Day VS Night: Endlessly Admired

Chapter Two

SOLACE

That's who I am.

Ilkay calls me Sol.

Don't call me Sol.

Only he can call me that.

I am The Sun.

Yeah. That big, firey ball of gas up in the sky.

Ilkay and I battle.

When I win it's Day.

When he wins it's Night.

This is who we are.

It's always been this way.

I wish it wasn't this way....

But it has to be.

After all, he hates me with every fiber in his being.

My human form wondered around the streets of Northern Texas.

It was truly beautiful.

I missed him.

I wish....

I wish he'd love me.

I wish he wouldn't always want to fight.

Couldn't we just share?

Guess not.

I saw him.

His black hair was blacker than, well, night.

Even from this distance, I could see his Milky Way eyes shining brightly.

His skin shone bright like a star.

His freckles looked like constellations splashed across his face and body. How I wished to see the rest of him. How I wished to be loved by him. 

He looked truly happy.

Truly beautiful.

Then he saw me.

His face fell.

I sighed, knowing we would have to fight soon.

I went up to him.

"Guess it's time?" I said.

"Yeah... I guess..."

He seemed.... sad... almost...

That's how he always seemed when we battled.

"Ready?" he asked.

I nodded.

The truth was, I was lying.

I was not ready. I wasn't ready for us to start fighting again. I wasn't ready for his harsh words, assuring me of his hate.

I wasn't ready to see him hurt again.

I certainly wasn't ready for what he did next...
