Dark's POV

One-shot

The pairing should be obvious even if I tried not to let too many clues in. But if you really want, you can think it's any other pairing with Dark, if you want.

Disclaimer: No I don't own D.N. Angel. That honor belongs to Yukiru Sugisaki. So don't try to sue me, you'll be laughed out of court if you do.

This is the first thing I've ever posted up on ffnet. So if you don't like it then point your mouse to the back button and click. Don't flame me if you don't like it. I tried my best on this. All flames will be used to toast snacks for me and my cousins.

Thank you Anima08 for beta reading this!

Vulnerable

I never thought I'd fall for you.

We were trying to kill each other. Then everything changed. I stare at the full moon, and taste the winter air through the open window. Right now I am vulnerable; it makes me glad that Daisuke's asleep. I don't want him to start asking questions. Once he wakes, I'll put the mask back on.

But not now.

Night is the only time I can think about you freely, without distractions. I love you, my angel. So much that it aches. Because I know you could never love me back. You have someone you already love. But that person will never acknowledge you.

Isn't it ironic?

So cruelly ironic, I could die, laughing bitterly. I never told you these feelings. I almost did once, do you remember? It was when you told me you loved him. The moon was full that night, with clouds dotting the sky. We were on a rooftop watching the stars. We interrupted each other by saying each other's name. I let you talk first, because, fool that I am, I thought I would have time to admit my feelings later.

How wrong I was.

You told me of your feelings for him, but that you would never receive those emotions since he loved another. I was grateful for the dark cloud that covered the moon at that moment, hiding my feelings.

As I could feel a tear drop down onto the roof tiles. I was devastated. But I made the decision to keep quiet. You didn't need the burden of my feelings. So I put my mask back on, before the cloud moved and you caught me defenseless. I was the sympathetic best friend. I did my best to cheer you up. I wanted you to smile instead of frown.

I love your smile, have I ever told you that?

But, now I know the smile I loved was because of him. But none-the-less, I was glad. You then asked me what I had been about to tell you. I made up something; a lie, to hide everything; pretend that nothing had changed. I don't even remember what it was now. We stayed on that roof to watch those stars, until you said you had to leave. I let you go without a word. I stayed on that roof until dawn, thinking. When the sun finally appeared over the horizon, I had come to a decision. I would help you achieve your love, while ignoring my own. Because, if you were happy, then I would be the same, no matter what happens(1). As the saying goes, love hurts. So it does.

Of course, it does.

(1)-"If the person I love is happy, it makes me happy,"-Tomoyo (Cardcaptor Sakura) by CLAMP-I had this quote in mind when I wrote this part.

I'm sorry if Dark might be a little OOC. I'm still working on my writing skills. Please tell me what you think about my little one-shot. If you can give me suggestions on what I should or shouldn't have done here I would appreciate it very much. I would also love to see everyone's guesseson what the pairing is. If you're right I'll tell you. If you're not, then I'll work on a sequel to this, with the pairing.
