You didn’t believe you’d ever find yourself in such a position. You were being chased on 15 health. You were an easy target, only one hit away from death. Out of nowhere, you’d blurted out “I love you” for whatever reason. That seemed to catch 1x4 off guard. In the middle of a chase?

But, that saved your life.

1x4 sat next to his new partner, you. He rested his head on your shoulder. The same swords he nearly killed you with sat in his lap. Other survivors looked at you two weird and whispered if you needed help. 1x4 gave them a glare to shoo them away before you could respond though. He turned fully towards you, wrapping his arms around you and murmuring.

“That was some convenient timing there, dear.”
