Is this 7 lines? No. It is close to 7 paragraphs, though and that's good enough for me. Also, this scene just feels wrong without all of it.

From Chapter 3 of In the In-Between:

"What happened? Are you okay?" Goh asks that night at dinner. 

Ash hasn't talked about what happened between him and Zoroark. Not one to push, Goh wants to let his boyfriend come to him; but the worry still gnaws at him. He might trust Zoroark with his life, yet Goh knows that that feeling hasn't been mutual with Ash. 

The trainer sighs. He sits at the dining room table and plays with his food — another sign that something weighs on his mind. Ash never turns down food. He does tonight, though.

"I'm sorry that I didn't trust you." Ash says.

It throws Goh off. He appreciates the apology, but it hadn't been the first thing on his mind. He wants to know that Ash is okay — the apologies can come later.

Me reading my favorite fanfic:

Again, from the second chapter of In the In-Between! Had some issues with this part, but I'm glad I did include it for the chapter.

Ash looks where it points, and he notices the three islands across from him — he's on Shamouti. He begins to ask something else when a splash comes from the ocean below. Cocooned in a sphere of water, a white beast breaks through. Blue plates line the ridge of its back, folding in as hand-like wings face the beast to the sky.

A blue ball of energy forms in its open mouth, and it shoots a beam of blue light into the sky. Dark clouds form where the god of the sea fired its attack — rain pours down, coating the dry land. It's a new beginning, a new reset to an island on the brink of collapse.

The vision flickers.

Hmmm… I had to think about this one a bit. Technically, my last line is in a much later chapter of God in the Midst; but I don't know that I'm ready to spoil just yet. So, I'm going to post the last few lines of the next chapter of In the In-Between. In an attempt to get the motivation to complete it.

"What do you want if you win?" Ash asks.

The fox grins at him, teeth bared menacingly as the shadows beside it fall back into the snow at its feet. "You to listen to Goh."
