A/N: Mistake fixed! Thanks Ed-kun!
Limelight
He is nervous. His palms are sweaty, his heart thumps loudly in his throat.
He swallows hard trying to make it go down. It won't.
His partner is looking at him, purple eyes dark and alluring piercing through to his very soul.
Dark.
He can't help it. He is close, so very close. One more step and the other's arms wrap around him. They're warm. He is warm.
This is wrong!
He knows he is blushing. He is sure his cheeks are as red as his hair because he is close. So close.
The warmth creeps up his throat and onto his face.
A small breath fans his cheek, heating it further. He thinks it should have cooled, for certainly his partner's eyes are nothing if not devoid of emotion.
So close!
But...we're guys! This is wrong!
He swallows again, hard, wishing his heart would stop its frantic pounding against his ribs. He's certain his partner can hear it.
How can he not be worried? We're boys...both of us...is...are...oh...
Tears threaten to well in his eyes, so he closes them. It is a mistake. In that moment he knows it will happen.
A firm hand cups his chin, tilting it slightly; the soft puff of air on his face moves closer to his lips and then...
"Yeah!!! Go Niwa-kun! Hiwatari-kun" Someone shouts from the crowd, then is promptly silenced by the wave of cheers and applause that fills the auditorium.
It's deafening, like thunder.
He opens his eyes. His partner's lips are hovering slightly away from his cheek, his head turned to the audience. Their faces are disguised by a curtain of purple strands.
The pressure is lifted as Satoshi stands back with a smirk on his face. A quirked eyebrow questions Daisuke.
"You...I...we...didn't...er..." He gets no further before someone grasps his hand turning him into a kiss unlike any other he's ever felt. Even more dazed he stumbles away only to realize Riku is still holding his hand and grinning.
"What can I say? I just wanted to make sure you remember you're my boyfriend." Looking past him, to Satoshi she smirks. "Sorry Hiwatari-kun. He's taken."
With another smirk the boy in question turns away.
Still dazed, with Riku pulling him to the dressing room, he is relieved to sense she is not mad; a voice rings in his head – mature and mysterious, he knows exactly who it is.
Dark!
The man in question chuckles: "I had no idea you liked me so much! If you wanted a kiss all you had to do was ask." A wink and Daisuke is running like mad trying to escape from something that is unavoidable.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiikuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!"
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this! Thank you for reading it! A small note about the last paragraph, just to clarify, "something that is unavoidable" should be read from Daisuke's perspective: ie to him it seems unavoidable, but that does not mean it will necessarily be so. Hope this sheds some light...and if it doesn't sorry about the confusion.
