Dark stared at the blank screen while Eon stood behind the couch, looking awkwardly at the back of her head. "So Dark--"

"I'll be right back." She muttered, standing and walking to the bathroom. She shut the door softly and Eon could hear her turn on the shower. He rolled his eyes. Why can't she just pick one color? He sat on the couch and turned the TV on.

He quickly changed the channel, not wanting to see how the murders were going. He stared absently at the TV, not sure what he was supposed to be watching.

About half an hour later Dark rushed out of the bathroom, her hair a Dark shade of Blue. Eon stared, open mouthed. "You like?"

"It'd only been like 10 minutes."

"So? I can change it whenever I want." She turned around and crossed her arms against her chest, pouting.

Eon smiled. "'Kay, you can't ignore it anymore." She turned slowly to look at him. "We're going out."

"Eon I really don't want to! My hair's all wet!" She shook her head vigorously, sprinkling drops of water everywhere.

"Look you can go upstairs and get dressed... or.. I can help." He raised an eyebrow at her. She stared, open mouthed.

"Fine." She closed her mouth with an audible snap before stomping upstairs. Eon laid back against the couch. He wondered why she had gotten to peeved, then realize Zeno probably said things like that. He cringed. She misses Zeno...

Dark suddenly appeared at the front door. Eon jumped, clutching the arm of the couch. "Can't you just walk? " His voice went up a few octaves. She giggled and twirled the end of her ponytail between her fingers. These mood swings are going to be the death of me! Eon thought standing up and walking to the door.

She blocked him and he looked shocked. "Dark I'm getting you out of the house whether you like it or-"

She scoffed. "Not like that, you're not." She swept her hand toward him. He looked down and realized he was in stained pants and no shirt. He blushed and dashed up the stairs, muttering incoherently.

Dark peeked out the window, hoping to see Thorn or Mimim. She sighed and leaned against the window sill, humming a song Yumi had taught her.

Eon stumbled down the stairs a few minutes later, wearing a blue shirt and black pants. He stopped at the bottom step and looked at Dark. She stared back, amused.

"What's so funny?" He asked quietly, patting his hair down and looking at himself. It took him another minute to realize they were wearing basically the same thing; She wore black jeans and a worn blue shirt- along with the bandages tied down her arms. Eon wondered for the first time why she had them, until Dark turned around and headed out.

"Are we leaving yet?" She asked, already heading down the porch. Eon froze for a second before chasing after her, shutting the door behind him.

"That's the same color as Yumi's hair." Eon mumbled, not looking at Dark as they walked along the forest's path. She just nodded and shrugged. He paused before asking another question. "You go over there a lot now." She replied in the same way. He looked at her now. "Dark what's going o-"

"What if we have something going on? Huh Eon?" She snapped, stopping and looking at the ground. "What would you do?" She sounded on the verge of tears. Is she going to cry!? Eon thought, staring at her.

"I.. I don't think I could do anything... I'm only human..." He said sadly, and they continued walking. The forest got more dense, darker, as the continue. Ten minutes passed before he looked away and whispered, "But he's a vampire..."

Dark stopped completely.

He took a few more steps before looking back at her from where he stood.

"What?" She yelled. He didn't say anything. "Eon tell me what you just said." She sounds like my mom... He restrained himself from rolling his eyes.

"I'm not your mom, Eon. I won't effing baby you, or stop myself again." She snarled, fists clenched. Eon flinched.
