Hey guys Bubbles here! So I'm still sticking to the one post a day thing yay!!! Although you might get two today just because. That's all! I really hope you guys enjoy and such!
BYE!!!! :)



Etho's POV

It was one of our usual ABBA caving adventures, me and Nebris' rivalry as strong as ever. Though there was this feeling, this strange thing I've never felt before, almost wanting to lose, just to hear Nebris' triumphant laugh, and see his face light up.

I've always kept my guard up, using my ninja training to keep focus, keeping that wall to protect me from anything, especially my feelings, but with Nebris that wall is slowly disappearing, everything I've ever trained for failing, because of this one man, the one person I'm supposed to hate, but can't actually bring myself to.

I bring myself out of my thought as I reach the surface, where Nebris is already waiting.

"Let me guess you already tallied your points" I say

Nebris smirks "of course"

I quickly calculate my totals, 254 points, that's pretty good.

"How many?" I ask

"302" Nebris replies still smirking

"254"

Nebris laughs triumphantly, I feel that wall slowly starting to crumble. No matter how hard I try to stop it, I can't.

I hand him all the stuff I collected, our hands brushing slightly, that wall I built to withstand anything finally fell, finally crumbled.

I feel tears run down my checks, the triumphant look on Nebris' face fades into a look of concern.

"Etho?" Nebris asks

I just shake my head, not able to form words.

"Are you gonna be ok?" Nebris asks, the look on his face makes the impact worse.

"I.... don't.... know" I say slowly

"What's wrong? how can I help?"

"All the training, all the mental preparing, everything I've done to protect myself, the wall I built, has all been destroyed by you. The one person I'm supposed to hate, I can't. just seeing you makes me melt, makes me want to do everything in my power to make you happy.... even lose" I say

Nebris' face shows a series of emotions, confusion, hope, concern, but the most prominent understanding.

"I know how you feel, I've tried everything but you are the bane of my existence, yes I hate you at times, but even then I can't live without you, just the thought terrifies me"

"I don't think I could live without you either" I whisper, afraid of everything, especially the thought of Nebris not being in my life

Nebris steps closer and wipes away some tears "maybe we don't have to"

"But what would everyone think?"

"Why should we care......" Nebris says leaning in and kissing me.

This was unlike anything I ever felt before. It wasn't the harsh, dominant kiss I expected, but a very gentle, loving one. Nebris' touch sends shivers down my spine, instantly making me feel better, less vulnerable.

"Maybe we shouldn't care" I mumble against Nebris' lips

All that time and effort I put into building and protecting that wall, all came down because of this one man, but maybe it isn't a bad thing.

Okay, this was good. Your slowly building up your writing, and its getting better! ^^
One tiny thing: it would be Nebris and I, not me and Nebris.
If you ever need anyone to read over your work, just shoot me a pm :)
