End Journeys
(Don't) Stop It

"Tired?" ask Thomas.

"A little bit" replied Ruby.

Heavy rain still rained until noon. Lightning snatched, the trees around where they were locked up almost fell.

"It looks like we should stay longer in this place" Ruby said.

"Yes dear. If we go now it's quite risky to see extreme weather like this" Thomas replied.

"Where are those people?" Ruby was curious as to what the purpose of the people who kidnapped them was but did not provide strict guard.

"I don't understand, but hopefully after the weather it's better they haven't come so we can escape" Thomas said.

They lay in their beds, cold because of the air and rain that entered through the wooden window without glass.

"Darling.."

Ruby just smiled because Thomas kept calling her but after that said nothing.

"Darling.."

"What do you want?" Ruby answered.

"Don't pretend you don't understand" Thomas replied.

Ruby laughed at Thomas.

"Later on," replied Ruby timidly.

Ruby lay on her back to Thomas. Thomas hugged her from behind, blowing Ruby's hair which made her laugh.

"I want it now," Thomas hugged tightly onto Ruby's slender waist that never missed a workout though.

The sky is getting darker. Heavy rain with strong winds still accompanied them until noon.

"Don't" Ruby shouted while laughing.

Thomas ignored Ruby's words, he tickled Ruby who was trying to take a nap because there was nothing they could do there.

"Honey amused," Ruby held back an amused feeling while laughing.

"Honey," Ruby hugged Thomas tightly, sticking her face on Thomas' shoulder.

"Calm down" Thomas kissed Ruby's forehead while stroking her head.

The longer the wind blows the stronger. The rain was still falling but not as hard as before.

"Stop" Ruby clasped Thomas' hand tightly.

The wind blowing from the window was strong enough that it dropped Ruby's clothes that she had placed on the table next to the bed.

"Ruby," Thomas hugs Ruby who is soaked in sweat.

Ruby immersed herself in Thomas's arms.

"Honey," Ruby felt the heat all over her body. The dryness of both of them's bodies.

"Ruby, you.." Thomas hugged Ruby tightly who was biting on her blanket.

"Honey stop," with a flushed face, Ruby banged his head against Thomas's chest.

Ruby fell silent, sweat rushing from her body. He was still clasped tightly in Thomas' right hand.

Thomas watched his lover with sweat that also poured out of his entire body.

"Sleep, I'll clean this place up" Thomas said.

Ruby won't let Thomas get out of her arms. Thomas hugs Ruby, moving Ruby's position to the side. They're asleep.

Crick.. Krikka..

The sound of crickets was heard outside the hut where they lived. The night had come, the rain had stopped. But the dark and dangerous night did not allow them to leave that night either.

"Darling," Thomas kissed Ruby's cheek that was still sleeping.

Ruby smiled and lay on her back to Thomas.

"Oh, what's that?" Ruby pointed towards the window.

A black cloth bag containing something was hung near the window.

Ruby wears her jacket and approaches but Thomas stops Ruby.

Thomas approached and took the bag. Inside are toiletries, clothes, instant noodles and groceries and a letter.

"There's a letter" Ruby opened the letter.

"Outside the hut there's a kitchen. Cook there and take a bath in the river. Don't try to leave because it's so dangerous, you're put here for your own good. In the kitchen there's a power bank and your cell phone."

"Mobile? Why are they giving us cell phones?" Ruby wondered.

"I don't understand but they're very kind to us" Thomas said.

"Try to unscrew the plastic wrap," Ruby pointed to an oily black plastic.

"Honey, it's food" Thomas said after opening the parcel.

"We just eat, I'm so hungry," Ruby opened the rice and ate it with a hearty meal.

Thomas also opened the parcel and ate with Ruby.

"We'll just get our phones tomorrow, yeah" Thomas said.

"All right" replied Ruby.

They talked about the possibilities and what the purpose of those people was to hold them.

"What time is it?" Ruby came closer to the window. He looked at the environment around him and realized something.

"Honey, the letter says we can cook and bathe outside. Does this mean the hut's been unlocked?" Ruby said to Thomas.

Thomas approached the wooden door and it was true that it was no longer locked.

"At least we are free to walk around the area around this place. Let's hope it's sunny tomorrow" Thomas said.

Thomas approached Ruby who was looking at the situation outside the hut from the window.

Thomas hugged Ruby's waist from behind.

"Honey," Ruby pinched Thomas's hand.

"I love you so much" Thomas said, clasping Ruby's two tiny hands tightly together.

Ruby turned to look at Thomas, they were in a position of mutual gaze. Thomas suddenly crouched down while still holding Ruby's hands together.

"Darling stop. No, Thomas" Ruby tried to let go of Thomas's hand.

"Oh shit, Thomas," Ruby rebelled.

Thomas carried Ruby like a newlywed couple.

Even though they were in a bad state, they were very grateful to still be together. It had crossed Ruby's mind, even though her fate would end in that place,he is grateful to be able to feel happy times with a man he greatly admired since the beginning of college and is currently his lover. Ruby loved Thomas so much, so did Thomas. She loves Ruby very much and will protect Ruby no matter what. He does not want his wife to be hurt by anyone. They passed the night happily.

"Oh shit. I lost," Ruby hugged Thomas tightly.

For 20 minutes they play 'game' which makes them take vows. Thomas whispered the word that Thomas loved him very much. Ruby really enjoyed the romantic moment, until suddenly..

"Argh" Ruby felt intense pain.

Thomas please!" Ruby asks Thomas to stop 'hurt' her.

Thomas ignored Ruby's words.

"God help me," Ruby shouted very loudly. But what power, in that place there are only them.

"Please stop, help Tho..." Ruby kept pleading with Thomas.

Ruby cried restraining the mixed feelings she felt.

"Honey," Ruby immersed herself in Thomas's arms.

"It's okay, baby" Thomas looked at Ruby as he rubbed his head.

Right now only Thomas' embrace can make Ruby feel safe. He believed that Thomas would always look after him, no matter what.

"Let's finish this crazy game" Ruby said after a moment of silence.

Thomas just fell silent and obeyed the wishes of his lover. Thomas never refused any of Ruby's wishes as long as what Ruby wanted made sense.

This time Ruby wanted to win the game that night.

"Don't stop," Ruby is getting immersed in their game.
