[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake was shell-shocked, a warmth surrounding him that made his heart pound and blood flow viciously through his body in rapid and... interesting ways. He shook his head violently, trying to rid himself of the feeling - or of the water. He felt his eyes sting and his throat clogged up. He flailed his hands around, desperately trying to float to the top or grasp onto something that would drag him to the surface.
I'm so dead... I am so dead. I can't do this.
Scarlet.
Where is she...? I was just in the attic with her a minute ago....
The attic. The wood beneath him. His arms wrapped around her as she quivered violently in desperation to avoid those mists, although the quivers did nothing to move her.
The mist.
Scar must have opened the box.
Slowly, the water around him disappeared, his arms simultaneously wrapping around Scarlet's middle, and the mist leaving him and returning to the box - where it automatically locked now that it had no one to pester and torture.
Each intake of air he took was harsh and cold on his throat and lungs, like an icy storm passing over him and chilling him to the bone. He shook with fright and the feeling of coldness and emptiness that filled him. He closed his eyes, pulling Scarlet closer as the back of his eyes burned. He buried his face in her hair so she wouldn't see.
"T-Thank... You." He choked out with a cough.

"I am so sorry..." she whispered against his chest. "I am so sorry."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"Don't..." He turned his head slightly to cough. "Don't apologize. You did nothing wrong."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"Don't..." He turned his head slightly to cough. "Don't apologize. You did nothing wrong."

[[deleted user]]

"Don't try to sugar-coat it. I did something really wrong. I shouldn't have messed with that box." Tears were threatening ti gather in her eyes. "I always mess up with people..."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake subconsciously put his fingers to her chin, gently lifting her head up to look her in the eye.
"You didn't mess up. I would have told you if you'd messed up. As you very well know, the bane of my existence is to do so. If I didn't, when would I be able to fulfill my purpose to call you Crabcake?" He said with a warm and cheeky grin.

[[deleted user]]

She lightly hit him on his chest. "This isn't something to joke about! And my name isn't crabcake." Despite her words, her countenance was lifting up.

[[deleted user]]

((?))

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake laughed, shaking his head lightly.
"No jokes, Crabcake. Scouts Honor." He said, holding up his right hand.

[[deleted user]]

She sighed. "I am never going to get you to stop using that name now am I..."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"Nope." He said with a chuckle, pulling scarlet too him. "Never."
He kissed the top of her head without thinking about it and nuzzled his face into her soft hair.

[[deleted user]]

Her face started to get beet red. "I didn't shower yesterday so my hair is really bad and-" She said, continuing to blabber on.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

He held her tighter, contentment filling him. "You look and smell perfect, Scarlet, don't worry about it." He laughed, affectionately running his fingers through her hair. "You're hair is amazingly soft, y'know."

[[deleted user]]

Her eyes went wide. "R-really?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"Yeah. And the color is vibrant and full of life." His eyes twinkled. "Just like you."

[[deleted user]]

"Ummm....thanks." She never could handle stuff like this, she was never taught what to say when she came upon these types of situations.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

He hummed in reply and smiled.

(I gtg... Ttyl)

[[deleted user]]

((Ok!))


She unconsciously reached for her necklace but she remembered that the clasp broke. "Do you happen to know how to fix my necklace?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake shrugged. "I've never fixed a necklace before, but I could give it a try if you'd like?" He said.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

(Hey)

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

[[deleted user]]

(Sorry! I was filming so I just bounced on and off! During the week I will just be doing it too)

"If you could? Please?" She begged.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake smiled and gingerly took the necklace from her.
"I'll give it a shot, then." He said, carefully maneuvering around Scarlet and to the back of the attic, dropping into the hole that was his little underground workshop. He sauntered over to his bench and sat on the crooked stool, peering over the necklace under his lamp and a magnifying glass to assess the damage. He bit his lip, thinking, before setting it down and moving over to the tool bench - a cluttered mess of several dozen tools and material. He grabbed a small bolt and a flame thing (don't know the name of it) and moved back to the work bench, a mask over his face. He pulled another chain out of a drawer and melded the two chains together, and melding the chains to the bolt. It took all of four minutes, and when he finished, he turned to Scarlet who was standing a few feet away and he let the necklace fall over her head to rest on her shoulder, the pendant reaching towards the upper part of her breastbone. He raised the mask and smiled.
"What'dya think?" He asked.

Her eyes were getting watery. "Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me!" She carefully cupped the strangely shaped ring and sighed. "This is my only memento that I have of when I was born...Or at least that is what Maman, my orphan home mom, said to me."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake smiled. "No need to thank me." He said, a slight pink to his cheeks.

[[deleted user]]

"But I do!" She exclaimed, looking back up at him. "Thank you so much!"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

He rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously, scuffing the toe of his boot along the ground.
"It was nothing, really..." He murmured.

[[deleted user]]

"Well, I thought it was something." She smiled up at him.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

He hummed in reply, his face heating up with embarrassment.
"So... Yeah. This is my space. I come here every chance I get..." He says, trying to fill the silence. "So... What do you wanna do?"

[[deleted user]]

"I don't know, what do you usually do in this space?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"I usually just hang around... Draw, think... Just to enjoy the quietness of everything. Sometimes I climb the willow tree outside."

[[deleted user]]

"Oh? That works." She paused, and then asked. "Do you happen to have a tower room?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake looked at her quizzically. "Tower room?"

[[deleted user]]

"Yea!" She said excitedly, "I always wanted to have a tower room! They seem SO cool! Victorian houses usually have circular tower rooms, but this isn't one so if you don't have one that is fine, I just wanted to ask...."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake shrugged. "I don't... But it would probably only take a few weeks to get the structure of one together... Maybe three months to build one? Maybe more, depending on how much time away from camp I can get and the weather... Hmm..." He thought for a moment, leaning against the table and thinking over the calculations in his head.

[[deleted user]]

She started to get flushed, "I wasn't saying that you had to go and do it!"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake hadn't heard her, lost in thought.he went over to the bookshelf and scanned the titles, grabbing an old Victorian architecture volume. He flipped through the pages, sitting at his desk and setting the book on a stand, open to the page he wanted. He pulled some paper out of his desk and began drawing; making measurements along the margins as he went, muttering under his breath.

[[deleted user]]

"Drake!" She rushed over to him. she placed her hands on his shoulder to get his attention. "You don't have to do it!"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake jumped, started. He looked over his shoulder at her.
"It's no trouble, really, Scar." He said with a small smile.

[[deleted user]]

"It is a lot of trouble! And it will ruin your perfectly fine place!"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"No it won't. I'm sure a tower room would be a great addition! I just have to find the right place for it and make sure I have the correct measurements and then I'll have to gather up all the supplies... I wonder if there's enough paint on the Camp's sheds for a project like this..." He had gone back to scribbling across the paper, carefully sketching out his design.

[[deleted user]]

"Why would you do it?" She asked, mostly to herself.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

He shrugged. "Because I can." He said with a sarcastic smile.

[[deleted user]]

She glared at him, "Oh, I get it now, it is a pride thing isn't it?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

His hand stopped, and he glanced at her. "I have no pride. No empathy or sympathy either. I have no positivity in my genetic coding. I only have my anger, fear and ambition. My ambition and determination keep me going. They make me stronger. Building... That is my ambition; my determination. I love to build. To create something new. To take an idea from my mind and bring it into my hands and then hence forth into the world for all to see. I simply love to build. And this," He gestured to the paper in front of him. "this is an excuse to build. This gives me another way to challenge my skills and see just how far I can go - just how high to the skies my ambition can go. I'm not just doing this for you or because I have nothing better to do with my life; this is a challenge, an obstacle, a puzzle. This is something new. It's something I want to do. Not something I feel obligated to do."

[[deleted user]]

((So sorry! Had to help with something))

"Okay." She sighed in relief. Then paused. "Who has been telling you that you don't have that stuff in your genetic code? Isn't love a positive emotion?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake tensed. Love. He had said the word, yes; and he had meant it, but; love. Could he truly feel something described in such a blessed and truthfully amazing way. His heart pounded and he closed his eyes against the world around him, memories; both old and new, flashing from the back of his eyelids. He opened his eyes quickly, blinking. He shook his head, as if to clear away cobwebs in his mind,
"This... This is different." He muttered uncertainly, his face flushed.

[[deleted user]]

"No, it isn't. Love is the most positive emotion someone can experience, that feeling of finishing a project and having fun with it? It is also called loving it. When you described how you wanted to do this, that is also a positive emotion."
