Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 5)

[idolpro]

In the beginning, there is nothing but darkness and silence. A sleep that gives no rest but one out of necessity in order to keep functioning. Behind closed eyelids, the numbers of a clock tick down - one painstaking second at a time.

TIME UNTIL REBOOT:


And then you wake up.

As you shift to a standing position, you feel something sharp and pointed press against your side. Digging into the nearest pocket, you will find two small puzzle pieces. And from their odd shape, it looks like they would fit into a 3D spherical puzzle. Odd. You've never seen them before, but you do get a sense that these are a currency of some sort. Spend them wisely!

Game start.

That's not good enough! You still died!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Puts a hand on Seto's cheek in an attempt to calm him. ] Do you wish it was not this way?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[He lowers his voice again, at least.]

...Of course I do. I wish I had kept you safe.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But if I had survived and lived that life, I wouldn't be able to see you now.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

My selfish desire to see you shouldn't take precedence over your life.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Seto. Seto, are you even listening to me? GRIPS HIS FACE and yanks him down to her level. Come here, you. ] It was my selfish desire, too.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[His eyes widen and he blinks at her a few times in silence, processing that.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Oh good. He gets it. Time to lean in and kiss this dumb, sad boy. ]

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[Oh




Okay.

There's a moment before he manages to respond, but then he lifts a hand to her head and kisses her back like he's breathing air for the first time.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Aren't you cute? But she pulls back after keeping it relatively chaste. ] Do you understand now?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[He looks distant again, but for a different reason now, his face warm and his heart beating fast.]

...No.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Mmmmm? Maybe you can tell me what you're having trouble with.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...Why?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why what, Seto?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Why would you want that that much?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Because you're my pride and soul. Just like I'm yours.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

You're a light for a soul where there was none. Brilliant and beautiful. A guiding star in the darkness.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And where would I be with no one to guide?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Somewhere I can't even begin to see.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And somewhere without you sounds dreadful. [ And she laughs ] Don't you think?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...

[He just closes his arms around her again.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Gently pats his back. ] It's okay. I'm happy things ended up like this.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Happy...

[He runs his hand through her hair lightly]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Happy. Because I can be with you.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Only like this.
