Safety And Peace

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It felt like such a fragile union. Mike worried that if he took his eyes off of Josh for a second, everything around them would melt away and he'd lose him again. The trembling elder male pressed to his chest, arms wrapped around him and hands clenched tight into his green jacket, mumbling wishes of safety and 'I didn't mean to's.

"Josh, shh." Whispered the stronger brunet, pulling him impossibly close and holding his breath. Resting his head against that strong chest, the panicking brunet managed to close his eyes and quiet his sobs, shaking shoulders soothed by rough hands. The Wendigo waited, screeching for the prety that had been there just seconds before. When there were no responses, it moved in its eerily human gait for another part of its lair, and Mike began slowly walking backwards, leading Josh back towards the door.

Wading through the water slowly, he was sure to have the quivering hand of his friend's in his, this time. He wasn't about to lose another person to that thing, and especially not Josh.

The rest of the night was a blur. All Mike knew was that he hurt in places he didn't know could feel pain. What he remembered the most, however, was the feeling of the other man's hand in his, his head on his shoulder, and the soft whispers of 'we made it.'
