"Finnick?"

I walked a little faster, trying to find where he'd gone so late at night. I had a hunch that Connor, Jax, and Brianne wouldn't come back until closer to the morning but waking up to the other side of the bed empty left a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Ever since that interaction with that girl my stomach had been flipping up and down. There was something troubling about her, like she carried an evil trait about her presence that set all my warning signals off, but it made no sense to me.

We're not going to see her again.

I reached the exact spot on the beach where we'd met her, the place deserted of people as the full moon shone high in the sky and made the calming waters look immaculate while covering their dark dangers.

My eyes continued to scan the oasis of sand until they locked onto the pink-haired man in green shorts. My racing heart was given a moment's break, relief rushing through me as I pushed myself forward to run the remaining distance to reach where Finnick stood on a rock.

He wasn't painting or anything. Just standing there under the enchanting moonlight that he seemed to be so transfixed on.

It was like he was under hypnosis for a second, and as I got closer, I noticed how black his eyes were.

Pitch black, like the dark sky above us.

"Finnick?" I questioned as I reached him, and it took a second for his gaze to finally turn to meet mine. I scrunched my face in confusion, noticing that those ink-black orbs were no longer what I'd seen seconds earlier - Finnick's ocean teal-green eyes returned as they blinked in surprise.

"Kaito? What are you doing here?"

"Uh..." I had to pause to think of why I was here in the first place - the sight of those jet black eyes still haunting my thought process. "You weren't in bed and I got worried."

"I left a note on the nightstand," he pointed out with an appreciative grin as his eyes softened. "Didn't see it?"

Now I had no choice but to blush in embarrassment. It hadn't even occurred to me to check my surroundings before I jumped out of bed, grabbed my katana to strap to my back, and raced out of the room.

I'm such an idiot.

"No," I finally replied. "I...was just..."

What the hell was I supposed to say? I was worried about him being alone and afraid he'd slip out of reach? That after everything he'd gone through I still couldn't sleep until I knew he was safe in the same bed as me or in the arms of Brianne? That I still worried something would happen that just pushed him off the brink of self-destruction and I'd lose him forever like a single balloon slipping from my grasp and entering the sky to drift away for all eternity?

"Worried about me?" he concluded with a smirk. "You worry too much, Kaito. Nothing is gonna happen to me." His wink at the end was followed with him reaching out for my hand.
