They stood there for what seemed like an eternity until a high-pitched squeal reached their ears. "KYUU!"
Both winced. The shorter boy looked up with a tear-stained face in the direction of the sound. Satoshi stood still, acting as if nothing had happened. "With? How did you get here?" called out Daisuke.
"Kyuu!" was the reply he received. A white creature leapt out from the shrubbery and latched on to his young owner's shoulder. With rubbed his nose against Daisuke's wet cheek, and then proceeded by turning to the blue-haired human, hissing as he bared his incisors.
Calmly, Satoshi began backing off from the animal. He did not feel like getting bitten by a rabid pet rabbit today.
The red-head removed With from his shoulder, managing an adorable pout through his tears. "That's not nice With. Hiwatari-kun is my friend."
With just about fainted in the boy's arms.
Satoshi blinked once. He blinked again. "I'm... your friend?"
With scrambled back to his spot on the boy's shoulder. Daisuke laughed at his new friend's bewilderment, the clear innocent laugh of a child. He brushed away the last of his tears with a sleeve. "Hai!" said Daisuke giggling. "Hiwatari-kun is my friend!"
Listening to such a wonderful exclamation, Satoshi felt his lips form a smile, a small one, but a smile all the same. "And Niwa-kun is my friend."
The two boys leaned back against the railing, watching sunset-gold foliage swirl through air and sweep against the sidewalk.
He glanced sidelong at the red-head, choosing to overlook a rude sounding sneeze from With. "Niwa-kun," began Satoshi. "There's still time to get to the birthday party."
"How Hiwatari-kun?" asked Daisuke curiously. Seeing that With was still riled up, the boy occupied himself stroking the rabbit creature between the ears.
"We could get a taxi," suggested his friend.
With's owner bowed his head down again. "I don't have any money," he said softly.
The other boy nonchalantly slipped his hands into his pants pockets. "I'm sure it's not that much."
Crimson eyes looked at him something akin to worship. "Arigatou, Hiwatari-kun."
Satoshi shrugged off the blush creeping onto his face. He turned away from the railing, giving a slight nod to indicate Daisuke was to follow. The trio trotted down the sidewalk, leaving the school grounds. Stepping away from the curb, the blue-haired boy waved at a taxi cab. The car pulled up alongside them.
Daisuke petted With's forehead nervously. Tired with the treatment, With slipped out from under his hand and moved to the boy's other shoulder. "Kyuu," grumbled the ruby-eyed creature.
The driver stared at the shorter boy. How strange, to have a pet with the same odd colored eyes, especially ones of liquid crimson. A tap against his car returned his attention to Satoshi.
"Would you please drive us to this address?" he requested. He was surprised to find his voice had an edge to it. Handing over the invitation from Takeshi the day before, Satoshi gave an inward sigh. The taxi driver had glanced once at the red-haired boy and he transformed into ice. He was not supposed to be this protective over just a friend.
He opened the door to the backseats. "After you," Satoshi indicated to Daisuke.
Grinning, the boy went into the vehicle, plunking himself down at the other end. Satoshi entered and shut the door behind him. He deposited his bookbag on the car floor, sitting down so that there was one space between him and Daisuke.
The shorter boy had the cutest of frowns on. Suddenly, he brightened. The red-head removed his backpack and deposited it on his seat. By the time the taxi had motored off, Daisuke and Satoshi were sitting side by side.
