Kept on the inside
Sometimes a shadow wins
The later the night got, the more Reeve's shivering intensified. It wasn't all that surprising that he was so cold considering he was sitting out at the edge of the dock, legs criss-crossed, near the water. It was always cooler near the water and after dark. It was nearly one in the morning now, but Reeve still didn't feel like going home. He knew he should have, because it was doubtful his mother had even bothered to feed herself, but it was so late that she was probably passed out by now anyways. That is, if she'd even bothered to come home at all from the bar or perhaps a lover's house. It really worried him that he didn't really care all that much whether she'd eaten or not tonight.
The fact that he didn't care made him fear that he wasn't currently acting like himself. Which wasn't entirely true. He was acting like himself. He was just acting like his other self. Reeve Kasamatsu, the kind, anxiety-ridden, and considerate version, was taking a break. A different side of him had taken control, entirely different, but still a product of the same boy's mind. Only, the more innocent Reeve was still pretty aware of what was going on. Though he knew he should have been headed home, his dangerous self wasn't going to let his legs start moving anytime soon.
Reeve leaned forward, staring down at his reflection brought on by the moonlight on top of the dark water. His smile was sharp and a lot more threatening then it would have normally been if he had felt completely sane. In fact, Reeve didn't even recognize that what he was looking at was himself anymore. He only saw a monster, one that he would stab through the heart if he had the courage when he was still in control. He felt like he was hyperventilating inside, suffocating, but he still couldn't throw his good self back behind the wheel. Reeve laughed out loud. "Stop fighting, ya' little brat, or I'll drown anything that's left of you," he spoke into the water. His current outer self was scolding the boy trapped inside, very much aware of all the wiggling he was doing in attempt to free himself.
