Chapter Five: Signs of awakening (1)

Daisuke stepped out  in the sultry evening and looked up to the sky. Grey clouds where  forming at it and from a distance he could hear the growling of thunders. It may give a heavy storm this night.

But Daisukes thoughts were other things. What an odd day this was.  It was rare that so many things happened at one single day. Odd things. Exciting things. Things warming him up from inside. And this day was still not over now.

The redhead closed the door of  his appartment behind him and started his way to Satoshis one. While walking he continued his thoughts. After they came back from the park they both worked very hard on the case. Okay, Satoshi worked hard to explain him everything about it. And he did it very patiently. The thief called himself "Vicious". And this name fit the best for his acting. Well, he imitaded the style of Dark, but it wasn't that perfect. He sent messages each time and stole the rare art objects with nearly the same grace as Dark did -  but only if you don't look closer you didn't see a difference. And Daisuke *did* look closer, because he knew Darks differnent steps better than another one… Except Satoshi maybe… But this were the only similarities they knew till now. The other things he did were actions of a psychopath. Everytime he showed up he hurt the guards the worst. Most of them who were in contact with Vicious where unconcios after he left. One or two victims have been brought to hospital everytime after he showed up. They were badly injured. The thief seems to have fun in torturing people. Daisuke only shook his head about this facts and got sad. How could this bastard compare himself to Dark?! He left a note after every job. A black feather. This was an insult for him and Dark. The thief was mocking at them. Dark never layed a hand on another one. Deep inside him something growled. He was mad. Daisuke was very seldom mad at something but this went too far. He frowned and his eyes flickered vilolet of anger.

But he won't let this bastard spoil  this night. He was really looking forward his date... his meeting with Satoshi. The anger left and was replaced by a tickling at his stomach. But Satoshi ever managed it to confuse him. While explaining the facts of the case he gave him curious... no, reseaching gazes... very intense ones which made Daisukes heart beat faster than it did only because of the pure presence of the other young man. This he added mentally to his list of  "very odd and exciting things".

Well, he was nervous. And he got more nervous when he found himself standing in front of the door to Satoshis appartment. He staired at the silver number on the door to calm himself down, breathed in deeply and raised his hand to knock on the wood. He knocked and swallowed. Then there was a while nothing. This while was an eternity for the redhead and he thought his heart will break out of his chest because it was beating so fast. 'Why did you knock? He'll sure hears your heart pounding' Daisuke thought and sighed. He was so busy with his thoughts that he nearly shrieked when the door opened so sudden.

"Daisuke..."

The called one eyed Satoshi carefully. He wore black throusers and a dark blue shirt which was still open. So, Daisuke was able to see the slim, trained figure and the pale skin of his opposite. And to be honest to himself Daisuke liked this picture. Still staring at Satoshis chest which raised with every breath  Daisuke felt a burning heat on his cheeks and was sure that a heavy blush decorated them. Why was he so atracted to the other one so sudden? Was it really sudden, or did he had such feelings from the first day they met in high school? Crap, he was so confused. He really didn't know anything right now. Nearly unable to do so he raised his head and looked at Satoshis face which was framed with blue strands of  moist hair.

Moist?!

His eyes widened! He looked at his watch... and looked back to Satoshis questioning, yes irritated, gaze because of the weird acting of Daisuke.

"G-Gomen nee, Satoshi-kun! I'm too early!" the redhead stuttered husky, still an adorable red on his cheeks.

"Ah, that's no problem." A small but amused smile was placed on his lips. Still holding eye contact with the nervous and embarassed Daisuke.

Daisuke was only able to look at this face, this beatiful face. Why haven't he seen this earlier? Yes, he thought that Satoshi was very beatiful, and without his glasses he looked different, a kinda other way atractive he already was. Somehow he had this feeling that this deep blue eyes soaked him inside.

How would Satoshi react if he told him his thoughts? Sure, he would laugh at him. No, Daisuke corrected his thoughts, Satoshi wasn't the person who would laugh at such things... He would only raise one eyebrow and give him an icy look.

But this didn't change anything about his feelings towards Satoshi. He still wasn't really sure what kind of feelings this were, but somehow he expected some kind of love...

Satoshi at the other hand was staring back at Daisukes dark red eyes. They were looking so honest at him like in the past. And they still warmed him up, caused this weird feeling inside him combined with this stabbing at his chest. And he still wasn't able to read what the other one was thinking. Yes,  he still liked Daisuke more than anyone else. Was this possible? Was it possible that it was given a second chance to them? So he should put all his effort into this even he had doubts about this stabbing pain which appeared again so suddenly and what Daisuke was thinking about this... Every efford he had... His eyes softened and his smile grew warmer.

"You're staring at me..." Satoshi mentioned and smiled amused whe he saw how the other one panicked.

"Wah?!" Daisukes eyes widened in shock. Satoshi realized that he *stared* at him!!! "Gomen nee, Satoshi-kun! I-I didn't intend-"

The blue haired one looked deeply in Daisukes eyes and smiled again. "Daijobou, Daisuke-kun. I don't mind this. Really." Yes, he thought Daisuke was still cute and adorable though he grew up. At this moment he only wanted to hug the other one, but something inside him blocked this spontaneous reaction. He had to keep control, he remembered himself. Control, if it was true what he felt. If  *he* wake up again because of Satoshis feelings. But this feelings were too good to be ignored. They were both cursed but there must be another solution for them…So he pushed away this dark thoughts and dedicated himself more intense than before to Daisuke.

Satoshi stepped aside. "Wanna come in?"

"H-Hai!" Daisuke grinned ebarassed. He passed Satoshi and caught the scent of his aftershave and soap. It was dry, fresh and cool at the same time -  a mixture which reminded Daisuke of the sea. Yeah, this really suited Satoshi. He smiled and turned back to him.

Satoshi closed the door and pointed to the couch. "Would you mind it to wait a little bit till I'm ready?"

"Ah, okay…" he said and sat on the couch, still watching Satoshi.

Buttoning his shirt he tried to start a conversation to Daisuke. "Uhm… Which kind of party is this? You haven't told very much about this." Somehow he felt a little uneasy because he wasn't the "party type". He never went to such events. Was ever on his own.

"Well…" Daisuke smiled and scratched his head. "This is because I don't know very much about it too. I was so busy with my vernisage that I didn't informed myself very well… And then at the vernisage this friend asked me if I would come to the opening of his new club…" While explaining, he sweatdropped more and more. Didn't he know *anything*?! He felt so stupid. Ouuuwww… He was making a fool of himself right now!!! So he stared down to his hands and fixed them if they where something he'd never seen before. "Well, I only know the name of the club. It's called "Monsoon". That's everything …" It's getting worse, Daisuke thought, grinned despaired and tilted his head only deeper then.

"Ah, interesting. I'm really looking forward it." Satoshi answered.

"Eh?" Daisuke lifted his head surprised. "Really?!" So it's not getting *that* worse than he thought.

"Ah… Yeah…" Satoshi nodded and smiled, relieved that Daisuke didn't felt so uneasy anymore. "Let's forget the case for a while and enjoy this night, okay?"

"Uhm… Hai!" Daisuke raised from the couch and grinned towards Satoshi.

The blue haired young man put on his glasses. "Well, let's go."

"Hai!" Daisuke responded. "I'm looking forward it too. It's nice to spend some time with you again."

'I wished we had done this before…' the redhead added mentally.

Standing this way in front of him, with this black thoursers and the dark blue shirt, Daisuke only thought that Satoshi was very good looking and – one fact that made him dizzy for a while- that he liked this thought. Well, he was really atracted to him.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Both young men were walking through the more and more stormy becoming night and stopped in front of a building with big orange letters.

"Well, it seems that we have arived." Daisuke said to Satoshi. His heart calmed down a little bit but it still beat very fast. And Daisuke was still confused about his feelings.

"Hn…" Satoshi lifted his head and looked at the orange letters which let everybody know that this club was called "Monsoon". From inside forced orientalic sounds their way out. A heavy breeze tousled Satoshis hair and brought the spicy scent of joss sticks to his nose. He looked towards the redhead and asked: "Wanna enter the club? It's getting more stormy outside."

"Hai!" Daisuke nodded and started to walk in.

The first impresion were for both very surprising. The whole setting took their breath away. As the name outside has said it was an orientalic club. So, the music was in this style too. There were dancers and performance artists everywhere -  moving to this wonderful sounds. And everything was so colourful. Transparent cloths where haninging from the ceiling and everywhere you could see wonderful coloured pillows which nearly forced you to sit down on them.

Daisuke was only standing near to a wall – mouth open and eyes staring. The only thing he was able to force outside his mout was an "Oh- wow!"

Satoshi eyed everything neutral. "Well, it's really interesting here. Never thought that so good clubs exist." He said to Daisuke and smiled at him. And then – he forgot how crowded it was- he became a little bit careless. Well, not really Satoshi became careless, more another visitor of the club. And so Satoshi was pushed from behind. Eyes opened widely in surprise he fell forward and saw Daisuke coming closer and closer. In the last moment he avoided to crash heavily in this adorable redhead. He managed it somehow to put his arms on the wall to catch himself.

And now Daisuke was caught between his arms, his body and the wall. Last he realized that he got very close to the redhead though. There was only a small gap between them and their noses nearly touched. His heart skipped a beat. For one second they both felt something between them which was like electricity.

Daisuke was only able to look into Satoshis eyes and blinked very confused. He felt the warm breath of him on his cheeks and this caused this tickling inside him again. And then Satoshi came closer. For a moment he thought that he would kiss him but he only said some soft words in his ears -  like at their first meeting one day ago.

"Gomen naisai, Daisuke-kun. I didn't pay attention." Then he lowered his arms and took one step away.

Daisuke blushed heavily because of the way Satoshi acted towards him and he hoped despaired that he couldn't see in this dim light the dark red creeping on his cheeks.

"No problem!" Daisuke said and grinned. To chase away his embarrassment he changed the subject. "Ah, maybe I should warn you about my friend. Takio-san is kinda weird and he's … how should I say… He's g---"

"DAI-suke-KUUUUN!!! Here you are! I *finally* found you!!! Aaaaaahhh!!! And you're so good looking as ever!" A tall black haired man sprinted towards Daisuke. And yes, Satoshi thought, he acted very weird. Every word he stressed he combined with some dramatic movements of his arms. Analysing his acting towards Daisuke –he ever gave him a very odd look which embarassed Daikike more than his one- this Takio-san must be gay. Maybe this was the last word Daisuke wanted to tell him. With the sexual tendencies he hadn't any problem -more a problem was that this guy never stopped talking. Satoshi slowly got an headache.

"Oooohhh!!! The opening is really a *big* success! What do you say about it?" the weirdo continued. But then he stopped and Satoshi sighed inwardly and thanked god for this "silence". But then he realized *why* he stopped. Satoshi felt the eyes of the other one wandering up and down his body. And in contrast to when Daisuke eyed him this felt really uncomfortable.

"Huuuuu!!! You brought your *friend* with you Daisuke-kun. I never knew that you are interested in *that* way. If I knew ealier… " Takio sighed.

"Ano…" Daisuke tried to interupt him. But when he realized that it didn't worked he only sweat dropped.

"But I must say, you really have a goog taste. He's so *handsome* " The club owner blinked at Daisuke and grinned at Satoshi at the same time.

"Ahem…" Daisuke tried again. "I haven't introduced you… This is Hiwatari Satoshi… Well he's only an old friend from high school." He made things worser. By explaining the complicated relationship between them he only hurt Satoshis feelings. And by "only an old high school friend" Satoshi really felt a pain in his heart.

But Takio interupted again. "Oooooouuuuwwww… So you're still single?" He put an arm arround Satoshi and gave him a gaze which was really clear.

Seeing this picture – Satoshi touched and embraced by another one caused an very uncomfortable feeling inside him. It made him sad, angry  and helpless at the same time. And he had to realize that it was jealousy.

Satoshi only frowned when he felt the touch of the other one and gave him an icy glare. Yes, he *hated* nearly every body contact. But Takio ignored this glare. Realizing this Satoshi gritted his teeth and started sharply:

"I'm not---"

But Daisuke, who saw a catastrophy coming, grabbed Satoshis arm and pulled him out of Takios embrace and away from him.

"Look, Satoshi-kun! There's Saehara-san! Let's go over there. Gomen nee, Takio-san. See ya!" Daisuke said hectically, unknowing if one saw if he lied.

"Yaaayyyy!!! Enjoy this night, Daisuke-kuuuuun. And Hiwatari-san."

Daisuke pulled Satoshi to another enge of the club and let himself fall down on one of the soft pillows. He sighed and tilted his head. "Gomen neem Satoshi-kun. Well, he's knida strange… But when you know him closer he's a really kind person. Must be that he's very excited this night coz of the opening…" It was a mess… Everything was a mess now… Satoshi must be very angry.  He sighed deeply again. "And when I called you 'only an old friend from high school'… I didn't meant to… Well… Sorry… I was impolite to you…" Daisuke tilted his head.

Seeing the redhead was so frustrated and concerned it moved Satoshis heart. So he sat down next to him and layed a hand on his shoulder. He smiled softly and tried to calm Daisuke down.

"It's okay. I'm not angry or anything. And  well, he's really stenuous." Satoshi looked deeply in Daisukes eyes. "I only want to enjoy this night and be together with you here at this nice place."

Daisukes face lightened up and he smiled. This, Satoshi decided was the thing he liked most of the redhead. His bright smile. He stood up and said to Daisuke:

"Would you mind to wait a little bit? I'm getting some drinks for us."

"Hai." Daisuke smiled relieved to Satoshi. "I'm waiting."
