Draco: *slumps down in chair* Okay! Finally! I've had this thing sitting
in my lap, half-written for at least a month, and it's finally done. I
know. I know. It's too short. I promise I'll write more ASAP, but I've
got so many other things to write on. Winter break starts this weekend,
so.yeah. If you're lucky that might getting some work out of me. I hope
you like what I've got here. Those of you who actually read my ANs getting
to be forewarned: Satoshi is rather OOC in this chapter, or at least I
think so.

Daisuke woke up later, stomach growling viciously. With a groan, he rolled out of bed, forcing his eyes open as his bare feet touched the cold floor. His eyes burned a little, still slightly swollen from sleep and tears, but he made them focus anyway. If he couldn't see, he couldn't get out of the house, which meant he couldn't get to that little Italian bakery on the corner. Why he originally wanted to go there, he wasn't sure, but it sounded good anyway. So he shoved himself away from the bed and started pulling on some clothes. It wasn't until he was hopping a bit to yank a leg of his pants on that he remembered exactly why his eyes were so puffy from crying.
"Ow!"
Daisuke toppled over, slamming into the ground next to the violet haired thief who lay curled into a pained ball on the floor. "D-dark? Oh yeah!" He blushed, eyes wide. "Oh wow! Sorry! Did I step on you?"
"You could say that," Dark squeaked, clenching his teeth.
"Oh!" A hand flew to Daisuke's mouth, and his face grew even brighter. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you! Oh god! Mmmm.!"
Trying to stretch out a little, Dark rolled slowly into a sitting position. His teeth dug into his bottom lip and he rocked back and forth, clutching himself protectively as the tears burned his eyes again. What a way to wake up.
Beside him, the little brunette squirmed uncomfortably. "Um.are you gonna be okay?"
He nodded, forcing a smile. "Yeah.I'll be fine."
"Um.well.you wanna go get breakfast with me? I'm heading to that bakery you've been bugging me to go to more often."
Dark stared at him.
"What?" Daisuke blushed. "I just thought I'd try to make up for.well.stepping on you.and."
"Okay."
The two then continued to just stare at one another.
* * *
"Can I help you two?"
Daisuke and Dark looked up to their waitress, and the brunette blushed. She had one of those grins on her face that told you she was assuming something. Then again, he hadn't really thought about it before. It did almost look like they were on a date or something, didn't it? Oh boy.
He forced a nervous smile. "Um.can I just have some coffee for now?"
"Sure," she laughed and turned to Dark. "And you?"
The thief sighed. "Yeah.coffee sounds good."
"Alrighty! I'll be right back with that!"
Daisuke watched the girl weave away through the maze of tables and chattering people, fidgeting with the hem of his t-shirt. His shoulders twitched slightly and he looked down. He didn't want Dark to see the red he could feel growing on his cheeks; it was too embarrassing. As he dipped his head to hide behind stray hair, however, a hand landed on his shoulder. With a gasp, he jumped and spun, wide-eyed. Across the table, Dark suddenly seemed extremely angry.
"Well, didn't expect to meet you here," the blue-haired youth almost sighed.
The red that had been taking over drained rapidly from Daisuke's face as Satoshi glanced toward Dark. Panic flooded the brunette's brain. What if Satoshi suddenly decided turning Dark in to the police was a good idea, or something? He hadn't thought about that. He hadn't thought at all. Bringing Dark out had all been his idea and it had been so stupid. Anything could happen!
His thoughts broke off when he focused on Satoshi's face, though, for the other boy seemed horribly shocked, almost as if he was coming to a sudden, frightening realization. Behind his glasses, the boy's already pale complexion became even more so, and he jerked back so abruptly that his hand barely released Daisuke's shoulder in time to avoid toppling him over with the force. Then blue hair flew as the boy spun, whipping back and forth to look between the two seated before him.
"Uh.Satoshi? Is something wrong?" Daisuke frowned softly.
The boy shook his head, mouth hanging open, and backed away; then he was storming out against the morning rush.
Dark raised a brow. "Wonder what's gotten into him."
Daisuke just frowned, staring towards the door, as their waitress returned with their coffee.

Satoshi spun around a corner and into an alley, slamming his back against the wall, and howled, "What was the weakness, Krad?"
~Interesting. Very interesting. The phantom thief out in the daylight, in public no less.~
"Krad!"
~I believe I already told you that I don't know.~
"But they were empty!"
~What are you babbling about?"
"Daisuke's eyes! They were empty!"
~I repeat: What are you babbling about? What do you mean "empty"?~
The youth growled, eyes rolled upward and glaring as if the blonde stood above him. "There's always been something there! Daisuke has always had something behind his eyes! It always felt like there was someone else staring out through them, not just him! When he stares at you, it's supposed to feel as if there are two people staring! That's gone! They're empty! His eyes are empty!"
Silence followed, Satoshi's mind blocking out the outside world for the moment, until Krad finally spoke, and the other boy could feel his curse grinning. ~Now that is very interesting.~
"Krad."
~And he was with Dark, eh?"
"Krad? What are you thinking?"
That wicked grin stretched, and Satoshi thought it might make his brain split. ~I do believe I may have an answer to your question after all. Yes. I do believe I may have an answer.~

Draco: *raises brow and smirks* Wonder why Satoshi's been studying Daisuke's eyes so much? *laugh* All right, I know what some people might be thinking, and I swear this story will stay a D/D fic, but don't' be surprised if some D/S hints slip in here and there, kay?
