The Concept of Love- DCxDP prompt
You ever wondered what it would be like to discuss life with a god is like. Someone that could give you a few answers to what is going on in life? Well that isn't what Tim got. For one thing, this isn't a god. He never claimed to be one either. He's something at least.
Tin would tell you that it was an accident but considering the summoning involved a Faraday cage, a superconductor and several buckets of dry ice no one would believe him. The worst part was that it really wasn't him. It was another version of him that is very dead now after doing it wrong.
So the thing that the other him summoned decided to move other to another version to finish the deal. That was how Tim got stuck with Danny.
Tim didn't take it too seriously after the initial shock. At present they were playing a game of chess. Tim never won since Danny played one sided 6th dimensional chess while Tim was still playing 3D chess. It was mostly an excuse to talk.
"Love is as primal as hate." Danny said moving his piece"of the two I can't tell which is worse."
"You think love is that simple?" Tim leaned back in his chair.
"It's instinctive." The god examined his legion of pawns shattering the board.
"Why is it then that I can have complex reasons to love someone?" Tim smirked as he moved his rook.
"You dated like 9 girls a once, playboy. Tell me if that it wasn't for purely instinctive reasons. Because it offers you no benefits outside of physical needs." Danny smirked back as he immediately took the offered piece.
Tim furrowed his brows in confusion .
"I didn't do that."
"Different timeline then. Same thing to me." Danny waved it off.
"So, is there another you in this world?" Tim placed the queen piece outside the board and watched as Danny's eyes shift around the board as he was momentarily thrown off.
Then Danny narrowed his gaze, his green eyes looked at the countless boards existed in this moment. Each version blinking in and out of existence. Then he picked up the queen.
"What if I said yes?" Danny responded. "If there was he wouldn't really be me."
"Then I'd want to meet him." Tim said. "I wonder if he shares your view on love."
"Probably not. He's likely still in that puppy love stage where he wants to find the one for him." He said derisively "Probably looking in all the wrong places and getting his heart broken over and over and over."
"Like you?" Tim asked.
"No. Never had the chance. Just seen it enough." Danny sighed "I know what your thinking. No, I don't have the capacity care in that way."
"So you can't fall in love?" Tim had mostly forgotten the game as he tipped a pawn over.
Danny shrugged, "I don't need to."
"So I can't prove you wrong for once." Tim sighed.
"I think you just want to be greedy. Another me would make you happy, huh?" Danny said smugly.
"You are hard to deal with. Knowing everything must be boring. No mysteries. No wonder. Why come here?" Tim countered.
"Why not. Just like the version of you that cheated on every partner he had, I just want to feel any bit of sensation. Not the kind you wanted of course. I get bored too you know."
"You're pathetic." Tim retorted.
Danny smiled. An impossibly wide and toothy smile. Too many teeth. His eyes looked hollow and sunken with two green piercing dots for pupils.
The air was heavy and still like oil. Then it stopped.
"I guess, I am." Danny answered.
Then he was gone. Tim had lost the game.
He let out a sigh of relief. He had forgotten that whatever Danny is he wasn't a human anymore. This version at least couldn't be compared to others.
