Chapter 1 – Matte 待って.

"Kyu!"

A soft noise slowly pulled Daisuke from his sleep, and he rolled over with a groan to find himself face-to-face with Dark's small lop-eared sidekick, With.

"Kyu, kyuuu" With continued, throwing a paw in the direction of the window where the sun was already high in the sky. Daisuke followed the direction With was pointing and stared for a moment before his eyes flew wide and he jumped out of bed with a yelp.

"I'm going to be late!" He exclaimed, landing on the floor below in a crouch with ease. Quickly changing into his red and white school uniform, Daisuke slung his school bag over one shoulder and ran down the stairs two at a time.

"Oh, Dai-chan! I made breakfast!" Emiko called from the kitchen, and Daisuke ran toward his mother with a sigh.

"I'm already going to be late, can't stay for breakfast." Grabbing a piece of toast from the table, he stuck one corner of it into his mouth and ran out the door.

"Be sure to be home by 5:36 and twenty three seconds!" Emiko yelled after him, and Daisuke winced as he ran down the street toward the train stop. He knew why his mother had insisted on a time, she must have sent out another notice to the police. As if life wasn't difficult enough with Risa going on about Dark all day, and Satoshi running into him at every free moment of the day. Running down the winding streets of the city, Daisuke finally found his way to the train stop and boarded just in time.

With a sigh of relief, Daisuke sat down and stared out the window as the train moved up the track toward the main square stop. He lost himself in his thoughts for the duration of the train ride and was only pulled back by the announcement that they had reached the last stop. Hopping off of the train, he ran up the stairs and toward the school. Making it into the classroom with a couple of minutes to spare, Daisuke slumped down at his desk and dropped his bag beside his chair. Catching his breath slowly, Daisuke hardly noticed as a shadow came over him and it took all of his effort to look up toward the offending person. As Satoshi came into view, Daisuke sat up abruptly.

"Good morning, Hiwatari-kun." Without so much as a greeting, Satoshi coldly replied. "You have cleaning duty in the art room after school, don't be late." Daisuke nodded, but Satoshi had already turned and walked away. The lessons of the day flew by rather quickly after that, but over the course of the day Daisuke found his mind wandering to Satoshi and his cleaning duties, as well as to the theft he would commit later in the evening. Luckily the day went by rather quickly, and soon enough it was over and everyone was packing up their things. Retrieving his bag from beside his desk, Daisuke mindlessly walked out of the room and down the hall to the art room where he found Satoshi leaning against the wall next to the door.

"You're late." Satoshi growled, and Daisuke winced before using his key card to unlock the door. Satoshi walked in before him and Daisuke closely followed, letting the door close behind them. The lights were off, and Satoshi was standing near the center of the room staring back at Daisuke with slightly narrowed eyes. After a few moments Daisuke blushed and flipped the light switch to on only to be confused by what he saw. The art room was completely clean and Satoshi was standing with his arms crossed simply staring at Daisuke.

"H-h-hiwatari-kun?" Daisuke stuttered, lingering near the door as a safety. He could never tell when Satoshi had Krad in control, and being alone in a room with him was rather dangerous.

DaisukeDark's voice suddenly sounded in his head. Get out of here, I don't trust him.

Daisuke frowned and stood still, not knowing what to say. Then after a moment he replied, It's Krad you don't trust, not Satoshi-kun. Besides, I'm on cleaning duty I have no choice. There was an incredulous pause before Dark blurted out,

You idiot, he told you that to get you to come here, it's all a big trap. Despite evidence toward that fact, Daisuke was loathe to admit he'd walked right into a trap and ignored Dark's suggestion to leave.

Wait, Satoshi-kun? Since when were you on such friendly terms with the enemy? Completely ignoring Dark's comment, though blushing profusely, Daisuke called to Satoshi again.

"Hiwatari-kun? Is something wrong?" Satoshi shook his head lightly and turned to walk to a far corner of the room where a stack of boxes separated it from the entrance.

"Are you done arguing? Come help me." The boy commented coldly, not even waiting for an answer. Daisuke blushed a deeper shade of red and followed Satoshi without question, though Dark mentally berated him for it. When he finally reached the other side of the room where Satoshi waited, Daisuke walked right up to a stack of boxes and prepared to move them for he was sure that was what Satoshi had in mind. However, just as Daisuke was about to pick up a stack Satoshi advanced on him and effectively pinned him into the corner.

Daisuke's heart began pounding in his chest and he looked quickly for an exit but found himself pinned between a wall of boxes and a cement wall, with Satoshi blocking the only exit. As Satoshi advanced on him, Daisuke took a couple more steps backward away from him, but soon enough he ran out of space. Satoshi advanced until they were nearly nose-to-nose, and he placed a palm against the wall on either side of Daisuke's head. The red-haired boy's heart was pounding so hard in his chest he was sure Satoshi would be able to feel it reverberating in the wall behind him. Satoshi was as calm and collected as always, and seemed not to notice Daisuke's panic though it was clearly evident in his wide crimson eyes.

"H-hiwatari-kun?" Daisuke attempted to voice, though it came out as little more than a whisper. Without warning, Satoshi leaned forward and closed the remaining distance between himself and Daisuke, pressing his lips tenderly against those of the now very shocked Daisuke. His crimson eyes flew wide, and the first thing he attempted was to throw himself backward out of reach. However, doing so only resulted in him knocking his head into the wall and dazing him for a moment. Taking advantage of Daisuke's momentary helplessness, Satoshi closed the distance between their bodies until Daisuke was pressed firmly between the wall and Satoshi. Daisuke struggled momentarily, but soon his emotions took control and he felt his eyes fluttering closed of their own accord. To even his own surprise, he found his tensed muscles relaxing and his lips moving very slightly against Satoshi's.

AHH, Daisuke, get him off! Dark suddenly commented, mentally receding as far away from Daisuke's consciousness as he could.

But… Daisuke weakly replied, his mind obviously elsewhere. But this feels… so good. Satoshi slowly pulled back, his eyes lidded with ill-concealed lust, and Daisuke's shortness of breath caused his chest to heave slightly between them as he attempted to regain it.

"Sa—… Satoshi-kun." Daisuke's wide, innocent eyes stared forward at the blue-haired boy, still shocked and dazed. Satoshi blinked a few times, staring at the wall beside Daisuke's head instead of at Daisuke himself. He opened his mouth as if he were about to reply but no sound came. Instead he pulled his hands away from the wall and backed up a few steps to stare at Daisuke for a moment before turning and running out of the art room. "Satoshi-kun! Matte!" Daisuke called, but he was already long gone.

(Author's Note:

Matte /待って–Wait.

I know this is something completely different from what I usually do, but I really got into the anime DNAngel and I just had to write a fanfic about it.

I'm working on the second chapter, so it probably wont be long before I update. Reviews and constructive criticism are appreciated. Flaming will be promptly ignored.

Oh and, if there are any questions about japanese words I use throughout the story feel free to ask. And if I completely messed up the kanji/hiragana and you know this, I'm sorry xx;; I'm attempting to learn. If you know how to type it correctly, I would love to be corrected. Ok enough rambling from me xD )
