A/N: A Daikeru, because Takeru makes such a cute uke and rivals make
excellent lovers. It could be a Daikeru friendship, too, if you're into
metaphors. The point is that they're buddy-buddy, okay? That was why I
wrote it.
This was actually inspired by a fic I read with a similar backstory, but I've forgotten its name now . . . It was so cute; little chibi Takeru was looking for a boyfriend since his brother had one, and he found little Daisuke in the park and it was all so ADORABLE! Yeek! ^ ^
"A Strange Relationship"
Theirs was a strange relationship
Of love without sex, without passion
Or touches that felt like fire
Children, little more than infants
Still gawky in their skin
Collided one day on the street
Falling to their knees
One with soft blond tresses
Began to cry from pain
Clutching his scraped hands to his heart
The other, his hair spiked burgundy
Offered an insatiable grin
And helped the blond to his feet
Wiping the tears away effortlessly
As if he had known the other forever
And in an instant, it was like they had
For weeks, months, a single year
Neither was ever without the other
To them, it was an instantaneous infinity
Ending much to soon
When their families sought new lives
In new places
In time, they forgot each other
As children are wont to do
Until one day, years had passed
And they collided again
This time in vicious rivalry
For the heart of a girl like the sun
And a thousand other desirable things
That neither wanted to begin with
Theirs was a strange relationship
Of hate without reason, without focus
And touching only to hurt
For weeks, months, a single year
They fought their battles
Sometimes in tandem, more often apart
But then the gods of chance
Decided once again to strike
And the two, in strange coincidence
Collided in the street
Rocked to the ground, to their knees
The blond scraping his hands
And clutching them to his heart in pain
And realization struck with uncanny precision
The two were left staring at each other
Through wide eyes that brought up
Countless memories of past hurts and cruelties
Until the darker flashed an insatiable grin
And helped the blond to his feet
The memories changed
To recall gentle words and gentler actions
In a flash, both saw that the sun-girl and
The thousand other desirable things
Were nothing to the person before them
Who met their eyes with silent promises
Of sweet words and pleasures in darkness
That before now were forbidden and unknown
And though the blond was steady on his feet
Neither released the other's hand
Nor said a single word
They did nothing but smile
For theirs is a strange relationship
Of passionate love and violent fights
Of touches that sometimes burn with pleasure
And others burn with pain
Yet neither believes he would have it
Any other way.
