A new oneshot! This one was the theme of a Wild Card, so I got to pick something Halloween-related. I had trouble thinking of something, and finally went with fog. I hope you like it!

…

He sped down the patchwork highway, zigzagging around gaping holes and stalled cars. He didn't know how long those vehicles were there or how long ago they were abandoned, but he didn't care. All that mattered right now was getting home safely.

Getting back to her.

If only this accursed fog wasn't in the way… He had long since memorized the route to her small abode, but the white mist made it harder to tell if any new obstacles were in the way. It would probably help if he wasn't going a hundred and sixty kilometers per hour on such a dangerous road, but he couldn't help it. There was something about her that made him feel alive.

When he pictured her, sitting in the window by the door, waiting for him to come back in one piece, he knew he had to hurry. He was already late, and he would hate himself if he made her worry anymore than she already was.

Ever since she had taken him in a half-year ago, he knew he'd found his home. He helped her, of course. He didn't just take all the hospitality she'd offered when she found him injured and broken. As soon as he was able, he insisted on helping her with little things around the place. From washing dishes to doing laundry, he didn't care. As long as he could help and show her a bit of his gratitude for saving him so long ago.

A bitter chuckle tumbled from his lips when he remembered how the fog tonight was reminiscent of the night they'd first met. When he'd woken up after she nursed him back to health, he'd looked out the window to find a thick fog like the one blanketing the night tonight.

He never really did like fog, though he had to admit he was glad he'd met her.

He would never be able to forsake meeting her.

So... Thoughts on this one? Who do you think it's about? I have my theory, but I'd love to hear yours!
