"Me.." Soren replied, taking control of his body again. His eyes were still black, but his shadow no longer had control over his actions.

"Good" said Arthur, "As helpful as that shadow of your's might be to you, I think he's more of an embodiment of your own fear more than anything else." He took another fighting stance, "Wanna keep going? Or do you need a break?"

"I'm okay to keep going." Soren sighed, taking a deep breath before attacking Arthur again. The tip of his blade poked Arthur's chest, and that's when Soren hesitated.

Arthur took that chance to trip Soren, ending up on top of him, hand to the other's throat. Arthur's legs were firmly on top of Soren's legs and one of his arms, and his other arm had Soren's free one pinned in seconds. His grip was strong, and his face was emotionless for several minutes. "You're going to have to be faster than that"

The dome around them fell and the shadows scattered. Soren's head felt a little light, everything happened so quickly, but when everything cleared he made eye contact with Arthur. His eyes returned to normal, his blue eye sparkling brightly in the setting sun. His chest rose and fell heavily, and his face had turned slightly pink in embarrassment.
He's so close..!!!!
Soren's tail slowly curled around Arthur's waist, holding him firmly in place.
"If you're going to pin someone down," he muttered, "Check that all their limbs are secured."

Soren smiled weakly, maintaining eye contact with Arthur. The latter was still firmly in place with Soren's tail, he wasn't likely to be moving anywhere unless the tail moved too. "Now as much as I love your hand at my throat, it's a little hard to breath. Think you could loosen up a little?"

Arthur blushed a little, pulling his hand away, trying pull off of Soren, but unable to because of the tail.

Soren took a deep breath, smiling brighter. "Thank you, I was beginning to miss the air."
He properly assessed the position they were in, and suddenly felt a little shy. "I uhm.. Would you like me to let go?"

Arthur blushed a little more, "I… I honestly don't know…." he said shyly, forcing himself to relax as much as possible. Arthur's face was getting redder by the second as he balanced himself above Soren, Soren's strong tail keeping him in place.

You're touching him, you are in control.
I wouldn't do that to Arthur!
Wouldn't you? You've done it to everyone else, so what makes him different?
Soren ignored his shadow, keeping his gaze on Arthur. He hesitantly reached up to caress the boy's cheek. "I'm not making you uncomfortable am I?"

Arthur tensed, blinking, almost leaning into the touch, "I…" he gave up and shook his head "no". Nice time for words to fail me…. he thought. Boy am I glad Discordion knocked himself out…. he thought as the redness in his face got more intense.

Your time is almost up Soren. Either you take me out of your body immediately, or you become fully demon.
Soren kept his eyes on Arthur, his hand continued to gently caress his pale face. He smiled lopsidedly as he sat up, gently touching their foreheads together. He closed his eyes and focused on Arthur, and soon enough his shadow returned to the ground beneath them. Still he sat there, with their noses only inches apart. I like this guy, he means way more to me than power ever could.

Arthur relaxed into it, going bright red, but not really caring. Why me…. he thought, now very glad that Discordion wasn't there.

Soren took a deep breath, opening a one way channel between his and Arthur's minds. Arthur could hear what he was thinking, but not vice versa.
You're weird, Arthur, even you yourself have admitted that. But there's nothing wrong with weird, and in fact I like that. You're very blunt at times, you don't play games or beat about the bush, and I like that too. You've been through so much yet you don't make it a known statement, you're careful. I like that as well. I like how frustrated you sometimes make me with your stubbornness, and how you make me smile just by being here.. Do you see where I'm going with my thoughts?

Arthur blinked in surprise, but tried to find the words to answer. "yeah… yeah I see… uhm…" why now????? "There are a lot…. of things along those lines… that I would say too…. if I could actually…." If I could actually speak properly…. he thought as he trailed off, his face going bright red with flustered embarrassment.

I'm sorry, I picked a weird timing, but I wanted to get it out of the way sooner rather than never say it at all.
He closed the connection and slowly laid back on the ground with a soft smile. "Want me to let go now?" he indicated to his tail.

"No" said Arthur, relaxing and following Soren's movements, genuinely liking the weight of it there. "Honestly any kind of timing would be weird…." he looked down, trying to control his bright red face.

"Yes, I suppose so." Soren chuckled lightly, gently ruffling Arthur's hair. He turned his head, watching the sun fall behind the trees. The sky was a vibrant crimson hue, with splashes of orange and yellow. "It's beautiful at dusk.. So many beautiful colours."

Arthur nodded, carefully looking around. before turning back to study Soren, who was lying beneath him.

Soren grinned brightly as he watched small clouds float through the sky. He had no idea that Arthur was looking at him.

Arthur leaned in a little closer, but stayed back shyly, I wonder what might happen if I….. he tore his thoughts away as he went even (If it was possible) and even brighter shade of scarlet.

Soren slowly turned back to Arthur, noticing that the boy had moved a little. He didn't question it, he feared that Arthur was going to die from excessive blushing.

Arthur finally pulled back, pulling away to attempt to flop on the grass, loosening Soren's tail a little he did just that, immediately burying his face in his hands.

Soren sat up, running his hands through his hair as he stared at Arthur's back. Woah.. I hope he's okay.

(A'ight lets make a mess of this then!)

"Perhaps you're dehydrated," Soren shrugged, picking himself up off the floor. "We've been active pretty much the entire day and I haven't seen you drink once. Lets take a break, grab some water, and figure out our next course of action."

"I dont think its that….." said Arthur quietly, getting to his feet. "But that sounds like a good idea anyway." He said, following Soren inside, grateful that his blushing had subsided a ton when he changed the subject.
