13CC: Here's the second chapter! I updated fast didn't I? I hope you like it!
Knock, knock, knock!
"Come in," Daisuke said not bothering to turn away from his drawing. He knew it was Dark. As usual the purple haired boy was late coming over.
"Hey Daisuke!" Dark said walking in the red head's room. "I have a surprise for you!"
"Really?" Daisuke asked mildly surprised. At least he had turned around and was looking at Dark. "What is it?"
"Come in Wiz!" Dark said to someone outside the door.
Daisuke's eyes widened as- he walked. A boy who looked exactly like him had just walked through his bedroom door. Dark was trying not to laugh at the expression on Daisuke's face.
Wiz stood next to Dark, who moved away as Daisuke walked over to Wiz. He stared with his mouth slightly open. Slowly he walked around Wiz and then went back to standing in front of him. He cautiously reached out a hand and touched the other boy's cheek. With his other hand he touched his own cheek.
"Who are you?" He whispered. Wiz didn't answer. He was in shock from seeing himself as well. "Dark who is this?" Daisuke asked louder turning to Dark.
"This is Wiz. We have to help him."
"Why does he- ?"
"Look identical to you? I don't know. Weird huh?"
"You're Daisuke Niwa," Wiz said slowly still not taking his eyes off Daisuke's face.
"Yeah."
"How'd you know that Wiz?" Dark asked. He was pretty sure he hadn't said Daisuke's last name when they were talking.
"I don't know. I have these memories. They're not really mine though. I'm not sure how to explain it."
"And the dreams!" Dark piped in. "Tells about the dreams now Wiz. You can sit on Daisuke's bed and tell us everything," Dark said pushing Wiz onto the bed.
"Alright," Wiz said, taking a deep breath. "One day I woke up in this strange room..."
Wiz' Story:
I opened my eyes. At first my vision was a bit blurry but then it cleared. The room I was in was very dark. Lifting my hands up I found that there was a glass dome over me. I touched my face and found that I was wearing an oxygen mask.
Laying back I put my feet on the glass and kicked it off. Then I took off the mask.
A nurse heard the smash of the dome hitting the ground. She came running in and saw me sitting there.
'Stay right there,' She said before running back out. When she came back she had a doctor with her. He came over and examined me.
'Can you walk?' He asked. I tried to stand but my legs felt weak and I collapsed. The doctor carried me to an empty hospital room and said that I had just woken up from a coma. He told me that I had amnesia and that my parents were missing. Since I couldn't remember my name they called me Wiz.
End
"I had only been at the hospital a few days before Dark found me, but during those days I kept having dreams and remembering stuff that had never happened to me."
"What did you dream about?" Daisuke asked. He seemed by now to have excepted the fact that he and Wiz were identical.
"My dreams were just like my memories only they were more realistic. The last one I had was right before Dark showed up. I had fallen asleep in my room before going to the Play Place to read to the kids. I dreamed that me and Dark were at school. It was lunchtime but we went to the art room instead. I painted a picture of Dark. Then I woke up."
Dark and Daisuke were staring at Wiz like he had two heads. Then they looked at each other. Dark broke the silence by saying, "That really happened. Today at school Daisuke and I skipped lunch so that he could paint a picture of me in the art room."
Now it was Wiz' turn to stare at them.
"You mean my dreams-"
"- are my memories."
"Cool you guys can finish each others sentences!" Dark said.
"Dark what if he's a- a clone?" Daisuke asked.
"I heard on the news that all clones have to have a mark of some kind on the back of their hand..."
Wiz showed them an oddly shaped red mark on the back of his right hand.
"Woa. This is just to weird," Dark said.
"But- I don't have a clone," Daisuke said immediately shooting into denial.
"Apparently you do Dai."
"I'm a clone?" Wiz said. His eyes were filled with tears.
Dark looked at him. "Ah! Don't cry Wiz! It's okay. You're just like a normal person."
"Only I have this to prove that I'm not!" Wiz wailed showing them his hand again.
Daisuke went and sat down next to Wiz on the bed. They looked at each other for a moment. Wiz was trying not to cry. Daisuke was getting tears in his eyes himself, though he wasn't sure why. Without warning Daisuke threw his arms around Wiz and hugged him. Wiz burst into tears and buried his face in Daisuke's chest.
Dark just stood there watching his best friend hug his clone. How many guys can say they've seen that happen?
"So what are we going to do about this?" Dark asked leaning against the doorframe and crossing his arms.
Daisuke gave Wiz one final squeeze before releasing him and looking into the boy's eyes. They were a bit red and sort of puffy from crying. "We're going to keep him," Daisuke said. His tone was one that ended the conversation- no questions asked.
"I bet Emiko would let you live here. You can be pretend to be his long lost twin brother," Dark said addressing Wiz. The boy smiled and nodded, wiping his tears away with the back of sleeve.
"Mom won't be home until tomorrow so we should get some sleep. Wiz you can sleep with me in my bed and Dark you can sleep on the coach," Daisuke offered.
"Okay."
Daisuke left to set up the coach for Dark to sleep on.
Dark and Wiz stared at each other for awhile. Dark thought it was weird how they weren't talking, but Wiz seemed content to just stare at him. A long uncomfortable (at least for Dark) silence caused Dark to finally push off the doorframe and go stand in front Wiz. He still had his arms crossed as he studied the smaller boys face. He really was identical to Daisuke.
Wiz stared innocently back at Dark. Dark leaned forward and looked closer at him. "What are you doing?" Wiz asked when Dark's face was about two inches from his own.
"Do you have freckle on the bottom of your foot?"
"Huh?"
Dark rolled his eyes and grabbed Wiz' left foot pulling his sock off. "Daisuke has a freckle on the bottom of his left foot... Woah! You do have one! Alright you and Daisuke are identical- except you brush your hair."
Daisuke walked back in raising an eyebrow at Dark, who was still looking at Wiz' foot. Dark looked at him and smiled. "Okay... you can borrow a pair of my pjs Wiz. Here," Daisuke handed him a pair of his extra pajamas.
"Thanks."
Really Early the Next Morning
Wiz woke up first. Where am I? Oh right. I'm in Daisuke's room. Where's Daisuke? Wiz tried to roll over but felt someone behind him. There he is.
Quietly and carefully Wiz crawled out of bed. He opened the door slowly and snuck out. No one was awake as far as he could tell. Dark was on the couch. He could go see Dark. Maybe he was awake by now. Wiz crept into the living room and saw Dark sprawled out on the couch.
The red head knelt down in front of Dark's face hoping that the feeling of someone watching him would wake him up. He moved forward enough so that if Dark felt off the couch they would bang heads so hard both of them would probably get a concussion.
Dark was drooling a bit and he kept twitching leg. It was pretty funny, but Wiz didn't notice because he was busy staring intently at Dark's face. He had a very peaceful expression on. Wiz didn't want to wake him up, that's why he was staring at him so that if he did wake up it wouldn't be Wiz' fault. Well not entirely.
"Mmm," Dark rolled over. He opened his eyes, blinking a few times. "AH!" He jumped backwards seeing a pair of huge red eyes staring at him. "Dai? What are you doing here?"
"Wiz."
"What?"
"I'm Wiz. Not Daisuke."
"... oh. Right. Wiz. Hey what's up?" He asked stretching. "You nearly gave me a heart attack."
"Sorry."
"I have to go to the bathroom."
"Okay," Wiz said sitting back so that Dark could get up. Dark ruffled his hair as walked past. At first Wiz glared at Dark's back, but then he smiled. It felt funny having someone do that. No one had ever really touched him before. Besides Daisuke. Last night he had hugged him. Wiz decided that he liked hugs- and people messing up his hair.
Wiz crawled up on the coach. He lay down where Dark had just been. It was warm and felt inviting. He buried his face in the pillow before rolling over and falling asleep.
Dark walked back into the living room. "Wiz it's 5am! How can you- oh you're asleep. In my spot... I'll go sleep with Dai!"
Dark quietly slipped into Daisuke's room and climbed up the ladder to his bed. The little red head was curled up with a calm expression on his face. His breathing was rhythmic and he looked- well- adorable.
The violet haired teen stayed standing on the ladder. He leaned forward putting his elbows on the side of the bed and resting his chin on his hands.
Daisuke stirred at the disturbance that Dark had caused by leaning on the bed. His red eyes fluttered open.
"Dark?" He asked sleepily. "... go away." He rolled so that his back was facing his friend instead of his face. Dark crawled over the top of Daisuke so that he was now laying in front of the smaller boy.
"Daaark," Daisuke whined rolling over again. Dark got up on his hands and knees, putting one hand in front of Daisuke so that he could lean down in front of him. His head was upside down on Daisuke's pillow as he looked at his friend, wanting him to wake up.
Daisuke opened his eyes glaring.
"You look cute when you glare Dai."
"Stop it!" Daisuke said laughing. He rolled over again, only causing his face to run into Dark's chest. This made the red head laugh more as he snuggled up to the warm lump of Dark that was his best friend.
Dark lay back down wrapping his arms Daisuke. The smaller boy tried to snuggle closer, but he was already as close as he could get.
"Daisuke?"
Daisuke rolled over hearing the voice coming from his door. He didn't want to leave Dark's warm body, but Wiz was standing there rubbing his eyes looking very sleepy.
"Wiz! What is it?" He asked worming his way out of Dark's arms.
"I'm hungry."
"Me too," Dark agreed. "Dai will you make us breakfast?"
"Isn't my mom home yet?"
As if on cue Emiko could be heard in the kitchen yelling, "Daisuke! Breakfast is ready!"
"Be right there! Dark's here and we have- a surprise."
"Ooh a surprise! For me? Hurry up Dai I want to see it!"
Dark laughed. "She'll be surprised alright."
Daisuke hoped off his bed quickly running to the closet and pulling out two pairs of clothes. One for him and one for Wiz. Dark had his own clothes. The boys changed and then walked to the kitchen door. They weren't sure how to break it to Emiko, so they decided that Wiz would go in first, then Dark, then Daisuke.
"Okay Wiz. Go ahead," Daisuke said giving him a gentle push towards the door. Wiz walked into the kitchen and stood in front of the door.
"Good morning Daisuke!" Emiko greeted. Dark walked in behind Wiz and stood next to him. He smiled sweetly to Emiko.
"Ready for the surprise?" He asked giving a big grin and putting an arm around Wiz at the same time.
"Yes of course! What is it?" Emiko asked excitedly.
Daisuke walked in and stood on the other side of Wiz. The smile fell off Emiko's face. It was replaced by a look of pure shock. Why was there suddenly two Daisuke's? She didn't remember giving birth to twins.
His clone! How did it get here? The doctor said the clone would be in a vegetable state forever.
"Mom this is Wiz," Daisuke said slowly, studying his mother's face as he spoke for any signs of recognition. Anything that would give a clue to what was going on. "He's my clone."
