We landed by the cave, or meeting point, that was about 30 miles from the Institute. The cave was embedded in a small foot hill. I found it one day, when we were allowed to explore the territory. It was the perfect hiding spot. You couldn't see it unless you were standing right in front of it. A sheer piece of rock had fallen on the right side of the cave, obscuring that view, and dense brush obscured the rest of it.

It was gorgeous here, the sun was setting behind us and everything had a certain reddish softness about it. There were huge oak trees and pine trees everywhere. Flowers in full bloom. And mountains in the distance.

I sighed and started picking up stray chunks of wood.
"I'm going to start a fire in the cave. We need food, so could you go to the nearest shop and steal some?" I knew that he was still standing right next to me, I could feel his body heat.
"Yes, that I can do. Be back soon." I felt his hand brush my forearm, a tingle of warmth shot through me, then I heard a slight woosh! As he took off.

Well time to start the wood on fire.

About a half hour later I saw some floating bags coming in the cave. Then I heard a sweet little: "Helloooo!"
I got up from the fire that I started from inside the cave.
"Hi! What cha' got?" I asked taking one of the bags from him and digging through it.
"Ummm..." Third said. "I got some of that dehydrated crap that we can use later, then some real food. Some blankets... uh, backpacks... CHEETOS. And subs. I found one of those shops where they still sell this stuff from forever ago."
"Oh my gosh! You got Cheetos?! I LOVE THOSE! Break them open!"

After we finished off a massive bag of cheetos and a couple subs we sat in the back of the cave against its wall.
Stuffed. Boy did that feel good!
I felt Thirds arm wrap around my shoulder. I leaned my head against his chest and asked,
"So, what was up with you in the computer room?"
"I don't know... the same thing that's up with me now." He replied.
"And what's up with you now?" I asked, smiling at him.
"Well," He replied, as the emotion he was feeling was emitting harder and harder with every word he said. It was warm, safe, like nothing I've felt before. It wasn't just his emotions that made me feel this way, my own feelings for him too.
"Why don't I just show you?" Right then I felt him tilt my head upwards and soft lips touched mine. I was shocked at first...
But then I wrapped my arms harder around his waist, and he held me tighter. Bringing me even closer to the warmth of his body.
