CarneliOchre Clip :3

“Ochre,” he pleaded, seizing me by the shoulders with near feral determination in his eyes. Behind us, the creature screeched and tore down another building, crystal shards of glass raining down like demented snow. “Close.Your. Eyes.” 

I mumbled disagreement. 

“For the love of God, just do it already before something horrible happens.” 

“No,” I whispered. 

His fists clenched around my shoulders. An aura of black had begun forming around him. “These people are going to die if I don’t do something, and you know what happens if any-”

“I won’t,” I said with finality. “You’ve never told me what happens while you ‘go off’, or what happens to you or them, or why I even need to close my eyes in the first place...” Why I hear the soft whoosh of wings. Why when I do open my eyes, there’re dead bodies everywhere, not all of them enemies. 

Carnelian stopped, hesitated for a second, let go of me, then ripped a sleeve off his jacket. 

I blushed. “Whoa, what the heck are you doing?!” 

“Saving you,” He grumbled, his face turning an adorable shade of coral as the black aura surrounding him grew darker and darker. He wrapped the sleeve over my eyes, and as the world turned black he held my face in his hands. I blushed harder. 

“Be back soon,” Carnelian whispered, his voice beginning to warp as it always did when he went off, saving the world. “Stay.” 

My fists clenched, but before I could rip off the denim sleeve and scream at him for leaving, the hands let go of my face, and footsteps coupled by the whoosh of wings told me he was already gone.
