"Aren't you just adorable?" You pet Dark Shadow, who is soaking up the attention.
Tokoyami asks, "Are you done yet? I wanna go home, too."
"But he's so cute! Look at this precious face?" You and Dark Shadow both pucker your lips.
"He is not cute. He is evil and Satanic."
"HE'S THE CUTEST EVER AND YOU'RE JUST A BIG MEANIE HEAD." You hug Dark Shadow. "You don't deserve him. If I could, I would bring him home with me."
"I wish you could."
Finally, you part ways and go home, sad that you cannot pet Dark Shadow anymore. Sighing, you go inside and kick off your shoes, plopping down onto the couch with a pouty expression. You miss him. He is just the cutest pet ever. How dare Tokoyami keep him all to himself.
Angrily, you stand up and decide to go yell at him. At his house, you bang on the front door, only to be met by a pale boy with pastel pink hair and pastel blue eyes, reminding you of cotton candy. His features are soft and cute.
"KAWAI!! Who are you?"
"Uhh...why are you here?" Why is his voice so deep and familiar?
"Oh! I'm here to yell at Fumikage Tokoyami. Do you know where he's at?"
"Why do you wanna yell at him?"
"Because I wanna play with Dark Shadow but he yells at me whenever I try to. He's a big meanie head."
"I'll go tell him that for you."
"Are you his boyfriend or something?"
"No. Not even close."
"Then who are you?"
"I-" Dark Shadow pops out and hugs you.
"OH MY GOSH IT'S YOU TOKOYAM!!!"
"Er- no! I'm not-"
"YOU'RE SO KAWAIl!! EEEEEEEK!!"
"I'm not."
"But you are! Your hair! And your eyes! You look like such a soft boy!"
"Don't you dare tell a soul. You pull out your phone and take a photo of him. "Delete that."
"No way. This is gonna be my lock screen." He goes to grab your phone, but Dark Shadow stops him.
"You traitor! You treacherous fool!" You start giggling.
"I'll see ya later, Cotton Candy Boi!"
Running off, you laugh the whole way home, happy with the photo you took of him. That bird head must have been a mask. He is actually rather handsome. You like it.
At school, Ashido sees your lock screen and tilts her head to the side.
"Who's that? Your boyfriend?" Tokoyami glares at you, then answers for you.
"Yes. I've met him before."
"Y/N'S GOT A BOYFRIEND!!! EEEEEEEEEEEK!!"
"Uhhh..." You stare over at Tokoyami, who wears an indifferent expression.
After school, you see him going toward a hair products store. Curious, you follow him.
"Why are you following me?" He demands.
"I just wanted to see what you're here for."
"I'm dying my hair. I'm tired of it."
"But it's so cute! I love your hair!"
"Yes, because you can pick on me for it."
"No. I seriously think it's cute."
"Cute. I don't wanna be cute."
"But why? Cute things are my favorite." You pinch his chubby cheeks. "You're adorable. Just like Dark Shadow."
"How many times do I have to tell you? He's evil."
"He is not. You're just mean."
"Whatever, L/n. I'm dyeing my hair black and-"
"If it's because you're insecure, then that's stupid. You can't help the way that you were born, and it looks very good to me. I think it's wonderful, okay?" Even from beneath his mask, you can tell that he is blushing.
"You seriously think that it's wonderful?"
"Mhm! Plus, you're super handsome, too."
"Er- fine." You both walk out of the store together, and somehow, end up walking to his house, talking a bit.
"I guess the whole class thinks I have a boyfriend now."
"Yeah. I guess so."
"Well, there goes my chances at actually getting a boyfriend." At his door, you both stop. "I guess I accidentally followed you here. I'll go now-"
"Would you like to come inside and maybe get a snack?"
"Sure."
He takes you inside and you sit on the floor of his room, waiting for him to return with snacks. When he comes back, he has some popcorn, chips, and different candies. Setting them down in front of you, he sits across from you, and takes off his mask. Looking at his cotton candy features, you smile.
"It's so cool seeing this. I am the privileged who gets to see your real face."
"Yeah." From your bag, you pull out clips and pull his hair back with it, revealing his forehead. "Seriously?"
"Mhm! So kawaii!"
"Gee, thanks." Dark Shadow pops out and sits in your lap. "I can't believe my own Dark Shadow likes you better than me." You stick your tongue out.
"It's because I actually treat him well."
"Haha, very funny." You start petting Dark Shadow.
"He's so sweet. I wish I could keep him."
"I can't get rid of him for you."
"Meanie."
"You know how earlier I told Ashido that the guy on your lock screen is your boyfriend?" You nod.
"Mhm! Why?"
"Why don't we make that lie true?"
"But... that would mean... making you...my boyfriend-"
He cuts you off by kissing you, and you find that his lips are soft and sweet tasting. He even tastes like cotton candy.
Subconsciously. you wrap your arms around his neck, and lean into the kiss, so he pulls you closer to him.  SLowly, you let your hands entangle into his fluffy hair which feels like silk. For a
brief moment, he pulls away to breathe, but immediately kisses you again, not wanting to separate for tool long.
Then, you begin to mutter, "I need to breathe." So, he pulls back and stares at you.
"Will you be my girlfriend, L/n?"
"Uhh..I- I mean, I dunno...will I'll be allowed to pet Dark Shadow whenever I want to?" Your dark friend looks between the two of you, hoping that he would agree.
"If that's what makes you happy, them yes."
"Then that's my answer. Yes." Bashfully, you kiss his pale cheek.
"Great." Then, Dark Shadow encases you and Tokoyami into a group hug. "I think he's happy about this."
"So am I."
True to his word, Tokoyami lets you pet and play with Dark Shadow whenever you want to, making you the happiest ever. Meanwhile, he stays admiring your adorable behavior that he will never admit to liking. As for his face, that remains a secret. Only you, him, and Dark Shadow knows, and that is how you want to keep it.
