Here's the not so long awaited sequel to Nothing Left. Many thanks to BLC, my Beta and fellow author.
I
Senseless life
I'm born into a world so cold
I cannot understand
Why the fate has chosen me
I'm born as a living dead
Useless youth
I dream about a world beyond
I feel so helpless
Cause something's breeding inside of me
My life is fading with every day
The sands of time
Running fast
My life is near, near its end
With a soul of a child
Imprisoned in a body
Hundreds of years old
My life is fading away
"Dark, wait up!" Will called out.
Dark stopped and waited for the brunette to catch up. Will held up a hand as he tried to catch his breath.
"You okay, Will? Dark asked. "Are you sure you don't want me to carry that?"
Will nodded and shifted the huge backpack. "I can handle it, Dark."
The brunette took two steps before he lost his balance and fell. Dark laughed and helped him up. Then, the Kaito shouldered the backpack. Will pouted and Dark laughed again. They entered a hotel and rode the elevator in silence. When they reached the top floor, they exited and Dark took out his key, opening the penthouse suite.
Will walked in and kicked his shoes off. Dark followed suit and placed the backpack on the table.
"I can't believe we pulled it off. I thought for sure I would bungle the job," Will said.
"You don't give yourself enough credit, Will. For a beginner, you're pretty good."
Dark tossed a can of soda at him and Will caught it. Dark went over to the backpack and pulled out a diamond necklace. He pulled out other pieces of jewelry and arranged them according to type and length. Will sipped his soda and watched.
"So what are we going to do with the Royal Jewels?" Will asked.
Dark looked thoughtful for a second and then, he shrugged.
"Return them, I guess."
Will started laughing and Dark looked at him. He cocked his head, slightly confused.
"Why are you laughing?"
Will waited until he could stop laughing before he replied.
"That was the last thing I expected you to say. I've only been with you for two months and I still don't know what you're going to do or say next."
"I only wanted to steal them because they were labeled as unable to be stolen. I like a challenge. Now that we've proven they can be stolen, we have no need to keep them. We're not lowly thieves but Kaitos," Dark said, slightly annoyed.
Will nodded and threw the empty soda can away. Dark stood up and placed the jewelry in a ornate carved mahogany box. Will went into the bathroom and took a shower. When he came out, Dark was gone with the box.
Will turned off the lights and sat on the bed, drying his hair in the dark. The older Kaito would be back. Will yawned and fell asleep. An hour later, Dark landed on the balcony and opened the doors leading into the suite. His wings vanished and he closed the glass doors, pulling the curtains across them.
He walked over to the bed and gazed at the sleeping brunette. He brushed light brown bangs off his cheek and smiled lightly. Dark went into the bathroom and changed into black pajama pants. He winced as he stood back up. Every now and then his legs would get sore.
He went back into the bedroom and laid down next to Will. The brunette curled into him almost immediately. Dark smiled and placed an arm around the younger Kaito.
When Dark had arrived in London two months ago, the last thing he had expected was to find another Kaito. Will had been running from the police because he had blundered a job. Dark had intervened and used his magic to alter the constables' memories. He took the young man back to his hotel room and learned that there were others like them.
Dark was overjoyed when he learned this. Will didn't know where the others had gone. He had silver wings which was as rare as the white and black wings. Dark had told Will an abbreviated version of his life. Will had told him that since he had a heartbeat that he was real. Will had accepted him.
Dark closed his eyes and snuggled closer to him. Will opened his eyes a bit and closed them again. Neither one wanted to lose what they had just found. Dark had found a reason to exist. Will had found someone to love. They weren't alone anymore. The sands of time had begun for each of them when they first set their eyes upon the other.
