Note: This was inspired by a prompt I found, which turned out to say 'the number one' in only part of it. So really this is based on the number one xD
There was only one. One heartbeat, one voice, one smile now faded into nothing. His hands slid blindly around him, searching the damp ground of the cave. Coming up with nothing, he pushed his legs about too, his foot finally connecting with something other than rock. He stared into the blackness, willing his body to move, willing it to sit up and reassure him. Slowly, one arm slid up, and then the other, pushing him into a seated position. Then his legs, sliding beneath him, granting him the ability to crawl towards the form. He shook the man gently, muttering his name. But the attempts were fruitless; he would not wake. Quaking fingers rested upon his friend's neck in the darkness, waiting for a beat. And that was when he knew. There was only one. One heartbeat, one voice, one smile now faded into nothing.
