[DarkForbidden-Love]

When Dark opened his eyes and recognized the city as Limerick. "What about money, is that wishable, too?" Besides for the rule 'no wishes for harm apon the other' it seemed this world was pretty lienant on rules. Dark would hate it if he attempted to make a wish only to find that it wasn't possible. Dark also started looking for street sighns to tell him where in Limerick he was.

'money is of no concern unless it needs to be' alexander said. the law of story-book telling was very adement about such things, he continued, 'if it is not integrable to the story it is not important. if lack of money is not a key part of the delemia then it will be provided' he demonstrated this by reaching into his pockets. out came a rumpled five, a dented pack of half-smoked clove cigarettes and a hotel key.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

"So as long as it is not a main problem it be provided for?" Dark asked feeling like a broken record right now. Dark wrapped his arm around Alexander's arm, "Lead me to the hotel,my prince." He said it jokingly assuming that since Alexander had the key to the room he would know which hotel they were staying at. "and act like a torist so no one will spare you a second glance."

alexander felt a small rush at the command, somehow this time it felt different, he could not at first put a finger on it but as they walked down the crowded yet faceless street he understood. his lord though still vastly ignorant to the world, he had no grasp of his own ignorance of everything else and so saw no irony in this thought, he had gown to accept what he learned in stride and with what alexander could only think of as pleasure. dark had grown comfortable with the world and was now a part of it instead of the slightly ill-fitting piece he was before. alexander was amazed once more at the speed and grace his lord had when acclimating though he did not know why it was s important. he smiled to himself and through his bangs at the other. his desire to please his lord no longer stemmed entirely from his reset nature to please his master but from a developed desire to please this one single person. he paused in the street and spoke with the fevor of someone who had come to an epiphany 'do you recall what you asked me before? about likes and dislikes, i think i have a correct answer this time. 'my likes are playing and holding and being still, i like running way and surprises, i like pleasing you but because i want to, not because i must. i like dark.' he took a breath as a twist began in his gut 'i do not like however having to lie to you. i do not like leading you through this path of damnation. i do not like condemning you to an eternity of my company against your will....' he pulled himself gently from the other's hold. 'i wish i could make you happy' with that he dissipated, his very existence melting into the scenery. the key was the only thing to remain. it glittered on the ground like a shed tear.

"I want you to create your own tastes, likes, and dislikes."

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark looked at were Alexander had been standing seconds before he had disappeared leaving Dark alone. Dark heard Alexander's words repeat, 'I do not like however having to lie to you. I do not like leading you through this path of damnation. I do not like condemning you to an eternity of my company against your will.... I wish I could make you happy.' Dark let a bitter smile appear on his lips, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Dark picked up the card carefully. And wished the city away, it faded once more into the abyss in which he had met Alexander. "Alexander," he called, "Tis better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all."

[littl3chocobo]

he could hear the boy's words from the depths of where he hid, he did not understand how loss could be acceptable over failure to find, ignorance was not this painful, not this cruel. he wondered briefly if the book would try to continue the story without him or if he needed to continue his role as guide. as far as he knew it to be he was only really needed to start and to finish the story everything else was dependent of the main character, anyone who knew a story knew that. he pulled deeper into himself and watched sadly.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark had hoped that his confusing quote would have lured Alexander back but it looked as though he would have to drag Alexander back. He dared not wish for Alexander back for fear the book would create another one, he wanted the original back and no other would do. Dark gave a grin and remembered Alexander's words. Closing his eyes he focaused on the stream where he had fallen asleep in Alexander's lap and hoped that Alexander could see it to.

[littl3chocobo]

it was not a wish, not exactly but it followed under the same vein, desire was closer though that too was not right he did not understand it any more than he understood the words spoken though he knew the story they came from. the babble of water broke through to him first, he could see the stream and rocks of the pool beginning to form, it was not a strong creation, made by un practiced hands, but it had the same feel to it as the other. he did not leave his place but putting a hand to his collar where the gem lay he gave it a little more power to be and it bloomed stronger and brighter. he did not understand why the other was thinking of this place either but he was curios to know all the same

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark could feel Alexander near by. Alexander had strenghtened Dark's illusion. Dark sat down and remembering his change of attire after the swimming. He opened his eyes to the new out fit and reclined. Closing his eyes he called out gently, "Come out, Alexander, I want you to keep me company again."

[littl3chocobo]

he grew antsy, it was not a command but it had the same apeal of one. he was not sure what was going on, was this a trick, was the other angry enough to lure him out to hurt him? he dismissed the thought immeadiantly, though he was unsure he trusted the other. he came closer a shadow under a tree behind a rock, where ever his darkness would blend

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark could feel that Alexander was closer and wondered why he was so skittish. Had Dark done something wrong? Dark sat up slowly as not to startle Alexander wherever he was a wished for a book, A Tale of Tweo Cities appeared in his hand. "I'm will be here waiting untill you come out." Dark said, "Even if I have to wait forever." Dark had no idea if he could actually wait forever, but it sounded nice and he hoped it would make Alexander come out. Dark missed his companion in this world of dreams.

[littl3chocobo]

he could not resist. he pulled into shape under the shade of the trees lining the clearing, he sulked unhappily under their shade. 'i betrayed you, i lied. you must hate me.' he avoided looking at the other he could not bear to see the other's upset gaze

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark had to blink when Alexander's words caught up to him Aleander had never purposely lied to him. Dark shrugged, "Can't hate you for something I don't remember." That was kind of twisting the truth but it suited his purpose. "Now sit with me and stop acting like a cat." Dark was grining a little bit, comepletely subconsiously having won the game tempotarily.

[littl3chocobo]

he did not understand that either but he realized it was in a way a reprieve, there was no forgiveness but only because none was needed. he felt the chapter close in on them as he settled next to the other

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Dark felt his grin grow as the other settled down next to him. "Would you like to join me in reading my book? It is by one of the better known authors of the universe I came from." He offered another copy of A Tale of Two Cities "It'd not my favorite but it's not the worst either."

[littl3chocobo]

he took the book but put it down and leaned cautiously on the other his long hair draping down over dark's shoulder like a cape. 'it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us' he read aloud from dark's book. he ruminated on the words, how they fit so very well this world where everything and nothing were the same and only potential mattered.
