Theme: Body Temperature
He was freezing. He couldn't tell if he was on shore or still in the frigid water, but he was freezing.
He couldn't feel his lower limbs anymore; for all he knew, he probably didn't have any legs anymore. He felt nothing, except the numbness of death seemingly crawling up his body.
That was when he felt it: heat. Another's body pressed close to his, arms wrapped snugly around him, chest connected to chest; he felt life.
He opened his eyes to find worried blue ones, looking back at him through gold bangs. He couldn't say anything; he couldn't move his arms, so instead, he smiled and leaned forward so his head rested on the shoulder of Naruto.
He felt the heat slowly returning to his body; the numbness ebbing away as Naruto's hand rubbed in circles on his back. Finally regaining feeling in his arms, he wrapped them around the blonde in an embrace for life, afraid to leave the heat: afraid of dying.
Naruto's body heat promised life.
