In The Dark
In the dark, In the dark
A gentle, cool breeze tickled the blonde crown of hair. A plume of thick vape smoke eased up from freckled parted lips.
Ooh, I've done it again.
Dug a little deep and it's all caved in
Now, I free fall in a black hole
I know I'm getting warm ‘cause I feel so cold.
The radio played to block out stale silence between two old friends. After sharing a lung-filling puff of misty nicotine, bright blue eyes closed and whiteness veiled over his slightly darker complexion. He stuck his hand out the window of the black, lifted truck, letting the gale draft through his outstretched fingers.
But I'm looking on the bright side now
Tryna figure out somehow
(None of this is real, no)
It's looking like a write off now
I think we need to talk like now
Pitch black save for the quick flits of neon and LED lights the flash like a strobe in the cab of the truck. Only the sizzling sound of the vape motor and loud song selected from the blonde's phone playlist. Bright blue eyes opened again and slid over the black, faux-leather textured dash of the truck to the blonde who drove it. Hands lazily gripped the steering wheel, 1 and 11 o'clock positions, in confidence. He appeared comfortable. Black, buzzed scalp itched, so the darker haired male removed his worn blue and red beanie from his head, feeling it scrape against his Velcro-like hair and scratched.
So, don't swear to God, he never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
It's not his world you turned inside out
Not his tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, In the dark
Another plume left parted lips that turned up in the corners and it filled the cab of the truck with a hazy film before plunging to dissipate out the window. Feeling the observation, the blonde turned his ancient sky-blue eyes to catch the gaze of his lifelong friend. A knowing smile broke out across his face, crinkling the corners of his eyes and his light colors eyes glistened in the dark.
Deathblow, look at you go
Brought a T-62 to a rodeo
So tall, it broke the fourth wall
Guess my fairy tale has a few plot holes
Despite himself, the darker-eyed man grinned right back. The freedom he felt this night was the most uplifting day he's had in years. The brightness of his sincerely happy smile cut through the vapor.
Well, I'm looking on the bright side now
Tryna figure out somehow
(None of this is real, no)
You can give the act up now
Yeah, go ahead and take a bow
The blonde kept his wide smile and sparkling light eyes as he turned them back to the road ahead of them. The two young men met up just for this one night before one was shipped off due to a military contract, he signed himself up for. They both had secrets they shared with each other. They were mutually making huge sacrifices to better themselves for someone they each loved. They equally had made separate difficult decisions alone.
So, don't swear to God, never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
It's not His world you turned inside out
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, In the dark
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, In the dark
The atmosphere between the two young adults felt purely empathetic and simply incognito. There was no turning back now for either of them. They similarly wished that they would be absolved later for their actions. At this point in their short lives, they felt invincible. Everything was going precise for once and they weren't going to stop and take it all back.
I'm not looking for Salvation
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
I'm not looking for Salvation
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
I'm not looking for Salvation
(Oh no, ‘cause it’s all come caving in)
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
I'm not looking for Salvation
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
And its time I knew you, so
The blonde pulled the black Chevy off the main street onto a hidden, narrow dirt road that led up a steep hill. Once at the top it flattened into a plateau. Below, the large city of Denver twinkled against the black backdrop and midnight-blue sky. Mountains towered as dark, guardian silhouettes in the distance and the snow reflected back subtle moonlight from the waning crescent that hung in the air. Stars littered the empty space in an irregular, sporadic array similar to that of the blonde's freckles that powdered his attractive face. Placing the truck in park and taking in one more drag of the steamy nicotine, he placed the machine in his center console and let the cloud lift from his nostrils and lips like a fire-breathing dragon. The darker-haired male watched him with a cocked eyebrow and lively, intrigued eyes, smiling all the while. The blonde let out a laugh and the other joined in as they unbuckled their restraints and leaned their seats back until they were comfortable.
Don't swear to God, never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
It's not His world you turned inside out
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark
Don't swear to God, never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
It's not His world you turned inside out
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark
They laid in their seats, staring up at the gray material the covered the lining of the Chevy. So many things ran through both of their minds as they lay quietly with the thrum of the diesel engine rumbling peacefully, almost lulling them into a state of contemplation. The blonde used his abs to surge himself forward and turn off the truck to save fuel before laying back down into the heated leather seats. The material groaned in protest as he moved around.
Don't swear to God, never asked you (oh no)
It's not His heart you drove a knife through (oh no)
It's not His world you turned inside out (oh no)
Not His tears still rolling down (you’re so damn cold)
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold (you’re so damn cold)
Don't you know you've lost control? (oh, oh)
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, In the dark
Music died away as the playlist prepared to pick another song and the silence was mesmerizing. Only the crisp air caressing the pine and cottonwood trees nearby became apparent through the Chevy’s open windows. Sensing the atmosphere that began to take a more severe turn, the blonde turned his focal point to the dark-headed friend next to him who was laying on his side staring at him with a somber expression.
“Kenny…” He began as his eyes flickered from left to right, plotting his words with extreme care, “if anything happens to me while I’m over there…. let Kyle know that this was all for him.” Those eyes that were so carefree quickly appeared laden with darkness when they panned back to the freckled face’s own enigmatic eyes. The darker male continued to bore his eyes into his friend’s, not once breaking contact to get the point across as this was the most vital information he was ever about to share. Possibly even his last. Those eyes; those antique, cryptic sky-orbs surveyed him with such a fervor that Stan wondered how and why the hell he stuck around as his friend. Those secretive eyes that always stupefied him with how they appeared so different in age when compared with his friend’s outward appearance. Sky eyes with flakes of steel and gunmetal greyish-blue hues entwined in the valleys and mesas within his irises.
“Let him know…” he continued, viewing those surreptitious irises that seemed so much older than Kenny was, with extreme intensity. “…let him know I loved him.”
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, In the dark
“I will, Stan. I promise.” Kenny swore as he reached out, placed a comforting hand on Stanley’s shoulder and gave it a loving squeeze. “I swear I will.” He insisted once more.
The intensity in Stan’s gaze was replaced with a misty, appreciation. The eye-contact was broken as he forced himself to look away from those determined, archaic orbs and lay down on his back before he started crying. He can’t show weakness. Not now. Not with Kenny. However, the broken immortal new all too well that Stan was afraid. He knew what that was like and he would do whatever it took to cheer his best friend up.
“You’ll be fine, dude,” Kenny assured gently with a smile. “You can’t get away with dying because I’ll drag your ass back to the land of the living.” As Kenny mentioned this, a grin spread across Stan’s chapped lips so he continued, “You’ll come live with me when you get back from your tour. That way, we’ll start looking for ways for Kyle to start talking to you again together.”
“By then do you think you’ll have Butters living with you too?” Stan teased, chuckling a bit when he noted Kenny’s facial expression that confirmed he was caught off guard by the subject. Adoring the slight blush that dusted under his cute, sporadic freckles on his nose and cheeks, Stan let lose another giggle. “Dude, you’ve got it so bad for him.” Kenny shrugged his shoulders into the leather seats at this statement, not denying it because he knew it was the truth.
“Hopefully, I will be in a place where I can take care of him and he never has to worry ever again.” The look of determination upon Kenny’s face was the most astonishing thing Stan had seen all night. He truly was trying to improve himself and his lifestyle for Butters, just as he was for Kyle.
“I just hope they’ll both forgive us.” Stan murmured softly as he looked back out the window as he placed his hands behind his head, watching the stars glimmer in the night sky. Silently, Kenny agreed.
The song referenced and the reason for my inspiration behind this scene: “in the dark” by Bring Me The Horizon.
This is part of my on-going “Revenge” AU.
