Darko's Adopted Kid (Adopted by Dawko) ★

★ CHAPTER 7 - Shopping ★

(Darko's POV)

Oh god. I'm gonna have to drive, aren't I? See, I know how to drive but I don't like driving at all nor am I very good at it in the first place. Although, was Lewis any good at it either...? Yeah. Yeah he was. He's a better driver than I am. But now I'm under pressure by having a CHILD in the car too. I do not want to crash the car and kill both myself, Lewis, and that child. What is their name? I keep forgetting. It's uh. AK...?

AK-47?!!??!

No. No, it's just AK. Kind of hard to remember but oh well. Also, these eye contacts are gonna kill me, my eyes feel so dry and I can't find the goddamn eye drops in this house. Guess it's good we're going to some shops today, maybe I'll pick some up from there so that my eyes don't feel like an absolute desert. During breakfast I made a wonderful cup of tea and I'm already craving another so that is what I am doing right now. Making another beautiful, wonderful, lovely, brilliant cup of some nice hot tea. The child went back to watching whatever show they were watching on the TV. I'm glad they didn't notice my eyes, honestly these contacts look worse than I thought sometimes. Apparently not. I wish to have my white eyes back. Putting in the blue contacts is always an experience... I've dropped one into the sink before and accidentally gave myself an eye infection which was fantastic. I still have that one and use it though, just rinsed it off, no big deal. Still got the eye infection that one time. But now it's all fine.

It's always odd being called Lewis, I should expect it since this is his body but I can never seem to get used to it. Poor kid had to say the name like three times before I responded. It's not that I was ignoring them, it just takes me a moment to remember and realize that to other people I am Lewis. Not Darko.

Well, guess I will just drink my absolutely gorgeous tea now. Then I can hopefully safely drive to the stores. I should probably make a list of some things that I need such as the eye drops and also more crumpets because I know I'm not gonna remember. I can't even remember... my own child's name. I drank my tea and looked around for a piece of paper and a pen and started to write down the things I needed. My handwriting is messy but at least I can... somewhat read it. I'm a tad stressed about driving but it's alright. I will do amazing. I will not crash the car.

I will not crash the car.

I will not crash the car.

I will not crash the car.

I will not crash the car.

I will not crash the car.

I will not crash the car.

Okay. I will not crash the car. That is good.

I waited another hour and then I told AK I was ready for us to go to the shopping center. I had one more cup of tea for good luck and then we got into the car and I started driving. I was so scared. The only thoughts in my mind were not crashing the car and I made sure to drive on the correct side of the road. Whenever I have to drive those are my only two thoughts because I do not want to die and especially now I do not want to die because of the child in the car and dying would not be good. I don't want to die and cause them to die and then we both die because of my mistakes that cause us to die. I know murdering people is my whole thing which involves making them die and it's fun but again, I myself do not want to die and I don't want Lewis to die either, I also do not want this innocent child to die because I am a terrible driver that will cause us to die.

Okay so, we're not gonna die.

I braved the roads. Risking my life to take this child shopping. After parking we got out of the car and I brought them into the first store which was a drug store because I need eye drops before my eyes become more dry than the literal deserts in this world. How many deserts are in the world? I don't know but however many there are, add 2 to that list. I hate eye contacts as much as I hate prolonged eye contact. I grabbed two bottles of eye drops and paid for them and then we went back out to the car. I immediately started putting drops into my eyes and then accidentally put too much so now instead of deserts, add two oceans to the list of oceans in the world. AK has been giving me very strange looks, they asked me why I needed eye drops and I'm not gonna outright lie to them so I said I wore contacts because of my vision.

The next store we went into was a store that had paint. The store sold paint that we could buy. Paint for the walls... And whatever else they want to paint. Okay. There were many different options for colours, I told them they could pick whatever colour they wanted.

Personally, I like red... It reminds me of blood and I love blood. It looks so pretty when it's flowing or pooling or... spurting. It's so calming. Or when it mixes with water, it can turn a lighter red colour which also looks nice. Red is also the first colour of the rainbow. It's a warm colour which makes sense because it makes me feel warm inside and blood is warm when it's on my hands and red is just so nice! Maybe I could paint the walls of Lewis' bedroom and then be reminded of the wonderful sight which is blood every morning that I wake up. As for AK, what colour did they pick out? I got lost in my thoughts.

AK picked out a light purple colour for their room walls.

Purple is alright, I guess...

Come to think of it, I don't actually know how to paint walls so this should be an experience for the both of us when we get home. Painting is pretty easy, right? You just put the thing... into the paint... and then put the paint onto the walls...? I'll just watch a YouTube video or something and tell AK we can paint tomorrow because then I will be skilled by then. I will be a great painter.

Okay, the next store we went into was a store that had furniture and decorations and all of the sorts. I let them pick out decorations for their bedroom so they could decorate it with the decorations. They picked out a fox lamp for their room and some other stuff that appeals to a child their age or something. I don't know, I'm letting them get whatever. Lewis' money, not mine.

Wait.

THEY FOUND A FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S POSTER?

Okay, makes sense I guess...

We paid for the decorations and then finally went into the last store which sold pretty much anything you could think of. It had food so I grabbed a few boxes of crumpets and tea because how would I ever live without them? They make this life far less insufferable. I love tea. I love crumpets.

We paid and got back into the car. But I didn't start it. I think I forgot we had to drive back. I'm scared again. What if I crash the car and make us all die? What if someone crashes into us and makes us all die? What if I have a seizure or something and die while driving and then the car crashes? I'm not scared of much but driving is something that terrifies me. In fact, it could be my number one fear. I looked at AK in the back and they looked confused as to why we weren't going anywhere. Well, I'm not gonna keep them waiting any longer... If I did it once today then I can do it again.

I'm not gonna crash the car.

I'm not gonna die.

I'm not gonna crash the car.

I'm not gonna die.

We are not going to die.

We are not gonna crash the car.

...

We drove home safely.
