"Skull, before I do this, if you don't want to see me ever again I would understand."

"I would never." He said planting a kiss on the corner of my lips. His thumb tracing my cheeks.

"Ok then." I pulled out my lighter.

"Wait, would you accept me even for who I was?" He asked.

"Of course." I said knowing I would. Skull and I always talk at the underground for hours. He was one of the reasons why I look forward to coming here.

I took inspiration from the Stephan King Novel The Mist which was also adapted into a movie and Netflix series.
