Tom Tom's

Over the next two weeks Satoshi practically lived at the Niwa's house. He was there form three to eight sometimes nine. And he would put Little Satoshi to sleep and every night he had to nearly catch the very tired Daisuke before he passed out form exhaustion. They began to relied on Satoshi more and more and blue hair man loved that he was a person they could lean on. It made him part of the family and did so wish to be part of it.

It was dark out side due to the storm that came out of no where. Little Satoshi and Satoshi where curled up on the sofa watching Aladdin snacking on some chips. Not wanting to relive the cooking accident. Satoshi's hand was still in band aids covering it.

Then a tremendous thunder erupted form the sky and all went black. Little Satoshi clung to Satoshi's button shirt in fright. Satoshi petted the boys soft hair and assured him it was just the storm and the power had gone out. He then scooped up the tiny quivering boy in his arms and went off to go find the circuit box. A flash of lighting made the boy hide his face in his shoulder he was trying not to cry. Satoshi tired to clam him down. On the way they found a flash light and he gave the duty of holding it to Little Satoshi. He could see that holding the flashlight made him feel safer. When they got to the circuit box it was no use the whole block was out. There new mission was to find candles and some matches. They found three lit them and told sorties to each other. Every once and a while lighting would strike making the boy yelp in fright and cower by him.

Satoshi tucked Little Satoshi in said his goodnight he was about to get up if the tiny hand that held on his sleeve didn't keep him anchored. He looked back over to the brunet he was shaking his head no.

"It's ok the storm will be over soon don't worry"

"Don't go"

"Ok I'll sit right here instill you fall asleep is that ok with you"

"Yes" the boy yawned. Then asked "Can we go to the fair?"

He wasn't a fan of the fair cause the crowds of it all but then again every time he went. He went with people that he hated. It might be so bad to go with him "Sure we can go"

"Can you ask Daddy to go with us?"

"Why don't you ask him"

"Cause he won't go he'll say he's too busy and won't go but if you ask he'll go"

"Why would me ask make it any different"

"Cause you're a grown up and he likes you"

Likes him? How should he take that? He took away the thought of course he likes him as a friend noting more. "Fine I'll ask him"

He listened to Little Satoshi's breathing grow more steady and slow tell him he was asleep. Satoshi got up quietly not to wake him. When he step out to the pitch dark room. the candles light was gone Satoshi blew them out to save them for later. As he walked out into the living room he bumped into something cold and wet.

"Ah!" the thing stepped back.

Satoshi clicked on his flash light into the eyes of the owner of the house.

Ah!" What's with the light!" Daisuke wined.

Satoshi clicked it off "Sorry Niwa"

"Oh its you Hiwatari. Why is all dark?"

"Power out due the storm why are you all wet?"

"I didn't have umbrella. How did things go ?"

"Fine your son was sacred from the thunder"

"Yah I know but aren't all little kids? Is he ok now?"

"Yes he's a sleep"

Silence

"You know how weird this is I can't see you and were talking like we can" chuckled Daisuke. "By the way. Why do you always say your son not his name is it cause it too confusing for its your name also?"

"I do call him by his name well not by his name I call him Little Satoshi"

"Aw that's cute I should of made that his real name but then he would grow up and not be little any more."

Silence came back over them. Then the lights came back on. It blind the two men. "Ah, Ow!"

After many blinks Satoshi could see Daisuke he was soaked to the bone. His hair was dripping wet. His eyes we dull showing his fatigue in them. He looked like a abandon kitty the ones in the cardboard boxes on the side of the streets.

"Um Niwa you should change out of those wet clothes"

He looked at him self as if he just noticed. "Wow I'm a mess huh" He goofed as he walked to his room. Satoshi sat down on the sofa and looked out the window. It was coming down hard he didn't want to call Walter to come pick him. He didn't want to put him in danger. But he didn't want to be a bother to Daisuke. When the red head came back he was in a thin long white sleeve shirt. And grey sweat pants. A towel was around his neck to dry his hair. He pointed to the coffee machine "Would you like some coffee?"

"Shouldn't you go to bed"

"I can't I have work in little less than an hour"

"What? You just came back form work"

"Yah well you know you need money to pay the bills" He said as he poured the coffee in the coffee in the machine.

Satoshi walked over and sat at the bar. " Where do you work?"

"Right now I'm a waiter at this restaurant during the day and at night I work at a bar"

"What restaurant?"

"Chilies" he added the water

"What bar?"

"….."

" Something wrong?"

"Promise not to laugh"

"Not this again"

"Promise!"

"Did I last time?"

"Well no you didn't but this is different!" he turned it on to begin process of coffee making

"So"

"Well I'm not really so sure. I only been working there for about three months but I sneaky suspicion that it's a gay club."

"A suspicion? It either is or not Niwa. You still don't know after a three months?"

"Well I never been to a gay bar so I don't know but the only couples that come are the same sexes and think some of the men there hit on me while I'm working."

Hearing that other men had there eyes on his Daisuke made his knuckles go white.

"So what are you doing working in a gay bar?"

"I didn't know it was gay wait I still don't know! And well I need as much work as I can and it pays well and I'm homophobic or anything so its all good and everyone really nice to me there always telling me to bring Satoshi back I had to take him to work with me once and they could not stop fawning over him."

"What this bar called?"

"Tom Tom's"

"Yah it's gay"

Daisuke's eyes went wide and buried them in his face embarrassed "No one wonder why my son would set me up with a blind date with you. He thinks I'm gay!"

"Or at least bi"

Daisuke looked up at him then laughed. Satoshi joined in. When the coffee was done they sipped it in silence enjoying each other's company. The storm's rain had let up. They listen to the soft patter of he ran hitting the windows. When they had finished Daisuke went into the other room to change into his uniform for work. While Satoshi washed the dishes. When he came back he was wearing a different polo shirt. It clung to him loosely the rims and collar where dark purple. A tiny logo with the words Tom Tom's on the right corner. His shirt was tucked in his black jeans. His black belt was hooked in its own whole made by the owner showing just how skinny he was.

"Well I'm off wish me luck you can say here for the night I know it late and your driver might not want to come."

"I think I'll come with you"

"What?"

"I want to see where you work"

"But Hiwatari it's a gay bar you sure you'll be ok?"

"Yes Niwa I been in one before it's the same thing with a straight bar expect there are only the same sex"

"What where you doing in a gay bar?"

"A co-worker form my work drag me to on to celebrate his promotion"

"He's gay?"

"Oh yah he makes passes at me all the time"

"I don't blame him" he said as he open the umbrella.

"What?" he asked he heard it he just wanted to make sure he heard it rigth.

"Nothing" blushed Daisuke as he waited for Satoshi to get under the umbrella. Satoshi closed the door behind him the red head gestured to lock that door. So he did and off they went on the way Satoshi tried to figure out what Daisuke meant by I don't blame him...

They reached the bar it's neon light sign burned Tom Tom's the place jumped with music coming form within. They stepped in. It was busy but not as busy as it usually was Daisuke told him. He found Satoshi a nice seat and said his goodbye then ran off behind the bar put on his waist apron. He was about to make his rounds on his tables when he ran into Rob, Joey, and Tom. They where all fairly young Tom was probably the oldest he had blond hair under his signature hat that read Tom Tom's. While Rob and Joey both had brown Joey's was streaked with blond highlights though and Rob hair was a bit long and he wore it in a tiny pony tail. "Who's that hot stud you brought in with you?" asked Rob pointing at Satoshi

"Oh that's Hiwatari he baby-sits Satoshi while I work"

"What a lucky kid a loving father and a hot baby-sitter what more could you ask for" envied Tom.

"I bet he would look better without the glasses" sighed Joey.

"I bet he looks better with nothing on" said Rob.

They gave a "Mmmhmmm" in agreement as they eyed blue hair man.

Daisuke's jaw drop. How could he not know that they where gay.
