What Happened?

Dark slowly open his eyes and quickly closed them again as the morning sun swept over him. After a few moments of waking up properly, Dark opened his eyes once more and was very surprised at what he saw. His arms were wrapped around a sleeping Towa, who was clinging to his t-shirt. He had no idea how either of them had got there or what had happened the night before. He also couldn't explain the passionate feelings he now had for Towa. He closed his eyes, again, and tried to think about what had happened.

Dark was sat in his room at the Niwa's house, staring out of the window at the dying sun. He was lost in thought although he wasn't really thinking about anything. He was brought back to the real world by a sot nock at the door. He turned his eyes towards the door and said, in a casual tone; "Come in." The door opened and Dark was very surprised to see the silver haired maid come in. Towa stood next to the door, head down, in silence. 'This is odd,' Dark thought, 'It's not like Towa to be so quiet.' "Is something the matter?" he asked curiously, trying to get a look at the young maids face.

Towa gave a deep sigh and finally spoke, not looking up; "Th-there's something I think you should know."

Dark frowned at her words but waited, patiently, or her to continue.

"I..." The rest of Towa's sentence became a whisper as her voice failed.

"Sorry?" Dark said, "I didn't catch the last bit."

Towa sighed, again, before repeating what she had said, louder and in a bit of a hurry. "I love you."

Dark was very taken aback to here this and stared, shocked, as Towa blushed, deeply. "Towa, I-I never knew," was the only thing Dark managed to say.



"I'll understand if you don't feel the same way," Towa said and or the first time, since she had entered the room, she looked up at Dark. Her green eyes were full of tears, she looked ready to cry.

"Look, I..."

'No,' dark thought, 'I have no idea what to say.' He shook his head, trying to think. Towa took his shake as the answer to her question and led the room, tears running down her face. Dark sat, thinking o how he really felt about Towa before getting up and going to find her.

It didn't take him long. He found Towa sitting in a corner of her room, facing the wall. 'She may be good at finding things,' Dark thought to himself, 'but she really can't hide.'

He sat on the floor next to Towa with his back against the wall. Something was burning deep down inside himself. "You left before I had a chance to finish what I was going to say," Dark said," The truth is, I feel the same way about you."

Towa looked up at Dark. Her eyes were red and tears still streamed down her face. Dark smiled as he reached out and wiped them away.

"Y-you really mean that?" Towa asked and Dark nodded in reply. He felt the thing burning deep inside himself grow stronger as she smiled too. Dark placed an arm around Towa and pulled her toward him. Then they shared their first, and surely not last, passionate kiss.

Dark smiled as the sweet memories of last night settled down in his mind forever. He pulled Towa closer to him, trying not to wake her. Then he placed his head against hers and closed his eye, joining his sleeping love in the land of dreams.
