"The girls are just going to have to follow behind in the shadows." Uriah stood and stretched out a bit, even if it did cause pain. "We need to be very careful." Uriah didn't want to die, he still had so much to do. Including telling Luna how he felt.
“Right…” Cyrus murmured, “Are you feeling any better at all?”
He eyed Uriah up and down. There was still a lot wrong, but he was almost certain that there was some improvement.
After a pause, he said, “Look, I’m probably going to say a lot of things I don’t mean to play along. Don’t take them personally, don’t think I have any bad intent.”
Luna gave a slight nod, but looked at Uriah concerningly. There was so many problems that could go wrong with the plan, what if she and Sparrow got caught? What if the kids got caught? How long would this take? Luna just wanted to get out of this infierno already, but she wasn't going to leave with out all of them present.
(Tbh, idk how to continue this plot to finish the story)
(We can always help you come up with some ideas)
(Where did you want this to go?)
(To be honest, I didn't think this would get this far so I only had stuff planned up to where cyrus finds out he has living relatives lol)
(Oof what a big mood. I can help you brainstorm later if you’d like. I’ve got class rn though. I’ll be out in about an hour and a half.)
"Cyrus, let's go find him and see what he really wants." If this wasn't finished soon, Uriah will probably die of exhaustion. He saw the concern on Luna's face and gave her a smile. He would try his best to finish this quickly, for her.
(All I know is that Cyrus needs to go absolutely feral at some point because why not)
"If he'll ever tell us what he really wants," Cyrus sighed, "We can only hope."
He tried to walk around a bit on his own, and while it was extremely painful, it would do in an emergency. He grabbed the crutches again.
"Shall we?"
"Lead the way." Uriah had only been here a while and didn't know all the places, but maybe Panther was on his office. He just decided to follow Cyrus's lead, he knew Panther best. (Sorry its short.)
Cyrus hobbled along in front.
"Well, he said there were some guards supposed to meet us, right?" he said.
A huge wave of exhaustion started to sweep over Cyrus as he continued. He was sick of this. Absolutely fed up.
Luna stayed towards the back trying to be some random nurse. She felt tired of everything and would love to get back into her old clothes.
Uriah stopped in his tracks thinking he might not have this chance again, seeing as he was not feeling the best and didn't know if he would make out alive. "Cy, I'll be right back." He ran back into the room and grabbed Luna's arm taking her into one of the patient areas and closed a curtain. "I know this is a lot and super sudden. But I'm in love with you, and if you don't feel the same I understand. It's just, honestly, I might not make it out and this would be the only regret I would have if I didn't." Uriah stuttered over his words and spoke a bit fast to try and get it out as quickly as possible. A tiny of pink rose to his cheeks, as he just looked her in the eyes, waiting for her answer.
Cyrus leaned over on one crutch. It was clear that on top of emotional exhaustion, he was also very physically exhausted.
“Okay, go on ahead,” he said, but Uriah was already gone.
There was very little light or enthusiasm in his words nor his eyes.
Luna was a little surprised when he pulled her behind a curtain and her eyes grew wider as he poured out his confession. Clearly he didn't remember everything from before they got captured, but she gave him a small smile as her cheeks heated up to a rosy pink as well, "I-I understand. I-I'm in l-love with y-you as w-well, Uriah." She couldn't keep her looking at him after that and glanced down towards the ground. Her face was now a bright red.
(Sorry, I'm here. I was a bit busy.)
Uriah smiled and lifted her chin to look at him. "I'm happy." His eyes darted around not sure if he could look at her. "Um, so I have to get going, but um," He pused wondering if he should even ask. "WoOld it be okay if I kissed you. If not of course that's fine with me." Why am I like this? I'm not usually this awkward.
Luna finally could look him in the eyes. She could feel her heart racing as he held her chin and then asked if he could kiss her. This could be their last moment together, who knows what was going to happen to him afterwards. As for last moment go, finally getting confessions out of them both, even though Luna had given hers before they got captured and Uriah hadn't seemed to remember it, wasn't that bad of an ending. She felt her mouth go dry as she responded, "K-kiss me. P-Please."
(Have Sparrow and Cyrus even kissed yet?)
(…I think they have? But I don't know. I'm going back and checking right now.)
(I'm pretty sure they have done like cheek/forehead kisses at least)
(I'm not sure. Haha.)
Uriah cupped her cheeks in his hands and leaned down. His lips pressed against hers. Luna was small, and adorable, all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms, but sadly that couldn't happen right now. His lips were dry and he felt bad, but this may be the last time, so he would take the chance. His eyes closed and he took all this in. And for a moment Zhavia showed up in his mind. All she did was smile, and walk away into the darkness, as if telling him goodbye and setting him free. He pulled away and tears ran down his face. They were sad and happy tears. Now, Uriah could never forget Zhavia completely, but he had someone here he cared about more and he wasn't going to let anything happen to this girl he loved.
Luna's eyes closed the moment their lips touched and she pushed back against him. This was her first kiss and dios was she happy it was with Uriah. The timing could have been better for this type of thing, but it was better now than ever. When she felt Uriah pull away her eyes fluttered open and she could see his tears running down his face. Without thinking she reached up with her hand to hold his cheek and wipe the tears away with her thumb. Luna could figure why he was crying, but she couldn't tell if they were happy or sad. They looked like they were both.
(I've read through where I think it would be, and no. Sparrow and Cyrus have not kissed properly to my knowledge.)
(Ahhhh we'll get there eventually. He's a shy boi lol)
"Ah, sorry I didn't mean to cry." So many things have been happening to him and Uriah thought it was just all the emotions that were built up. "I really do have to go though." It made him sad to say that since, they were both on the same page. Uriah quickly gave her one more kiss. "Please be careful." After that he left. If she ever got into trouble he wouldn't hesitate to jump in the middle even if that meant he could die. "Alright Cy, let's finish this." A new found fire was in his eyes, Uriah was ready to finish this.
Cyrus gave a curt nod.
"God, I hope we can. I don't know if I can take any more of this."
He scratched the back of his head.
"I've never relished killing before, but… I think this one might be an exception."
Luna watched as Uriah left. She took a deep breath as she tried to reign in her flaming cheeks. All of that just happened, dios it felt like a dream. She needed to be ready to follow the boys and just anything in general.
