(Daisuke's POV)
I stumbled down the street, tears blurring my vision. Mom had lost it at me, and now I just couldn't stay in the house. But where could I go? Definitely not the Harada's, and Takeshi would probably punch me, as usual, and I'm just not in the mood right now. Satoshi! He didn't live far from here, and I don't think he would kick me out. I made my way, rather blindly, to Satoshi's apartment complex and hit the buzzer to his apartment. Damn, it was dark tonight.
"Hello?" A voice cracked over the intercom.
"Hiwatari-kun? It's Daisuke. Can I please come in?" I desperately tried to dry the tears from my eyes.
BUZZZ. I entered the building and made my way to Satoshi's apartment.
"Niwa, what're you here for?" Satoshi asked, opening his door in response to my knock.
"I-I had a f-fight with m-my mom, and I n-need somewhere t-to g-go tonight... can I s-stay here?" I hiccuped out the sentence.
After a moment, Satoshi stepped back and allowed me to enter his apartment.
"T-thank you..." I stuttered and entered the room. His apartment was spacious and the walls were a color similar to his hair. Satoshi shrugged and nodded.
"What happened?" He asked, a little too icily.
Despite his tone, everything came pouring out. I couldn't help it. For the next hour, Satoshi listened to my ramblings. I felt bad for dumping on him, but I couldn't seem to stop.
When I had finished, he looked at me, then pointed to the bed. "Go to sleep. You need rest." He didn't comment on my ramblings, or offer any comfort. Just 'go to sleep'. Well, what did I expect from Satoshi? I slowly got up and walked to the bed, then collapsed on it. Somehow, I couldn't seem to fall asleep.
A few minutes later, Satoshi asked, "Can't sleep?" I nodded, then was surprised at what he did next. He began to sing a quiet song that, though I had never heard before, was comforting, and I was soon lulled into a peaceful slumber.
(Satoshi's POV)
It was dark. It almost seemed like the sun would never rise again. I stared out the window, vacantly. I didn't totally know what to do. I glanced over my shoulder at the sleeping boy on my bed. Daisuke had come to me earlier. He had had a fight with his mother, which was strange for Daisuke, and needed somewhere to crash. I had allowed him to stay the night, and even allowed him to have the bed. But now I was stuck. I couldn't sleep knowing that the boy I had loved for so long was sleeping in my apartment, in my bed. And I was worried about when Daisuke woke up. The red- head had been so distraught, and I hadn't known how to comfort him. All I could do was sing that old song I knew. I felt like the sky outside. Dark, lifeless, and all around useless.
I moved away from the window, and went over to sit on the bed next to Daisuke's sleeping form. Why couldn't he be mine? I wished it. I wished for it every day. I wished I could protect him from the world, and hold him, and take away his pain. But I couldn't, and that hurt. Then he began to stir, and opened his crimson orbs to stare at me. "S-satoshi?"
"Yes?" I asked, trying to sound as gentle as possible.
"Thank you." He said.
"You can stay here anytime you need to, Daisuke. I'm sorry I was so cold yesterday, I didn't know what to say..." I didn't know how to apologize correctly.
"It's alright, Satoshi. You were here to listen to me when I needed you most. That's all I ask for. Thank you so much." Daisuke smiled at me.
"Anytime..." I murmured, wanting to kiss him.
Suddenly he sat up and pressed his lips to mine. I was shocked, and noticed, that as he did this, the sun began to rise, just like the light in my heart. I guess the darkest nights turn into the brightest sunrises...
