Video Games

Dick curled up in the library, sure this was the one place nobody would think of to look for him, frowning intensely as his hands flew over the game controls. His eyes, however, seemed to be staring through the handheld, and though he was curled up in a more or less hidden corner on a beanbag chair his body was rigid and trembling slightly.

There was a noise, and he jerked, looking up in time to see a shadow slip out of a vernt and land, forming into the tall, slender black and gold form of Katalyn. She blinked and stretched, then looked over.

"Hiding?" she said scornfully.

"And what've you been doing?" he shot back, anger making his face flushed. Kat stared at him, then sniffed and walked out.

"Nothing I'd let you get into, crybaby," she said, going to walk out.

"I'm not a crybaby!" Dick snarled.

"Right. That's not why you destroy everything and run off to hide in corners," she snorted, leaving. Dick glared after her, then settled back and shivered, putting the game down and covering his face.

"I'm not a crybaby," he snarled softly to himself, even as his eyes burned.

"My deal?" She blinks.

"You're a nasty little #@%^#, what'd spyin' do, make you a mouse all a sudden?" he looked at her, glaring.

"You are not attacking Brenda or causing her unhappiness right now." She closes the heavy book she's holding in her lap and runs her fingers over the back of the handmade binding.

"I never attacked her," he said, looking upset and confused as he tried to rememeber.

"When you call her names, or break her things, it is attacking her," she counters softly.

He blinked, then bowed his head.

"I... I don't mean to," he said softly. "I just... get mad... and then I can't... I don't know what's going on."

She nods. "And I must protect her."

"I haven't... I haven't hurt her, have I? Physically?" he asked looking at her with worry etched across his face.
