Killian sits in the dark for a while and then takes off his leather jacket and shoes. He lays down on the couch and tries to catch up with sleep. But all he catches up with is how the day went by. He couldn't wrap his head around his attraction towards David being intensified just in a day. 'But was it in just a day?' his mind asked. He was annoyed at his mind questioning him. It wasn't so often before he became a dark one and the bloody crocodile was in his head all the time. He remembered how David had said that all of them came to Underworld on their own decision when they were alone in the similar apartment down there, David's hug when he'd barged in at Granny's two nights ago when he felt the ground shake from the Olympian crystal's pulse, how David had tried to get him off off that psychotic 's choking grip on his neck.

Fantasizing about naked David's body, he was familiar with, but about kissing him? On his pink luscious lips? That was new. It was hardly fantasizing today when your lady love's father gave you a boner, intentionally. 'You've committed sins you could hardly repent for. What's another one with your lover's father?' his mind said. Killian wished he could shut it up. But all he could manage was a tightness in his pants and insomnia on Mary Margaret's couch./p
