Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Hey guys, Ben again. I'm feeling really good about this story. Who knows, maybe if I finish all 101 prompts, I'll ask for 101 more and write a sequel! Probs not… but don't doubt me. So, last chapter I didn't really have a lot of Alistair/Kitty. I figured out a way to compensate.
Prompt 3: Buried Alive
Alistair didn't know how he and Kitty had gotten into this mess.
One moment, he was walking down the hallway. The next, he was deep underground, trapped in a wooden box, and his girlfriend was next to him. He was starting to reevaluate not having a personal body guard.
"What happened?" Alistair asked.
"Do you want the truth or this really lame lie I came up with?" Kitty asked.
Alistair debated this for a moment. "While I'd really want to see what lie you could come up with that could possibly get us in this situation… what's the truth?"
Kitty sighed. "I was playing truth or dare with Maddie and Lizzie and they dared me to kidnap you and have both of us buried alive," she admitted.
Alistair blinked. "Makes me wonder what the lie would have been," he chuckled. "How long do we have to be down here?"
"A few hours. This box is enchanted so we won't run out of air," Kitty explained. "This isn't… messing with your claustrophobia, is it?"
"Nah," Alistair said, smiling. "I have my girlfriend to calm me down. Why would I panic with you here?"
Kitty smiled and the two sat silently for a few minutes. At some point their hands intertwined and Alistair gripped Kitty tight. "Hey Alistair? If I didn't kidnap you, would you have voluntarily come down here with me?" Kitty asked.
"To be honest, yes," Alistair said, much to Kitty's surprise. "I know I'm afraid of small spaces… but I love you enough to brave them. I probably would be terrified out of my wits, sure… but you're here. That's good enough for me."
Kitty smiled again. "Cuddle with me until the others come for us?" Kitty asked.
"Wouldn't want it any other way," Alistair said and pulled Kitty close.
Sometimes, our significant other might put us in situations we might not enjoy or understand. Alistair, however, realized that Kitty knew what bothered him and kept his concern over her's. And he also realized, so long as Kitty was willing to suffer along with him, he couldn't love her anymore than he already did.
BN: *sniffles* KittyChesireluv, I blame you for my constant crying now a days. This ship just keeps making me cry! Ugh, I'm out of tissues. *pauses the story to go buy tissues* Ah, better. Anyway, this chapter was actually rewritten from its previous version. The previous version would have consisted of Alistair and Kitty being buried alive in a very compromising position. I scrapped it because, let's face it, it wasn't cute at all. The whole chapter was awkward and unexplained. I felt this was a better chapter and moral in the long run. It's not my longest chapter, but I still think it was pretty adorbs.
Like? Hate? Meh? Tell me about it in a review! Or don't! Either works!
