Will simply stood there, staring at Aiden.

How were they going to make this work? They didn't even know if they were going to live through the next few days -- maybe even hours. Nothing was guaranteed.

They didn't know how long they had to prepare themselves against an attack. And as much as they both wanted a future together, neither of them had any way of know if it could possibly happen. Everything in their future was a question mark, and it felt as though their lives hung by a single slender thread.

But he knew one thing was certain. He did want a life with Aiden, if they survived what was to come. He wanted to get through this and have a future assured for them.

And he didn't doubt that Aiden felt the same.

There was noway that their kiss could have been so utterly explosive if Aiden didn't feel the same way he did. No one could kiss another person like that, with their entire heart and soul behind it, unless they truly wanted the future to hold a promise for them. It just wasn't possible.

It was the most amazing kiss he had ever experienced. It felt as though his entire heart and soul had met Aiden's in that kiss, that they'd wrapped themselves around each other.

For the first time in his life, his heart and soul had entwined with someone else's.

It was breathtaking. It was beautiful. It was all that he had ever wanted.

He wanted that kiss to happen again, over and over, until they both lost themselves in it. He wanted to stop time so that they could keep on kissing each other forever.

But Will knew that he couldn't do that. The kisses had broken the flow of time for a few moments; they had been a brief respite from all that was going to happen, an oasis of calm and hope in a river of chaos. He only hoped that those wouldn't be the only kisses he and Aiden would share.

He wanted a lifetime of those kisses. A lifetime and beyond.

"So, what do we do now?" he asked, his voice shaky. Will tried a smile, though he had the distinct feeling it looked more like a grimace. "We've got a lot to get through."

Aiden nodded, the smile gone from his face, his demeanor serious. "I know we do. But you know something? We have hope now. We know what we both want, and we know that we're both on the same page. We've got a future to fight for, Will. And that's going to help us to win this battle."

"I hope you're right," Will told him, his voice very low. "Because from all that you've told me, it's not going to be an easy fight. And it's gong to be to the death. Either theirs, or ours."

He sincerely hoped that it wouldn't be the latter choice.
