There was a soft snore, then another. A teenager poked her head around to look at the motionless form of another teen that was the source of the sound hugging his beloved staff close to him. " He looks so peaceful sleeping there. He needs his rest." said a voice quietly from behind her. If you hadn't recognised it as one of her friends she would have attacked the person standing behind her. Instead she turned around slowly and looked into the green, friendly, warm eyes that sparkled with life beside her.
"I suppose we all do." she replied. "It must be nice to feel like that once in a while though." She turned around and hugged the warm figure that welcomed the hug with open arms. Before she met him she would have never showed such signs of affection towards another boy, but in her eyes Eight was beyond perfect. She found him funny and charming, witty when the situation is and he ALWAYS found a way to make her smile, however dire the situation was. As she was lost in her thoughts Eight suddenly commented "Uh, Marina?" His ears turned slightly pink.
" What is it?" She replied detaching from the hug and studying his ears which had turned a bright shade of pink.
"Uh.. Well.." He scratched his cheek looking like a child who knew that they had done something bad, "I uh well...How do I put this? Well the thing is that... Well, since I've know you for a while and..." Marina cocked her head to the side wondering what he would say.
"Sort it out and get a room already will ya!" mumbled Nine who was now only half asleep. "Either get a room or outta my face! I'm trying to sleep here you know!"
At this both of them turned red and walked into the kitchen. "So what did you want to say?" Inquired Marina half hoping that he was trying to say what she thought he would. Eight took a deep breath. "What I wanted to say is that I have liked you for a while and... Iwantyoutogoonadatewithme." By this time there was no denying the awkwardness in the room and Eight's heavy blush.
"Uh.. Sure..." replied Marina who was looking rather sheepish. "Well the it's kinda the same for he as well...It started since I saw you in the water when we were in India..." She shuffled her feet whilst looking at the ground.
"Uh well, since you agreed then where do you wanna go?" he mumbled looking rather sheepish himself.
"Somewhere round here? I've never been here before and I bet you haven't. Why don't we go while we still have the chance in case..." At this she trailed off knowing that both of them feared the worst. Eight offered his arm to her and with a cheeky smile said "Do not fear my lady," he said in a cheery, false, posh accent. "I will love and protect you always and forever, even if at some point our paths part ways. Believe me. Without you my life would literally be over. Twice actually" At this she smiled again and took the offered arm. "Let us go then my dear, sweet gentleman. I will hold you to your vow. Now, let us go to Chicago!"
