It had been a week since Dasher met Bullseye, he wouldn't walk in an alley, he wouldn't drink in the pub, he had been in the Coney Island Hospital healing. Dasher was selling his papers on the streets. He felt somewhat empty, his feelings were hurt, and all he could think about was what Bullseye said to him. His eyes skimmed the area as he walked into a diner, he had ordered a burger to go. Dash paid and looked into his bag. He only had a few papers left, the day had went by fast, the afternoon rush had taken all his papers. Dasher couldn't help it his mind wondered as he started toward Brooklyn, he was ready to do whatever made Bullseye 'Happy' The young boy walked the tunnels ending up at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Dasher looked at it as he started his journey. He was slow at times, he knew where he was headed. Dash didn't want to run into Spot, but he knew that Bullseye was a bird and he'd have to find his perch. As Dash walked now on the grounds of Brooklyn he watched the kids petal their papers. He had asked a couple where the Docks where and when he got a solid answer he pin pointed his route. Dasher walked the docks, it was a hot day as some of the Brooklyn kids jumped into the water. It must have been a thrill jumping off something that high. Then out the corner of his eye he saw him up on his perch. Dasher walked with a straight face looking up at Bullseye with his big black eye almost healed. "I's ready Bullseye.." Dash said as he looked around at the other boys smiling faintly a little as how loud they were not to mention shirtless. |

He hadn't forgotten about the boy, not at all, but he didn't make it a point to dwell on things, in his weeks time since the alley situation, he had found pleasure within Love, she was hard to get at and he still had yet to fully get it in with her, but he was working hard for it. There was a difference with Bullseye when it came to girls as opposed to boys, Bullseye in a sense respected females, unless your name was Baby of course, and he would not lay his hands on a female the way he had with Dasher unless the female asked him for it because they liked it like that. He smirked as he sat upon his perch, his eyes closed, his head tilted back against one ot the beams as he dangled one leg off the side of the beam he sat on and the other was bent up against his chest. A cigarette was loosely placed between his lips and he was thinking of many things. His thoughts drifted back to the alley, in a sense he knew he had been abit harsh on the poor kid, but he just didnt know how to control himself sometimes. His thoughts drifted back to Love, her soothing voice when he had met her at O'Reily's a few nights back, she had seemed so interested in his muscular build and his manly voice, she had laughed and joked with him and he had been the gentleman and bought her drinks, boy could that girl drink. He heard a voice down below beckoning to him and his eye twitched in slight frustration at his daydreaming being interrupted. He opened his eyes and looked down to see the kid from a week ago.
He chuckled at the boy's words, was he really ready? He flicked his cigarette aside and ruffled his hair before he hopped down from his high beam landing right infront of Dasher with a thud on his feet. "Ya are now? Is that so?" he said as he caught the boy glance over at some of the boys hopping off the docks. Bullseye glared at Dasher for a moment and grabbed the boy by the jaw forcing him to look right into Bullseye's dark eyes,"What'd I tell you bout lookin at otheh boys huh? You got two options, ya look at meh or ya look at yer own feet got it?" he sneered. |

The sites of the boys jumping f the dock was distracting, they shoved each other in the water, and climbed up the dock doing it all over again wrestling. Dasher licked his lips as he watched Bullseye hop down from his perch. When he boy asked him if he was ready he nodded at Bullseye. "You's told me when I's was ready to do what you asked and make you happy to come find you." Daster said as he looked down at his feet tracing the dock with his shoe. He could feel Bullseye pull his face up as he looked him in the eyes listening to his words. Dash nodded fast as he flinched a little not ready to be hit. "I's can do that.." Dasher said looking Bullseye in the eyes smiling halfly trying to assure the boy he was looking at only him. Dasher didn't like that his eyes should be able to cross whatever they wanted this boy was a bit bossy, he started to contemplate if it was even worth the visit at this point.After all he was a man, not Bullseye's little bitch maybe someday the other boy would respect him a little more, just not at this current time this eased Dash's mind a little. |

Bullseye nodded and dropped the boy's jaw,"Good, I's catch ya lookin at someone else like dat again ya won't be vereh happy," he said before he looked around for a moment, he gestured to Baby that he was leaving, he could see the smirk on her lips at what she had just witnessed from her high perch and he knew he would have to have a conversation with her about keeping her mouth shut later. He grabbed Dasher by the collar of his shirt and yanked him in the direction of the streets. He let go of the boy's collar when they got far enough away from the docks and he lit another cigarette as he walked beside the boy, down the street,"Listen... I..." he looked down at Dasher, was he really just about to apologize to this kid? He shook his head and took a long drag reconsidering it,"I aint gonna do dis all da time so's don't get used ta it, but I am kinda sorreh bout da udda night, alright?" he finally gave the kid some decency but Dasher better take it as it came and not get too excited over it. He ruffled his own hair again and glanced through some of the shop windows they passed,"So misteh I dont do much fer fun, tell meh what ya wanna do taday, but make it worth my time," he said tilting his head back to glance up at the sun. |

As he was dragged down the docks Dash looked at the ground he looked at his own feet when he walked as they hit the street he still looked down. When Bullseye started to apologize he raised his eyebrow looking him in the eyes. Dasher looked blank of emotion as he smiled a little. He let his front teeth skim his bottom lip a couple times before he spoke softly. "Why be sorry it made you happy remember?" Dasher said as he shot Bulleye's words back at him from the other night. If this experience in life didn't make him strong he didn't know what would. Dash never had conflict with people, and when he did he'd stand up for himself or shrug it off. He flipped his hair out of his face as he looked down at his feet again. "I accept you's apology though Bullseye, even if I act like it don't phase me it does..." Dasher admitted.
As Bullseye looked at the store window Dash followed his eyes. When he asked what he wanted to do, Dasher replied. "Make you happy thats what I's heah for right?..." He squinted looking at the sun then back to Bullseye, that was why he was here after all correct he thought being a smart ass as he kept his comment to himself and looked back to the ground. |

Bullseye had half the nerve to clock the kid in his other eye at this point, mouthing off to him like he was special or something. Bullseye growled abit taking another drag off his cigarette,"If I say I'm sorreh, ya betteh take da damn apology period, I don't apologize often so take it as a nice thing whether you like it or not," he sneered as he tossed his cigarette aside onto the ground and shoved his hands back in his pockets,"I asked what you want to do, so answer without a smart ass remark, got it? What do you want to do? Answer me properly," he said as he looked down at the boy. If this kid was smart he wouldn't test Bullseye's patience any further, he was lucky he wasn't holding his other eye in pain right now because of his words. He looked ahead of himself now and watched as a girl walked out of a store, he smirked abit as he looked her up and down for a moment and he fought the urge to go talk to her, he'd find a female to galavant around with later, right now Dasher needed to say what he wanted to do so they could stop walking around for no reason. |

Dasher listened to Bullseye get angry, the boy wasn't special, Dasher wasn't going to show him emotion, after what he did to Dash he himself felt trapped. Dash nodded when Bullseye explain the apology, maybe after all it was special in Bulleye's mind. Dash watched as he eyed the girl he followed Bullseye's eyes to her as he drooled Dash shook his head as he cracked his knuckles. He grabbed Bullseye's face and made him look down. "I's down hea." Dash said a little annoyed and jealous. What bothered him most was that he was attached. "I's want to get ice cream and go to the beach there you's can explain to me why you's such a dick, and I's explain why I's take your crap." Dasher said as he looked at the Ice cream parlor.
Dasher didn't let Bullseye talk as he walked toward it he was still aggravated about the girl thing as he walked into the Ice cream place, was he being harsh on Bullseye? No it wasn't like the boy couldn't take it Spot as his leader. He looked at the woman as he looked down to the flavors. "I's have Strawberry." Dasher said as he waited to see if Bullseye was going to come in and get a cone too. Or he might have been too busy being pissy. [/color] |

Bullseye felt the boy grab him and at that he pulled back hard and shoved Dasher away from him,"Don't ya eveh touch meh like dat," he growled and when Dasher spoke, this pissed him off more. He watched the boy go off about how they needed to open up to each other and he laughed, yeah ok, he'd known people for years that he was actually close to and they didn't even know anything so who did this boy think he was? When Dasher went into the ice cream shop, he didn't follow right away instead he went to approach the girl but something else caught him by the corner of his eyes, jesus, perfect it was like this girl was stalking him, but all the better he guessed. Love approached him and he stopped himself from going to talk to the other girl. He shoved one hand through his hair and looked down wiping the anger off his face. When she stopped infront of him he looked up. She gave him those big pretty eyes and batted her eyelashes and he couldn't help but push his anger aside, he couldn't let her see him so mean. "Hey darlin, I'm kinda busy, what you doin in dese parts?" he asked her. Love touched his shoulder and smiled as she eyed him,"I came to see you of course, how are you busy?" she asked him. He sighed and looked through the ice cream shop window,"I's wit meh little cousin from outta town, can ya come see meh anudda day?" he asked her. She looked inside at Dasher who was ordering ice cream and she looked back to Bullseye,"Alright, well have fun and I'll mosey my way back hereh tomorra," she told him before kissing his cheek and walking passed him heading off to run her own errands.
Bullseye sighed in relief, that was abit easier than he had expected it to be, he regained his composure and walked into the shop ordering a pistachio ice cream cone and then he paid for both of them and walked back outside with Dasher,"We's can go to da pier and walk around maybeh play some arcade games and stuff alright?" he said acting as if the argument before Love had shown up didn't happen. |

Another girl, Dash turned around as he thought to himself for a moment reaching into his pocket he had money. Dasher didn't like to be jealous and if this was special as he was trying to make it then he shouldn't be. After all he gets threatened for looking at others and told where to look yet some girl could kiss his cheek. Dasher watched as Bullseye walked in, he seemed calm at this point as Dash squinted he was a little fed up as Bullseye ordered an Ice cream and paid for them both. Dasher walked fast out the store as he walked ahead kind of fast he was probably giving off the walk and attitude he was upset.
He spun around in his step and when Bullseye caught up he tossed coins at him. He basically didn't have to say anything at this point. "Dats for the Ice cream and You's know what I's go to the pier myself, and you's can go be with your lady friend." Dasher growled as he was making a scene you could only push a boy with mental problems so far before he snapped. He turned himself to the direction of the pier he was fed up blowing off steam. What was the worst the boy could do hit him, play with his head more. No it didn't matter he could take his ways else where and go do that to the girl that kissed his cheek!
Dash walked for a while as he made it to the pier it seemed kind of empty, he didn't care he walked down to the end sitting down. He brought his knees to his chest as he could feel his eyes tear up a little. He licked his ice cream before it started to drip on his hand, he hated his hand being sticky. He felt himself taking in a breath as he shouted "WHYYY!" He let the tears stream down his cheeks as he looked at the water as the sun made it sparkle. |

He let the boy sit there and throw his fit and walk off, he looked at his ice cream, handed it to a passing little boy and took off after Dash after the boy had gotten a decent distance away. He slowed his pace, knowing where he'd probably find the kid. He made his way to the pier, his hands in his pockets casually as he walked along the pier for a moment when he saw the boy not far away and he walked over stopping a few feet behind him,"Why? Cus I dont treat boys wit da same respect I treat goils dats why, I don't because no man has eveh given meh reason to respect em except fer Spot and maybeh Jack Kelly, but I aint gonna let anyone hoirt meh, I's been hoirt enough and I definately aint gonna let you hoirt meh, so dats why," he said after Dasher had hollerred. He tilted his head and looked up to the sky,"I's take what I want cus I dont know how else ta do it, I demand cus I dont know how else ta act, I don't neccessarily mean to, but dats why and if ya cant handle it den kick rocks cus I aint got da time ta try fer someone who cant undastand meh," he said, that was more than he had ever told anyone about how he felt and who he was, this boy may be special down somewhere, but he definately was getting privledges nobody else Bullseye knew got. |

The sound of footsteps made Dash jump a little he listened to Bullseye talk as he continued to look at the water he wiped his face as he could feel them filling again as Bullseye opened up him. Dasher let go of his knees as he let his feet dangle. He sniffled as he turned around letting the tears fall from his face. He wiped them again as spoke patting the spot next to him. "You's da one who hoit me, I's never hoit you, I's never let anyone hoit you again..." He said sad as he sniffed a little, he wondered how men never treated him right, was he in a similar situation, like the one he put Dash in in the alley the other night, Dash looked back at the water. He did mention taking what he had to. After all most Newsies thought like that, whatever it takes to survive.
Dasher wasn't tough, he wasn't strong, he might have not been good looking to everyone but he knew one thing. If you had someone in life that you could learn to trust when everything seemed so bad. You could always turn to them to make everything feel better. Dasher felt the sun on his body as he unbuttoned his shirt. He took it off rolling it up as he felt the sunlight his his skin warming it. The scars on his back, arms and stomach lead to his past. He'd want till Bullseye asked to tell him, if he wanted to know but before he answer to kicking rocks he wanted to see if the other boy came and took his offer to sit as he put his arms behind him leaning back a little at this point. |

He watched the boy offer him a seat and he reluctantly sat down and dangled his legs off the edge,"Dont think I'm gettin soft on you eida though alright? I mean ya I's tellin ya things otheh people dont know but dont take it all ta heart," he said as he looked down before glancing over as the boy removed his shirt. His eyes scanned over the boy before he looked away and toward the sky,"I would normalleh ask if you's was mental but I take it we may have somethin in common," he muttered, he wouldnt ask the boy to explain his scars, if he wanted to that was his choice, but he himself knew how hard it was to relive the past by opening up to somebody and he wasn't willing to enduce that upon someone else, he'd leave that choice up to Dasher. |

Dasher looked over to Bullseye as he smiled halfly. He looked at the sun and skimmed his bottom lip with his front teeth as he listened to Bullseye. "I's nevah said you was soft, and for me...I's don't think you can be. Stop putting woirds in my mouth" Dash smirked a little as his dark green eyes met Bullseye's Brown ones. He cocked his head a little before looking back at the water. The seagulls soared in circles as the sun started to set a little. Dasher moved a little closer to Bullseye. "Maybe we do have something in common, and maybe thats why I's don't let the bad things you do hoit me as much as they would someone normal." Mental, maybe but common ground was something they both had. Dasher was raised by his father and older brothers. He knew nothing but burning, and abuse from men, but he handled himself different then Bullseye. "All I's know is scolding, abuse I's always made a point to try to connect with males due to my thoughts that I's deserved my past." Dasher sighed as he bit his bottom lip his insecurities always got the best of him. "Someday I's could find one that proved that all men were not the same, and thats why I's 'boring' I's don't connect with boys or play boys games..." Dasher admitted as he looked back to Bullseye with a straight face. It wasn't that he didn't have respect for men, just that he was scared to let them in, and if they wanted to be let in they would break down walls to do so. |

Bullseye listened and then he lie back with his hands behind his head as he closed his eyes,"Nobodeh deserves dose scars ya got on ya, and dont let nobodeh tell ya you do cus it aint right," he said as he pulled out another cigarette and lit it bringing it to his lips and taking a long drag. He thought for a long moment in silence, the boy blamed himself for his abuse? That wasn't right... maybe he truly was wrong in hurting the kid, he just couldn't help it sometimes though. "I aint gonna promise nothin, but I's can say I will try ta treat ya a little betteh at least... I dont make promises though cus I aint gonna have a promise held oveh my head if I eveh fuck up..." he said as he opened one eye and glanced over at Dasher. He sighed for a moment before he sat back up opening his eyes, taking another long drag before he got to his feet and offerred the boy his hand to help him up,"So's how bout dem games huh? I'll win ya a stuffed animal or somethin," he said as he looked over his shoulder toward the mini set up of carnival games along the pier. |

Dasher looked down and twiddled his thumbs as Bullseye spoke nice to him about his scars. He sighed a little as he felt bare the sun was going down now and the air got chilly as he reached over putting on his shirt, he smiled as he looked at his arms they had a little red glow it would tan overnight. Dasher smiled to himself as buttoned his shirt. Bullseye being nicer sounded good, maybe Dash wouldn't get so upset or manic when it came down to it if he respected the kid a little. He knew he's still get in trouble for looking at other boys, but that was because of jealousy, Dash guess that he could try his best to chill on the walking away from his problems and being so wise for a little too. "I's doesn't expect you to change, I's like you for who you are... Dash said as Bullseye got up offing him a hand. Dash smiled as he took Bullseye's hand helping himself up.
He's love to go to the arcade with Bullseye he could get a souvenir and when Bullseye was mean to him he could look to the teddy bear and it would show him he wasn't always a jerk. Dash smiled a little as he looked at the sunset once more. He got on his tippy toes and kissed Bullseyes cheek as he couldn't reach that high on the other boy. Dash blushed as he walked beside Bullseye to the arcade. His mind was ruffled as his hair was from the wind at this point. "There I bet that games for you..." Dasher pointed as they walked up to a game. The darts were on the table. The balloons on the wall as the man spoke. "Come step right up 5 balloons for a small prize, 7 for a medium and 10 balloons for a large prize." The object was to toss the darts at the balloons the more you got the bigger the prize. |
