Blurred hands streaking through the water. Despret the break the surface. Eager to feel that salty air.
Just missed.
Just missed...
Frantic kicking followed suit. Bubbles flowing to the darkening surface.
Can't die here...
Can't die here!
The moon...It looks so beautiful under the cursed water...The way it danced across the surface...
Can't feel anything...
Can't...move...
Jade eyes shone through the blackness that started to consume him. Pale muzzle and black bags under his eyes. Sleep deprived no more. Was he to die here..?
Shadow...
"Shadow-Kun..." he mouthed, bubbled filltering out from between his pale lips.
His late thoughts...Why did he love him so...? Why did he risk his life for the black hedgehog...? Cold hands squeezed his body, depriving him of any air he had left. His mind screaming for him to at least try to make it to the surface. But he knew he couldn't. The amount of chaos energy in his body weighed him down dramatically. Like throwing a stone in a pool.
He raised a slow hand towards the shimmering moon. As if silently praying for a rescuer. For something to bring him out of the cold abyss.
Inhaling another lungful of water, his eyes widened in reflex from the pain of his aching chest. His risen hand slowly grasped his throat as if trying to stop himself from inhaling. But on instinct he did it again. He curled forward, eyes wide and coated in pain. Not for himself. No. He wasn't that selfish. No.
For Shadow.
He couldn't let Shadow be alone. Not again. He'd already lost someone close to him. He couldn't let him go through it again. He couldn't.
He wouldn't!
He slowly ungrasped his throat in shock. Was that...wh..was that really...? He blinked slowly with his blurred vision as a blue emerald slowly floated down and bumped into his chest gently. His eyes softened as he gently held it.
He tried to chaos control.
He really did.
But he had no air left to utter a single sound. His eyes widened as they fell empty. Clutching the emereld as tightly as he could, his eyes slowly flickered shut. The moon's light shining down on him.
Shadow-Kun....
