Dark picks me up from school and instantly started asking questions.

"How was school?"

"Good!"

"Did anything happen?"

"Well..I made a friend named Sam. He sits next to me! Though he smells like cheese."

Dark laughs, "Cheese, eh?"

"Yep. It's kinda gross but he's still my friend!"

"That's good to hear, I suppose."

We get home with no other word and I come running to the front door. I try to open the door but it won't budge!!

"Calm down, kid." Dark said, "let me unlock it first."

"Unlock?"

"Yes, Like... undoing a locked room with a thing called a key."

Dark opens the door and I come flying into the house.

"ANTIIIII?"

I hear footsteps come running from downstairs. Once when I see him I come running to him. Anti bends down, grabs me off the floor, and hugs me.

"Anti missed you!!!!" The door closes.

"I missed you too!!" I bury my face in his neck.

"Jeez Guys, it's only been about 6 hours-"

"IT FELT LIKE AN ETERNITY FOR ME!" Anti squeezes me close, "I was worried."

Dark stays still for a moment, "it's just school Anti. It's not like people are just gonna let something bad happen."

"Hey! You never know!"

"I'm just gonna go to my room.." Dark sighs.

It was silent for a moment until I smelt something familiar, "cookies!?"

"Oh, yeah! I forgot I had them out for you!" We go into the kitchen and grab a lot of cookies to eat.

We decide to play a game while we eat cookies. We were gonna watch a show or movie but there is nothing new, so we found a game in one of the closets instead! Luckily I actually have played this game with my Sam plushy before, so I know how to play!

"How are we supposed to play this game?" He asks.

~ D A R K ' S P O V ~

I hear laughs, I hear voices, I hear everything.

I hate it.

Now I live inside my phone, playing games or looking up how to get a friend back. None of it seemed to help.

Was this what Anti felt like with me? Did he feel like this? For the longest time, too. My Jesus if he did I realize how weak he is. Weak in physical. But mentally he is the strongest demon existence.

Ugh, I'm a depressed demon. Something that all demons get at one point. I've had it before, but it's occurring back. That little girl ruined everything for me. Everything. I was once...well...non-depressed before she came along. I just wish Anti never met that little human of his.

I wish I didn't meet Anti.

Because I met Anti, we always had trouble finding food-had trouble training him to get food. I was always the boss yet felt like an employee. Always doing all the work.

Because of Anti, I am in this depressed state. If he didn't act like the way he does, I bet I wouldn't have any gray hairs. He is a little play toy that has too many parts to connect and too many batteries for it to work. If he didn't ever pick up this stupid child, then I would be the same as I was years ago. Maybe even better off. But no.

Because of Anti, he and I seem like enemies now. We used to not get along as well, but the child made it worse. Now when we just make eye contact it seems like Anti scruffs at me like I'm some monster. Why? I know I don't have the same opinion as keeping the child, but that doesn't mean I'm a total monster.

I just wish he would like me the way I like him.

~ A N T I ' S P O V ~

We hang out all day, all the way till dinner! It was so much fun, hanging out with my little Chocolate is the only thing I desire. Dark always goes into his room instead of joining us though. Lately he's been stuck in his room more often, even when Chocolate was at school. I wonder why..

While making dinner, I hear Dark come out of his room after hours. Chocolate is in her room playing with her little dolls and toys. I look at him while cooking—he doesn't look so good.

"You okay Dark?" I look back at the food.

I hear him stop all of his movements like I just spoke a whole different language at that one moment.

"Um...wow, I'm fine."

"Why with the surprised voice?"

"Well, all that we do is argue, so this is the first."

I look at him in the eyes for one second until he breaks eye contact and walks away to the dinner table. I never realized that we actually argue....a lot. More then I have realized. Even today we argued over Dark never coming out of his room, he wouldn't tell me why.

I hear little footsteps come to the kitchen, "Anti! Anti! What are you making?"

"I'm making Mac and cheese! You want some?"

"Yeah!!"

"Go get a plate, then!"

I watch her run out of my vision to get the plates. I finish the meal with some touches to make sure it was good, and soon it was ready.

"Darky, can you help me get the plates!?"

Dark. She asks Dark.

Why not me?

I turn my head out of confusion and see him walk over to help. I don't think he notices me looking.

"The plates?" He asks.

"Yeah! I want them."

"Well, find a way to get up to the counter, we're not gonna be here to help you forever." He crosses his arms.

"But dark-"

"If you want to grow, you gotta find how to do things with your brain."

Chocolate looks around the counter. She looks at the shelves, the things on top of the counter, she looks at any possibilities. I, and Dark, sees plenty of things, but Chocolate is still stuck.

"I don't see anything!" She wines.

"There's plenty of things to do to help yourself get up there! Let me show you."

Dark opens one of the drawers next to her that was low enough for her to climb on it. Chocolate gasps with amazement like he is some kind of genius.

"YAYY! Thanks darky!" She reaches to grab a plate.

I look at Dark with wide eyes. His smile disappears instantly when he realizes I've been watching. His smile. His smile is so odd on his face. You'd never thing he has smiled in his lifetime. We keep eye to eye for 5 whole seconds. It felt like a whole lifetime looking into his eyes. I haven't looked into his eyes like this in a very long time. I have forgotten how it felt looking into his eyes. I have forgotten how it felt looking at him smile.

He clears his throat and breaks the long eye contact.

"Look Anti, I did it!"

I look down at her, and couldn't help but to smile at her glowing eyes of enthusiasm. I bend down to my knees.

"You did a fantastic job, Chocolate."

She smiles so big I thought she couldn't even see. I went to look back at Dark, but he wasn't there anymore.

I sigh and poured some mac and cheese onto her plate and gave her a fork. She walks to the chairs and climbs her way on top of it. Usually I would help her onto the chair, but she's learning.

She's growing up.

I went over to the dinner table to see if Dark was there, but he wasn't. The only place he would be is his room, so I told Chocolate to stay there and to not move. I went over to his room and opened the door. Complete blackness filled the room besides his phone screen shining light onto his face. He looks at me right when the door opens.

I turn on the lights, "Dark." He stays silent, "Do you want Mad and Cheese, or no."

"No. But thanks though." He almost stutters saying 'thanks'.

I sigh and close the door, turning off the lights while doing so. It feels so weird just talking to him now. Why does it feel so weird? What has he done for me to feel this way? It's like I feel sad for him yet happy because he was happy seeing Chocolate. But why do I feel sad?

I try my best to shake off the feeling and come back to Chocolate, who has almost already ate the whole plate.

"Hey! When did I tell you to eat? I wanted to eat with you!"

"I was just super hungry! I couldn't help it!"

I laugh, and so does she. Happiness is seeking back into my body once again. It's like Chocolate is my whole world, which technically she is. If she's gone then I wouldn't know what to do with myself anymore. She has helped me not be bored anymore—not to be sad anymore.

But I think me doing this is forgetting how Dark feels as well.
