In the dark streets of Badger City's western district, the rain hammered the floor and surroundings with a loud tapping, covering the movement of Seth and Muyue as they crouched with eyes watching the zombies in the distance.
Seth placed his finger against the leather mask of Muyue as he noticed she was about to speak.
Instead pulled her into his chest, gently whispering into her ear, "Whisper, because that thing can hear extremely well..."
His breathing was hot, as if burning the side of her face, before she looked at him with a slightly dazed face.
Muyue's face was slightly pink as she pulled down her leather mask, the cold and wet feeling of the rain dripping into her slightly hot and damp lips.
Leaning against Seth's neck, she let her lips touch his ears while speaking gently.
"I can take their attention... if you cover me. I trust you."
