Strangers in the Storm
Ah well, trying to use Story + Cover instead of Art + Story type of submission, what do you think?
Also this is a commission by a friend at InkBunny, Part 1
_ Strangers in the Storm _
It was by pure coincidence that the two strangers had to share a cave during storm.
They started by talking about each other to pass the time. The Sandshrew was on a mission from his guild when the storm kicked in. While the Eevee was simply on a journey to find his place in the world.
The two then found out that they have many things in common. Both of them knew loneliness. And both of them had suffered the lasting effect from abandonement.
It wasn't surprising when both of them bonded so quickly.
They had ran out of things to talk about, but the storm didn't show any sign of clearing.
As the night approaches and the temperature dropped. The shy Sandshrew and Eeevee sit closer. It was mutual need of heat when both of the strangers hugged closely.
It was when the Sandshrew tried to stand up, he tripped on his own tail and feel on the Eevee. Their lips meet as they fell down.
Both completely flustered, but neither wish to move away. They were more accepting of each other since they feel the bond between them from having similar past.
They knew.
That this is the beginning of a long and lasting relationship.
