Deep breath.
[ His hand slid under Mitch's chin, tilting him up to take one last breath in the pocket of air they had, before he was leaning in to press their lips together again. Chaste, this time, no sense in risking the water rushing in, but no less urgent, fingers holding Mitch's with crushing force. God, he really hoped this worked.
Then the water closed over their heads, and then there wasn't time to even hope. ]
