~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daisuke sat in class staring out the window as the snowflakes fell silently on the window pane. The snow had fallen on the plain old ground making it so much prettier then before. Daisuke sighed and scratched his nose. He couldn't help but think that Ken was most likely doing the same thing right now, just staring out into the beautiful snow. Ken always did love the snow, Daisuke thought as he wrote in his breath on the window. Daisuke and Ken 4 ever!



Daisuke sat up straight in shock at what he had just written on the glass. He wiped it away hastily as his gaze shot around the room as the question of why he had written that went through his mind. Satisfied that no one had saw, he went back to looking out the window in awe at the snow.

I wonder what Ken's wearing today, he thought as he rested his chin on his arm that was lying across the window sill. That's weird, why would I care what Ken is wearing today...? Hmmm... I wonder what he's thinking of right now...? Daisuke sighed in annoyance. Why can't I stop thinking about KEN!?! This is driving me nuts! I know! Maybe Ken thought of a really cool way to make people go nuts and he's testing it on me and..... Aaaaaahhhh!!! Get out of my head will you? Stupid Ken! Why do you have to be so... so KEN!

For the past few days Daisuke hadn't been able to stop thinking of Ken and he just couldn't figure out why. Daisuke cleared his throat. Hmm... he thought. My throat must be dry or something because it's so scratchy. Daisuke took his water bottle out and took a swig. He then went back to staring at the millions of little white crystals that were blanketing the whole of Tokyo. Daisuke pressed his noes up against the window and thought about how he went to his other best friend Miyako about this. She just started to giggle and then laugh followed by,

"I think I'm going to let you figure this one out for yourself, Dai-chan."

What did she mean by that? he thought. Daisuke was snapped out of his thoughts by getting yelled at by the teacher.

"DAISUKE!" She yelled, "Have you even heard one word that has come out

of my mouth?"

Daisuke looked up at her and panicked.

"Aaaa... Yes, Miss Ken, I-I-I mean Koruko!"

The teacher rolled her eyes and went back to teaching the class. Now this just so happened to be a split grade class and Miyako just so happened to be in it. She started to giggle and that erupted into a fit of laughter which almost got her self kicked out of the room.

The bell rang telling the students that it was time to go.

Daisuke scratched his arm and took one last look at the snow falling just out the window.

"Sorry Miss Koruko," he said sweetly as he bowed to her. She smiled.

"That's OK, Dai-chan, just don't do it again."

Daisuke smiled and walked out the door. He walked through the halls and to his locker. He opened it and put his books away. He glanced at a picture of him and Ken that he had had for a long time. It was his favorite. It was just after a soccer game. Ken had his arm around Daisuke and they were both covered in mud and rain. He studied the picture as he had done so many times before. With a dreamy sigh Daisuke closed his locker only to find himself face to face with Miyako.

Daisuke freaked out and fell to the ground. Miyako looked around laughing.

"Here," she said grabbing his hand and pulling him up again. "Thanks!" she added. "You just made my day!"

Daisuke looked up at her still digging his nails into his chest.

"DON'T EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!" He sucked in a deep breath and let it out with a smile.

"What do you want Miya?"

Miyako grinned.

"So have you figured it out yet?"

Daisuke pretended not to know what she was talking about, but he couldn't fool her. She reminded him of class.

"YES, Miss Ken Oh I-I-I mean Miss Koruko..." She threw her hands in the air. "DUH! DAISUKE, THE KEN THING!!!" Daisuke pushed her up against the locker softly.

"Shhhhh! Would you say it A little louder? I don't think the PEOPLE THREE BLOCKS AWAY HEARD YOU!!!"

Miyako rolled her eyes and put her hands in his hair.

"So," she said over-pronouncing everything. "Have you figured it out yet?"

Daisuke sighed heavily.

"Look Miya, whatever your talking about I have no clue, so if you'll excuse me I'm going to go play in the snow!" He said the last bit cheering up a little. "So I'll call you later... 'Kay?"

"Yeah, OK..." She said a little frustrated. "Just do me a favor?"

"Any thing, what?"

"Promise me you'll think about it, OK?"

"OK, OK, I will!" Daisuke laughed at her enthusiasm. "See ya' later, Miya."

"Bye!" she replied sweetly, happy that she got her way.

Daisuke shook his head as he watched Miyako walk away. He coughed into his hand as he made his way past the people in the hall. He wrapped his scarf tightly around his neck and stepped out into the crisp cold air. He walked slowly to a big tree near the school. He looked up and closed his eyes just letting the snow fall and melt on his warm skin. He was having a peaceful moment until he heard,

"DAISUKE, LOOK OUT!" And of course Daisuke being Daisuke looked at where the voice had come from. He was smacked in the face with a snowball.

"Awww, Dude!" He yelled whipping the snow off his face but before he could say a word of protest he was tackled to the ground landing in a big drift of snow. He looked up to see who had done all this, ready to give this guy a piece of his mind, but to his surprise it was Ken and sitting on him none- the-less. Ken looked right into Daisuke's eyes and, panting, leaned forward as much as he could. Their noses were touching.

"You know, Dai-chan," he said smiling, "when somebody yells 'look out' it doesn't usually....well, at least the last time I checked, mean 'Look'!"

He chuckled feeling smug. Ken's smile faded and he backed away a little.

"Dai...what's wrong? I thought you would be happy to see me." Ken was a little hurt, but Daisuke was lost in Ken's indigo eyes.

"Hello! Earth to Daisuke!" exclaimed Ken.

Daisuke snapped out of his trance and into his normal Daisuke state. He shook his head and reached up pulling Ken down to his face once more.

"Oh, I am glad to see you," he said with a smile. "You wanna' know why?"

Ken looked perplexed.

"Yes, why?" he asked quietly.

Daisuke leaned in even closer and whispered into Ken's ear.

"Because..." he paused, "THIS!" He yelled as he grabbed a huge handful of snow and face-washed Ken with it.

Ken closed his eyes and scrunched up his nose as a big chunk of snow made its way down Ken's neck. It slid down his back. Ken's eyes shot open and he started to wiggle around on top of Daisuke squeaking as it made its way all the way down his back.

Ken stopped moving and sighed as the snow fell out of the bottom of his coat.

Daisuke giggled at Ken.

"Ha, got you back good!" he said mocking Ken. "Now are you going to get off of me or are you just going to sit on me all day?"

Ken put his finger on his chin in a fake thinking pose.

"Hmmmm...." he said this time doing the mocking. "Let me think, you know the thought of getting off of you... IS inviting but... NO, I think I'm going to sit on you all day."

Ken chuckled looking down at Daisuke with a raised eyebrow. Daisuke rolled his eyes with a smile.

"Just get off!" With that Daisuke pushed Ken to the side into another snow drift.

Still laughing Ken got to his feet and helped Daisuke up.

"SO!" Daisuke said happily but before he could continue he was

interrupted by a spell of coughing.

"You OK?" Ken asked.

Daisuke looked up at his best friend.

"Oh, me? I'm fine. I think I just ...inhaled some snow," he lied. The truth was that he didn't feel the best that he had ever felt.

"OK," Ken replied softly. "Um... you were saying something Dai-chan?"

Daisuke cleared his sore throat and rubbed it.

"Yeah, I was going to suggest going to the coffee house down the street and getting some hot chocolate, what do you say?"

Ken closed his eyes and sucked in a deep breath and let it out in a "Mmmm! That's sounds so good to me right now. Daisuke, you read my mind! As usual."

Daisuke smiled and they made their way to the coffee shop, both sniffling from cold.

They got to the coffee shop and found the last seat by the window. They sat in their seats. They were extra high and they swiveled around.

Daisuke took his gloves off and placed them on the heater. He rested his elbows on the table and put his chin in his hands.

"SO, Kenny boy, what would you like to have?" he said in a goofy tone. Ken looked up with a smile.

"I thought we were going to have hot cocoa?"

"Oh, yes we are, but if you would kindly look up to the menu board you will see that there are over 5 different kinds of hot cocoa! And all good I might add!"

Ken studied the menu with a laugh.

"I think I'm just going to stick with the normal flavors." He turned back to Daisuke with a grin.

"Yep! Me two!" Daisuke added. He started to get up but Ken put a hand on his shoulder.

"No that's OK, my treat!"

"Oh, OK. Thanks Ken-chan!"

Daisuke watched Ken walk to the front of the counter and order. He watched every movement that Ken made. The way he lifted two fingers indicating that he wanted two hot chocolates, the way he ran his fingers through his long, dark blue, wet hair, the way he always stood so straight all the time, and the way he watched the lady make the drinks.

Daisuke was snapped out of his thoughts when Ken turned to him from across the room. It was almost as if he knew Daisuke had been staring. Daisuke's eye's darted around the room.

"Daisuke?" Ken asked.

Daisuke looked at him.

"You want some whipped cream?"

Daisuke nodded and let the breath out that he had been holding, worried that Ken had caught him red handed.

Ken grabbed the drinks and headed back to the table, his eyes on the drinks so as not to spill them. He put them down and slid Daisuke's to him.

"Thanks," Daisuke said as he turned his had and coughed.

Ken took no notice of this as he blew on his drink. Daisuke did the same. Ken glanced up to say something but stopped when he noticed that Daisuke was very rosy cheeked and looked rather tired, not to mention that he just stared at his drink sort of incoherent to every thing around him. He watched as Daisuke coughed again but this time it wasn't just some innocent little cough. It sounded bad.

"Dai?" he asked quietly in an almost sympathetic tone. "Daijobu? Because from where I'm sitting, you don't look so good."

Before Daisuke could say anything Ken reached up and placed his hand on Daisuke's forehead.

"And I think you might have a little bit of a fever," he stated. "And don't lie! I can come back later, 'Kay? My school's out for a week because of the snow. So I can come back when you're feeling a bit better, OK?"

Daisuke sighed feeling really put out that he was getting sick then. It's not every day that Ken came out to visit him living across the river and all.

"Yeah," Daisuke said quietly. "I'm not feeling the best I've ever felt, maybe I should go home... shit, Ken, I'm sorry! You came all this way to see me and I get sick on you!"

Ken smiled warmly.

"That's OK, Dai. I'll just come and see you when you're feeling a bit better."

Daisuke huffed and looked at his hot chocolate. He scratched his arm and grumbled.

"And this rash isn't making me feel any better!"

Ken sat up in his chair.

"Um... Dai-chan, you HAVE had the chicken pox before... right?"

Daisuke looked up from his scratching.

"No, no one in my family has. Why?"

"Well, I read in the paper this morning that the chicken pox virus has flared up in this area... and from what your symptoms are I would say you most likely have it, Dai, and if no one in your family has had it before, then there's a big problem."

"Why, what's a problem?" Daisuke asked getting a little worried.

"Because, Daisuke-san, the chicken pox virus is a very contagious one and the older you are the worse it is! So you see my point?"

Daisuke coughed into his shirt and turned back to Ken.

"Then what the HELL am I going to do? I feel like shit and I want to go home!"

Ken just smiled and got up adding, "I'll be right back."

Daisuke nodded and plopped his head down on the table feeling worse as every second passed.

Ken went to the pay phone in the back of the store. He dug in his pocket for some change. He found some and popped it in the slot and picking up the receiver, he dialed Daisuke's number. The phone rang once, twice.

"Hello?"
