Chapter 3:Now You're Gone

~~*~~*~~

Dark POV:

Thank the Goddesses I'm away from that insane woman! Countless students had gone to the principal, begging for the senile teacher to retire, but nothing was ever done about it. Thankfully, it was almost the end of the year and I'd never have to deal with her again. I shook my head and smiled, knowing my Link wasn't far away. We had gym together next and that meant locker room torture…I knew for a fact that he took ages to change and we were almost always the last ones left in the room. I'd never taken advantage of this fact…till now. As I hurried to the locker room I grinned to myself. This had to be my favorite class of the day. Reaching my destination, I walked past the aisles of early changers, reaching the row of lockers Link and I shared. As per usual, he wasn't there. He always got held up for one reason or another and got here late. I decided to take my time and shove my bags in my gym locker, seeming as though I'd just pulled my clothes out when my twin finally showed up. Most of the room had already finished and we were, for the most part, alone.

"Sorry I took so long. You weren't waiting long, were you, Nii-chan?" he asked, giving me a quick glance. I shook my head and slipped my shirt off, watching from the corner of my eye as he looked away blushing. When he took his off, I took my opportunity to strike. I moved flush against his back and slid my arm around his middle, chuckling suggestively in his ear.

"No one's around, love," I whispered. I could take this opportunity to see if I was right about his feelings. Spinning Link around to face me, I smirked at his shyness. "They'll never realize we're missing. Why don't we just spend class here…" I trailed off, putting my hand on the back of his neck. His breathing sped up, his eyelids lowered, and I took this as my invitation. I couldn't wait anymore for my sweet twin to tell me his feelings himself. Leaning forward, I pressed my lips against his. Feeling no reaction from him, I kissed him harder, begging for some response. I opened my eyes and backed off, seeing him standing there confused. He was wide eyed and breathing heavily…but he didn't look exactly happy. I turned and pulled on my regular shirt, grabbing my bags in the process.

"Fuck this…" I muttered under my breath. No way was I staying here after this. Walking out of the locker room I didn't even glance back at my still silent twin. Thankfully the hallways were empty as I snuck out one of the school exits. At least no one would see the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes…I guess I'd been wrong. Link didn't care for me…like I had cared for him for years on end. Shaking my head at my stupidity, I rubbed my eyes and hurried away from the school. Needing somewhere to go, I hurried down to one of my favorite places. Hyrule Mall. Yeah it's too common, I know. Distressed teens hanging out at the mall? Too bad, I liked going there. Luckily it wasn't that far from the school so I made it there in a few minutes. Security here was lax and they didn't even glance at a teenager walking the mall during school hours. They all just shrugged and went back to eating their doughnuts…stereotypical much? Either way, I paid no mind to them and headed for Hot Topic. Turning into the store I was relieved to see one of my best friends was working today.

"Dark! The hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?"

"I could ask you the same," I retorted, managing a small smirk.

"Hey, I had my reasons for dropping out so don't judge me. But you, do not. So what's got you worked up enough to skip?" This, by the way, would be one of my life-long friends. Vaati, who as stated already, dropped out in his Junior year and landed himself a job here. He was also, along with Midna, one of the only people who knew about my feelings for Link. He was someone I could go to after what happened today.

"…I kissed him…" I admitted, looking down in what was practically shame. Vaati gave me a questioning look, asking me with his eyes to continue. "He just stood there and didn't say anything. I ran out after that. I have no idea what to do now…I actually thought he liked me too," Looking up at my close friend, I could tell my eyes were watering. He walked around the counter and pulled me into a hug.

"I'm sure there's a reason he didn't say anything, Dark. Maybe he was awe-struck that you kissed him? And I don't mean a bad way! Ugh, I'm never good with words." Backing up from the embrace, he held me at arms length. "If I were you, I'd just go home and don't talk about it unless he brings it up. That's probably the best advice I can give you." Giving him a small smile, I thanked him and told him I'd talk to him later. With that, I headed out of the store. Figuring that there was nothing else to do, I started my trek back home. All the while, I was wondering if Vaati was right. Maybe everything would be fine. I grinned to myself. Of course he was right! Link couldn't be that upset. He probably would have texted me if he was mad about it….Wouldn't he?

~~*~~*~~

Relieved to be home, I plopped down on my bed and pulled my laptop up off of the floor. My parents both worked insane hours so neither of them would be home till almost ten or later. That was fine with me though. It gave me a chance to relax and forget about today. Logging onto one of my favorite sites, I scrolled through my music playlists. After searching for about ten minutes, I couldn't find anything that suited my taste. Thankfully, this site had a 'Random' button and I clicked it, hoping for something interesting. When the song started, the bass kicked in and an accented voice started singing.

"Now you're gone! I realize my love for you was strong. And I miss you here, now you're gone! I keep waiting here by the phone. With your picture hangin' on the wall,"

As the song went one, I decided this singer understood me perfectly. After about twenty minutes of researching and song compiling, I had a fairly good sized list of his music and other like artists. In multiple languages, might I add. Setting it on random, I grabbed a manga off of my shelf and re-read it for probably the twelfth time. Slowly getting lost in the hypnotizing bass.

~~*~~*~~

Link POV:

(back to when Dark ran out)

Ho-ly-shit…Now I'm really confused! I stood there, still clutching my gym shirt and staring at the door my twin had just dashed out of. I understood his usual teasing but this was a completely different level! And when he looked at me he seemed almost…disappointed? None of this made any sense…Looking around for any other sign of life in the locker room, I figured my best bet was to hang here until class let out. After that, I'd sneak out in the lunchtime rush of third period and head home. There were too many unanswered questions to sit in class for hours. Once I'd put my clothes back on, I grabbed my bag and pulled out a book that I'd been reading lately. It was a book called City of Ashes and in ways, I could relate it to my life. Basic bits of it held the emotions that I felt. One of the main characters was in love with her brother, through she found out about the relations after she fell in love…But another one of them was gay…but he was nothing like me…And the brother was nothing like Dark. He was hurtful to his sister. Always pushing her away…and yet she still loved him…I shook myself out of the thoughts and continued reading, completely forgetting where I was. At least until the roar of the other students coming back from gym shook me out of my stupor.

"Where were you?" My blunt best friend Sheik asked, opening his locker a few feet away. "I didn't see that brother of yours either." He said, giving me a stern look. Somehow Sheik always knew when something was up. I never told him how I felt about Dark, afraid he would hate me too. Though I had this strange feeling that he knew anyway…I just shrugged as I put my book bag in my bag.

"I came in later than usual and didn't feel like getting lip from Desantis," That would be our odd gym teacher. I'll describe her some other time. Sheik just shook his head and continued changing. Yeah, he knew I was lying…Grabbing my things, I waved goodbye to him and ran out. Using the huge lunchtime crowd as my cover, I snuck out one of the back doors. Watching for teachers from my peripheral, I made a mad dash for the road and headed home. Throughout the walk home, my thoughts were taken over by my confusion. What the hell was up with Dark today? I swear to the goddesses I love him, but he's just so confusing! Either way, I just wanted to get home and away from this insanity. Maybe lose myself in a videogame or something.

~~*~~*~~

Finally reaching home, I rummaged the fridge for a snack. Grabbing a strawberry yogurt, I headed upstairs. Wait a sec…music? Some upbeat tempo was blaring from…Dark's room. Something is really wrong here. Dark's normal music was more towards screamo and metal. This sounded almost like techno…Walking down the hallway, I snuck a glance into his room. I sooooo did not expect to see this. My brother was dancing around his room, smiling, and singing…

Touchdown, turnaround. I never see you around. Anywhere, or anymore. You are what I'm lookin for. Touchdown, turnaround. Everything is safe and sound! Everywhere and every time! I am yours and you are mine!

He somehow hadn't noticed me, until the last part of his dance ended with him pointing straight at me. Realizing he wasn't alone, he froze and blushed furiously, embarrassed as hell I'm guessing.

"…Dark?" I questioned, "Are you alright? Your mind isn't being controlled by aliens, is it?" That would at least explain his insane behavior. As he stood there, bass started pounding from his computer, a dance beat following it.

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party! And let me dance along. Until the lights are on.

Hearing the lyrics, I decided my insane brother didn't have to dance alone. Setting my things aside, I took his hand and pulled him to the middle of his room, moving my hips to the beat of the song. He must have picked up on what I was doing and he followed in step. Without contemplating my movements, my hand moved from his hand to his shoulder, the other following suit. His hands moved to my waist…and I willingly let them, both of us too lost in the beat to care. Eyes closed, we followed the words.

You leave me once again home alone. The fridge is full but my heart is achin'. You think I can't make it on my own. Just a kiss and you are gone.

Following heart rather than thought, my arms wound around his neck. His arms mimicking the movement around my waist.

Another night like a million before. Another party where I'm not invited. As always you'll heat the dance floor. In front of your turntables going mad.

Our bodies seemed to meld together as we rocked to the beat. Faces so close our noses brushed occasionally. Both of us too entranced to care.

Why don't you keep me close to you? I'm not anymore the kid you knew. Why should I stay deep in the blue? I wanna move my body too. Daddy DJ, please take me to the party. And let me dance along, until the lights are on. Daddy DJ, please take me to the party. And let the music play, until the break of day.

The boundaries of familial ties all but disappeared when I danced with my twin. Cheek to cheek. Bodies flush against each other. Dark seemed just as much a slave to the bass; hands roaming my back as we moved together.

We've been aside since I meant to be. A part of you that was just awakened. My life with you is a fantasy. I am your prince and you are my king.

I couldn't help but love this sinful moment. Holding him like I'd dreamed of. Him not being disgusted by my feelings. Him holding me just as tightly, not letting go.

You say your thing sometimes drives you insane. You think you're no good father and so you're ashamed. But all I want is to share your pain. Clubbin' the night along and having fun. Why don't you keep me close to you? I'm not anymore the kid you knew. I wanna feel this part of you. I wanna move my body too.

Dark's nose nuzzled against my neck, body still pressed against mine. His lips ghosted across the skin and trailed slow kisses up my neck and across my cheek…He wasn't teasing anymore. These weren't his usual tricks…So I let him do as he pleased. As he pulled back I opened my eyes, meeting his piercing, half-lidded gaze. Maybe…he wasn't playing games with me. Just maybe, my feelings weren't in vain. Ignoring the voice in the back of my head, protesting that it was a trick…I closed my eyes. And pressed my lips to those of my dark twin. Immediately, his arms pulled me tight to him and his lips moved roughly against mine. This wasn't a game anymore. Feelings had to be in place for him to kiss me with passion like this. And I didn't mind at all. This time, I kissed him back, entwining my fingers in his hair. He moved, forcing me backward till we fell back

onto his bed, never breaking the kiss. All thought left my mind as he trailed kisses down my neck and his hand roamed up my shirt.

"A-aniki…" I whispered, falling out of the trance as a slower song came on. He kissed my lips lightly and the lyrics of the new song flowed from the speakers.

All I ever wanted was to see you smiling; all I ever wanted was to make you mine. I know that I love you, oh baby why don't you see, that all I ever wanted, was you and me.

"Those words are true," Dark murmured, placing his hand on my cheek. I stared at him, stunned by his unusual gentleness. Wait…he loved me…? How could that…I'm still confused.

"You love me?" I whispered. He nodded and rolled off of me and onto his side, draping his arm over my side as we faced each other.

"Didn't you notice? Or was my flirting too subtle for you…" He smirked at me. Flirting!? That's what he was doing all along? He hadn't been teasing me to be mean…he loved me. Wow I'm an idiot…

"I-I thought you were just messing with me…I never thought you were serious…" Blushing, I lowered my head and he pulled me closer, "but…I love you too…" I mumbled into his chest. I felt him kiss the top of my head.

"I had hoped…" Comfortable in his embrace, I felt myself drifting off. Heart finally at ease knowing that he cared for me as I had for him for years.

~~*~~*~~

Oh goddess that was a long chappie…and it's hard as hell to look up song lyrics when you're relying on a wireless internet connection…Well like I said I had something extra. I made Dark's playlist for your listening pleasure. And as for Dark's odd dancing, I'm sure you can imagine with those lyrics XD. Anyway please comment and once again, at least 5 reviews please!

Also for those who don't know: I'm taking requests for commissions. If you're interested, the information is on my profile.
