You stood in front of his door with your letter in hand. Today would be the day. Today would be the day where you finally got the nerve to try and tell him exactly how you felt.

Today: your fairy tale would come to life.

All you had to do was knock.

You raised your hand to the door and hesitated. Why were you nervous? You knew in your heart that he loved you back. He had to. You knew that this was your moment with him.

All you had to do was knock.

You finally move your fist and rap once.

Twice.

Thrice.

You could hear Chica barking instinctively inside while Mark called he was coming. You couldn't help but giggle at the familiarity of it all. Either that or your nerves were overriding everything. Everything will be ok (Y/n)! Just wait a little-

The door began opening and you held the letter behind your back. He opened the door to reveal himself in some casual wear, a fresh smile on his face. "Oh, hey (Y/n)! I didn't know you were coming! Come in!"

You wanted to stop him but already he was taking you by hand into the house. You smiled warmly as he took you to the living room. "Do you want something to drink?"

You shook your head, still smiling. Always acting like a gentleman.

He nodded. "Alright alright…" There was silence for a little while. "So, would you mind me asking why you came today? I mean, you didn't text like you normally would so…"

You nod again, chuckling. "Yeah, I suppose that is a bit out of the ordinary isn't it?" You laughed a little more to yourself as he tried to laugh along with you. "Well...I didn't really know a way to explain my coming without being in person and...well…" You sighed and got up from the couch, pulling out your letter from behind.

"What are you…?"

He didn't finish as you handed it over to him.

He paused and took it, looking at it. "(Y/n), wh-what is this?"

"Just read it. Please," you say, looking down to the ground.

There was a pause before you could hear him lightly tearing at the seal. Then, he removed your letter and you guessed he was reading it. You waited.

You waited with hopes that he would accept your feelings.

You waited for the first loving hug you two would share.

You waited for maybe even a kiss to seal off your fates in this whole new world!

You waited.

And waited.

Then… "(Y/n)?"

You looked up to him excitedly. "Yes?"

...He...he didn't seem excited. He offered a weak smile. "I...I appreciate the letter. I really do but…" He sighed as he placed the letter back in the envelope and handed it back to you. "I...I just don't feel the same way. I love you but...more in like a sister-to-brother fashion, not in a…'romantic' way. I'm sorry but…" He put the envelope towards you more. "I can't."

You stared at the letter for some time before shaking your head and backing away. "N-No, keep it. I-I don't want it."

He tilted his head. "Are you sure?"

You nodded your head, trying to hold back your pain. "Yep. I-I'm completely sure. W-We can just l-look back on it and laugh about it, y'know?" You began laughing.

He nodded a little, not being able to see that you were breaking. "Yeah. I guess…" He sighed and then held you close, making you want to cry out in pain. "Just know that at some point, someone is going to come along and make you really happy. And they'll deserve that letter from you, more than I ever could."

'...You made me really happy…' you thought to yourself as you tried to keep calm.

You sighed and nodded, pushing away from him and giving him a pained smile. "Well, that was all I wanted to come by and talk about. I'm gonna be going."

"Do you have to leave so soon? We could-"

"No no, I have a few errands to run, y'know?" You laughed and began to walk towards the door at a brisk pace. "See you Mark!"

"...Yeah...see you…"

All you could feel was pain. Your heart was in pieces and you felt sick. You felt sick and awful and wanted nothing more than to lay down in front of the TV and watch your romantic movies to yell at them for having a perfect fricking life. How dare they show off these themes and ideas that never happen in real life? How dare they make people think they could have whatever they pursue?They were wrong and stupid and deserved to crash and burn!

You held onto your tub of ice cream as you name called those on the screen.

There was no happiness.

There was no love.

There was only reality.

And that reality was without Mark.

You would...You would just have to live with it.

*Dark's POV*

That selfish son of a-

"MARK!"

He yelped in pain and got down on his knees as I yelled in his head. "Calm down calm down! What?"

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!"

"Do what?"

"Do what-WHY THE HELL DID YOU REJECT HER?!"

He yelped in more pain. "I-I don't understand. Can you please get out of my head for a minute?"

I groaned in annoyance and stepped out of his head to form in front of him. I glared at him with daggers. "Why did you reject her?"

He blinked. "What was I supposed to do? Lie and tell her I love her back?"

"No, you were supposed to love her," I corrected.

"I don't feel the same way!"

I blew a few raspberries. "Yeah right. Then why the hell lead her on?!"

"Lead her on? I never-"

"You hung out with her more than once or twice a week, you invited her out often, you often told her she made you happy. You even said, and I quote, 'Awe, imagine if we were like that' with a picture of a couple of elderly people who were goofing around after being married for 50 years."

"But I just meant as in the goofiness! Not in that other way!" he rejected.

I growled. "But now it doesn't matter what you meant! You hurt her!"

"Yeah, and why do you care so suddenly? Huh? You never care about anything but this-THIS got your attention? Why? Huh? Why did this get your attention Dark?"

I shook my head and turned around. "You two were meant for each other-"

"No, we weren't. Quit saying that as though you had-..." He paused. "Wait...you...you don't…"

I glared at him. "Don't you dare say-"

"Like her...do you?" he finished.

I glared at him for a longer amount of time before looking away. He blinked and laughed. "R-Really Dark? You like her? I didn't even realize-"

"Quiet."

"But really, how? I mean, aren't you part of me-"

"Yes I am, which is why I'm outraged by your choice." I glared at him. "By being part of you, I have been able to observe how you interact with her and how much you've led her on. I've been able to see how she acts when she's around you and wish that you would've just held her close and kissed her. But no. You decided on your own terms that you did not feel anything for her!"

"Well what am I supposed to do? Just live with the fact that I would never be able to pursue someone I actually love?"

I glared at him but...he was right. No man deserved to go through that torture. They could always say they can learn to live with it but...reality doesn't work that way.

I looked down. "I'm...sorry."

Mark nodded and came over to me, hugging me. "It's alright buddy-you have strong feelings for her. I understand…" He paused. "...Wait." He let me go and I looked to him. "Why can't you just go after her?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, totally. A demon go after a woman who was attracted to his look-a-like human. Genius!"

He shook his head. "No, really. I mean you're of your own-You don't have to go by what I do."

"But who's to say she would even give me a chance? I'm a demon!"

He paused. "...Who's to say she won't?"

I paused at this statement and stared at him as I mused over this.

*Time Skip!*

I made my way over to her house in his car. I didn't know what to expect but...I had hope. I had hope that maybe she'd listen...even if it's behind closed eyes.

I remember the first time we met her. It was around the time we were in elementary and we didn't have any idea as to where we were supposed to go and our mom had just dropped us off in the front.

The time was already 7:58 and we were panicking. During our moment of distress, we accidentally ran into her as she was running to her own. I was mostly grouchy about the ordeal as Mark helped her up. Ended up being they had the same class though so she led us to where we needed to go.

From that point on, she began to hang out with us at lunch and would come over from time to time to watch movies. She loved the romantic fairy tale ones. She'd always talk and talk on about them and how she just admired them.

But not only that-she loved video games as well. So, that meant more time was spent with Mark and our brother Thomas.

Eventually as time went on, she just sort of grew on us. It was weird not seeing her every other day and even when she was sick we'd come over to her house and bring her soup. Even her parents liked us.

And...we just grew together. That is-until Mark decided to take off with his career to L.A. He just up and left all of his friends-including her. I was mad at him. He didn't even warn me or anything-he just took off!

I get it-he's his own person but I was still stuck to him!

Anyway…

A few years pass with us going back and forth to see family and friends whenever we could. But then-she moved. And where did she move? L.A.! We were once again reunited with our old friend!

...I didn't notice how happy I was till she hung out more with us-like she used to…

She...she managed to make my heart warm. And...I wanted to see her be happy...

I had been trying to get Mark and her together ever since. I had annoyed Mark into hanging out with her, getting them to 'accidentally' meet up at places and much more-all in the effort to see her again...

I had been waiting for this moment and what does Mark do? He rejects her! He takes her wanted happy ending and steps on it like it was a cockroach.

But now...I...I have the chance.

I have the chance to...to tell her how I feel. The guy watching from the sidelines. The guy that wanted her to have a happy ending and wanted to make her happy everyday. The one that wanted what she wanted…

I parked the car in front of her house and took out the bouquet of (favorite flowers), her favorite to hopefully help. I also brought her favorite food, just in case she was hungry. I know how she loves food…

I walked up to the door and paused there. I sighed.

'Can this really work? I mean...I'm a demon...Hell, I'm nothing even like Mark really…'

I looked down.

'What if she doesn't want this? What if this is all too crazy for her to understand and she ends up pushing us both away forever? I would never be able to see her smile, laugh, or anything ever again…And yet…'

I looked back to the door.

'I guess I just have to take that chance. If there's a chance I can love her the way she wants, I will take it. I want to give her the world and more…'

All I have to do is knock.

"Rap."

"Rap."

"Rap."
