All you noticed was the darkness; all you could feel was the cold and painful sensations, eating away at your skin, attempting to destroy you. Your mind told you that something was wrong, but you didn't know what.

As your senses seemed to sharpen, you began to remember: the bits and pieces started to assemble themselves in your mind, just like a puzzle being worked upon. You could remember all the pain and suffering you went through, and you began to realize that you couldn't find the strength to move your fingers.

You could only guess how much time passed as you struggled to do something, anything, with no success. Your mind began to become weary and you come to find yourself slipping off into a light slumber.

Something disturbs you, waking you from your sleeping spell. You again feel the unbearable cold, but this time its different. Your chest starts to warm up, becoming filled with such wonderful warmth as your mind races to find the answer to why you managed to regain your consciousness. That's when you hear it; such a familiar voice that you cannot place, calling out your name, worry dripping through the strong waves of his sound.

You begin to realize who the voice belongs to and your heart begins to beat faster, the joy of your memory circulating through your body. He picks you up gently and you can feel the flow of air against your skin and hair as he carries you to some unknown destination. His breath traveling in light puffs of clouds travels toward your cheeks, sending its comforting warmth to your body.

Your begin to lose track of time, drifting off into the depths of your mind once again until his voice calls you back to reality. You experiment with you control, finding that you can manage to move some of your fingers. Feeling the gratitude of the moment, you find that your eyes are slowly opening, finding his face leaning over you with worry in his eyes. As he realizes your light stare, he begins to smile in relief. You open your mouth to speak, but he shakes his head, telling you that you should conserve your energy for later.

You realize that he is right and find yourself falling back into the abyss of your self. When you reopen your eyes, you find yourself under the night sky, leaning against his chest. You feel yourself start to blush as his hand makes its way through your hair in a comforting motion. You shift your position to cling to his body for more comfort, as his arm comes around you, pulling you into a tight and protective embrace.

You smile to yourself and imagine that he is doing the same. You take in a deep breath only to have him take you into a short yet loving kiss. You blink as his smile grows, feeling his love seep out of his body, warming and comforting your nearly lost soul. You sigh in contentment and hug him.

"I love you", you whisper lightly into his chest. You feel his loving gaze on you as he gently rubs your back.

"I love you too, Strife"
