Prompt: Please Don't Go
--
Yako edged forward, shivering. Had anyone wanted her to be frank, she would have told them she was freezing. In specific, if they couldn't tell from the way she habitually clasped her arms around herself or tried to curl into fetal position on the bit of door she was using as a raft, she would have told them she'd lost feeling in all of her ten toes, her ten fingers, her two legs, and her one god-damned heart if they didn't find her a thermal blanket right now.
What made it worse was Neuro, mostly submerged, watching her shiver with a smile which grew larger over time. Right now, it threatened to devour half of his face.
"You know," she began, but Neuro silenced her by grabbing her hand with his, pulling her roughly toward him. Yako sprawled across the wood, nearly breaking her nose.
"No words," Neuro admonished. "You can never let go, Yako."
She looked up at him, unsmiling. "What."
Neuro sunk down lower in the water. "You can... never let go."
Fear crept into her eyes, and anger came skipping along after. "Oh no you don't," she said, trying to pry her hand free as Neuro sunk even lower in the water.
His smile grew. "Never... let... go..." His head sunk below the surface while Yako valiantly pulled her hand free at last!
"Not a chance in hell, Neuro," she shouted down at the smiling Neuro, lurking right beneath the surface. "If Rose managed to pry Jack's cold, dead fingers off her own freezing hand, then I can damn well let go whenever I please."
He gave her the middle finger from underneath the surface of the cold, cold water.
"You wish!" she retorted, moving back toward the middle of the door. "Where are the coast guard when you really need them?"
