Alien Alien

{White's POV}

I waited a long while. I wondered if Red was okay. He seemed rather.. off. Maybe he knew something. Maybe he knew something about the Impostor. What if Yellow was the Impostor? What if Red is dead, right now? Will I see him whole again?

"Oh, you're back, Yellow!" I heard Orange call, and I whipped my head over to the left hallway. There was Yellow and Red, perfectly fine. I take a sigh a relief. I was worrying too much. I wave cheerfully, he waved back, which created sparks in my heart, starting to make it race.

Red sat down, an eerie silence coming from him. He seemed to be dozing off. Now, I was worried again. "Red? Did something happen?" He jolts, "Huh? Oh, nothing." He took a moment, pausing, "So, weren't you trying to tell me something earlier?" He changed the subject. I blushed red, "Actually, I... uh- don't remember, sorry." I couldn't tell him now. But I will tell him, eventually. I look back over at him. He was glaring at the group of people. I followed his eyes. I thought he was looking at Orange, but I looked closer, he was glaring at Yellow! "Did something happen while you guys were gone, Red?" I felt dread in my stomach, surely nothing happened, right?

Red shakes his head. Yet he seemed very suspicious, "Are you sure?" I asked, and I felt very stricken by what he asked next.

"If I tell you, do you promise not to tell anyone?" He asked. I gulp, nodding my head. "I promise."

"Well, Yellow told me she's the impostor." He whispers, and I was in total shock, shaking intensely, "Wh-What!?" I squeak and Red puts a hand over my mouth. "We shouldn't tell anyone, yet, nobody will believe us." He removes his hand over my mouth. "But.. But..!" I couldn't find any words to say, I was speechless. "We have to do something! What if she-" Red shushes me, gripping my head. "H-Hey.. That hurts.." I whimper.

"Sorry," He rubs my cheek, patting it before swiping his hand away. He seemed to be deep in thought now. "What are we going to do?" I asked, and he shakes his head, "Nothing, until she strikes again." 

There was a long pause, and people started to scatter around the ship, we sat down for a moment longer, waiting for everyone to go. Yellow and Orange were the last ones to leave. I overheard their short conversation. "Sweetie, are you sure you're okay? You seem pale.." Yellow nodded to Orange's question, and they walk off together. Maybe she's scared that someone knows..

Red scooted closer to me, "I can promise you, I won't let her hurt you. If you want, I'll stay by your side for a while?" He puts his hand around me. I started blushing, so I put my helmet back on. I felt so embarrassed. He's so kind, I wonder how he looks under his helmet.. "Hey, Red." I look over at him again, "Hm?" "Can you take off your helmet? I kind of want to see what you look like, too." He scooted away, "I really.. I really would prefer not to." Red said solemnly. "Oh..!" I winced, "I'm sorry, it's okay if you don't want to, I was just curious." Great. I made him uncomfortable. 

"No, don't be sorry," He scoots closer again, "You can't really blame yourself for being curious." I could tell he was smiling under the helmet. "Speaking of curiosity," Our shoulders were touching, "What about that thing you wanted to tell me earlier? Did you remember it?" I jolt, squeaking quietly, "We-Well.. Not yet, sorry." I hid my face, I hope he couldn't tell how nervous I was. Then I started to yawn.

"I'm pretty tired now, shouldn't we go to bed soon?"

We sat down on Red's lower bunk. I had to ask the inevitable, I just didn't feel safe. "Red?" I started to ask, and he faces me, "Can I- well, if it's okay- can I sleep in your bed?" I rubbed the back of my head.

"You mean.. switch beds?" He chuckles, and I shake my head, taking off my helmet. "No, I was thinking.. sleeping in your bed." I took a deep breath. "With you.." There was an awkward pause, my pale skin probably turned completely red. He takes my hand, "Sure, if it makes you feel safe." I sigh, relieved, "Thank you." We both were in silence again, yet I could feel that Red was comfortable now, not like earlier. 

He reclined down onto the bed, and patted the empty side down. I turned, and was super embarrassed. I can't believe it.. I'm going to sleep in the same bed as Red! I slowly lied down with him, and we were mere inches apart. I couldn't handle the tension, so I sat up and put on my helmet. "Sorry, I'm just a little nervous." I quivered, and he giggles, "Why are you so nervous?" I looked away for a second, then lied back down. 

He. Pulls. Me. Closer. 

Our bodies were touching, I knew my legs- no, my whole body, was shaking. Soon, the feeling of being nervous faded away, and I felt my heart beat slow down, but passionately beat with love. 

Our helmets glass cover were mere centimeters apart now, and Red bumps his helmet against mine, and he rubbed my back slowly, calming me down.

I soon fell asleep. I think I heard Red say goodnight, but I was too comfortable in his embrace to notice.
