Belong

Summary: Prequel to Nothing, only shadow made him feel like he belonged. Vio wonders what would happen if he told them everything.

Vio x Shadow

The honey blonde hero grew up, though he always was already mature like an adult. Even now at the age of 15he was the most mature of his friends. Vio was always one to hold in his emotions so he could see things clearly from another perspective. He learned things quickly because it was all he had to pay attention to. Throughout his high school age he dated no one, didn't even look at girls or even the guys who hit on him. Vio wouldn't do that kind of thing, just as he wouldn't tell his friends why he did what he did. No one but Vio and him knew. It was their secret and would remain to be forever. Shadow made him feel special in a way no other could. Shadow made Vio feel like he belonged…

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me

Vio laid back and stared at the night sky, fire glowing dimly next to him. His eyes open being wide awake, He had always been one for the night. It was hard to make himself feel. Just to make him bring out any sort of emotion, it had been hidden so long that Vio wasn't so sure he had them anymore. He sighed sadly, no still there. He still felt that empty shell that resided in his chest where his heart should be. The darkness that filled the teen only reminded him of him The blonde sighed again and closed his eyes, it didn't matter anyway.

(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)

He sat with his hands gripping his honey hair in frustration. How could he explain it when he didn't know what it was himself? Vio sighed and rested his head against the rough bark of the tree he leaned against. Vio thought of his shadow and remembered, with a smile, that he would have understood what he was trying not to say.

The purple haired dark teen smiled gently and placed a hand on his companion's arm. It was a difficult choice, he knew, he had made that choice once. To join in the dark side or not. Shadow knew to give him time and not to push but he did ask small questions and made small talk with Vio, things he thought Vio wouldn't remember at all. "Hey Vi did you know your hair shade is different from theirs? It looks like honey." He commented while twirling a strand of said hair. Then he leaned in and said, "Your eyes are infinite icy blue Vio, mayhaps you would allow to melt that ice?" He flirted while holding a hip gently and looking into his eyes. Both comments gave the young hero a smile which in turn made Shadow smile. He knew how Vio felt.

But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

Vio finally told them whom he liked. Whom he likes. His heart will forever belong to the dark hero though he didn't say that part. He was afraid of what would happen for s good reason, how they reacted. Red was just confused, Green was slightly put off but was pretty okay with it and Blue raged. He didn't see what Vio had meant only heard the word 'shadow'. The honey head knew it was only a matter of time he only wished the other would listen to him. He had done this, he had told and now he would be punished with Blue hating him and Green being awkward around him and Red just not knowing what was going on. Vio regretted ever opening his mouth.

You wonder if this daydream will ever be real. You think to yourself, 'what would Shadow have thought of it?' Another sigh escapes your lips and you decide it was better to not say anything about it in this dream of yours. You think, maybe just maybe, it was better to remain silent. It was better to say nothing.
