Steven's body was freezing, he felt like he was about to die. He shivered and sat up seeing he was in the middle of a blizzard, he didn't know where.
He felt some sort of warmth beside him and looked down to see it was a hand. He shrieked and backed away before deciding he should probably uncover it in case it was a person.
He began to dig through the snow and saw...

"Marc!" He shouted as Marc shot up and gasped. He began to shiver as he looked around in confusion.

"Steven?" Marc muttered as Steven pulled him to stand up with him.

"I-I don't know where we are, but we need to get somewhere warm." Steven said as Marc nodded, they began to trudge through the deep snow and blizzard.
They're legs were beginning to go numb when they saw a light ahead, they practically dragged each other up to where the light was.
They saw that it was a cave with a fire inside.

"Well, that's convenient." Marc muttered through his almost frozen lips.
He pulled Steven inside and they found a fire blazing but no one around. Marc made sure to get Steven sitting in front of the fire before he sat beside him.

"A-Any ideas what's going on?" Marc asked Steven.

"The only other time we've interacted as two seperate people was when we died. But if we died we would go back to the underworld and most likely the psych ward. This seems different." Steven stuttered out as he wrapped his arms around himself.

"None of this makes sense." Marc muttered placing his hands in front of the fire.

"It hurts." Steven muttered trying his best to warm his cold numb skin but nothing would work.

"We're going to have to take our pants off, before you say anything I'm not being creepy. Our pants are soaked from the snow and only adding to the cold, plus we both have boxers on." Marc said as Steven looked at him in thought. It would feel odd but he was right, his frozen pants weren't helping the cold he was feeling.
He quickly stripped odd his pants and laid them beside the fire in hope that they would dry, Marc did the same and sat a little closer to Steven trying to warm him up.

"Trust us to get into a situation like this just as soon as our lives went back to somewhat normal." Marc muttered watching Steven still shiver and wrap his own arms around himself. Steven seemed like he wasn't even listening, Marc could see Steven was panicking or upset.

"Steven?" Marc whispered placing his hand on Steven's shoulder.

"I-I just wanted some quiet." Steven whispered.

"A normal life for even two days, just us two enjoying a simple life." Steven continued as Marc looked at him sadly, he knew they could never have a normal life like Steven always wanted.

"I don't think we were cut out for a normal life buddy." Marc replied as Steven covered him face with his hands.

"I want to go home." Steven whispered in a broken voice.
Marc looked at him sadly.

"We'll figure this out Steven." Marc said as Steven looked up and looked at Marc.

"What if...What if we're inside our mind? We've had times when it wasn't us that did something. When someone other than us killed people." Steven muttered as Marc looked back at him.

"You might be on to something, the person doing so has made sure to keep us locked away in the mind. Maybe because we're more powerful now we're waking up inside our mind." Marc responded before a cold breeze ripped through the cave and made them shiver.

"Why is our mind like this?" Steven muttered shivering again.

"We both know the answer buddy." Marc said pulling off his shirt.

"Take off your shirt and lay in front of the fire. I don't want to know what happens if we freeze to death in our own mind." Marc said as Steven nodded slowly, he knew skin to skin contact would keep them both warm. But he was nervous none the less, yeah it was Marc, but they had only ever hugged and Steven hadn't exactly had any other affection other than kissing Layla.
Steven took off his shirt and placed it next to his pants before laying on his side on the hard ground.
He felt Marc lay behind him and press his body against Steven's.
Marc wrapped an arm around Steven's waist to bring him even closer, Steven couldn't help but sigh in relief feeling the warmth Marc had given him.

"What if whoever it is goes after Layla?" Marc whispered as Steven stared at the fire.

"He hasn't in the past, I don't think he would now. Everything will be okay Marc, like you said, we'll figure all of this out. Together." Steven whispered as Marc smiled a little.
Marc was beginning to warm up a little but he noticed Steven's body temperature hadn't changed.

"How are you feeling?" Marc asked as Steven tried his best to not shiver.

"I-I should warm up soon, I just..." Steven muttered before he turned around and cuddled his face into Marc's neck and pressed his body even closer.
Cuddled into the warmth of Marc and the fire on his back made him sigh in content.

"That feels better." Steven whispered as Marc held him in his arms.
Marc wouldn't admit it but the closeness he felt to Steven right now felt good for him. He hadn't had affection for a while, and with Steven it felt different but a good different.

"Looks like you both survived." Marc and Steven heard a voice say as they looked up to see a man that looked like them.

"You both already got naked huh?" He said as Marc and Steven quickly stood up, Marc placed Steven behind him to make sure he was protected.

"Who the hell are you?" Marc growled as Steven stuck close to him, he was still freezing but also afraid.

"Name's Jake Lockley. You two have become quite powerful together haven't you?" He said stepping closer to them.

"Let us out. You know this is hurting us." Marc growled before Jake looked at Steven and smiled.

"Why are you cowering away little worm?" Jake said as Steven's eyes widened, he knew who called him that name.

"Jake, it's okay. We're on the same team here, we don't need to fight." Steven muttered as Jake smiled at his innocence.

"I can see why you created him Marc, having such a sweet little thing like him around." Jake taunted as Marc glared at him and pushed Steven even further behind him.

"Let us out of here." Marc growled as Jake chuckled.

"Alright, you can go up Marc, go take control. I'll stay here with Steven." Jake said as Marc glared at him even more.

"I'm not leaving him here." Marc growled as Jake looked at them both.

"Then I suppose I'll take control and go visit your friend Layla." Jake said as Steven and Marc's eyes widened.

"So, Marc. What will it be? Steven or Layla?"
