The rules are: Go to the seventh page of a WIP, skip down to the seventh line and copy seven (or however many you want) lines and tag seven writers to do the challenge.
From Chp. 23 of When it Rains, it Rains Bullets
“We have to go,” Kise finally said after giving Aomine a moment of silence. “It’s…” Kise bit his lip and shook his head with a sigh. “Everyone dies someday. We’re not immortal, Daiki.”
Everyone dies someday.
Aomine watched as Kise turned away from him and remembered the sinking feeling of watching him fall to the floor after what he believed was a fatal shot from Haizaki. He could still remember the feeling of that all-encompassing rage, so hot it felt like he was melting from the inside out. Beneath that, beneath the desire to enact his revenge, he remembered the hollow, empty feeling of loneliness, so cold in comparison to the rage that fueled him then.
He couldn’t imagine a world without Kise and, in that moment, he thought he had to endure one.
Everyone dies someday.
“Oi.” He reached forward and grabbed Kise’s wrist, pulling him back against his chest. Kise blinked up at him, confused for a moment before Aomine said, “If you go… I go.”
Kise’s eyes widened. Aomine didn’t need to explain what he meant. “No, Daiki…” he whispered and shook his head. “You go, I go.”
Content to accept that promise for now, Aomine leaned forward with the intention of stealing a kiss when Takao let loose a low groan.
“C’mon guys, really?” He gestured toward the hallway ahead of them. “We have to kick some bad guy ass and you’re over there being all mushy. This isn’t some romance movie, you know.” He took a few steps forward to encourage them to follow. “Besides, it’s not cute anymore.”
Don’t feel obligated to do this if you don’t want to!
