You're unavoidable
Simply irresistible
And certainly you're kissable
But next to you I'm way to shy
And lose my backbone
Leave my feelings unknown
Play should've could've on my
own
Then I'm left to wonder why
"Saa, Hikari-chan!" Motomiya Daisuke
called as he spotted the pretty brunette a few steps ahead of him. He hasted
to catch up.
"Konnichiwa, Daisuke-chan." Hikari
smiled as the auburn-haired boy fell in step with her, "Did you finish
your homework?"
"Homework?" Daisuke's face went blank.
"Hai, the math homework, Daisuke-kun."
Takeru said from behind the two.
"Konnichiwa, Takeru-kun." Hikari
was instantly all smiles.
Daisuke frowned. Why does she
always seem happier around him than me? he grumbled to himself.
"Saa, Takeru-kun," Hikari's expression
and tone turned serious, "So have you thought about what we talked about?"
"Hai." Takeru said, his smile turning
into a frown.
"And do you agree?" Hikari continued.
"Hai."
"What? What were you guys talking
about?" Daisuke asked eagerly, "C'mon, you can tell Daisuke!"
This is so hard
Letting down my guard
It's all the same, it's I blame
But maybe that's not right
So I'll blame
Gravity
"Nani?" Takeru blinked. A slight
blush stained his cheeks, "Iie. We'll tell you later, Daisuke-kun." with
that, he sped up his footsteps.
"Takeru-kun!" Hikari called and hurried
after the blonde.
"Well, if they don't want me around,
then I won't bother them." Daisuke said huffily and walked after them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
For always holding out on me
When I just want to run away
It trips me and I fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
Lose responsibility
"Hikari-chan," Takeru asked as he
sat beside his best friend a few days later, "Have you gotten the impression
that Daisuke-kun is avoiding us?"
"Hai.." Hikari said slowly, chewing
her rice and setting down her chopsticks, "I wonder why."
"Hikari-chan, did you tell him...?"
Takeru trailed off, his sapphire eyes wide.
"Iie, Takeru-kun." Hikari said instantly,
"You asked me not to tell him and I didn't."
"Good." Takeru's worry instantly
faded. But, it was soon back again, "How should I tell him?"
"That, I can't help you with, Takeru."
Hikari said, almost sadly, "You have to tell someone you love them on your
own."
"But what if he flips out on me?
I mean, it's not everyday you discover that a friend of your's, whom you've
always assumed to be 'with' a girl, is gay and has a crush on you."
"Daisuke-kun!" Hikari exclaimed.
Ten every time I fail to see
How easy this could be
I can put the blame on gravity
Takeru whirled around to see the
auburn haired boy there, an expression of bewilderment and shock on his
face.
"Kuso." Takeru muttered under his
breath, How much did Daisuke-kun hear?
"Takeru-kun..." Daisuke's eyes were
wide and he backed away from the two, "You....you're..."
"Daisuke, let me explain." Takeru
stood up and advanced.
"Iie. Get away. Get away."
Daisuke said, turning and fleeing as fast as his feet could take him.
"Kuso!" Takeru punched his fist on
the table.
"Takeru-kun..." Hikari said sadly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
You're undeniable
Truly unbelievable
And certainly achievable
If only I could speak my mind
He likes me...no, he loves me...Daisuke
leaned his back against the wall of the courtyard of the school. Takaishi
Takeru....is in love...with me...
"This is so not happening."
he muttered, running a hand through his hair. Takeru is supposed to
like Hikari-chan, not me. He is supposed to be a straight, normal
guy. Not.....gay
Daisuke had always been brought up
to know (or think) that being homosexual was wrong and those who were homosexual
were the damned. But now, to find out that one of his best friends was
one.
Takeru was always there for me...as
a friend, or so I thought...sure, we had that one fight, but we were good
friends through it all. I worried about him a lot, he's one of my best
friends....I really care for him...
Daisuke's mouth widened in an 'o'.
"God, no..." he muttered, looking
up at the perfect, cloudless blue sky, "Did I just admit I like Takaishi
Takeru...as more than a friend?" He buried his head in his hands, "God,
I need someone to talk to."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
But I deliberate
Simple things, I complicate
Then I think it best to wait
It happens to me all the time
"Hai?" Ishida Yamato asked as he
pulled the door open to see Daisuke standing there. "Daisuke-kun? What
are you doing here?'
"Is Takeru home?" Daisuke asked,
somewhat anxiously.
"Iie, gomen." Yamato said, "He's
out with Hikari."
Daisuke relaxed. "Good. I need to
talk with you...about Takeru."
"All right." Yamato looked perplexed,
"Come in. I'll make some cocoa if you want some."
"Hai, please." Daisuke said as he
slipped off his shoes and closed the door behind him.
"So what did you want to talk about
Takeru for?" Yamato asked ten minutes later as he put a mug of steaming
cocoa.
"Well...ummm..." Daisuke fidgeted
nervously. He sighedand rand a hand through his hair, "This is kinda hard
to say...but I think you should know."
"What?" Yamato asked in alarm, "Takeru's
not involved in drugs, is he?"
"Iie! Nothing like that, Yamato-san."
Daisuke said hurridly. He took a deep breath and said in one breath, "Takeru'sinlovewithme."
"What?" Yamato blinked, "Gomen, I
didn't hear you."
"Takeru's in love with me." Daisuke
said quietly.
This is all so hard
Letting down my guard
It's all the same, it's you to
blame
But maybe that's not right
So I'll blame
Gravity
For always holding out on me
When I just want to run away
It trips me and I fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
Lose responsibility
Yamato leaned back in his chair and
took a sip of cocoa. After a while, he responded, "Hai...I knew this...I
was one of the two people he told. The other being Hikari-chan."
"Oh." Daisuke said.
"Is that all?" Yamato asked.
"Iie." Daisuke said quietly, fidgeting
once again.
"You're wondering how this is going
to affect you. How it will change your relationship with him." Yamato said
wisely.
"Hai." Daisuke said, surprised, "How
did you know?"
"Because that's how I felt when I
first started going out with Sora-chan." Yamato's expression softened noticably
at the mention of his girlfriend.
"Oh." Daisuke said.
"Now, back on topic." Yamato said
abruptly, "How do you feel now that you know?"
"Well, I'm not exactly sure." Daisuke
said, "I mean...I'm kinda...well, flattered that he likes me." a
slight blush stained his cheeks.
"Ah, so the affection of my little
brother is a highly prized thing?" Yamato grinned.
Daisuke's blush deepend, "And, well,
I'm not exactly sure how I feel about him."
"What do you mean?" Yamato asked,
once again serious.
"I think..." Daisuke paused and took
a deep breath, "I think I love him too."
Then ever time I fail to see
How easy this could be
I can put the blame on gravity
There is something I must confess
I was happy with loneliness,
oh yeah
"Hmmm...." Yamato mused, sipping
more cocoa in the silence, "Well, then you should tell him."
"I don't think I can..." Daisuke
said quietly, "My first reaction to him was to run away."
"Ah." Yamato nodded.
"Tadaima, niisan!" Takeru's voice
called out as the door opened. The blonde blinked as he saw Daisuke, "Saa....Daisuke-kun,
why are you here?"
"I'll leave you two to talk." Yamato
said, gettign up and putting his mug in the sink. "I've got band practise
anyway." with that, he grabbed his guitar case and left.
"Umm....Takeru....I..." Daisuke said
uneasily.
"You don't have to say anything.
Your reaction in the school cafeteria said it all." Takeru sighed heavily,
"I'm disappointed, but what else could I expect?"
"Takeru..." Daisuke said softly.
Takeru paid him no heed and rambled
on, "You'll have a clear field with Hikari-chan from now on. But promise
me you'll treat her right."
