I've fallen in love with the demon inside my head and I can't help it.
He knows it too.

He comes and goes when no one is around.

No, I haven't fallen in love with myself, just Red Eye.

I only see him in the mirror when I have control of my body.
I just wish he could be around all the time but not inside of my mind.

I love the thing everyone else hates the most.
The demon that was forced inside of me in the Snake Pits lab.

I don't know why I do.

I looked into the mirror to see Red Eye again.

"I need to get you out of me"
"I'm sick of all this"
"I just need to be with you but not like this"

"I need to be with you too"
"And I know what you can do"
"I know you don't want to but the only way is to talk to Theodore, he can do something about this"

"Can you talk to him for me?"

"Sure, I guess can"

I stepped away from the mirror and let him come I to the light so he was now fronting.

Red Eyes POV:

I exited the bedroom and went into the elevator and went to Theodore Glass' office.

"Theodore, I need your help"

He turned around in his chair and faced me.

"Well hello, Red Eye"
"What would you like me to do for you?"

"I need my own body"

"Why is that?" He asked.

"I want to be with Shu"

"But your already with him"

"I'm inside of him and I want to be with him as another person"

"Hmm, I'll see what I can do"

"I'm surprised your actually going to help me"

"Well, I just wanted to get back into the lab"
"Oh, and we don't have to go all the way back to Mexico"
"I recently had a laboratory built in the basement of this building"

We went to the very bottom of the building in the elevator and into the dark lab.
Theodore turned the light on to reveal a bunch of new equipment.

Man this guy is fucked.
But I need to get out of Shu's body.

"Here we are"
"All you need to do is step in here and you will be removed from his body"
"Would you like to still look like him?"

"Yes"
"I can't imagine myself looking any other way, apart from like this"

"This is a little risky"
"Just so your aware, Shu might die within this process, and you might disappear"

"We're both willing to take the risk"

"Okay, so"
"All that I'm going to so is extract you out of his body and then I'm going to make a replica of it for you and then transfer you into that body"
"Now go in"

I got into the thing.
I don't know what it was.

"Alright, extracting now" Theodore said, pulling a lever"

A few moments later I was out of his body and I was just a glowing ball of red light inside of a container.

Theodore then began to make a replica of Shu's body.

Everything was going fine and nothing bad happened at all.

About an hour later, it was done.
He then put me into the new body.

"You can come out of there" He told me.

I was in another thing that I don't know the name of.

Shu woke up in the other one.

"Red?"

I opened it and pulled him out into my arms.

"Okay, this is weird" Theodore said, walking away into another area of the lab and was messing around with some stuff.

"Let's go back into the room" I said picking him up and carrying him into the elevator.

We went up and back into the room.

"I can't believe it..." Shu said, still surprised.

"Well, Theodore has a lot of weird stuff down there"

Shu's POV:

It was so strange.
It was like he was me but...
Yeah..

We sat down on the bed next to each other.

I leaned my head onto his arm.

"I wonder what my friends are going to say..."

"It doesn't matter"
"If anything, they are probably going to be disappointed"

"Probably..."
"But who cares what they think"
"I love you"

"I love you too"

I know it's strange.
I don't care if he was some sort of demon or whatever that only wanted power.

Wait... that was me...
I mean...
Forget it.
It doesn't matter.

"You know what?"

"Hm?"

"I'm don't really regret it anymore..."

"Regret what?"

"Running away to the Snake Pit..."
"Because I did get something good from it"
"That was you"

"I'm glad you think of me as something good, even though I'm not"

"You are to me"
"Even though at the start, I hated you"
"But I hated Theodore more, of course"

"I never thought that I would fall in love with the person I possessed"

"And I never thought I'd get possessed.."

"Well, your kinda lucky you did"

"Heheh... yeah"
"Anyway... it's late"
"We should go to sleep" I told him.

We laid down in bed, cuddling each other.

It was still strange.
Even stranger that I'm lying next to him.
Because he looks just like me except... much more attractive...

I don't care if he still looks like me.
He's mine now, and only mine.

People are just gonna say that I'm dating myself.
I mean... technically I am...
Well...

I don't care.
I don't care at all.
As long as I'm with him.
