Chapter 2
'Hello Dark. What are you doing here? Are you here for business or is there something else?' The blue haired boy asked, looking as composed as ever, although his emotions were swirling around inside his gut. Dark simply stared at him. It apparantly took him a few moments before he was able to respond. The thief let out a sigh and started to talk.
'Look, I don't like being here, but I didn't have much choice.'
'What do you mean?' Satoshi replied impatiently.
'Daisuke talked me into coming here. He noticed you staring at him and he thought that maybe...' Dark hesitated for a moment before continuing. 'Maybe something was wrong with you or...your other half.'
Satoshi let out a sigh of relief and thanked God that Daisuke didn't know how he felt about his classmate.
'However,' Dark started again. 'I think there's more than just that.' The thief grinned a sheepish grin. 'Do you know what I'm talking about, Satoshi?'
The boy was taken aback for a while, but decided to keep his cool appearance. 'I'm not an idiot, Dark, ofcourse I know what you're implying. In any way, It's not what you think. I just...' Satoshi paused for a few seconds and then said:'I must admit, I care about him. But don't go thinking it's more than that. I don't want him to get hurt, that's all.'
Dark rolled his eyes. 'Fine, have it your way, you're not in love with him, sure..sure..'
Satoshi decided it was best to ignore the sarcastic undertone. 'You said Daisuke sent you. Talk.'
Dark chuckled. 'Never mind, Daisuke wants to speak to you in person.'
Satoshi couldn't prevent himself from blushing. He hoped that his classmate hadn't been listening to his conversation with Dark. He didn't even want his classmate to know that he cared. 'And deeply at that.' He thought.
There he was, the redhead, standing in front of him and the only thing he now wanted to do was to grab the boy and kiss him with such passion that he wouldn't forget it for a while.
And there he stood, staring right into Daisuke's bright eyes. The red haired boy seemed to be a bit nervous, the way he bit on his lips, staring in every direction except for where Satoshi was standing, looking very uncomfortable.
'Hello Niwa-kun.' Satoshi began, to break the icy silence. 'This might sound strange, but I'm glad you came.' 'You are?' Daisuke replied. 'Yes, I am. I...I don't really know how to say this but I...' Satoshi didn't think it would be that hard to ask the redhead for help. '...I need...your help. With Krad.' He paused, making sure the boy understood what he had said and then continued. 'Look, you don't have to help, if you don't want to. I know it's dangerous with Krad wanting to kill you and all...Oh and before I forget it, Krad is up to something, and you're his target. Yes...well, that's it.'
Daisuke thought about all the things his friend had said and couldn't help but notice that he looked worried. 'Hiwatari-kun, ofcourse I'll help you, don't ever doubt that again. Now tell me more about this Krad related problem. 'Cause I know you would never have asked me if you couldn't have solved it yourself.'
Satoshi frowned a little. 'You're right, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't absolutely sure I couldn't deal with it myself. The problem is...it's probably the same with you and Dark, he knows...he knows all my secrets, my thoughts. And...I know he's up to something, but because of all his experience with sharing bodies, experience I lack, he actually *can* keep secrets from me, if he wants to. Every now and then, he gives a hint of what he might be going to do to you, but never anything of importance.'
Satoshi thought about his little chat with Dark and this made him blush yet again. 'Niwa-kun, I don't know if you were listening when Dark and I talked, but...I *sight*..I -care- about you, and Krad, well, let's just say, he's the jealous type. He's only satisfied when he's got my full attention. You are the only...friend..I have..And then there's his obsession with you because you are, you might have heard him mention it, 'the winged master.' Because of all this, he wants you dead, preferably in a slow and cruel way. You have my word, I will fight him with all I have. Which, sadly, won't be nearly enough. I thought of a plan, but like I said before, he knows all about it. So I guess I'll have to leave it up to you and, however painful this is for me, your other half Dark. Now, I need to know, after hearing all this. Are you willing to help me?'
Daisuke chuckled. He didn't know Hiwatari-kun was actually a bit insecure. He felt a bit sorry for his friend. 'He's probably very lonely, poor boy. I'm lucky to have my parents, friends, With and Dark ofcourse. But he...he doesn't have anyone who cares about him. Well, except Krad in a sick and twisted way.' Daisuke thought. 'Hiwatari-kun, I will help you. In fact, I'll go home right now and talk to Dark about this. Is there anything else you want to tell me?'
Satoshi stared at his classmate. For only a split second, he felt like telling him everything that was bothering him. his doubts, his fears. just pouring his heart out. But he knew he couldn't. The only thing he could think of was a warning. The blue haired boy walked over to Daisuke and grabbed him by his shoulders, all to bring a certain message across. 'Niwa-kun, listen, whatever you do, don't tell me your plan. Do not tell me what you and Dark are up to.' He waited a bit too long before removing his hands from the boy's shoulders, creating an awkward silence. Satoshi just wanted to hold on to the warmth a little longer, even though he knew he shouldn't. He turned his face away from the boy standing in front of him and said:'Just..Don't tell me. You can leave now.' So there he was, soon to be completely alone again. He sighed probably for the tenth time this day and he felt bitter tears burning behind his eyes, waiting to be let out. He moved his hand to his head to run his fingers through his hair. Something Satoshi always did to keep his tears from falling.
Suddenly it occured to him that he never heard Daisuke leave. He didn't dare to turn around, find out if the red haired boy was still there but if he was, he didn't want him to see the sadness in his eyes. Satoshi heard soft footsteps moving towards him.
'Look, I..I don't want you here right now...I told you to go.' He said, hopely scaring the boy away. That didn't work. He felt a warm arm being laid around his shoulders. 'Oh, God, please no...' Satoshi whispered
Daisuke could see that Satoshi was sad and even though his friend told him to leave, he didn't. He slowly moved towards Satoshi and put his arm around him to comfort him. He heard his friend whisper something, but couldn't make out what he said. Daisuke felt the boy stiffen in his embrace. And then, out of the blue, small teardrops were falling from Satoshi's cheek.
'Daisuke is embracing me, comforting me' Satoshi thought with wonder. That gesture was just a little more than he could take and he cried. The first time ever that he let someone else see his tears. He turned around a bit and let his red haired classmate comfort him. Satoshi laid his head against Daisuke's shoulder and let the last few teardrops fall. They just stood there for a while, before breaking away. There was that uncomfortable silence again.
Daisuke put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, still neatly folded. Instead of giving it to Satoshi, he took one end of it between his fingers and softly whiped away the remaining tears off of Satoshi's face.
Satoshi, comletely stunned, let him do it. When his friend was done he asked: 'Why are you doing this? How can you be so kind?'
The redhead laughed and said:'We're friends. I care about you, silly! Just like you care about me. And now I'm gonna make you some tea, that will cheer you up, you'll see! Now you just relax and sit down, I'll be right back.'
Satoshi, still stunned, watched the boy look around in the kitchen, looking through the cupboards, probably to find cups or mugs. 'Oh well, might as well let him.' Satoshi muttered.
Daisuke returned with two damping mugs filled with tea.
'One for you,' he said while putting the mug in front of Satoshi. '..and one for me.' Another mug was placed on the table, right next to the blue haired boy's. 'So...you care about me, you say.' Satoshi began. Daisuke nodded while taking a sip of his tea.
'-How much- do you care about me?' he asked. The reaction that followed was one that Satoshi used to dream about. The boy turned a deep shade of red and didn't take his eyes of the mug. 'Well, I guess that's all the answer I need..' Satoshi stroked the other boy's hair, very gently. Something Daisuke didn't expect. The shade of red just turned into a deeper shade. A kiss was placed on top of the redhead's forehead. Another kiss was planted on his left cheek. A finger gently stroked his lips and not soon after, their first kiss was a fact. They pulled away for breath. Silence again.
All of a sudden Satoshi got even paler than he usually is. 'Daisuke....leave..NOW..'
He didn't have to explain this to Daisuke. Within seconds, he was gone. Not much later, a blond man, resembling an angel, but with a cruel spark in his eyes, stood in Satoshi's livingroom.
'*Well well well...the brat got away...oh joy. Let the games begin, muhahaha*!!!
