed? What if he got splatted?"

"I know that if I was worried about you, I should be happy right?" I asked, turning over to look at Mike's eyes. His jaw tightened and gave a quick and brief nod. "I understand that, but I can't help but feel scared. We're in a horrible situation right now, and seeing you do things so reckless without giving it a second thought, scares me."

Mike nodded along, looking at me in the eyes with sincerity. My heart warmed up to him a bit more, as I noticed that he was actually paying attention and understanding what I was saying.

"Please Mike. Please remember that this is no longer a Ranked or Turf War match. We can't be doing risky stuff like that. We're already losing our home as we speak...I don't want to lose you either.."

I could feel my throat tightening and tears welling up in my eyes. In an effort to stop the tears, I clenched my fists tight.

"I'm sorry I worried you so much..It wasn't my intention.." Mike whispered softly so that it would help with calming me down.

Gently he placed his arms around me and embraced me tightly.

"I won't leave you Sarah. You won't lose me. I promise." Mike whispered, gently moving my hair out of the way and pecking my cheek.

I couldn't help but give out a light giggle as I rested my head on his chest. His heartbeat was very calming as well.

"Thank you Mike," I sighed happily, now almost back to normal. "I love you.."

"I love you too, Sarah."

He placed his finger under my chin and motioned my head upwards so that I was now staring at him face to face. I found myself admiring him, his octoling hair, his adorable crimson eyes, his lips, just everything. It didn't seem like I was the only one getting lost in his eyes, because he stayed there, admiring mine as well.

I soft smile appeared on his face, with a faint pink blush taking place on his cheeks. I smiled widely at the sight.

With his hand, he slowly pulled my head closer to his  while he leaned in. I already knew what was coming up, so I closed my eyes and prepared my lips as I neared his.

Mike placed his lips on mine, while mine were placed on his. We stayed there for a moment, kissing and holding each other dearly, not wanting this moment to end. When we do this, it reminds me of our peaceful  and tranquil life before all of this mess. I can't help but think about our first kiss either.

Agent 8's (Mike's) P.O.V:

I couldn't help but admire the gorgeous inkling before me. She was just way too beautiful. So I can't tell you happy it made me when we had kisses once again.

After we separated from the kiss, Sarah let out a giggle.

"What's so funny?" I chuckled, the smile not leaving my mouth. "Hehe, it's just that this reminds me of our first kiss in a way. Remember?" I felt my face heat up as my brain processed the words that had just left her mouth. "How could I not? It was our first kiss." I smiled. Sarah nodded along with what I said, and gave a loving grin. "We always have a lot of sincere moments whenever we're working." She laughed.

Hearing her laughter again after everything that had happened in such a short amount of time was like music to my ears.

"Y-Yeah, it's always during work huh?"

After a couple more minutes of us talking, I stood up and reached out my hand. Sarah looked up, her bright emerald eyes glistering as she smiled. Her little fangs looked so cute when Sarah smiled. Without hesitation, her hand reached out for mine and I helped her up to her feet.

"C'mon Sarah," I grinned. "Let's save Inkopolis together."

"Right!" Sarah exclaimed happily, before pecking me on the cheek again.

We walked around the counter and headed on over to pick up our weapons.

"Where do you think they could've gone?" Sarah asked, looking both ways of the street. I was doing the same and gave a confused shrug. "I don't have the slightest idea."

"Let's just hope they're safe."
