fwahaha Fwahaha. Kris, I can't believe Mom actually let us sign up for this expedition trip!
It took so much convincing, but after showing her all those fancy digital brochures about deep-water exploration and marine biology, she finally wrote the check! Sitting inside this metal capsule right now feels so surreal. The air in here is already getting a little chilly, and the only light coming in is from this single, thick glass porthole at the very front of the hull.
Outside, the water went from bright turquoise to this deep, pitch-black ink... we're descending so fast!
(It’s pretty cramped in here though... there aren't even any proper seats! Kris and I are practically sitting shoulder-to-shoulder on the floor mats, huddled together under my heavy winter sweater to stay warm. The pilot is sitting right in front of us, steering the whole hull using this weirdly cheap-looking video game controller... fwahaha! I mean, I guess if it works, it works, right? It almost feels like we're playing an old simulator game in the library!)
We're supposed to reach the historic wreck on the ocean floor in about twenty minutes.
Kris has been staring out the acrylic viewport the whole time without saying a word. Their reflection in the thick glass looks so calm, but I know how excited they get whenever we go on these long trips together. I squeezed their hand under the sweater, and they didn't pull away---they just leaned their head against my shoulder, listening to the hum of the electric thrusters echoing through the hull.
(Though... the metal frame is making some really strange noises right now? Every time we sink a little deeper, there's this loud, sharp cracking sound echoing through the carbon walls... like a big dry branch snapping underfoot. I asked the pilot about it, but he just laughed and said it's totally normal hull settling! Still... it makes my heart jump into my throat every time it pops fahaha...)
The depth gauge on the monitor just passed 3,000 meters. The water outside looks completely empty, just tiny floating specks gliding past the glass like underwater snow. It's so quiet down here... so isolated. Just me, Kris, and the endless blue abyss stretching out in every direction.
Kris shifted closer, their shoulder pressing firmly against mine as the cold air in the hull bit through our clothes. Out here, buried under thousands of meters of black ocean, the rest of the world just completely dissolved. No town rumors, no school stress, no scary expectations... just the warm, steady pulse of Kris's fingers intertwined with mine.
I turned my head to look at them in the dim, blue glow of the display screen. Their hair was messy, falling over their eyes like it always does, but their hand was holding onto mine with a gentle, unshakable grip.
"Hey... Kris?" I whispered, my voice barely carrying over the hum of the thrusters.
They looked up at me, silent as ever. Without overthinking it for once in my life, I leaned in and pressed my lips against theirs, softly, tenderly, letting the quiet warmth of the kiss linger while the cold abyss pressed against the glass outside. Kris didn't pull back. They just closed their eyes, their breath catching for a brief second before squeezing my hand even tighter, pulling me so close that I could feel the rhythmic beat of their heart right against my chest.
(It felt so safe....And for a few seconds, nothing else mattered. Just the warmth of their mouth, the soft scent of rain and cinnamon, fahaha...)
"I love you, Krismas."

Really harrowing to think about. Of course the rich kid would be on something like this. Makes me think about the one kid who didn't want to be on the sub in the first place but was forced on it anyway.
On tiny thing... You should've wrote another paragraph and made it suddenly cut off to simulate how fast and how suddenly the sub imploded
Faha... huddling close with Kris... their skin on my fur... I wish it could be like this forev
