Title: Stay the Night

“You’re pissing me off.”

“Why?” The Author flashed him a grin, his teeth white against the dark. “Because I am who I am because of you? Because-” he leaned closer, batting his eyelashes- “I adore your laugh?”

Dark’s hands tightened on the steering wheel, eyes glinting under the passing lights of the streetlamps. “Next time, I pick the movie.”

“Aww,” the Author reached across the center console to stroke Dark’s cheek with his thumb, “your smile is gorgeous. Please, keep doing it.”

“I’m going to kill you.” As he spoke, the road took a desolate turn; the streetlamps and urban setting faded away, leaving only the headlights to illuminate the cracked, pot-hole filled road in front of them. The only thing that could be seen for miles ahead was black, dense woods.

“But I love you,” the Author declared, “you can’t kill me.”

Dark snorted, then, without further comment, flicked the blinker on and pulled over to the side of the road. “This is your stop. Get out.”

The Author groaned. Then a mischievous smile spread across his face and he leaned across the console to whisper in Dark’s ear, “but … can’t I just stay the night?”

That earned a scowl. “No.”

The Author brought his hand up to cup Dark’s face, tilting it so the entity was forced to meet his gaze. “I’m very lonely, you know. Can’t you come keep me company?” He batted his eyelashes again, hoping that he sounded sufficiently lovelorn and I-am-all-alone-in-this-world. “Just for a little bit?”

The scowl deepened. “No.”

“Perhaps this will change your mind.” The Author kissed him, slow at first, then harder as Dark reciprocated in kind.

Dark was the first to break away. He gave a frustrated sigh before cutting the engine. “Fine. You win.”

The Author grinned, kissed him again. “I knew I would.”
