dnangel648: Dark is awesome. I wish I could be like... a quarter as awesome as he is. I'm just clumsy ol' me... hm, oh well. Oh, and did you get my email? I probably sent it to the wrong address or something x-x. Thanks for reviewing!
Untitled: XD, I didn't want to grasp at too many straws, I've already done that plenty with this fic. Thanks for reviewing!
iKat.13: XD, good, you should feel special. I'm not sure why, but you definitely should. Hm.. maybe Dark just wants to run Daisuke over. Hey, you never know, he could be just as insane as Krad, just... better at hiding it XD. Thanks for reviewing!

Ialmost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss Texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breasts
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
It wasn't every day that Dark surprised Daisuke with something new or thoughtful, but it was even more rare that one night when Dark awoke, Daisuke surprised him. A letter left purposely on the redhead's desk on crisp white paper, written neatly in Daisuke's own handwriting.
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too
Dear Dark,
I never regret much, but there has been something weighing on me for a long time now. I don't know how quite to say it, so I decided not to say it at all. I wish I could see you face to face for once to tell you this, but since I can't, you'll just have to use your imagination.
I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
'Cause I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
'Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on 'cause you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay
I thought for a long time about what I wanted to tell you, and how to say it all so you wouldn't ignore it or be scared by it-- I know you're not one to seriously accept another's feelings. Everything we've been through, though, I hope you can make an exception this one time.
I know, I'm dancing around the subject, aren't I? Alright...
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
Dark, I want to be separate from you. I don't want to share the same body anymore, it's too hard. I'm so close to you, and yet I can't even touch you or ever see your face. I want to be with you, not a part of you. I guess if I had to say I ever regretted one thing, it would be that I never said this sooner.
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too
Maybe it's too late, though. Maybe I've fallen for Riku-san, and you for Harada-san. Maybe these are just futile dreams, but I don't want to believe that, so I have to know: Is there any way that I can ever be with you?
Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift 'cause all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we had our problems I can't remember one
This letter is getting pretty lengthy, so I'll stop here. Knowing you, you probably didn't even see it, or read it all the way through. I really hope you say yes, Dark, and even if it's not possible, I still want to believe it's true.
Love,
Daisuke
I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away
Dark read through the note for sure. Not once, but a few times, just to clarify what his tamer was asking was really true. Daisuke really wanted to be separated from him to be with him. In anyone else's case, it would be a ridiculous and ironic notion, but Dark understood perfectly what his redheaded half was trying to say. He left the note where it was and pushed open his usual exit of Daisuke's window.
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
He glanced over his shoulder at the parchment once more before pausing to scribble a response on the bottom. His wings spread the next moment and he flew out into the night sky. A solemn expression covered his features before a small smile spread over his lips and he closed his eyes, "Sorry, Daisuke, that's something I can't do."
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you
After a night of gallivanting around town, Dark returned to the cozy room just before the break of dawn and slipped back into bed. He checked to make sure the note was still in its place before closing his eyes and allowing the younger boy to take control back.
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you
It wasn't long before Daisuke himself woke up and stretched. The note didn't even register in his memory until the final cloudiness of sleep drifted away. He immediately jumped up and out of bed at the thought that Dark had seen and read his note. Then, as his feet touched the floor, and he saw something scrawled on the bottom of the paper, his nerves went haywire. Hope filled him with each heartbeat and he slowly walked over to the desk.
The two-word reply was written in plain cursive writing, a clear sign that Dark had taken everything into consideration and replied as expected:
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you
Only mine.
I almost wish you would've loved me too
So, am I the only one who understands that? Probably. Dark doesn't want to be split from Daisuke because he doesn't want the chance that someone will get closer to Daisuke than he is right now. See how simple? Well, it is Dark, we can't expect anything too complex... hope you enjoyed!
