#something something...white suit dark

You sit in your rather uncomfortable chair on the other side of the desk from Dark, neither of you has said anything yet but he knows exactly why you’re here. You want answers. You know he’s hiding something and the box is the key to whatever is going on. The silence in the room is deafening but the ringing of his power hurts your ears.

“People like you only want one thing, it's disgusting…” Dark sneers, holding the intricately carved box in his hands, glaring you down and cutting through the silence.

“I just want to know what’s in the box and why it’s so important to you.” You retort, eyes darting from the box to Dark. Coming to his domaine like this was risky and made you extremely vulnerable to whatever Dark wanted. You weren't scared in the least of him though, Dark and you were old friends and truth be told, he was kinda hot when he was scary.

“If I told you, I’d have to kill you.” He says with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.

“You wouldn’t kill me.” You instantly call his bluff and his expression falters for a moment.

“Maybe I won’t but the box could.” Dark’s face returns to expressionlessness. “But I’m all for adventure, why don’t you open the box, dear?” He holds the box out to you, tempting you to see how far the rabbit hole goes. It was a test, but pass or fail, this is exactly what you came for.

You stare at the box in his hands for a moment, thinking about what exactly could be inside that Dark seemed almost weary about.

‘Fuck it’ you think before taking the box out of his hands, its lighter than you thought it was going to be. You give it a small shake but don't hear anything rattle around.

“Why did you shake it? You don’t know what dangers it can hold!” Dark hissed, reaching to take the box back.

“Oh so you think I’m hot?” He smirks back at you. Demenor shifting as he stands to his full height on the other side of the desk. He braces his hands on the desk, looming over you, oozing power.

“Awww are you suddenly worried about me, hot topic?” You flash him a grin, holding the box just out of his reach.

“Yup.” You nod and while you think you have him distracted you pop the lid of the box open.

Nothing happens. You look back up at him and he looks confused. You decide to dump the contents out onto his desk, and out pours candy, beautiful brand name candy. You shake it to empty it and stare back up at Dark who looks utterly incensed.

“The box is supposed to hold your deepest desires! Not candy! What the hell is wrong with you!” He shouts, hands digging through the candy to find anything else.

“I am a little hungry” You laugh, all the trouble you went through just for the box to be filled with candy. Then you spot it before he does. A tiny plastic spider ring in the midst of the candy. You pick it up and slip it on his finger.

“Did you just…” Dark stops his digging and looks down at the ring.

“Yeah! Guess you were my greatest desire.” You beam at him, cheeks flushed.

“You humans are so strange.” He mutters before finding a matching ring in the pile and slipping it onto your finger, giving your hand a kiss as he does so. In a stunned silence he places the lid back on the box and places it back into his desk.

“So can I keep the candy?” You ask hopefully.

“Yes, you can keep the candy, I suppose I should take you on a date now?” He pinches the bridge of his nose, a very rare blush gracing his greyish cheeks, while you nod eagerly.
