After the dark thing doesnt wanna eat but craves touch. Luke asks him can the overwhelmed by touch sometimes be opposite? Oscar says yeah and he gets anxious if he doesnt have contact w someone. Luke says he doesnt mind any point Oscar happy.

Tw/ fear of the dark (sounds dumb but it was lowkey triggering for me so idk)

"Hey oscar whats up?" I look around my room, panic filling my body.

"I-umm. No-nothing? Can i c-come over?"
He hums in response. "Of course you can, you're welcome here any time angel. Are you staying the night?"

I blush. "Im s-sorry. Onl-only if th-thats ok." He chuckles.

"Of course it is, come over whenever." I dont reply, just quickly hang up as i hear footsteps getting closer.

"Harris junior, we got some news kiddo." I back closer to my window as the voice in the hallway gets closer, until im halfway out.

"Your old mans rejoined the law firm, soon enough he will be able to afford to send you away." Just as he opens the door, i jump.

I get half way down the street before i hear the door slam open.

Oh how i love my life.

I sprint towards the forest, seeing the large pitch black area come closer.

I have a panic attack every time. Im not sure whats worse, the dark, or the men chasing me.

I quickly sprint and jump over a large tree stump, which will hopefully slow down the intoxicated men.

"HARRIS WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU." I widen my eyes and eventually see the street lights from lukes estate.

I finally jump over the gate and try to catch my breath.

Im so lucky i have luke around the corner, i used to have to run basically the whole night, until I finally reach lizzies house or until they gave up.

I finally reach his house and before i can even knock he answers, dragging me inside.

"I dont want you sick, its the middle of February, you could get a cold!" I sigh and hug the taller boy.

"Im home alone for now so we can watch a movie if you want?" I nod softly and smile to myself while taking my shoes off.

He grabs some potato chips and we sit on his huge couch as he picks a film.

I love lukes house, its literally huge. I mean sure my house is pretty big, but its very dark and empty making it look small.

"So angel, can i ask, what made you not wanna be at home?"

I frown and lean into the sofa.

"My-i...Umm. My p-parents argue so-sometimes." He smiles and nods.

"Well im glad you feel safe here angel." I smile but seconds later the moment is ruined by literally my worst fear,

The lights went out.

"L-luke?" My eyes widen, trying to see anything around me.

"Damn stupid electricity, this happens all the time, it will turn on soon." My breathing gets heavy and i squeeze his hand.

What if hes found me? What if hes inside right now?

"Angel are you ok?" He pulls me closer and i just cry.

"I h-hate the dark s-so much." He chuckles. "Dont worry angel, no demons or monsters will get you, ill protect you." I smile sadly.

If only he knew, the monster i was scared of, was just around the corner.

Lukes pov

Around 15 minutes later the lights finally turn back on. I look down to see a shaking small boy clinging to me.

"Angel the lights are back on. No monsters." He slowly opens one eye before sitting back.

"Oh my g-god." I chuckle at the small boy.

"Angel, what do you do when theres a power outage when your home alone." He sighs.

"Iv c-collected ma-many battery op-operated lights over the p-pa-past few y-years, so i c-can always s-see." I smile sadly and hug him.

"This is a real thing huh? Not some small silly fear like spiders." He shakes his head.

"Id-id rather di-dive off a b-bridge th-than be in-in the d-dark." I hug him tightly.

"Always call me if youre in the dark ok? I dont want you scared." He nods and smiles slightly.

"T-thankyou for ma-making me f-feel safe." I chuckle and kiss his cheek.

"Its fine angel. Now, wanna watch star wars?" He nods gently.

Damn i love this boy.

I cant explain my fear of the dark.

Its worse than anything.

You know the thing about carrots and if you eat them you can see in the dark? I remember my mother telling me that once.

As I've grown up, i realise now its probably not true, but i still eat carrots daily even though they taste awful, just in case.

I dont like talking about the dark, i get scared people will use it against me. Even in class, when they turn the lights off to watch a movie, i cant concentrate, im too busy scanning the area.

The reason the dark is so scary, is because my mind tricks me into seeing him in the dark. Just a black figure.

This is one of the huge things i've never explained to anyone, it makes me feel insane.

I try to avoid being in the dark, i dont always show my fear, since i know it would be another thing peter bullied me about, but the pure panic is there, overwhelming my mind.

So, if I haven't made it clear. I hate the dark.

"Hmm im scared of moving fast, like on a rollercoaster, sounds kinda dumb." Lukes words quickly snap me out of my daydream.

I frown softly.

"Its not." He smiles at my response.

"It just brings back bad memories, the whole accident. I dont want to ever see or have it happen again." He gently wraps an arm around my waste and draws small circles upon my hip where my phoenix scar is.

"So i guess a fast moving car in the dark wouldnt work for us huh?" I giggle slightly and shake my head.

"Im really glad you're my phoenix mate oscar, I really do love you a lot angel." I blush and hide my face.

"I love y-you too."

And i really really do.
