WARNINGS: shonen-ai, Mild ItaSasu if you squint hard enough—well, it's kinda obvious if you know what you're looking for.

Cold.
Swift.
Choking.
It surrounded him, pulling him under.
Entering through eyes, nose, and mouth.
Try as he might, he couldn't escape.
Couldn't even break free.
Confining.
Alienating.
Sheltering.
Embracing.
It seeped through everything, grasped at anything.

Fingers twitching, searching for a kunai which is n o t t h e r e
Blackblack eyes deepening, turning bloody-red.
Worn-out arms fumbling beside him, striving to just r a i s e h i m u p
Stronger arms pinning him down, soft words crooning in his ear, alien heartbeat hammering in his mind.
His mouth opening, weakened rasp coming out.
Finger pressed against his lips only to drop away, ohsosoft lips capturing his own.
Bloody-red eyes fading back to deepest black.
Closing.

Well, that was probably the most spontaneous thing I've ever written.
It's amazing what you can come up with when you're possessed by in-school hatred.
I like reviews. Most reviews like me. Is it so hard?
Can't I get introduced to new reviews? Please?
…Anyone there at all?
