Chapter 25

Kiss Me (Like you want to be loved)

Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in

Lie down with me
And hold me in your arms

And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love

Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
You'll be my lady

I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms

-Ed Sheeran

SNAKE EYES POV

The unimaginable finally happened. Chase and I finally said how we really felt. The fact that she felt the same she loved me, was the most incredible thing.

When she woke up in my arms, I felt whole. Like the damaged and jagged pieces of my life were finally coming together and becoming whole.

With Chase in the shower, I thought I might surprise her and make pancakes. After all she did make me breakfast yesterday. As I made the pancakes the only thing I could think about was last night. How our bodies perfectly fit together.

OOO LAST NIGHT OOO

Chase had her head resting on my chest, and her arms around me. I held her close never wanting to let go.

"You make me feel whole again Snake Eyes."

It almost sounded like a whisper. I almost didn't believe I had really heard it, but she turned her big brown eyes towards me.

I lifted my hands slightly and signed to her "chase. You make me feel again. You have brought back a part of me that I thought I would never see again. "

She stopped my hands and held them. She moved her body so that she was on top of me. She leaned her face closer to mine.

"Alyson. You can call me Alyson. "Her hair fell draping over her shoulder like a curtain.

"And I know what you mean, because you make me feel the same way"

She leaned down and kissed me. I brought her face closer to mine wishing for this moment to never end.

OOO PRESENT OOO

When she got out of the shower, I could see a smile appear on her face as she smelled the pancakes.

She put some on her plate and started eating. "Wow these are actually really good."

I smiled, did she expect anything less?

I kissed her on the cheek and made my way to the shower.

When I got out she had a conversation going on the phone, I assumed it was her brother given her demeanor, and decided I would wait for her to finish talking.

She looked at me "Did you eat yet?"

I nodded me head to tell her yes, and she smiled her brilliant smile and walked over to me.

"We need to head to Le Petit Theater"

I brought her close to me and held her in my arms and leaned my forehead on hers. I breathed her in, and closed my eyes. I put my hand on the small of her back, and cupped the side of her face.

I opened my eyes slightly to look at her, both of our breathing getting heavier. I leaned down slowly savoring the moments before our lips touched. Finally I kissed her lips, and I heard her slightly sigh.

When we broke the kiss she looked into my eyes. I loved the way she looked at me; it was the look of longing I knew I was giving her.

She turned her head, and I watched as she spotted my mask. I looked away as she reached down to pick it up.

I wish I didn't have to wear the mask, I wish we didn't do the things we do, and I wish we could be normal people who call in sick from work and spend the entire day together.

But we're not.

Instead I saw her look up at me with sad eyes, and slowly handed me my mask.

I looked at her wishing she could know everything I wisher for her- for us.

I slowly put on my mask trying to enjoy the last moments I could look at her with my eyes, and not through visors.

I felt myself tense before I could put the mask on all the way. I stopped before I reached my mouth.

I leaned in and kissed her on last time on her head, taking her in one last time. I leaned back and finished putting on my mask.

I felt myself sigh. We made our way to my bike and we rode off.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The feeling of her arms wrapped tightly around me felt safe, warm, and right. It was a feeling I wouldn't give up for the world.

We finally made it towards the building; I saw Shana and Ripcord sitting by the fountain. I could barely make out what he and Shana were saying but it sounded like "Babe I mean come on they are both to chicken to admit their feeling for each other"

I closed my eyes and tried to reign in my anger, I looked at Alyson- I smiled slightly it was nice to say her name, if only in my thoughts- and she didn't roll her eyes. I assume she didn't hear what he said or she would have threatened to kill him. So I figure it would be best if I don't bring it up.

I watch Alyson as she speaks with Shana and Ripcord about the building and the plan. To be honest I really wasn't paying as much attention as I should. I was too busy looking at Alyson and her smile.

"Sorry babe I want a ninja."

I looked at ripcord, I squeezed my eyes shut. I didn't want to be separated from her, but I would mean saving the buffoons life. And Shana did care for him, so I would take one for the team.

"Alright, you go with chase, I'll go with Snake Eyes."

I felt her looking up at me. I felt my hands stutter before saying "Be careful"

She smiled at me "Always. You be careful, please." I smiled for you I will.

She went up on the balls of her feet and kissed my cheek. I felt myself blink.

She leaned back and gave me one last look. I watched her as she graved ripcord's arm and dragged him to the entrance "We'll take the attic!"

When they were out of site Shana turned to me with a big grin on her face.

"Well, it looks like my plan worked out pretty well."

More like your diabolical plan

She laughed "Call it what you want, it still got the end result. Your happy ending."

I smiled. She lead the way towards the basement. We walk down a couple flights of stairs until we reached a door.

I heard yelling in Spanish, and I put myself in front of Shana before opening the door.

I graved my swords and kicked the door open.

Gun shots started ringing out, and I started my work.

I kept cutting them down, but it felt like there were more filing in to take the place of the last one.

"Snake!"

I turned my head to look at Shana, a big man had a knife pointed to her throat.

I made a move to come near him when she spoke.

"You come near us you masked freak, and I'll shoot her brains out! Do you understand?! It seems like your friends found Gabriel. And I'm going to need a little compensation, for ruining my plans. And you're it."

I felt a stabbing man coming from the right side of my lower back. I pulled it out and it was a dart. I felt my eyes slowly starting to close, and my knees began to buckle. I fell to the floor, and I saw Shana starting to cry.

She started screaming frantically for Chase. But I knew she would come fast enough.

I felt myself being dragged outside. I started feeling myself lose consciousness and I knew that I had to hold on, at least a little while longer.

We were outside by the entrance again, but there was a black van waiting.

They opened the doors and threw me inside. Before the doors close I saw Chase running towards the van. The doors closed and I felt the car starting to move.

As we rode off the last thing I thought about was the look of hopelessness and fear on her face. I closed my eyes and let the drug take me. I have hope that she will find me, just as I found her.
