Dark Days - [open if anyone feels like it]

[hikari_netto]

Netto's trip to the Nexus where he'd talked to Shiroi Enzan and Searchman, and even his attempts to get on Knightman's nerves, seemed like they'd happened a lifetime ago.

He had entered the Reality Vanish network and had succeeded in finding a Darkloid, Coldman, and convincing him to take him to the rest of the Darkloids. He had said that he

Dark Rock opened Netto's door as quietly as he could, shutting it behind him just as quietly. He had been worried when Netto had come home and gone straight to bed without saying anything.

Creeping over to kneel by the bed, Dark Rock whispered, "Netto-kun?"

Netto was awake, of course. He even had his eyes open, although maybe Dark Rock hadn't noticed that. He shifted in his bed, letting Dark Rock know he was awake. "Yeah?" he said quietly, trying not to let on what he was feeling.

"I was worried about you." Dark Rock shifted so he sitting more comfortably, his arms resting on the edge of the bed, "Are you feeling alright?"

Netto hesitated. He didn't want to tell Dark Rock what had really happened, but he didn't want to lie, either. "I feel sick," he admitted. "And I can't sleep." And I still can't feel you. What did that Dark Chip do to me?

Netto dragged in a deep, shaky breath, then quickly tried to compose himself before turning to face his brother. "Saito-kun..." he whispered, trying not to wake Dark Rock. He instinctively tried to reach through the link, but there was nothing there. He could feel tears gathering at the corners of his eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked, trying to concentrate on something else. It wasn't often that Saito came to cuddle with him and Dark Rock was there, too.

"I didn't want to risk losing you again!" Netto said, only barely remembering to keep his voice down so as not to wake Dark Rock. "I don't ever want to lose you, 'niisan."

Yes, he was avoiding and trying to distract Saito from the first question.

"Saito-kun!" Netto protested. He reached out to touch his brother's back, then sagged in defeat. He kept his hand where it was, though, hoping his Saito would turn back to him. "They didn't hurt me," he said miserably. "Not really. I did it to myself. I used a Dark Chip."
