Dark's POV

The day was done. I stood alone on the back porch. I crossed my arms and leaned on the railing, looking up at the stars. I smiled at them, watching the glow and shine from miles and miles away. I looked over at the radio that I left sitting out on the porch. I walked over to it and turned it on. The music was soft and quiet, the sweet tune calming and peaceful. I walked back over to the edge of the deck. I closed my eyes and focused on the music, listening to the way each instrument sounded. I started to sway my hips to the beat, smiling as the music got faster. I heard the door open, I looked over to see Anti. He chuckled and walked over to me.

"Dark, what on earth are ya doin out here?" He asked me, chuckling over his words. Almost seeming like he was trying hard not to laugh.

"Dancing, can't you tell?"

"You look like an idiot." He crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head, smirking a bit.

"Think I didn't know that already?" We both laughed for a bit. Once we stopped I heard the song change to a more upbeat and happy song.

"Wanna dance with me? No one's watching."

"Dark, you know I don't like to dance with other people around." I covered my eyes with my forearm and reached my hand out to him.

"No one's watching." I heard a nervous chuckle before a hand held my own. I pulled my arm away just a bit to see Anti smiling and dancing with his eyes shut, still keeping a grasp on my hand. I grabbed his other hand and danced with him. The song drifted into silence before starting up with a Disney song that I enjoyed, well Mark did. I chuckled and pulled Anti closer, singing the song into his ear softly.

"Can you feel the love tonight... The peace the evening brings... The world, for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things....Can you feel the love tonight...You needn't look far...Stealing through the night's uncertainties... Love is where they are-" I didn't even have time to think before I knew what was happening. Anti was kissing me. He wrapped his arms around my waist. I felt frozen, my heart was racing a thousand beats per minute. I shakily wrapped my arms around his shoulders. He smiled into the kiss before pulling away. Leaving his forehead against mine. I could feel the warmth radiating off my cheeks. He smiled at me, I looked away shyly.

"And I thought I'd be the shy one." I did too, if I had ever managed enough courage to kiss him I thought he'd be the one blushing and shy. Never once did I think it would be me.

"W-well I uh..." I cleared my throat and thought about my stutter, dear lord what is this man doing to me. I'm a feared demon, I have slayed a dragon in my underpants, I HAVE FANGIRLS AND THIS IS WHAT I'M BLUSHING ABOUT!??!?! I felt a hand on my cheek as I pulled myself out of my thoughts. Anti, smiling sweetly at me. I moved my arms down his body until I could wrap my arms around his waist, he pulled me closer and I rested my head on his shoulder. We sat their in peaceful stillness just listening to the music. He jumped when one of my alltime favorite songs came on, blaring out of the radio. I recognized the opening and smiled, pulling away from him. I turned my eyes black, only leaving my red iris the only color left in my eyes. I let my claws and tail grow out.

"The secret side of me, I'd never let you see. I keep it caged but I can't control it. So stay away from me, the beast is ugly. I feel the rage and I just can't hold it." I sang in my normal metalish song singing voice. It wasn't long before Anti joined in too. Once the song peaked we both looked at each other and said in our most demonic voice possible.

" I fEEl lIkE A mOnstEr!!!" After the song stopped, we stopped singing and looked at each other, still looking very much demon like. I snickered, he snorted before we both fell to the floor laughing. Once we both finally calmed down from our giggle high, I looked over to find that we probably looked like a movie scene from Fault in Our Stars. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I thought he looked better than I did in his demon form. One eye had a blue iris while the other was green, the whites of his eyes black. The smile that scares most but I just think is awesome. Most of the time, he was out doing demon stuff and that left me here at home to do everything. Not that I didn't like it, I liked keeping myself busy, the part I didn't like was that I was alone all day. There have been times where Anti hasn't come home for weeks on end. I had a dog but she often went with Anti to help him out. I looked back up at the sky. I may have been day dreaming in the night but I swear I saw people made of stars dancing together in the sky.

"Quiet, calm, peaceful, alone." Anti spoke, cutting the silence between us.

"What?" I pulled my eyes away from the stars and looked at him.

"Isn't that what it's like to be here?" I sighed, he was right.

"Yeah, I mean, it's not like we have a choice. You have to go and work, and I have to hold down the fort here at home." He sat up and moved so he way lying right next to me, I rolled over on my side so I'd face him.

"I hate to tell you this but, I have to leave for 3 months..."

"Why!? Aren't there other demons that can do whatever it is you're gonna be doing?! You almost never get a break. Heck coming home tonight was even a surprise to me." I was so mad, not at him but his job. They always take him away from me, from his home, from his friends, from everyone. They never tell him what he's doing, only how long he'll be gone for.

"They told me I was the right one for the job. They mentioned a raise and more time home if I did this right....Whatever it is." He stopped and looked down at the wooden floor.

"I don't wanna leave ya again Dark...I'm sick of it...I'm tired of it...But I can't quit, not yet."

"What are we gonna do...?" He sighed sadly and shook his head looking at the ground.

"I have no idea."

"When do you leave?"

"In 3 days."

"Then were gonna spend those three days together, okay?" I smiled at im, even if it was just the slightest of one. He hugged me close and I hugged him. The music had stopped long ago, now it was just us, holding one another close.
