AN: I don't own Darks, Link or anything Zelda, though I wish I did. Hope you enjoy the story. Let me know what you think and what not.
Darks
Darks played with the dog tags that dangled around his neck. The small silver chain held three engraved dog tags. One was for his best friend, Milo. Another was for Fall. The girl he dated before he knew for sure he was gay. And the last one was for his father who died at war.
He didn't know his father, but he knew stories of him. He heard about how he was kind and caring. He was one of those men who would stand by you no matter what. He was a one of a kind. He and his mother had been high school sweet hearts who went through everything together.
The two of them soon got married after college and had their first child on the way. That was little Basil. It was unfortunate that they never got to meet him. He was a miscarriage.
After Basil his mother cried for days blaming herself, saying she wasn't a good enough mother. That if she tried harder it would never have happened the way it did. She thought she would never have another chance. That's where Darks came in. A year after, his mother had Erebus. Erebus meant light within the Dark and so Darks was born.
"Erebus, get over here!"His mother called.
Darks trampled down the stairs his raven black hair bouncing with him. He skidded to a stop at the door and clung onto his mothers pale pink dress. She was crying looking at his father.
"Hunny, you got to understand it's for a cause. I promise to come back safely." His father spoke softly.
That was the last time they both seen him. Erebus was five years old. He didn't understand when the men in coats came to the door. He didn't know why mommy cried so hard and beat her fists into the porch. All he knew was that daddy went away and he was told he was never going to see him again.
Darks sat in the front of the moving van, his legs propped up on the dash.
"Erebus, take your feet off from there!"His mother snapped at him while she turned the corner and continued to drive the over sized van.
"I don't see why we had to sell our house and move into theirs!"He stated coldly glaring over at her.
Her light blond hair and chocolate eyes scanning him. He looked nothing like her. Some people often thought he was adopted by her, but it wasn't true. He was really his mothers pride and glory just he looked much more like his father.
Darks brushed some of his black hair to the side of his face exposing his bloody orbs. He turned away from the women and pressed his forehead to the cold glass window.
I don't like this...not one freaking god damned bit... he though as he watched as the scene outside changed from one to another every minute that passed it seemed like years. His eyes were getting heavy, but flashed open when he felt the van jerk to a moving stop.
Darks turned to his mother who was smiling and waving out the window to someone who was standing out on the front porch. He peered out the opposite window and looked the man up and down.
He wasn't that bad looking, but she could have done much better he thought. Darks slipped out of the seat belt an opened the door slowly stepping out.
The wind, penetrating his bare arms sent a shiver that went straight down to the core of him.
"Try to be friendly...I know you never meant them but still..."He rolled his eyes in annoyance and nodded to her.
A course he had never meant them. He skipped going to their wedding to go out and party with a group of friends. Who would choose to go to a wedding then the party of the year?
His mom had to be crazy for thinking he would really go to such a lame event. Darks looked away from the man and quickly walked past her bypassing the hug his new father was offering him.
No way in hell would he hug some dude.
