Dark's thoughts
/Daisuke's thoughts/
"Speech"
Chapter 2, Meet Daisuke Niwa, suicidal teen extraordinaire
Dark huffed and fidgeted around in his chair, anxiety and worry clawing at his insides, redoubling their efforts when he thought they had subsided. He pushed at his bangs, swept his hair back, pulled it back in his face, and then repeated the whole process over without even realizing he was doing a single thing.
"Mr. Mousy," a voice said from the door, turning his attention to the rude nurse from earlier, "we would like you to see the patient now." She said, then turned swiftly from him and marched out the door. Dark jumped from his chair, hurrying to follow.
After Dark had found the flame-haired boy on the ground, he had called for help, in effect saving the kid's life. Then the ungracious bastards sent him back to his room! How dare they! So thusly, that is where Dark waited out the remainder of the morning.
They came to a stop in front of a door with a window by it showing into the room. As Dark looked in through the window, he could see the ruby haired boy sitting up at the end of a bed, listening to some lady, probably his mother, yell and cry at him.
"Mr. Niwa, the boy that saved you is here." The nurse said as she walked into the room, Dark following slowly behind. "I believe a thank you is in order, if you will." She prompted after a few seconds pause.
"…"
"You really don't have to…it wasn't like anyone else wouldn't have done the same thing…really…"
"Say thank you, Niwa." The nurse ordered, her voice biting into the silence of the room and making the red-haired boy jump and look down.
A few seconds ticked by, then…
The boy looked up at Dark, his eyes meeting his and looked in them for a second. Dark felt like he was falling in a world of pain and agony, so unbearable that he wanted to escape from his being and be carefree again…all wrapped in a deathly startling color of scarlet.
"Thank you…though I would have been much happier if you had let me die." The boy whispered softly, his gaze flittering back down to the floor as the woman in the corner broke into agonizing sobs.
"Mr. Mousy, will you show Mr. Niwa back to his room? I feel it would be best to let you two have some alone time together." The nurse said, scribbling on her clipboard a few notes, then sweeping the two out of the room with a firm hand.
"…"
The silence was deafening as they walked down the hall, neither daring break the separating quiet that held them to each other yet miles apart. It couldn't hurt to talk to him… Dark though, wracking his brain for something to say. Then-
"Why did you save me?" Dark looked up, shocked that Daisuke had said something first. His violet gaze met Daisuke's fiery ruby one. His eyes looked like they held such strength…such knowledge…such pain.
"Why wouldn't I save you is probably a better question to ask…" Dark replied, his gaze sweeping in a downward motion to rest softly on the floor tiles. Daisuke's eyes remained firmly on Dark, however.
"Do you not know about me?" Daisuke asked, his eyes piercing Dark's when he looked back up.
"Does it matter who you are?" Dark said after a few seconds silence.
Daisuke sent him a scolding look, then looked away for the first time. "If you knew me…you wouldn't have saved me. Believe me."
"Look, Daisuke…I saved you because I couldn't understand why you would just give up on life. There are so many things about this world that are great…why can't you see that?"
Silence lasted for a few more minutes, then his voice heaved out in a heavy sigh,
"At one time, I could see the beauty in any situation…back then I was happy…back then…I had a soul."
