A/N Yay, so exams are over, and the winter holiday's finally here. All the closer to my birfday. :F Sorry, it's ten til four in the morning, I've had chocolate and Mountain Dew, and I'm watching Sweeney Todd. Oh, and I haven't slept in two days. A+A

I Want You

Chapter 6: A Passion for Stealing

As the final bell rang to dismiss the students for the buses and to walk home, Dark grumbled and folded his easel up, stuffing it into his cabinet and grabbing his art supplies, wiping his paint-covered hands on his smock. Five more minutes and he would've been done, just fine more minutes to add the lightning in the background clouds. It wasn't worth moping over, really. He could do it at home, and just turn it in tomorrow, so it would get graded and be returned by Friday. That worked for him. 'Besides', he mused, 'now I can tease Link'. That same evil smile crept into his lips, but he surpressed it as he headed down the hall to his locker, absentmindedly flicking his wrist to and fro to enter the combination. The lock popped open, and he stuck his finger in the small hole, pushing up to open it, pocketing the lock for now. There hadn't been much homework, probably to make room for all the study guides and last minutes tests. 'Ugh, I hate exams week.' Dark mentally twitched at the idea, and almost loathed that it was near the end of the week. But who in their right mind would hate the weekend? He certainly wouldn't be the first to start hating the weekend.

Shoving his sketchbook and H and B shading pencils into his backpack, he grabbed his book and shut the locker, relocking it and spinning the dial to a random number, pulling the backpack's shoulder sling onto his right shoulder, so it lay against his left leg. Slinging the knapsack over the opposite shoulder, he held the book tightly and headed down to the gym, turning left instead of right to head to the walker's area. He lived close enough to the school to just walk. It also meant he could sleep in as late as he wanted, and still get to school on time. This was one of the ups of living near the school. Of course, teachers expected you to get there earlier then any normal kid. Why, he had no idea. The way teachers' minds worked scared him.

He blinked as a saw a flash of blonde through the crowd, and quickened his pace. Link was also a walker. In fact, he lived just two neighborhoods behind Dark. He pushed past Pit and Cherron, not really caring if he tripped the pet Goomba that helped Boona around. Boona was the ghost Boo's daughter. She was blind and albino, but she was very attractive. Midshoulder length white-silver hair, fresh snow white eyes that glittered when she laughed, and flawless porcelain skin. Dark had even considered asking her out more than twice. Of course, he had set his sights for one prize only; and...that one happened to be getting away.

Scoffing and growling softly when Ike and Marth caught up to Link and flanked both his sides, he hung back, having hooked his free hand into the rope of his knapsack and drumming it against the taut backpack length. Those two blunettes annoyed him to absolutely no end. Where was their other friend, that flame-headed boy? He didn't remember if he had thought this or not, but he figured Roy's hair was unnatural. There was no way someone as human as him could have that pure red of hair. There was just no way. Tapping the toe of his black Converse impatiently as the trio stopped, he grew more and more impatient. Were they going to take all day?

Letting out a small sigh of relief, mainly from having so much irritation build up, as the two left, he caught up to his range of Link, watching the blonde adjust the shouldered backpack on his right shoulder, letting it hang beside his right leg. It looked like he was having no problem carrying it, but it looked to be at least twenty pounds. 'What in the name of Din could he possibly have in there?' Dark's eyes widened slightly at the sight of the gant backpack, wondering if there was actually a dead body in there. Who was that small that could fit in there...? Fox, maybe. Or Kirby. Wait, hadn't Kirby transferred to a different school, or was he aboard the Halberd with Meta Knight? He shook his head, not remembering but not caring.

Slipping out the side door that lead to the walker's area of the school after Link, Dark tailed him in the shadows and behind small groups, knowing everyone would be gone before they were alone. 'Just five minutes, just wait five minutes, and then things can start,' Dark chewed his bottom lip softly, watching as gray clouds rolled in over the sky, covering the blue. His eyes flashed mischieviously at the dispersing light, and when he glanced around, no one was around. All he could hear were the dead leaves of autumn whispering in the wind, and their footsteps. Actually, he couldn't even hear his own. 'Time to make my move,' he grinned. Gliding quickly up behind Link, he grabbed the blonde's wrist, making him jump and almost drop his phone.

"Good Goddesses, Dark! What is wrong with you lately?!" He pouted slightly and pocketed his phone, sliding it shut. Dark said nothing, only locked his fiery crimson hues with Link's frigid cerulean hues, in what seemed an eternal stare. Finally, Link arched a brow at him and tried to tug his wrist back, yelping when Dark squeezed it tighter. "Ngn, Dark, l-let go of my wrist, please. You're hurting me, Dark!" Dark grinned widely, and Link's heart sunk slightly, ears drooping in fear.

"Mmm, I don't think so. Not yet, anyway," Dark chuckled. Link began struggling to free his wrist, yelping each time Dark tightened his grip until he couldn't feel the appendage anymore. His eyes grew wide as Dark tugged his arm down, wincing in pain. Dark lifted his chin roughly, making his head jerk up, and leaned forward abruptly, capturing Link's lips against his. Link gasped, trying to jerk his head away. Dark to that gasp as an opportunity and shoved his tongue into Link's mouth roughly. Link's pupils diluted, the absolute shock sinking in. Dark pushed Link against the nearest wall, evidently it being in a small alley from prying eyes, and continued to kiss him roughly. Link struggled to get Dark's tongue out of his mouth, but failed and just let Dark, knowing there wasn't much he could do at this vantage point. He was pinned against a wall and against Dark. Although...some small part of him liked this. 'No, I hate this! I'm straight, I have a girlfriend! I've had girlfriends!' Link shut his eyes as he tried to reassure himself of his sexuality. They snapped back open when he felt a cold hand against his bare hip, glancing down as best he could. Dark chuckled mentally and ran his hands up Link's sides slowly, under his shirt. Link whimpered, and shivered at the clashing temperatures.

Finally, Dark broke away, leaving Link coughing and spitting on the ground, staring at him in shock. "Well?" Dark smirked, cocking a brow at him. Link just trembled and darted out of the alley, sprinting the rest of the way home, only glancing back once. "Huh, no wonder the track team's good this year," Dark commented boredly, adjusting his things and heading to his own house. He tried not to show it when he unlocked the door, but inside, he was cheering at how well that went. "Next, phase two. Then we see what he does," Dark chuckled as he knelt down, scratching his Lab's head as she wagged her tail happily, sitting down at his feet. He patted her head and stood, dropping his things in his room and grabbing a Monster from the refridgerator, sitting down at his desk and turning his lamp on, illuminating a small doodle of him and Link. "Soon, Link, oh so very soon."

A/N OMG!! CHRISTMAS! FUCKING A YES! Sorry, but I get hyper. :D Enjoy this Christmas present chapter...thing.
