Happy Endings

A/N: Okay. XD so I was fiddling around with ideas and this happy little nugget tumbled into my brain. Since my cousin loves happy endings, this one's for her. It isn't going to be a one-shot D:
_____________

There's darkness, and there's darkness, someone once explained to me. It's the kind of darkness that swallows your entire body, until you make it yours. The kind that makes you fold pieces of yourself into teeny-tiny squares just because you know it feels important, so important that without it you'd die.

Bits and pieces, they said.

Don't worry. This is still a happy story.

So he struggled, he said. Struggled against the darkness pulling inside deeper and deeper even if it meant his death. Madness was straining its' tones against him harsh and strong, and he said it had a quiet quality.

"Twisted," the darkness. "It was scarier than anything the human world could ever give me."

So he folded pieces of himself into time and space and love and fear, never really wanting or dreaming, more like floating. Hearing Heterochromia explain things in his terms was confusing, but I knew. Humans could only understand so much in their lifetimes of wavelengths, bits and pieces of what the whole world really looks like from above and below.

The quiet silent darkness extended its' claws carefully whenever he was locked up in that room, he explained, without the other souls for company. Their souls were on a different plane, a different path. It was narrow and small and irresistable, a place where good was good and bad was bad and there was absolutely no change and second chances allowed. The darkness was your only friend, it said, convincing and cloy, words spiced with honey and pink clouds with strawberry cream. 

The world of that path was tiny and had only two options: to jump and to walk. To walk meant walking the path of the straight and narrow, the righteous and people who were never allowed to make mistakes because making mistakes meant you were being bad and that would just mean you had to jump.

Don't worry.

This is still a happy story.

He said that while in the depths of that maddening horrid darkness, the one that smelled sweet and tasted even better, but was still sinister and hot to the touch, he heard a voice. It was a single voice calling his name.

"He-te-ro-chro-mi-a"

It was faint at first, but gradually grew louder and the pull of it was enough for him to focus. Focus and make the darkness yours, the voice whispered, thread and weave and knit it into tight dreams that only you control. Spread it amongst the others but keep it yours to the core.
Silently, almost possessed, Heterochromia said (because shortening his name wasn't an option) he managed to find the strength to unfold himself from the safe place, to grope and to trust and to learn that the darkness wasn't as fearful as others had predicted. 

It was worse. 

"You shouldn't, my princess," Heterochromia said softly as he tucked me into bed at night. "stories of the darkness is too much for you. Please don't make me say any more." 

I remember my smile disappearing, because I hated it when stories were cut short. It was like awkwardly stopping something that should come complete and whole, like pulling out three wings from the butterfly when it should be four. 

"But I want to know, Het-kun," I said, my heart quickening its' pace. "I want to understand where you came from." He smiled a little, I knew it was him and not the carbon-copy smile that the body gave. Autosystem, they called it. 

"In time, dear princess."

"You stole it again, didn't you?" 

"I had to." 

I smiled and let it go. 

"Tomorrow, then," I said softly. "continue your story." 

Heterochromia nodded and smiled as he closed his eyes, spreading his arms out a little like a martyr on a wooden cross. His head bowed and the body collapsed but at the last second picked itself up and swung its' foot gracefully upon an imaginary arc. It would be months later, when I learned its' name, the martial art capoeira. 

The body came closer to my bed, and the same voice but harsh with its' dry quality hissed. "You should tell him to stop stealing what's ours."

"Tala," I said quietly. "he just wanted to see me." 

"That's because you're our friend, he wants you to spill our secrets, our hearts so that he can destroy us and our Mirror Road. You're swayed too much by him." He moved his head towards the right and swore. "No, don't you even, Jorrne. I know he's her knight. The--" he spat out the next word, "contract is unbreakable." 

"Yes, it is." Even with my limited knowledge of their magic, their magic world, I saw his anger. It was bright-red and focused, the straight and narrow. 

"I won't tell him anything," I said, finding courage in my heart. "not anything about you. He's never asked." 

"Not yet," Tala said. "Not yet." He stormed out of my room, through the stairs, and slammed the door. 

I sighed and let the tears flow, wanting them to understand what even I could. An open mind was important, but to that soul, it wasn't. 

Jorrne, the one I hated, stuck up for me anyway because I was a girl and precious and loved, even if I hated him, I was grateful.

Don't worry, I heard the voice of my heart say. 

This story has a happy ending.
