Just after 'Chasing After You'.
Never say sorry for what you mean to do.
Satoshi watched as Daisuke tried to catch his breath, stunned. Niwa had run after him? Even though he'd kissed him? Satoshi winced inwardly. That's why he ran after him. He wanted an explanation, an apology. Well, if that's what he wanted, Satoshi would give it to him.
"Look," he started. "Niwa, I didn't mean-"
"Don't."
Satoshi blinked at the other boy.
"Just don't." Daisuke had recovered, for the most part. His face was still flushed and his breathing slightly erratic, but he could talk without gasping. "Don't say you didn't mean to. I know you did."
There were no words that Satoshi could say to that. For all his intellect and verbal repertoire, Satoshi Hiwatari was rendered speechless.
"Huh," was the only thing he was capable of.
Daisuke rolled his eyes. "I'm not entirely stupid, you know. I can read emotions and stuff, so I know that you're lying when you say you didn't mean it. So please don't lie to me. Okay?"
Satoshi could only nod dumbly. Where was the bumbling, sweet-spoken Daisuke he used to know? He guessed that living with Dark in your head could change a person.
A smile lit up Daisuke's face. "Good." He suddenly grew very serious. "Now, Hiwatari-kun. Why did you kiss me?"
Satoshi almost laughed at that. Obviously his Daisuke was still there. He may claim to be able to read people, but he was still naïve.
