Chubby Youtubers/Egos Oneshot, Book 3

Iplier's guide to overcoming fear

Ever since being created from nothing but pain and anger Dark never liked to show any weakness or vulnerability in front of anyone not wanting to get hurt again by anything or anyone. Dark doesn't like to admit it but he's pretty similar to Mark the one person he truly hates with a passion the one person that caused him immense pain both men sharing the same fears including the cold dark fear of the ocean, Dark absolutely hated the nail-biting spine-chilling fear that sends shivers all over his body whenever he just thinks about the ocean. Dark also knows that his archnemesis Mark has been slowly fighting back against this fear trying to become somewhat less afraid of the ocean knowing this caused the demon to become more moodier around the manor easily snapping at anyone who remotely looked at him and many times punching holes in the walls along with pushing Bing down making the android drop his croissant onto the floor.

Dark tried to hide this little secret from the Iplier's knowing he was the leader of the group he had to act fearless and brave in front of them also not wanting to lose the respect that took him years to earn from them and to simply lose it in a matter of seconds would be devastating. Successfully for years he managed to hide this fear from the others mainly due to the fact everyone's schedule was completely chaotic not giving anyone any downtime to relax but eventually with a mixture of King and Wilford's hyperactive brains they started to suggest a nice relaxing day off to the beach, at the very beginning the demon shut that idea down not wanting to go near that horrific monstrous ocean he'd refused to budge blocking out the persistent whining and complaining of two grown men who acted more like playful whining puppies. Wilford wasn't smart as his friend but he was perceptive knowing Dark was hiding something from him and years hanging out with the tough demon he knew how to metaphorically twist Dark's arm to get his way, all Wilford had to do was ask an innocent question with a honey deep voice asking the demon if he was a chicken and immediately the man fell for it glaring at him and telling everyone to pack some stuff for the beach.

'Can't believe I fell for that stupid obvious trick. At least if I don't go into the damn ocean, I'll be fine' Dark annoyingly thought beginning to sweat from the bright intense sunlight standing on the very edge of the entrance of the beach. Looking around Dark noticed the beach was quite packed with hundreds of people packed all over the sandy beach, a light red hue slowly appeared on his cheeks either by heat or slight embarrassment knowing he was sticking out like a sore thumb as everyone else was wearing thin layer clothing from shorts while he was wearing a thick black suit. A few feet in front on the left side were the Jim twins and Eric immediately building their own sandcastles a small soft hidden smile appeared on the demon's face watching three of his family members having fun, frantic arm movement caught his black eyes and glanced over seeing the energetic wild Wilford gesturing to him come over to their location near the boat rental and biting back a distasteful frown he'd begun to walk forward his body tensing up shoulders squaring walking near the body of water.

"Darkie! Come with us scuba diving we going to have a blast under the sea" Wilford announced excitedly tossing an arm around his friend's shoulders wiggling his cotton candy pink moustache. Feeling his heart speed up slightly hearing about going into the ocean Dark paled slightly gulping slightly he tried to act normal shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly ignoring the way his hand trembled at his side.

"Why would I come into the sea where it's wet and uncomfortable, Sorry but not sorry Wilford that be a no from me" Dark managed to keep calm feeling somewhat proud of himself not letting his voice waver despite the hammering of his heart. Wilford looked at his friend with a strange look making the demon on edge feeling like he could see through his soul nerves bubbling up inside and without his consent his mouth opened spilling out words to keep his friend off his track.
