Somehow even in the relative darkness of the area, the blood was still vivid and caught his eye immediately. The world had gone completely silent but the gunshots were still echoing in Warren's ears as he pulled himself to his feet. It didn't take long for Warren to cover the distance to where Nathan was slumped over; his body was limp when Warren wrapped his arms around the other boy.
"What the... hell?" Nathan's voice was weak, like it was coming from somewhere very far away.
Warren's brushed the few stray hairs off of his boyfriend's forehead so he could place a kiss on it. Nathan's hand found Warren's arm and tried to take hold of it but he didn't have enough strength to squeeze it.
"I thought you were dead."
There was a moment of silence before Nathan responded: "I probably am."
"I know, I saw it happen. And you just left me to die alone, you're so rude." Warren sniffed dramatically, petting Nathan's head while the other guy was still groggy enough to let it slide. The moment didn't last and soon Nathan pushed Warren away, stretching in his chair.
"Well what the fuck do you expect?" he asked, yawning, and looked at the computer monitor; flashing red text announced the mission failure in capital letters.
"Your stupid games are so boring."
