Disclaimer: I do not own DN Angel, nor any of the characters I'm using in this story. I do not own the song either.
A/N. The song lyrics are from 'Nobody Knows' by Pink. I had the idea for this fic, then this song came up on the music I was playing, and it sort of reminded me of this fic. And yes, I stole the words from the actual manga. I thought it would be better that way.
Warning: Contains boyxboy, shounen-ai. This chapter contains super massive spoilers from volume 12.
Nobody knowsNobody
knows Nobody likes Baby
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could
pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out
from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
no
Nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The
one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think
nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows
No
Oh the
secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I
could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's
gonna be there after the last angel has flown
Satoshi and Daisuke stopped climbing up the tower that held Argentine. After the experience with the water almost drowning them at weakened Satoshi. It had weakened Daisuke too, although he wouldn't admit it. Satoshi and Daisuke were both sat down on the ground. Satoshi stood up. 'I've tried, for a while now, to remain detached from everything I could. To not attach myself to anything or anyone. Because I thought, if I was to attach myself to anything, in the end I'd only fear losing what I'd gained.' Daisuke asked '....What would you lose?' Satoshi answered 'Everyone loses everything they have at some point. You may as well say that people gain something, only to lose it in the end. It's just a matter of time before it happens. However, as for me, I don't have enough time to waste on that sort of thing. I don't have enough time left as it is.' Daisuke asked 'Hiwatari-kun?' Satoshi continued 'The members of my family don't live very long. We're "short lived" in other words. My mother, for example, passed away when she was still very young. And the same will most likely hold true for myself, as well. I don't think I have much longer to live.' Daisuke's eyes widened in shock. Daisuke yelled 'No, what are you trying to say?! Short lived?! You can't mean that, Hiwatari-kun!! Tell me! This is some kind of joke, right?!' Daisuke grabbed the front of Satoshi's shirt, desperate. Satoshi answered simply 'If only I could say that much.' Daisuke released his grip on Satoshi's shirt 'It's a lie.' He said limply. 'Hiwatari-kun, please, tell me you're lying!' he shouted.(1)
Satoshi shook his head slowly. 'I'm afraid not, Niwa.' Daisuke said 'No, you can't die! We have to put an end to Krad once and for all! Though, maybe that means Dark has to go to.' A spasm of sadness crossed Daisuke's face, at the thought of losing Dark, but also at the thought of losing Satoshi. Satoshi said 'You do know there's only one way to get rid of the two of them for good, right? The both of us have to have died without producing any offspring. The only way to get rid of them is to kill ourselves.' Daisuke shook his head furiously. 'That's not the only way!' He shouted. 'We both just have to get our Sacred Maiden, and then Krad and Dark will disappear!' Satoshi said 'That only works for you and Dark.' Daisuke said 'Not necessarily, Hiwatari-kun. If the Niwa's and the Hikari's produce no more offspring, then Krad and Dark will disappear. And there's one way we can do that.' 'Oh yeah?' Satoshi sneered 'What's that?' Daisuke pulled Satoshi too him and kissed him. 'That's how we can get rid of them.' Daisuke answered. Satoshi said 'Daisuke, what are you trying to say?' Daisuke replied 'Riku-san's not my Sacred Maiden, Hiwatari-kun. You are. And if we get together, if you feel the same way I do, we can't produce offspring, so this whole madness with Dark and Krad will be over. The Niwa and Hikari curses will be over, and the families will finally be free.' Satoshi answered 'I vowed never to get close to anybody, Niwa. When everything's made to be broken, I try not to get to close to anyone. But it's different with you. I just want you to know who I am. I say I don't want to get close to anyone, but here is the moment of truth in my lies.'
Satoshi took a deep breath and said 'I didn't want to get close to you. I didn't want to fall in love with you. But I have. I love you too, Niwa.' Daisuke smiled 'Thank you, Hiwatari-kun. It's never been Riku-san, it's always been you.' Daisuke slowly advanced towards Satoshi. He carefully pressed his lips against Satoshi's. He felt Satoshi's arms slip around his neck, and Daisuke wrapped his arms around Satoshi's waist. Satoshi wound his fingers tightly and Daisuke's hair and pressed urgently against his lips, licking his bottom lip. Daisuke moaned and opened his mouth. Satoshi pushed his tongue into Daisuke's mouth, tongues merging together. Satoshi pulled away from Daisuke 'I tried to keep away from you, but it's just too hard. I can't do it anymore.' Daisuke nodded 'Now I've tasted you, I couldn't leave you alone either. You taste good too, Hiwatari-kun. Kind of bittersweet. Like berries. It's delicious. And just how I'd imagine you tasted.' Satoshi smiled 'You taste sweet, Niwa. Like strawberries dipped in chocolate. It's just like you.' Daisuke smiled and buried his head in Satoshi's shoulder. Satoshi said 'Now, don't we have a damsel in distress to rescue? Come on, Niwa.' Daisuke lifted his head and grabbed Satoshi's hand. 'Yes, Hiwatari-kun, let's go.' Daisuke smiled warmly, and Satoshi realised he would go to the end of the Earth and back, just to see Daisuke smile.
A/N. (1) Here is where I stopped following the manga. From the end of this fic onwards, it will be my own storyline. There will be no more parts from the manga after this chapter.
