Written for Stratego - Table Two [Alys vs. Haley], The Matchmaker Game Challenge - Open to Sign-Ups, and Fanfiction Marathon Competiton/Challenge.
One of the prompts I got was [genre] Adventure, which was pretty hard to write, but hopefully I did a good enough job. Did I?
Seamus looked over at Lavender cautiously. Her head was bowed as a thousand and one thoughts ran through her head. Seamus knew the feeling, it was what he was going through too. Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be them? What was it about them that made them safe, that made them the proper candidates for this job?
Well, aside from the fact that it appeared they were the only two people on Earth that were immune to the effects of the Eye, the only people that could safely go to the Cave and stop it.
On one hand, Seamus was glad that Lavender, of all the people it could be, was safe from the effects. On the other, this put her in even more danger for everyone who was hypnotized by the Eye wanted to kill her because of It's orders.
On impulse, he nearly sprinted towards her to bend down to kiss her. For a minute, she was surprised. Soon enough though, she melted into him and him into her. She tasted like cinnamon sugar and smelled like clover, and Seamus didn't know how he could be so lucky as to have her.
He didn't see how anyone could be.
