Sneak Peek: Nour Ch5 (Number Unknown)
🕑 Added 2023-05-19 13:59:02 +0000 UTCI have no idea which number this is lmfao. So we're just going to not number it. I need to give Toz some competition, I actually have at least one more person to give him some competition but damnit, he needs competition for the male vote.

"$name?" you hear a voice ask, barely able to raise your glance to see Xeno standing there. His eyes widen with shock before shooting forward to your side. "Are you okay?" He questions as he removes his coat and places it over your shoulders. Your nose is bombarded by a smell very much unlike the homey scent you have come to associate with Nour. It tickles you just how different Xeno smells but how much it matches him. His smell is dark and rich, with hints of leather and smoky, though you doubt the latter is a personal musk and more due to your recent escapades.
"I … I can't move," you barely manage to say. You wish to sleep. To lie down, rest, and wake up days or seasons from now. Though, you suppose if that is to be the case, you will never reawaken.
"May I?" You nod, and he picks you up, bringing you close to his chest, "you're safe now. Let us join the others." He walks a few steps before screaming to the others where you are. It takes little to no time to hear snow crunching, and then figures break the tree line, all crowding around you. But there is one face that your eyes connect with immediately. Nour looks you over, their eyes wide and terrified.
"I was worried," they admit.
"I'm fine," you say through chattering teeth.
"No, you aren't. Look at you."
"I said, I'm fine." The tone causes Nour to flinch, but you find it hard to feel any sympathy. All that you had just been through, the memories that Tyrae forced you to relive, along with the journey you had to partake in. You're tired, and you're not okay. But that feels like a problem you must face on your own.
"We should make camp," Xeno tells him, ending whatever else Nour wished to say. "We need to get $name warm." He says no more as he moves forward carefully, his grip tightening around you to ensure you are secure. You are not sure if you are awake for the rest of the trip, regardless of how long or short. A few steps in, your body finally gives way to the pain and chill.

I will never be swayed from Toz; I will however, simp from a healthy distance.
