Chapter 3: Behind the smile
A/N: There is a lot of realistic drama, not the kind with "Oh no monster attack" drama. It's the type of drama that you know would happen at any time. I like that kind of drama from fictional characters, it draws the attension of readers, making them see that even the life of fictional characters can be hard when it's not on the story. That's what I'm doing, but there are so many feels, so prepare the FEEEEEEEELLLLLLLSSSSS!
Mimi POV: I gasped as I saw his face. He had slash like scars all over it, one of the most noticable being the one over the black eye. "So, that's why you have two different eye colors, but why do you have so many scars, Dimmy, what monsters have you been fighting" I asked as he looked down, almost in shame. "The one over my eye was, yes, from fighting. But all of the others, were from my own two hands" he stated as I gasped. "You... you... you" I stammered. "Yes, I have, and, with my magic abilities, hid it perfectly" he finished as I just stood there(play purity, from Rune Factory 4). "Are there, any others" I asked as he nodded and rolled up his sleeve. I gasped at how many scars were there. "I... I... I don't know what to say about this" I said as he looked away. "I'm guessing you hate me now, don't you" he asked as I placed a hand on my shoulder. "No, never, it's just, I never thought you were one to hurt yourself like this" I said, sighing. "It's okay, I neve let anyone know about this" he replied while I tried my hardest not to slap him for what he did. It hurt me to see him like this. "Why didn't you tell us this, why" I asked as he only shrugged. "I was terrified of the possibilities of your responses, Nastasia would baby me, so would you, L would be screaming like he is now, and Bleck would probably fire me" he explained as I placed my hands on my hips. "You should have told us this, we would have understood, okay, if you hide this thing it could kill you, and you should know this, Dimmy. Never hide this from us EVER again, got it" I asked him. "I won't keep it from you, the others I don't think would handle it very well" he said as I nodded. "Okay, but never do this ever again, because it hurts me to see you like this. And why do this anyway, please tell me" I said. Dimentio looked down and placed his mask back on his face. "Fine, I'll tell you, but you have to promise never to tell anyone of this" he said as I crossed my heart for the second time.(end song) "Okay, it all started when I was in middle school, and you should remember this day well, because you were there"
Flashback no POV: Dimentio was walking back to class, thinking on how his mom could have died that same day. He remembered when the counseler told him everything.
"Your parents, they died in a fire made by Bowser" "What, h-he'd never do that" "Well, he was possessed by king Boo the second time this week, and everyone knows that that b**** would kill for power" "You're that mad, aren't you Rosalina" (A/N: Rosalina is an alien, who is also thousands of years old, okay) "What do you mean, Dimentio" "You're so mad that you cussed at work" "Oh, yeah, I guess you're right, but, I'm sorry, Dimentio" "*sniff* it's okay, you were just... *lowers head* doing your job"
Tears fell as he remembered. Bowser keeps on getting possessed by King Boo in a fight for power. Worst part is that the last thing Dimentio did to his parents was yell that they hated him, which made them start to cry. The young mage banged his head against his locker in anger and depression, screaming 'stupid' over and over. Mimi noticed this and walked over to him. "Dimmy, what's wrong" she asked him. "Oh, it's nothing for you to worry about *wipes tear from eye* Mimikins" he said, trying not to cry in front of her. "No you're not Dimmy, tell me what's wrong, you were crying, and I know that you barely ever cry, so tell me" she demanded as Dimentio looked down and used his magic to slash himself without trying to. He yelped and grabbed his arm in pain, but realized... that it felt... almost nice. "What's going on in your mind, Dimentio" Mimi growled as Dimentio plastered a fake smile on his face. "Oh, it's fine" he said, but Mimi noticed the blood on his hand. "No it's not, Dimentio, what have you done" she yelped as Dimentio dissapeared without a trace.
end flashback
Mimi POV: "And ever since that, well, you already saw what happened" he said as I tried not to punch him so hard right then. He should have told me this. And he hid it perfectly with a smile and a playful tone of voice too. He always flinched slightly in class, but I never thought it was for that reason. "You know that you should never do that, you know Miss Rosalina would hae been upset by this as well" I said, placing my hand on his hand as he blushed slightly. He looked up and cried. "They're gone, and it's all his fault, that ghost king killed my parents, and they're never coming back" he said in between sobs as I hugged his arm. "It'll be okay, Dimmy, you don't need to worry, you have another family, a family that willl always be here for you" I said sweetly as he smiled, this time genuine. "Thank you... Mimikins" he said before getting up and leaving. "Where are you going" I asked. "Somewhere I haven't been in awhile, the graves of my parents" he said, looking down. "Then I'm coming too" I chirped as I grabbed his arm and we left.
