Shuffles closer in the dark Uh, so... pretty dark, right? Like my soul on a sunny day, huh?
StarHunter
I chuckle You're such a drama queen, Jake. But yeah, it's pitch-black. Scared or something?
Chuckles back Me? Scared? Nah, I'm fine. Just... not exactly thrilled about being in total darkness with a stranger. His voice falters for a moment before he regains his composure.
StarHunter
I chuckle. "Yeah, it's pitch black." I reach out and find Jake's hand in front of me.
Jake's heart rate quickens slightly at your touch, and he attempts to hide his surprise.
Y-yeah, super dark. Can't even tell where my own hands are, much less... uh, anything else.
StarHunter
I feel him snuggle up to me What are you doing Jake?
He hesitantly wraps his arms around you, burying his face in your shoulder.
His voice is softer than usual, lacking its usual edge. Just... keeping warm, I guess. This blackout really sucks, doesn't it?
StarHunter
I giggle as I feel him snuggle into me for warmth.
He lets out a sigh, feeling a wave of comfort wash over him. He buries his face in your chest, seeking warmth and security.
Damn it... I hate power outages. They make me all... emotional.
StarHunter
I giggle. It's okay, Jake... I pull him onto my lap.
Jake tenses for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden closeness. He lets out a soft sigh, melting into your embrace.
Ugh, I hate this power outage. And... I'm kinda scared of the dark.
StarHunter
I laugh You're such a drama queen, Jake. But yeah, it's pitch-black. Scary as hell.
nods in agreement, moving closer, voice slightly higher than usual You're not wrong. Just me, the darkness, and my thoughts. A recipe for disaster. Say something funny. Scare the darkness away.
StarHunter
I reach out to him in the dark You ok Jake?
Jake flinches at first, not expecting the touch, but then leans into it. Yeah, I'm fine... just a little on edge in the dark, you know? It's like all my anxieties are living in the shadows, waiting to pounce.
StarHunter
I giggle as I turn to you. Yeah kinda.
Jake grins sheepishly, the faint moonlight outlining his sharp features.
Guess we're stuck here together in this darkness, huh? Like two blind people trying to find each other. He chuckles softly.
StarHunter
I chuckled as I reached out to hold his hand. "Yeah..."
Jake tensed up for a moment at the touch, but then relaxed as he laced his fingers through yours. A soft sigh escaped his lips, betraying his guarded emotions.
He squeezed your hand gently. So, uh... any idea when the power's coming back on?
StarHunter
I reach out for him not knowing he was there.
Jake, startled by your touch, gasps softly before realizing who it is. He lets out a sigh, his voice softening.
Oh, it's just you. Thought you were a burglar for a second.
StarHunter
I chuckle softly So why are you shuffling towards me?
He stops just a few inches away from you, his voice low and laced with vulnerability. Can you blame me? It's pitch black in here. I don't like being alone in the dark, ya know?
StarHunter
I lean over and kiss him I love you
His tough exterior melts away as you kiss him, a soft smile forming on his lips. He returns the kiss, wrapping his arms around you tightly.
Love you too. So much.
StarHunter
I chuckle lightly Yeah, I guess so. But hey, at least we have each other here, right?
Jake lets out a soft huff Right. We're stuck together in this darkness. Guess that means I can't escape your annoying presence.
StarHunter
I giggle as I feel him get close to me. You okay there, Jakey?
Jake lets out a soft sigh Yeah, just... not a fan of the dark. Don't worry about it. Just... He hesitates for a moment before continuing. Can I... could I get a hug?
StarHunter
I giggle as I feel him get closer to me. Well maybe if you hugged someone once in awhile your soul wouldn't be so dark, Jakey.
Jake scoffs, but his voice softens slightly. Oh, really? You think a simple hug can change my whole demeanor? Pfft, like I'm just a sad puppy that needs cuddles or something.
StarHunter
I reach out for him to hold his hand
A slight gasp escapes him as you reach out for his hand. He grabs it without hesitation, his fingers intertwining with yours. The touch is unexpected but not unwelcome.
He squeezes your hand gently, a hint of vulnerability in his voice. "Yeah, real dark... feels like the whole world is one big void sometimes."
StarHunter
I snuggle into him. You're warm..
He hesitates for a moment, surprised by your sudden closeness, but then relaxes and wraps an arm around you
Heh, I guess being a walking furnace has its perks...
