(SFW) June Reward #1 (Patreon)

The sea raged, the sky torn open by light and thunder.

Shards of wood floated like dead birds on the waves — among them, a body. Weightless, eyes closed, drifting silent like a lost thought. His hair clung to his forehead, soaked from the storm.

Something about him held Soap still. Maybe it was the way he looked. Even unconscious, he was the most beautiful man he ever saw. He seemed like someone who had fought hard. Someone who didn’t give up easily.

Soap broke the surface. The cold air bit into his skin, but it no longer mattered the moment he reached the man.

He was heavy—but not too heavy. Human. Warm.

Soap held him tighter.

I could just take you with me.

Down into the deep.

Where it’s quiet.

Where no one will find you.

Where only I can see you.

His heart still beat. Slow, but steady. Soap closed his eyes. Maybe… just a little closer. Just one last breath.
