How Can I Love You?

Dinner with Dark

    (Y/N) POV

      I was sitting in my room on my bed. Weird, it was mine but, it felt fake.
       I heard a knock at the door, and I hesitated to answer.  I got up and made my way to the door. I put my hand on the knob and took a deep breathe, and I opened the door. "Hello" I whispered, why was this so awkward? "Dinner is done, so come down whenever." He Saud deeply. Both of our heads were down. Why is this so hard? "Yeah, sure." I said.
      He turned and walked down the hall. Soon after him I followed.  The halls are several shades of gray. The bottom is the darkest and it gets lighter while going further up. The baseboards are some sort of black wood perhaps. I'm not sure, I've ran my fingers across it before and it's very smooth.
     The hall is bland other than several doors. Darks room, a hall closet, and a bathroom. There are about 12 stairs leading to another exact hall. The floor is oak wood. Down the stairs is the open living room and kitchen, a bar separates them. The stools are under it and they're made of the same dark wood in the hall. The kitchen floor is a light colored tile and the living room has a wooden floor with a red rug covering under the couch and loveseat. The loveseat is left of the hall and I don't know how many times I've almost ran into it. It's a darker shade of red than the rug. The couch is against the wall farthest to the bar. A large dark wooden door is dead center of the wall across the bar. The television hangs on the wall with a black entertainment center.
      I sat at the oak table in the matching chair. Tonight's dinner was surprisingly easy. He had ordered pizza. Well no complaints here. I grabbed two slices and a cheesestick. Then a thing of buttery garlic. I started eating and before I knew it only three peices were left. God, I had no idea I was this hungry. Sheesh.
      I felt embarrassed and I stopped. I fixed everything up and looked up at Dark. He just sat there, with the look of complete thought all over his face.  I coughed a little and started "Um, are you going to eat any?"
" I don't think so"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm just not hungry"
"You never eat"
"I guess I'm never hungry"
"Food is needed to survived"
"And?"
"Um," well I was stuck now.
    "I-I'm not sure," God what is my life right now?
    I looked up and he was leaving the table. I just put my head back down and waited until he was gone. Then I put up the remaing pizza. Better than leaving it sitting out.
     When going to my room I stopped at his door. I was hoping if I stood there long enough he would come out and it would just seem like a simple run in. Hopefully it would open a door to a real conversation. After what I guessed was 10 minutes, my legs began to hurt. So I just moved along and went to my room.
     I shut the door and sunk down the floor. I rested my head on my knees and interlocked my hands around my legs.
    This is going to be a long night.
