Chapter Text

We just "escaped" from the atrociraptors in my van. Darius was next to me, looking out the window. I looked at him while driving as he turned to me, I raised an eyebrow.

 

-What?- Darius asks- That doesn't mean anything!.-

- Darius, Darius, Darius...- I say as he tries to make a valid point on why those 3 atrociratops breaking into his house and chasing us is a normal thing.

 

Darius just crossed his arms and placed his legs on the dashboard (?) and looked at the road. I kept driving for 5 minutes until he started asking me where I found all of this. I told him that we were going to Sammy's place first since it was the closest, so he took out his phone to call her... In responce I rolled down the window, I took his phone out of his hand and threw it out of the window. He looked at me in shock and questioned my behavior.

 

-How are we supposed to warn the others if we have no phones, huh? DId you learn telekinesis in that web site too?- he asked as he put his legs down.

 

-No... There, Sammy sent a carepackage.- Darius took it and looked at it.

-Who would even wanna do that? What's the motive?.- he asks, looking at me worried.

-I've got some theories, you can check 'em in the back if you want.

 

Darius stood up and went to the back, I heard him say something, i couldnt really understand it, but sounds of stuff moving came from there so I guess he found them. After a few minutes Darius came running and put his seatbelt.

 

-Okay, first of all, are you eating out of a boot? because if you are we need to talk about it.- he complained. I just groaned and rolled my eyes.- and second, "shaving cream being behind it all?" What the heck are these?.- He asked with a pink sticky note on his hand.

-They are theories. Some from that web site, and some of my own.- I said as I took the note out of his hand and kept driving.-But it doesnt matter who is hunting us. What matters is that they are.-

 

Darius just looked down and took his jacket off. We stayed in silence for a while, even though we hadnt talked in months, I couldnt find the courage to ask anything.

 

Even though it was late october, the van was pretty hot, but the air conditioner of the car was broken, and I couldnt blame anyone if they just wanted to get out of it. And I could see Darius sweating and was really uncomfortable.

 

-Sorry if its really hot in here, the air is broken.- Darius looked at me.

- Do you have a short sleeve t-shit that you can lend me?- he asked.

-Yeah of course, you can find one under the microwave.- I said. 

 

Darius stood up and went to the back, again. I decided to play some music while he was gone... But then a song passed, and then another one, and another one. And i thought "maybe he didnt find the t-shirt". So I decided to stop the van and check out on Darius. I parked the car, stood up and opened the door.

 

-Hey, Darius. Did you find the shirt...- I got in and saw Darius with his dark blue t-shirt on his arms. I looked at him shocked, he was paralized. The next thing I noticed were the scars under his chest. When he saw how I was looking at them, he took the shirt out of his arms and tries to hide them.

-Im okay, I already found the shirt.- I took that as a get out and walked my wasy to my seat.

 

A minute later he came in and sat down, giving me half of his back. I looked at him and just started driving the car to the road again, but i was feeling so bad. I knew Darius was trans from the moment i saw him on the boat that was taking us to nublar, but after six years, i never thought he still felt bad about it after his top surgery.

 

-Darius?- I asked, in respones i just got a sigh.- im sorry for looking at you...- 

-its okay, its not your fault.- I didnt knew what that meant, but I didnt want to make him feal worse so I just kept driving.
