Hanahaki

The "Happiest" Place on Earth

Anti carefully wrapped his neck in a scarf, allowing himself to be dragged off by Dark through the security section to get into the Disney parks. Anti put his head down, his eyes hiding beneath his cap.

"Come on Anti. This way."

The two finally got through security, beads of sweat trickling down from Anti's forehead, as he was wearing a baggy sweatshirt that seemed to soak up all the heat of the day.

Anti was pulled by his wrist to a bench that was shaded by a few tall trees. Anti sat down, feeling way too bundled up in this scorching weather.

Dark smirked at Anti. He himself was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, casually disguising himself as Mark.

Anti, however, was wearing his baggy sweatshirt, jean shorts covered by the sweatshirt, scarf, and cap. He even looked like somebody trying to disguise themselves.

"We're past security, you can take that off." Dark pointed out.

Anti immediately shed off the sweatshirt and scarf. Now he was just wearing a light t-shirt that felt a lot better.

Anti sighed, glitching his disguise back to his room, "I don't understand why we're here."

Dark shrugged, "You'll like it. I'm certain of that."

Anti crossed his arms, pouting, "Can we go home?"

Dark rolled his eyes, standing and once again dragging Anti off somewhere else.

"Teacups? Really? The Darkiplier wants to ride the teacups?" Anti scoffed as they stood in the line of children and couples. Dark frowned, "You're a judgy one, aren't you?"

Anti put his hands up in defense, "No, of course not. But seriously, Dark? If this is your idea of fun-"

He was cut off as he was pushed into one of the teacups as the doors to the ride opened. Dark looked at Anti as the ride began. The glitch remained pouty, even as the cool wind hit them as they spun in circles.

Dark frowned, placing a gentle hand on Anti's shoulder, to which the glitch blushed a bright red.

"What do you want to do, then, Antisepticeye?" Dark wondered, raising an eyebrow.

Anti thought for a moment before glitching the two away. They found themselves in line near a slightly rocky and sandy area. Anti grinned, introducing Dark to the ride, "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad."

Dark sighed, "Fine. If you really want to ride this, I guess I have no choice."

"Nope!" Anti laughed as the two went through the line easily, getting into the coaster.

The ride started moving, twisting and turning at a fast rate. Anti clutched Dark's arm, laughing the whole time. Dark smirked down at him, and Anti glanced up, seeing what he was doing and quickly moving his grasp to the bar holding the two down.

Dark stayed almost silent, his red and blue aura floating around him as the ride went on. Anti screamed as the ride twisted and turned and dropped.

And, almost as soon as it had begun, it was over.

Anti laughed, breathing heavily as he stepped out, "Now that... Was fun."

Dark gave Anti a small smile, "Yes, I agree."

Anti blushed at the smile, before quickly hiding it and saying, "Uh... Let's go get ice cream!"

The two walked off, making small talk as they went to go get ice cream from one of the vendors in the shade.

As they licked their Mickey shaped ice cream while continuing to look for their next ride, Anti suddenly came to a halt.

His ears perked up, and he glanced around. Something was off... He noticed somebody sitting on the bench and staring at him.

Anti looked up at Dark, saying almost silently, "C-can we leave?"

Dark didn't hear him over the loud crowd of people talking, instead taking both of their finished icecream bars and tossing if into the garbage.

Anti watched as the man on the bench stood up, advancing towards them.

Anti swallowed, speaking up, "Dark?"

Dark looked down at him, smiling softly, "Having fun?"

Anti glanced towards the man once more, "Dark, can we leave?"

"Are you still not having a good time, Anti? This was supposed to cheer you up and make you feel less alone. Are you-" Anti's brain stopped comprehending the words Dark was speaking as he watched the man get even closer as they walked.

He couldn't even think straight enough to glitch away. He was stuck.

"Well look who it is!" The man yelled, and the crowd seemed to all look over, parting so he could get through.

Anti backed up, trying to get Dark to follow, but the demon stayed still.

"Anti, I thought you were long gone? I guessed you lied to me." The man growled, walking so close to Anti that the glitch could practically smell him.

Dark glared at him, "Back away from Anti."

"How about you back down?" The man challenged, "My fight is with this run-away."

Dark's aura flared, but Anti nodded, clenching his fist, "Dark, it's my fight. Not yours."

Dark frowned, but stepped back, letting Anti handle it. He knew he shouldn't intrude on this even if he really wanted to.

"Saleos, why are you here?" Anti demanded to the man.

"I'm out having a nice day here, and you arrive after ten years. After you left me." Saleos spat at Anti, his words causing the glitch to flinch involuntarily.

"Our relationship was toxic! I had to leave!" Anti retorted.

Saleos shook his head, "No. You were what made our relationship toxic. Two demons dating always ends in those ways, Anti. I dominate against you. You know the rules of relationships."

Anti scoffed, "You're title is what makes our relationship toxic. You live in Hell. Your entire being is to tear lovers apart! You are a soldier, of course you dominate against me!"

"Ah, but you left. Without warning. I told you I would find you. And you knew what would happen when I did, Anti. You know how I have to end this." Saleos grinned, showing his sharp fangs.

Anti stood his ground, eyes glowing a bright green, "I do."

Saleos' smile widened, "Then let's dance, glitch."
