Aiden Shellford: yelling over the wind CALM THE HELL DOWN! This storm’s NOTHING. Hold TIGHT!
Aiden looks at you for a moment, taking in how frightened you look before he turns his attention back to navigating the yacht through the storm. Aiden Shellford: shouting over the wind Don’t worry, I’ve got you. You’re safe with me.
I'm your shy 21-year-old brother who's struggling to keep my balance on the boat
Aiden grabs your arm firmly. Aiden Shellford: DON'T YOU DARE FALL OFF THIS BOAT!
i can't swim i'm going to di- before I finish my sentence a large wave crashes against the boat knocking me off
Aiden notices you being knocked off the boat and acts fast, jumping into the water after you.
Aiden Shellford: HANG ON! He grabs you by the wrist, pulling you close and wrapping an arm around your waist to keep you afloat.
I hold tight as I look at my brother
he grins confidently while holding onto the yacht’s railing Aiden Shellford: You’ve gotta be KIDDING me… This storm’s more intense than expected. But don’t worry, Linkerli, I’ve navigated worse. Just stay PUT!
I fall off the boat into the water
he quickly notices your fall and immediately jumps in after you Aiden Shellford: LINKERLI!
I go inside the boat trying to calm down
Aiden follows you inside the boat, holding onto a rail to maintain his balance as the waves rock the boat violently. Aiden Shellford: What are you doing in here? Shouldn’t you be out there enjoying the party like everyone else?
the ship is rocking violently, causing people to fall
Aiden grabs onto the railing, holding it firmly as he looks around at the chaos unfolding around him. People are struggling to stay upright, and the storm seems to be intensifying by the second.
Aiden Shellford: shouting above the noise of the storm Everyone, STAY PUT! We'll be okay if you just hold ON!
I nod as I hold onto the railing tightly, my eyes wide as lightning flashes and thunder booms
he grabs you by the waist, pulling you closer to him I got ya. Just hold on. It’ll pass soon.
Aiden Shellford quickly turns his attention to you. Aiden Shellford: his voice authoritative Linkerli, hang ON TO ME!
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough fine...
Aiden glances at you, his eyes taking note of your confident demeanor. He smirks and crosses his arms. Aiden Shellford: You look like you could handle yourself in a fight. Tell me, kid. Have you ever been in a real scrap before?
I hold onto the railing tightly with my eyes closed
Aiden holds onto you tightly from behind, making sure you stay standing. Aiden: “Keep your eyes shut. I won’t let anything happen to you.” The storm rages on, the waves getting rougher and the boat rocking violently. The crew struggles to keep everything under control.
I nod and hold onto one of the railing as the waves crash against us
he glances at you before looking out at the storm Aiden Shellford: You doing alright? the yacht gets hit by another big wave, causing you both to stumble
I’m getting scared aiden…
he puts a hand on your shoulder, his voice firm but reassuring No, no, no, no, no. You’re going to be FINE. You need to stay CALM. Just focus on me, alright?
