Chapter 9:
A/N: I apologize yet again for the obscenely slow update, but anywho, enjoy!
Dark's POV:
It was noon now, and the temperature was getting colder, Daisuke was especially sensitive to the frigid air, and bundled up in a blanket. He looked ridiculously funny as he walked around with the blanket around him.
But even though I constantly teased him (jokingly of course), he was so so sweet to cook some hot, delicious soup for me. Aww Daisuke, you are so cute, I love you to bits!
"It's the least I can do, Dark," Daisuke had said.
I wanted to cook something for him too, but I didn't have much confidence when it came to cooking.
Daisuke then decided to go finish up on his latest fan fiction (it was hard for him since his fingers wouldn't stop shivering while he typed. Poor guy). I then wanted to take a nap, but my cell phone emitted a beeping sound, and I knew that I'd just received a text message, which was from Risa.
"To my dearest friend Dark, first off, I just got the photos from Takeshi, I'll be sending you and Daisuke a copy of them soon. Anyways I consultedmy tarot cards and they said that today is an excellent opportunity to throw a party. And I'm inviting you to come to it at 6 o'clock sharp tonight. You AND Daisuke of course. We'll be looking forward to you coming."
A party? That was a bit strange, but I though, what the heck? Daisuke and I were as sure as hell to have fun there. The twin's mansion was more than just a house, it had a pool, a Jacuzzi, a tennis court, a library, a bowling alley, a movie room and even a small concert hall! All of that packed into one, ain't that awesome?
I put away my cellphone, and was surprised to find a cute little red head lying on my chest. I grinned and pulled him ever so closer. I kissed him on the forehead, "Daisuke, you done with your fanfic?"
Daisuke's head tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable position, "Umm yeah, I'm more or less finished with the last chapter, I'll let you read it once I'm done okay?"
I chuckled in delight as I stroke Daisuke's fuzzy red hair and said, "Sure Daisuke, I'd love to. By the way, Risa sent me a text message and we're going to a party tonight."
"A party? That sounds fun," said Daisuke excitedly."
"Yeah we leave at 5 and a half, the part starts at 6. Oh and Daisuke, remember to wear warm clothes, I don't want you to catch a cold." I then added, "I don't mind taking care of you, but I really hate to see you suffer."
Daisuke suddenly stared at me, crimson eyes looking straight at me; his expression was calm with a tin of surprise.
"Umm Daisuke…are you all right??"
That broke him out of his trance, and then he said, "Huh? Oh, nothing, err I'm fine, hehe. Thanks for caring Dark." He surprised me even more when he crawled up my body to give me a kiss, I smiled and hugged him tighter.
"Say Dark," said Daisuke suddenly, "Why is it that whenever something is up, people tell you and not me?" His tone was that of a curious person.
I then pondered that for a while, then said, "Probably because I'm the man of this relationship."
Daisuke was obviously puzzled, "What do you mean by that?!"
"Well it means that I'm the seme and you're the uke."
"What?!"
"Well did you expect something else? Who do you think will be the top or bottom when we make love? And besides…your name just screams uke, DaisUKE."
Finally Daisuke understood, "Point taken, I get it now……" Both of us then laughed happily.
Daisuke's POV:
After our afternoon nap, Dark and I hastily went to choose our clothes. I was still a bit tired but I didn't want to miss the party. I slipped into my winter wear like Dark reminded me to, while he opted for a black trench coat. He looked downright sexy!!
"And you look drop dead adorable, my little angel," said Dark when he saw me admiring him. I couldn't help but blush, I still wasn't used to his cute comments.
Dark looked at me teasingly, but then took me into his arms, locking lips with me passionately. I tasted him feverishly, each of us moaning loudly as I clung to his neck.
We broke away from the kiss when we needed air, and I could felt his hot breath as he whispered huskily into my ear, "Daisuke, tell me immediately when you're ready, I want you so badly." I blushed furiously this time. I mean come one, he was frikkin hot!!
Before we left, I wore the special pendant that almost never left me. It was a family heirloom, given to me by mom when I was but a small child. It was extremely precious to me, and I dared not think what would happen if I were to lose it. The jewel was a crimson ruby, and it had a mystical property. The gem's color would change to whatever color the wearer's eyes.
"Come one Dai," said Dark as we started to leave, after locking the door, I ran up to him and clung to him affectionately. When we were outside, snow was still falling delicately fro the sky. Kids were building snowmen, some banded together to build simple snow castles, and numerous other kids were having a snowball fight.
We trod through the blanket of snow carefully, taking caution not to accidentally step on the kids who were making snow angels. Suddenly I felt something brush against my leg, and I looked back to see a brunette running up to me.
"Sorry about that, my bad," the small kid apologized once more when he was nearer. I knelt down and passed the ball to him, patting him on the head, "It's okay, just be careful next time."
The boy smiled and nodded, he was a cute kid, and awfully polite too, (much to Dark's annoyance, he kept glaring at the kid…Aww my Dark is jealous).
The kid then flashed a question that caught me completely off guard, "Hey, are you two a couple or something?"
I half heartedly want to lie, but then I realized that it would be wrong and disrespectful towards Dark. Instead I beamed and said, "Yup, we're madly in love with each other."
I expected the kid to be disgusted with us and run off, but instead he smiled and said, "Great, because you two look great together."
Dark and I looked at him with astonishment, and then laughed together.
"Well, I gotta go now," said the kid, he ran off a few steps and then stopped to turn back, "You should come play with me and my other friends sometime."
I stood up and said, "Sure kid, we'll drop by as soon as we get the chance."
As he waved us good bye, Dark managed to hail a cab. I though about the kid just now, how he accepted Dark and I, even though we were slightly different from most guys, we were still human. If a kid could accept a gay couple, why couldn't everyone else? Casting aside unhappy thoughts, I then focused on the party, as we were now at the mansion's entrance.
Dark pressed the doorbell button and the automated gate immediately flung open. Looks like they were expecting us. We walked on the stone pavement that stretched towards the mansion itself.
To the far right was the garden and beside it a large green house, the twin's mother loved taking care of plants, she enjoyed admiring different plants and flowers. She had a green house built so that she could grow flowers of every season. As it was winter, the only plants left were in the green house. The trees stood solemnly, leafless, while the other plants were unseen, covered in white snow.
To the far left was the swimming pool, tennis court and the gym. Though obviously they were barely used due to the frigid chill of the air, in fact the water in the swimming pool had to be drained to prevent it from freezing over.
Most of the people considered winter as the season of rest and relaxation, many families stayed at home all winter, infrequently going anywhere else, except for work of course. It was the season when the normal hustle and bustle was barely present, the whole town took on a new face, presenting itself as a tranquil, quiet place.
When I was done thinking, Dark knocked on the door a few times, and almost immediately we heard a voice saying, "Oh, you're here, come on in the door's unlocked." I faintly heard the suspicious sound of giggling, but I had barely enough time to register it as Dark opened the door and we were greeted unexpectedly.
"SURPRISE!!" yelled Risa, Riku, Takeshi, Mio, Krad and Satoshi together, throwing confetti at us. I was really surprised and at a totally loss for words; Dark however was grinning as he pulled me inside, he then pointed at a banner hanging across the room with the words /Daisuke & Dark forever/ on it.
I could already feel the slight tinge of red on my cheeks (haha, man I blush too easily). We were led linto the dining hall, where all sorts of exquisite food were displayed in a gorgeous fashion. Even looking at it made it mouth-wateringly good. Before an of us attacked the dining table, Mio took the opportunity to speak.
"First and foremost, we'd like to congratulate Dark and Daisuke for getting together. We threw this party just for you, so let's get the part started!"
Everyone cheered her words, and then we took our seats, taking in the scrumptious aroma before devouring the food. I realized yet again that Dark's flirtatious personality would never waver in the slightest way. He took a spoonful of food and leaned towards me," Say Ahh Dai-chan."
Well, who could resist a smexy bishie feeding you food? I opened my mouth obediently and ate the food gratefully. Suddenly I widened my eyes when I felt Dark's hand rubbing my crotch enjoyably.
I surreptitiously glared at him, and he looked at me with an innocent look, but deep in his eyes I could see an undeniable hunger, an almost desperate, pleading hunger. I sighed heavily, feeling guilty and upset at not being able to satisfy his 'needs'. Dark seemed to notice what I was brooding about, and he smiled beautifully and gave me a reassuring kiss.
After dinner, all of us went to find something to do. Krad and Takeshi were playing on the PS3, it was a gift to the twins from their uncle, and naturally they couldn't refuse, though they seldom even play on it.
"Take that Krad!" said Takeshi, who was apparently winning. Krad snorted, "Oh yeah? Well your winning streak ends here, reporter boy!"
I saw Riku looking at them and waving her head, "Boys will be boys."
Satoshi was chatting with Risa contently, occasionally sipping tea or eyeing Krad. He and Risa were also fiddling with, what else? Tarot Cards. Risa was in her element, absolutely delighted to meet someone who dabbled in fortune telling.
Riku went to surf the web on the computer, she was probably searching for sports things, that girl can be such a tomboy of sorts sometimes, but she's definitely loved by everyone that way.
Mio was engrossed in her Blackberry cell phone, I could never bring myself to believe how fast she could type on those tiny buttons. She sat beside the two fortune readers, and she seemed to focused on the cell phone that she didn't tease Risa about her obsession.
Dark and I, on the other hand were in the art room, where a plethora of beauteous artworks were displayed. Naturally I was drooling over them.
"Look Dark! That's the painting of the Winged-Unicorn, and that's "Ice and Snow". And woah, that's the statue of Adonis!"
Dark chuckled at my enthusiasm, he put his hand around my waist as I admired the famous Agate Links. "Don't wear yourself out Daisuke, we have plenty of time to see the artworks." I then giggled, "Yeah I know but I'm just so excited about it."
"You know," I said as I walked towards another artwork, "With all these famous artworks, I'm kinda surprised that there hasn't been a single robbery here." I looked at Dark and saw his pondering expression, which was quite funny, "Well," Dark started explaining, "From what I know, this mansion is equipped with the latest security system, it's so top-notched that only a phantom thief can infiltrate this mansion."
"I see……wait, a phantom thief?!" Both of us laughed at his amusing joke.
I suddenly yawned, and I finally noticed how tired I was, "Oh man, I didn't think I would be that tired." Dark gave me that I-told-you-so look, and I pouted, which made Dark laugh hysterically (sweat drop). I decided that I needed a walk outside alone, to get some fresh air. So I told Dark, and he nodded, either agreeing with my decision or granting me permission, I couldn't tell.
Before I ran off, Dark held my hand and said, "Daisuke, be back soon." A smile appeared on my face (I know it sounds weird since I can't see my own face, but just bear with me) as I said, "Don't worry Dark, I won't be long."
But apparently he wasn't done. He pulled me into his arms and locked lips with me. His hand held my cheek while the other was pulling me closer, both of my hands were tightly around his waist. Dark's head bobbed up and down as he kissed me, and I returned it with equal passion, our tongues brushing against each other as if thy had minds of their own.
"Daisuke, are you here?" Riku slowly opened the door and peered inside, we broke away from our kiss immediately, acting as if everything was normal. To our dismay it failed, as Riku blushed and stuttered, "O-oh, I'm, I'm sor-ry to disturb you guys." She then quickly closed the door, leaving us a bit disoriented.
But I then snapped back into reality, "Oh right, fresh air…Well I should go now, see ya later Dark." He waved goodbye, and I sped off.
I walked through the door and past the others in the living room, they were too busy to notice me turning the knob and exiting the mansion. I sighed a heavy sigh when I was out in the open, stretching my arms as I started walking about. Looking at my watch, I saw the time was half past seven, the creeping sun had already descended into the abyss, plunging the world into the silent night.
Though I could still hear and feel the chilling sound of a wintry gust, I immediately felt refreshed after breathing there. I sat on a bench and watched the snow falling. The truth is it never gets boring.
Five minutes had passed and I decided it was probably time to go inside, least Dark becomes anxious. As I did, the sound of clay crashing echoed through my head, I felt a strange numbness spreading throughout my body, followed by unconscious. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was the sight of two hideous girls.
