I could not believe what he just said. How could he do such a thing? Did something happened while I was not looking? Was it because he did not tolerated the fact that Palutena wanted to tear us apart forever?

Or was it for other reasons? I need answers, but I am terrified to even say something about that confession. I swallowed my heart down the throat that had jolted up from the shock. I wanted to figure out what to say or what to ask but no matter what, I could not. 

My mind was blank and was busy processing everything. I did not want to mess up or, I would be sure be dead if I do. I opened my mouth slightly, and whispered something not understandable but by the look of his face, I could tell he heard me.

"What happened, what did you do?" I asked shaking slightly. My blue eyes started to scan his features, trying my best to let him know I was desperated to know the asnwers of my questions. I kept my look on his face, and... I could not, for the first time, tolerate his fiery red eyes staring at me, now dull in color. I lowered my head a little and thought about his face for a period of time.

His eyes looked as if his soul had gone out of his body. He had a blank expression, almost unreadable. It was like, as if he was dead out of guilt of what he did. It was... disturbing. 

He finally could say something after a long, uncomfortable pause in pure silence of the room. He sighed loudly and started: "Pit... My dear Pit. I could not stay put and do nothing about our relationship. I want to be with you, only you."

"With no disturbance, nothing at all that can cross on our ways. I want to keep you safe, away from harmful looks and words. I needed to do something to make Palutena change her mind about us. One night, when you were deeply sleeping, I went to look for Palutena and talk about the situation. It seemed she did not liked the idea of chatting it out and left me alone to go to the kitchen."

" I followed her and while she was distracted carrying plates, I took out my foot and she tripped, making her head hit the counter. Palutena was unconscious after it, and I... just left her there. Viridi found her still on the floor the next day and I knew about it. That's why I kept you in my room for this amount of time."

"I knew she would not remember some of the events, but I was afraid that if she saw you she would had remembered. But I guess, I was proven wrong." Dark Pit had finally ended his story. I kept my eyes on his, and his eyes slowly turned that fierce red I have known for a long time. 

His entire face slowly glew in color as affectionate words crawled on my ears. I know it was for a short period of time in silence, but it felt as it had been going on for hours. Hearing his normal, caring voice was better than anything I would need in life.

That short explanation was more than enough to answer all the questions that had been fading away as he kept going on. But I still could not believe he did that all because of our relationship. He could have killed her by doing such act!

But, now that I think of it, it was for the good. Palutena did not wanted us to be together, she even said it herself a long time ago. Now I see that my darker self, Dark Pit, truly loves me as much as I do and has clearly proven it on the explanation as well.

I guess, we have to do sacrifices just to love someone else.

HOW WAS IT? GOOD?
