Pit opened the front door, allowing Dark to enter first, later to follow behind. He closed and locked it behind his back and hugged Dark again. Pit smiled and hugged him tightly. Dark smiled and returned the hug as well.

"I am so happy that you're here. You have no idea how empty this house was without you."

"I don't even want to imagine, Pit."

Pit gave Dark a kiss on the cheek and nuzzled it. Dark chuckled and held Pit up, who wrapped his legs around the waist like a koala. Pit laughed, he forgot about Dark's strength from having a work-out schedule. Then, Pit nuzzled on Dark's hair.

"Pit?"

"Hm?"

"Why did you said that to Magnus?"

Pit looked at Dark with a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"Well... After all I've done, I'm supposed to be in that asylum-"

Pit hit Dark softly on the face and pouted. Still being carried, he crossed his arms.

"Nonsense, Dark. You're pretty sane to me after these months of you hiding in my house."

Dark laughed making Pit unfold his arms, snaking their way to Dark's neck.

"Yeah but, Pit... I almost killed you-"

"You didn't. It doesn't matter now. You're with me and everything's going to be okay."

"True..."

Pit leaned in to kiss Dark on the lips this time. Dark slowly let gravity take over Pit, making him stand on his own. The two enjoyed the tender moment, knowing that it could not last long. Our of breath, the two broke the embrace and held hands, leaning forehead against forehead.

Pit's mind played the memories back in elementary year. He remembered how he and Divot held hands when no one was looking, how they ate together in lunch, how their relationship bloomed over the school years. He then remembered the tragedy, the breakdown, the horror...

Pit mentally shook his head, scratching clean off that terrible movie. After many years of no contact, he was finally holding that familiar hand. The old Divot got burried on that instant. This was a new person, but is still the same soul he always knew about.

"Divot?"

"Hm?"

"Tell me you love me..."

Dark looked at Pit in the eye, staying silent. A few quiet seconds after, Dark mumbled the response what he was requested of.

"I love you... So much. I always did..."

Pit closed his eyes and smiled. A tear ran down his cheek as he gripped tightly Dark's hand. Pit quickly hugged Dark again and softly sobbed. Not from the pain, but from how happy he was by having the one he had a bond with years ago.

In his arms and alive.

"I missed you..."

(No illustration for this one. It would have looked like "Be Safe.")
