‘I know, love. It’s okay, I get it.’ Quinn raked his fingers through his boyfriend’s hair, smiling softly.
-
imsoclueless SeniorElliot wrapped an arm around Quinn, exhaling softly. "I really hope I'm making the right decision here," he mumbled, turning and burying his face in his boyfriend's neck.
-
Quinn rubbed his back, kissing the top of his head. ‘It’ll all work out. Promise,’ he said softly.
-
imsoclueless SeniorElliot smiled slightly, gently squeezing Quinn in the hug. "You're too good for me," he mumbled, kissing his neck. The lift came to a stop and the door opened, signaling their arrival. He stood and let go of Quinn, grabbing his hand. "If I remember correctly, I think I have somewhere we can hide," he spoke, stepping out of the lift.
-
‘I’m not too good for you,’ Quinn said, rolling his eyes with a smile. He gently squeezed Elliot’s hand. ‘For how long, do you think? Are there even shops down here?’
-
"Yeah, there are, and- That, I'm not sure of," Elliot muttered, running a hand through his hair. He gently pulled Quinn along, walking out the doors of the clean, entrance building and into the large, vast, and quite barren world of the Underside. A slight haze rested in the air, darkening their vision just a little bit. Large, abandoned looking buildings stood tall, towering over anyone who came through. Elliot inhaled and looked around, a grim look on his face. "This way," he spoke softly, guiding Quinn around the back of the building they just exited.
-
Quinn followed, clinging to his hand softly. He looked around at the landscape with wide eyes, staying close to Elliot. ‘Woah..’ he murmured. ‘This is the underside, huh?’
-
"Eh, more like the topside of the Underside," Elliot said, walking over to the back of the building. He stopped at what looked like a set of basement doors, pulling them open. "Follow me, and stay close. A guy can get lost if they don't know where they're going," he added, climbing down a short ladder.
-
Quinn nodded, following close behind. He interlaced his fingers with Elliot’s seeking comfort from contact. ‘And… you’re sure you won’t get lost?’
-
"Yeah, I've been through here enough times to know my way around," Elliot replied, taking Quinn's hand and gently squeezed, reassuring him. He continued forward, taking lefts and rights down a specific path.
-
Quinn smiled and weakly and nodded, squeezing his boyfriend’s hand back. ‘Yeah, okay,’ he mumbled.
-
imsoclueless SeniorElliot rubbed his boyfriend's hand with his thumb, staying close by his side as he guided him down the tunnels. They soon arrived at a large staircase, leading up. He proceeded up the short staircase and turned, heading out an opening to the underground city. Bright lights and billboard were the only source of light in the dark city, a haze of smoke covering the air. Screams, shouts and blaring horns, coming from all sides at full volume. "Home sweet home, I guess," he spoke, shrugging as he walked forward.
-
Quinn looked around. ‘Woah,’ he muttered, grip on Elliot tightening slightly. He followed close behind. ‘This is… a lot.’
-
imsoclueless Senior"Eh, it's alright," Elliot muttered, continuing to walk. "It's definitely not as nice as the Upside, but y'know, not surprising as it's not funded as much down here-" He paused, stopping for a moment. "I feel like someone's watching us- Don't look around, alright?" He spoke in a whisper, gently pulling Quinn closer to his side.
-
Quinn nodded, swallowing nervously as he resisted the urge to whip around and hold a piece of scrap metal discarded on the ground in front of him. He wrapped an arm around Elliot, taking a shaky breath.
