Locked Up

Meeting the Newbie

Anti's POV
Goddamn!  That was a mistake!!  I mean, I wanted to cause trouble, but holy Hell!  I wasn't expecting this much!

Tables and chairs flew across the room I was in, some hitting others who didn't move in time.  One table was built into the floor, and that was the one I am under.  I kinda want to join...but I don't wanna die right now.  So, here I am!  Hiding under a table like a wimp...

Dark's POV
I went over to him, trying my best to dodge airborne furniture.  Yeah, I got hit a few times, but for the most part, I did pretty good.  I slid under the table, but I couldn't stop myself in time.  The both of us fell to the ground all the way, Anti underneath me.  He screamed slightly, flinching and covering his face. "Please don't hurt me—I'm the one that let you out!  Go pick on someone your own size, I don't wanna-"

"I'm not going to hurt you." I got off of Anti, sitting next to him.

"Wait, what?"

"I won't hit you or anything; you didn't do anything to me."

"Oh...aren't you going to go fight with everyone else?"

I shook my head, looking at the chaos around us. "Nah, I might sit this one out...plus, I wanted to talk to you."

Anti looked at me with shock and confusion. "Me?  Why?  I'm boring compared to all these guys." He motioned to every other demon in the room.

"I heard you were new here, and a little after you walked in this building, you caused trouble."

His pupils shrunk slightly and he moved away from me a bit. "...And that's a bad thing?"

"Relax, like I said, I won't hurt you.  And no, that just made me want to meet you.  Oh, and you picked a fight with one of my buddies-"

"You get along with him?!  How can you even stand him?!  I fucking hate that guy!" He growled and looked away.

I smiled a little. "I can tell..."

He loosened up after a while, seeming to be more comfortable by me.  I did tell him that I won't do anything to him. "...I'm A-"

"Anti.  I know already, EXE told me."

Anti nodded slightly, still avoiding eye contact. "And you are...?"

"Darkiplier.  Feel free to call me Dark, though."

"Cool..."

"...Are you oka—...nevermind, we're in a fucking asylum."

He laughed a little. "That's what I was about to say..."

We sat in silence, watching the riot.  I just noticed that he doesn't really talk much, but I'm not gonna judge.  He's probably had some messed up shit happen to him, too.  Who hasn't?  Suddenly, without any warning, he quickly turned to me again, holding his hand out. "...F-words?"

I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Anti smiled slightly, and looked up to the table, carving the word 'friends' on the bottom of the table. "...Sorry, I don't like saying it out loud, so...wanna be F-words?" He held his hand out again.

I smiled and nodded, shaking his hand. "F-words."
