            Lance is saying something, but Red can’t hear him over the howling wind, and he knows, he knows, that it’s over, everything is over, because they’re both going to die here, and there’s nothing they can do. He should never have agreed to explore Tengan Mountain. It had sounded fun, and he had taken his pokémon and three weeks worth of food and lots of potions so he had thought it would be all right but this blizzard, this never-ending blizzard that won’t let them go anywhere…

            He wants to scream and cry, he’s too young to die, but then Lance walks over to him, and Red reads confidence in those golden eyes, and feels a little bit better, because now he can guess the meaning.

            Everything will be all right…

            He has to trust Lance and know that this isn’t the end…

           

            Lance pulls him into a hug, and kisses him, and Red feels his eyes sliding shut, even though this isn’t really the best place to profess their love, and as he surrenders, he feels a shimmer, a glimmer. It feels familiar, but he doesn’t know why, and it’s not until he opens his eyes and sees green grass and bright blue sky that he realizes what happened.

            And he laughs, wildly, even as he sees Lance smile, that darkly beautiful smile, and he realizes what Lance did to save them.

            But he’s still high on adrenaline, and as Lance reaches for him again, he closes the distance between them with another kiss, and doesn’t care.

So, what did Lance do? I’ll leave that to the reader to figure out! ^^
