Caribbean Cruise
Chapter Two

After Daisuke and Ken left the pool, Daisuke couldn't stop thinking about the angel-god in the water. He had been the most incredible thing Daisuke had laid eyes on. The most beautiful as well. He knew he wanted to see the angel-god again, and he hoped he would.

"Daisuke?" Ken asked. "You haven't said much all night. Is something the matter?" Daisuke shook his head.

"No, I'm fine," he replied. "Just thinking, is all." And how could he not think about the angel-god that might possibly still be playing volleyball in the pool. The mahogany haired boy was tempted to go back to the deck and check. What's the worst that could happen, anyway? He could not be there and Daisuke could never see him again. Daisuke's heart sank after that thought. What if he didn't see the angel-god again? He already had Daisuke intrigued by his beauty.

Daisuke never did go back up to the deck though, he fell asleep before he could even get out of his swim shorts. He did dream of the angel-god. He was chasing the angel-god, but every time he got close the boy would disappear--leaving Daisuke alone. Then Daisuke tried one last time, but this time the angel-god turned and grabbed the mahogany haired boy by the shoulders. Daisuke sucked in his breath, but then became confused when the angel-god began to shake him.

"Daisuke," the immortal said. "Daisuke, wake up."

How does he know my name, he pondered as the angel-god continued shaking him.

"Daisuke," it said again. "Wake up!" The mahogany haired boy shot up from his laying position instantly, smacking his forehead against something hard.

"Ouch," he heard a moment after the collision. He rubbed his forehead as he opened his eyes, he saw Ken rubbing his forehead as well. Ken looked at the shorter boy. "I wasn't expecting you to shoot up like that."

Daisuke shrugged. "Sorry, Ken. I thought--I thought you were something else."

"Yeah, something that must have--man, you sure hit me hard." Ken replied with a laugh. Daisuke gave a forced laughed, and continued to rub his bruised forehead.

"Sorry," Daisuke apologized again. "What time is it?" Ken shrugged.

"About eight-thirty, why?"

"In the morning?" Ken nodded. "I slept all night?" Ken nodded again. "In my--" Daisuke looked down at his attire, realizing that he wasn't wearing his swim shorts anymore, but his pajamas instead. He looked up at Ken quizzically. Ken smirked

"I woke you up last night so you could change, remember?" he said. Daisuke shook his head, and Ken suppressed chuckle.

The two boys sat in silence for a few minutes before Daisuke slid off the bed easily. He walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. A few minutes later he walked back out. He grabbed his room key and looked at Ken.

"I'm going to get food," he said groggily. Ken nodded, but made no attempt to accompany the shorter boy.

The short boy walked into the restaurant and took a quick look around. He felt kind of stupid being there all by himself. The place was pack; he looked around for an empty table, but found none. He waited a few seconds--and a person got up from their seat; laying down money for a tip. Perfect, Daisuke thought. He started to make his way over to the table as a busboy cleaned it off. He reached the table, bumping into someone once he got there. He glanced at the person, realizing they wanted the table too.

"Oh," he said, sighing.

"You can have it," they both said simultaneously.

Daisuke looked at the person, taking in a sharp breath when he realized it was the boy from the pool. He stared at him, his mouth gaping. The boy grinned at him, making Daisuke snap out of his stupor. He closed his mouth abruptly, smiling sheepishly.

"You can have it," Daisuke insisted again. The boy shook his head.

"You were here first, you go ahead and have it."

That statement didn't make much sense to Daisuke. He hadn't been there first--they had gotten there at the same time.

"I don't want it," he replied. The boy laughed.

"I'm not taking it--there's no other tables clear in here, so I'm not taking it if you're not." Daisuke thought about that sentence for a few seconds. It had sounded a little weird, what did the boy mean when he said that? "How 'bout we both sit here, 'cause I'm not sitting if you're not." Daisuke nodded without really thinking about it. Next thing he knew he was sitting across from the angel-god he had been dreaming about not an hour before.

After a few moments of uncomfortable silence--at least for Daisuke, the other boy cleared his throat.

"I'm Taichi," he said with a lop-sided grin. Daisuke stared at him, and Taichi's smiled slipped off his face. "What?" Daisuke snapped out of his trance and shook his head wildly.

"No! Er--Um... I'm Daisuke," he replied, giving another sheepish grin.

$#$#$#$#$#

Once back in the room, Daisuke punched the air with his fists, gleefully. He bounced around the room, grinning madly.

"I just had breakfast with a god," he announced to the room, though Ken was the only other person there. Ken raised his eyebrow, staring at Daisuke intently. "He's not only hot, but he plays soccer--What are the odds?"

After a few moments, Ken shook his head.

"Dai, lots of people play soccer. Many of them aren't ugly." he said slowly, as if he didn't want to pop his friend's bubble. Daisuke only shrugged.

"Ken, you don't get it! He just ate breakfast with me!" Daisuke began to jump around the room gleefully. Ken rolled his eyes, sighing exasperatedly. "He just ate breakfast with me! Wait--what if I don't see him again? What if he thought I was a complete idiot? What if--"

"--Daisuke!" Ken yelled over the mahogany haired boy's rants. Daisuke looked at Ken expectantly, stopping mid-rant. Ken took a deep breath, staring at the boy for a short moment. "Just chill out a little, okay?"

"But--"

"--No. No buts. Just stop, you're becoming overbearing." Daisuke sighed, but grinned despite himself.

"His name's Taichi," he said, giving Ken a lop-sided grin. Ken shook his head, sighing; but grinned back.
