Love potions
Pairing: Dark and Daisuke
Dedication: … to everyone who's reviewed so far! I love yooou!
Note: Though I'm working on a request from Feathery Fear, this is what comes out of boredom. I was babysitting one night and the kids had gone to bed, the TV was broken… and this is what I did to keep myself awake. Sorry! I hope you enjoy it, despite the OOC-ness and bad plot!

Daisuke rounded a corner, every step seemed like a huge effort. He'd barely got any sleep last night, thanks to a fight with Satoshi. Dark had insisted on stealing this one sculpture, he didn't even have to be told twice by Emiko.
The redhead fumbled with his keys as he leant against the door. School had been a mistake today, and now it just meant more work for tonight.
After practically crawling up the stairs to his room, he flopped down on a chair, moaning in exhaustion as he thought about all the homework he had to get done by tomorrow.
"So not fair…" He said more to himself than to anyone else.
A reply shot back at him all the same, "It's your fault for not getting all of it done last night," Dark tutted comically, smirking as he did so.
"No!" Daisuke shook his head defiantly, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't had to steal that sculpture last night, I would have been able to get it done!"
"That sculpture was a real danger, that's why we had to get it before that Creep found out what it could do." Dark explained tiredly as if for the hundredth time.
"Still doesn't make the homework go away…" Daisuke pouted rather adorably, Dark thought. Dark cleared the thought from his head, knowing how easy their thoughts entwined. Dark didn't want any thoughts breeching the small barrier between him and Daisuke – he didn't actually realise how close they were until he wanted to conceal a thought from Daisuke.
Daisuke glanced around at the multitude of school books that were now spread across the small desk the redhead was sitting at. Where to start? There was so much to do… it probably meant another night of no sleep. "I guess it would be if it wasn't a Wednesday. Wednesday just means three more days of school after it."
"That's a nice, positive view of the world around you," Dark commented dryly.
"I just don't know how I'm gunna keep myself awake through double maths tomorrow," He whined pitifully.
"I could always take over for you tomorrow, I'd even do your homework if you let me out tomorrow. I don't get much time for myself, y'know… It's either stealing something, getting molested by that blue-haired Creep or caged up," Dark mused, "I'm sure all the girls would be very pleased that you turned into a wonderful, handsome, dashing, charming – "
Dark was cut short by Daisuke's cough, "Oh yeah? And what would you tell all of them? That I was replaced by the Phantom Dark?"
Dark sniggered, "No, I'd just tell them that I was the post-puberty-Daisuke."
The redhead rolled his eyes, slightly offended, but not willing to make anything out of the flyaway comment. He was too tired for anything too active.
"Hey Dark," Daisuke asked, "What did we actually steal last night?"
Dark smirked, "That's for me to know and you to find out."
"That has to be the most annoying phrase ever!"
"No," Dark thought for a second, "I could come up with worse."
"I'll forgive you for the amount of homework if you tell me what you stole that was so important!" Daisuke moaned pitifully.
"As I said, that's for me to know and you – "
"Dark!"
"Fine, fine. Why do you want to know all of a sudden, anyway?" Dark questioned, "It's not like you've taken the greatest interest in any of the other pieces of art I've saved."
"Have too!" Daisuke paused, "So what is it? Why were you so uptight about getting it away from Satoshi?"
"You know I hate that Creep. He practically tried to rape me the first time he saw me," Dark said casually. "I wouldn't want that Creep to get his hands on any of the art I want."
"But why were you so focused on getting this one?"
"Because I think it's special… And don't you have homework to do?"
Daisuke bit his lip, torn between interrogating Dark further and starting on his looming homework. "Homework can wait a few more minutes…"
"I know talking to me is oh so captivating, but you really should get on with your homework."
"Since when do you tell me to do my homework?" Daisuke asked gently, genuinely perturbed as to why Dark was acting so maturely. Usually the angel was the one distracting him from it.
"I've had an epiphany… I've realised I'm the older and more mature boy here."
"You sure are, old man!" Daisuke giggled.
Dark was silent for a few minutes. Daisuke hesitated slightly; he hadn't meant to offend his other side.
"So, what was the sculpture's power then?" Daisuke smiled at the window, drawing the attention away from the touchy subject. Daisuke almost burst out in giggles again, he found it so funny that Dark was sensitive about his age.
"Inside that sculpture was a drink…" Dark tried to explain, "A love potion, I guess. It could be very dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands." Dark said in a serious manner.
"A love potion?" Daisuke repeated, "Is that even possible?"
Dark sighed. "The drink basically sets off a million happy chemicals in your brain, it stimulates your body and because it's 'magic', it makes you think you're totally in love… which leaves you totally incapable and at the will of whoever was in your thoughts at the time of consumption." Dark sounded just like he was reading out from a text book, his tone was very dull.
"Wow," Daisuke sat back in his chair, impressed, "I didn't know that love potions were real…" He lapsed back into his own thoughts, "I guess I see why you wanted it so badly now."
"What?!" Dark scoffed, "I have no trouble whatsoever getting people to fall head over heels with me already, I don't need any type of potion to do it for me!" Dark rambled, "And I only wanted it because otherwise that Creep would have it, and who knows what sort of perverted things he'd use the potion for!"
"But it was a sculpture… not a bottle or anything…" Daisuke pictured the abstract sculpture in his head.
"The bottle's inside the sculpture, stupid."
"But… you can't make someone fall in love by getting them to drink something… how do even know if it works…?" Daisuke asked, still a little confused as to whether or not this was true. It was just like Dark to make something up like this.
"It's 'magic', of course it works!" Dark exclaimed, obviously offended that his tamer didn't have full faith in him.
"Do they still think their own thoughts and stuff?" Daisuke ran a hand through his hair absent mindedly.
"Yes, they still have a brain!" Dark said sarcastically.
Dark could be so childish sometimes.
"But how does it work? It can't make someone fall in love with you, can it?"
"It builds on feelings of friendship or admiration that's already there, and it triggers off loads of chemicals in your head whenever you're near the person, so you're always really happy around them, and it makes you feel as if you're genuinely in love." Dark took a huge breath, "Do I need to say anymore?"
Daisuke shrugged, "I just don't think that a potion could make someone do that…"
Dark sighed childishly, "Fine, don't believe me."
"It's not that I didn't believe you, it's just that…" Daisuke trailed off, looking around the room and then flinching in surprise as he saw a very real Dark there. "Dark?"
The purple haired teenager rolled his eyes. Daisuke reached out and touched him on his arm, oblivious to the fact that Dark tensed at his gentle touch.
"Hey, how is this possible? I thought we shared a body…?"
"Stop questioning things! I just got sick of being stuck in the back of your mind, that's all!"
Daisuke smiled, "What is it with you and questions?"
Dark pouted and looked away, flopping down on the bed, "It's just… I don't like it when people don't believe me."
Daisuke chuckled, which then brought another frown to Dark's face.
"It's not that I don't believe you – it's just that it's a little hard to get my head around the fact that we can be in two bodies."
"No, not about that," Dark laid back on the bed, sighing, "The love potion thing!"
Daisuke
couldn't hold in another laughing fit. Since when was Dark so
childish? Not in a bad way, of course. It was kind of endearing, but
just a big difference from the smooth ladies-man that was usually on
show. Daisuke felt a little pleased that it was probably just him
that ever saw this slightly immature, defensive side.
Dark looked
positively outraged at Daisuke laughing away, almost falling out of
his chair. "Fine, fine! You wanna see if it works? Fine!"
Dark marched over to Daisuke, who was now deathly silent, pulling out a little vial and unscrewing the lid.
"Dark, what's that? C'mon, I was just kidding…" Daisuke tried to stand up and back away from the angry thief, but Dark pushed him back down into the chair with surprising force. They were very close together now, closer than each of them would have liked, with Dark standing above the seated Daisuke.
Daisuke was a little shaken – even if he didn't think it was possible, he still didn't like the thought of an ancient, unknown liquid being forced down his throat.
Daisuke felt Dark's hands on his cheeks, opening his mouth, "No, Dark, stop, I believe you –" He was cut off in mid-speech by something being pushed against his lips. A sweet tasting liquid was swirling around his mouth. It tasted sort of like honey.
He chocked, but couldn't help himself swallowing. It was just so nice, the taste combined with the smell of the over powering liquid… he couldn't help himself.
"Dark!" Daisuke pulled away from Dark's death grip. Confusion and fear were apparent on the redhead's face.
It was Dark's turn to laugh now.
It was then that Daisuke suddenly became very aware of his surroundings, it was like his senses had been enhanced. The breeze was cooling him as it filtered through the window lazily, he was sitting in a chair, his forgotten homework strewn across the desk and Dark was standing above him. A determined expression across his face.
Daisuke's mind was running wild. What was going on? Confusion, confusion, confusion. What on earth…? That was the love potion, right? Was it working? What on earth was going on? He tried to separate his feelings from one another, but it was useless.
Dark was smirking, "Who were you thinking of?"
Daisuke closed his eyes, attempting to calm the turmoil in his head, "What?"
"Who were you thinking of when you drank it?" Dark grinned, "Is it working?"
"What?" Daisuke said again, opening his eyes in vague annoyance – Dark had no right to force him to drink this strange substance.
He looked up to the angel standing above him – wait – Daisuke was sprawled across the floor, how did he end up here? – he looked into Dark's eyes and felt his whole world jump. His heart was pounding so fast it was unbearable – adrenalin was coursing through his veins as he tried to stand. Dark looked… very different, to say the least.
Well… not different, but… it was like Daisuke was seeing him in a new light. It was difficult to explain – it was the same old Dark, these were his own feelings – the only difference was… every thing concerning Dark had been enhanced.
Dark was close to laughing.
Daisuke felt himself blush – since when had Dark's smile affected him so much? His heart was beating so fast…
"Do you believe me now?"
"What?"
"The potion…" Dark stepped back, a different emotion flashing across his open face; concern.
Daisuke had felt like this only a few times in his life. It hadn't happened in ages, so it was a huge shock. He didn't know how to handle it. It was all Daisuke wanted to pull the taller boy into an embrace, but… he couldn't do that, could he?
No – it was Dark. It was the potion, wasn't it? Yes – of course. The potion. The potion's fault. Dark's fault.
He chanced a look at Dark again, with the intention of yelling at him for pouring this weird substance down his neck, but all thoughts of yelling faded away.
"Daisuke, are you okay?"
Daisuke blinked, then nodded. "What's going on?" He asked weakly.
He knew what was going on; the potion was making him think crazy. But he needed to know what Dark planned to do about it – he must have known that he'd be thinking about Dark, and Dark wasn't stupid…
Daisuke took a step forwards without meaning to – he couldn't control it… he didn't know what was happening, he didn't like being this defenceless, he didn't like not knowing what was going on inside his head… everything was going round too fast to make head or tail of it. Too confusing.
Dark laughed.
Daisuke watched Dark's lips move as he talked, without really listening to anything he said – no doubt it would be something sarcastic… but he didn't care right now.
He just felt so damn happy! Why was he so happy all of a sudden? Daisuke refused to believe that it was because he'd just seen Dark smile. No, anything but that. Uh huh.
This was crazy! A potion couldn't make him do this, could it? That had been what Dark was trying to prove… Oh God…
Before Daisuke could stop himself, Daisuke had his arms wrapped around Dark's sides, head against Dark's chest.
Daisuke listened to Dark's heartbeat… was it speeding up? No, it couldn't be.
He felt strong arms pull him closer.
Daisuke blushed, the strange happy feeling had just intensified. The odd sweet smelling honey scent was back, making him lightheaded. It was over whelming… he wasn't sure what, exactly, was over whelming – the smell? Being hugged by Dark? Something along those lines.
Before he could regain control, Daisuke pulled away slightly and captured Dark's lips in an intimate kiss that was returned with as much feeling as Daisuke's.
It felt so damn right, he was positive that no potion could ever do this.
-
Daisuke's raging mind had calmed down a little now, and he could see clearly. He could think without a haze of lust or confusion clouding his vision. He could see now, as he lay next to a sleeping Dark, that these were his own feelings, just doubled.
He could see that now.
He'd probably feel embarrassed when the potion wore off, but he couldn't care less.
For now, he was just content with staring at the sleeping Dark.
