Night fell, satellites roamed and stars shined on. The night was peaceful, like any other. A dog barked in the distance as the lights from the houses flickered off slowly.

The perfect neighbourhood.

The perfect street.

The perfect gardens.

The perfect families.

The imperfection running away from the unknown, tears streaming down his face.

A broken doll.

"Why are you being so difficult? You stupid boy…"

Why are you worried?

"It's not like he cared enough for you!"

I'd never leave you…

"You stupid… stupid boy…"

Forever…

-×-

The boy came to a sudden stop, tripping over the curb.

"Never… leave... you said… said…"

The rain poured on, showing no mercy to the pathetic boy hunched over the sidewalk. The onslaught of rain successfully hid the tears, essentially making them indistinguishable as they streaked down his cheeks. Deep crimson eyes stared into the pavement, betraying no emotion. The boy was silent, so still it was hard to tell if he was even breathing.

The empty street proved no comfort for the tortured soul as he gently began to raise himself, bringing himself to a crouching position. He gently rocked back and forth. His breathing became heavy as the boy seemed to begin suffering from a panic attack.

"Stupid… you said… never leave…. Stupid boy…"

"Why don't you ever learn?"

Dai-chan! You worry too much!

"You're pathetic, as if he would love you"

and always

"As if anyone could love you"

-×-

"Love… want… can't…"

The streets remained dark and empty, the broken doll left to fend for it's self.

The tears stopped coming, the breathing began to slow down.

Staring at the cement, as if it could swallow him up and save him from this pain, red eyes displayed nothing.

No happiness.

No pain.

No suffering.

Nothing.

"Now Daisuke, see what I mean? He doesn't want you. If he wanted you, he would be here. I mean, it IS your birthday. It's your special day today. He promised he would be here, didn't he? But he's probably off with a new girlfriend. You're not very pretty, and you're a guy, you can't even compete…"

I promise, forever and always

Holding back a sob, the redhead closed his eyes. He should have expected it. It was too good to be true anyways – the whole relationship was most probably a ruse, a cruel practical joke that Dark and his friends could get a good laugh at. The voice… that girl… Whoever she was… she was right.

He wasn't a girl. He may have been feminine… but he wasn't a girl, and he still wasn't very pretty.

Dark used to say he loved how expressive his eyes were.

Wonder what he would say now…

"Dai-chaaaaaan!"

Startled out of his reverie, the boy looked up. A shadowy figure approached him clumsily, obviously stumbling in the dark. The street lamps didn't seem to help much. The boy flinched at the voice, turning away, as if looking for an escape.

"Dai-chan!" The boy stiffened visibly. "Dai…? What's wrong? I've been looking everywhere for you. I mean, you really scared me!"

"I… scared you?" The boy looked up to the elder.

"Yeah! I mean, one minute you're being all cute, napping on my couch, and then the minute I leave the room, you bolt. What happened? Did you have a nightmare…?"

Night….mare…? The elder boy rambled on as the younger sorted his thoughts.

There… there were a lot of people… and a party… candles… and then, when everyone left… he was tired… When he woke up… he was gone and… and I thought…

"…I mean, I know your mom said you were subjugated to having anxiety attacks every now and then, but, this was quite unexpected. Are you okay?"

The boy smiled softly to himself. A nightmare… brought on by me…

"Yeah… I'm okay…" …now that you're with me.

Forever and Always

A/N: Definitely could use work (cringe). Mr. Keyboard is being difficult with me, and Plot Bunny Haven had a drought... the death toll is in the billions. Alas, I've been holding this off for a while now... and yeah... time to put SOMETHING up... as crappy and ill-planned as it may be.

Clarification:
Bold italics is reality.
Italics is subconcious.
Dai is mixing the two...
I kind of just gave Dai a very, VERY low amount of self-esteem... I guess... and.. yeah... It was angsty... but... it had a happyish ending. Oh dear...

I want to thank:
Tsuki (Get better hun! Wuv Woo!)
DarkMageMakai (Long time no talk... how've you been?)
Vinillii (Do you realize the trouble I went through counting the i's and l's in your name? lol. )
Violet Garnets (I hope it maybe passed your bare minimum standard... I didn't catch a very cooperative bunny lol)
PurpleCow12 (The world didn't blow... but once again.. it might...)
Kira Sakura (Do you know I worship you? yay! Now you do, if I haven't repeated myself)

Thank you guys so much, you ALL rock.
