Dark laughed as he joked with Dai on the way to school, "Hey, you, that's not nice,"
"But it's funny, you have to say that," Dai said, then playfully punched Dark in the arm. Dark grabbed it, then pretended to be in great pain, "Oww! I'm in pain!"
"Shut up," Dai said, then saw Satoshi leaning on leaning on a gate, waiting for them. He waved, then saw Dark go running forward to greet his friend. Dark didn't know that he had left Dai in a heap of trouble.
Some of Dark's school-friends had seen Dai talking with Dark the day before, and didn't like it. They even followed Dark to the place were he kissed Dai, and they REALLY didn't like that.
"Hey," One of them said, "Dai,"
When Dai turned to see who was calling him, he was punched pull force in the stomach, then in the face. He heard people laughing, then looked up, still hunching over. He didn't know why these people were doing this. He was forced up by his hair to look into the menacing eyes of the demon. He looked over and saw that Dark was struggling weather or not to come and punch their lights out. Dai just smiled and gave him a look that said, 'it's okay, you don't want to ruin your reputation,'
Dark eased, but that didn't stop his heart from breaking at the smile Dai gave him. Dai cared so much about Dark that he was willing to get beaten up for Dark's reputation? They Hit Dai in the stomach hard again, then laughed as he hunched over and spat out blood. Dark gasped as he felt a light breeze then saw a flash of blue. He swayed slightly when he saw Satoshi holding up on of the boys by the collar.
Satoshi punched the guy in the face, then felt someone punch him in the face. He turned around to see another one of those guys. Satoshi kneed the guy in the stomach, then felt another pain in his stomach. He hunched over and got punched again. He looked over as another guy kicked Dai in the stomach. He heard a defining swish of air as the boys all froze. Satoshi looked over to see Dark standing there, his eyes glowing. The boys looked were Satoshi was looking, and nearly screamed, "D-D-Dark! We were just having some fu-f-fun!"
"Get out of here," Dark mumbled, and there was puffs of smoke, were the boys had started to run. Dark's eyes were hard as he walked over to Dai and kneeled down to him.
Dai flinched as Dark touched his stomach lightly,
"Why did you do that?" Dark asked, then helped Dai to his feet, "why?"
"I'm used to it by now," Dai said, then smiled up at Dark, "You're going to be late. Go ahead of me,"
"No!" Dark yelled, then lowered his voice, "I'm not going to leave you, ever again,"
Dai smiled, then tried to take a step forward, but almost fell. He sank to his knees, then looked up at Dark, "You go and see how Satoshi is, I'll make it,"
"Didn't you just hear me? I'll never leave you again," Dark said, then looked up to see Satoshi standing over them with a huge smile on his face, "That was either the stupidest thing I've ever done, or the smartest,"
He let out a laugh, "I think I'll take the answer as the smartest,"
Dai smiled, then let Dark help him up, "I told you, I'm used to this,"
Dark cringed, "Don't remind me,"
Dai smiled, then looked up at Satoshi, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine," He said, then put up his arms and showed his muscles, "Tough as nails!"
Dai laughed, then smiled with his eyes shining.
Dark sighed as he walked out of his last class. Everyone in the entire school had heard about him sticking up for and angel. Well, it wasn't much worse for Satoshi. He isn't the popular kid anymore, and all of his friends ditched hi, (Except for Dark of course)
Well, it went even worse for Dai. He got pushed and punched. He was getting picked on, and hurt worse than he had in his life.
Dark waited for Satoshi and Dai at the gate, like ha always did. He gasped when he saw Dai.
Daisuke was limping and grasping his stomach. He had bruises all over his face, and an eye was swollen shut. His left arm was limply at his side, and it looked like he was painfully dragging his right leg. He walked forward, and then gasped in pain. Dai's wings were in tatters, having a scarce amount of feathers left on them. His wings and body was covered in blood. His wings were soaked in it, so much that you couldn't tell that they were any other color than deep red.
Dai smiled when he saw Dark, then walked forward. He unconsciously fell to his knees and whimpered in pain. He felt a presence at his side, then looked to see Dark's violet eyes, "Hey,"
"Hey, yourself," Dark said, then saw Satoshi kneel next to Dai as well,
"C'mon, let's go," He said, then slid his arm around Daisuke's waist. Dark put his arm around Dai's shoulder and smiled, "Let's go, buddy,"
FEW DAYS LATER SATURDAY:
Dai sighed as he knocked on the door to Dark's house.
"Dark! Open the door!" Daisuke yelled, pounding on the door. He didn't want to intrude, and he didn't even know if the door was open.
He looked up as it started to heavily snow. Dai rubbed his arms and breathed a great sigh. He had gone to 7-11 for Dark, and since it wasn't that for away, he hadn't taken a jacket. He didn't remember Dark locking the door. Dai looked up in thought, then remembered Dark saying that he was going to go get Satoshi, then come right back. Well, Dai could wait.
Dai sat down on the front step, and put the food and snacks to the side. He wondered how long Dark would be. Well, he'll be home soon for sure. He remembered Dark telling him to get the stuff because Satoshi was coming over. That was good. Dai liked having Satoshi over.
He sighed and saw his breath come out in a great breath of smoke. He laughed, then felt his shirtless arms grow freezing. His fingertips and wings began to numb, be he shook it off, "He'll be back,"
DARK AND SATOSHI:
Dark ran up Satoshi's walkway and knocked heavily on the door. He waited then heard voices, "One minute!"
Satoshi opened the door with a big smile, then gleamed, "Dark! Just who I wanted to see!"
"Hey, you still coming over!"
"Yeah!" Satoshi exclaimed, then opened the door wider, "Wait! I need to show you something really cool!"
"How long will it take?"
"Only a minute I promise!" Satoshi exclaimed, then smiled, "You'll love it!"
Dark followed Satoshi into his house and wondered where the hell they were going. He looked around, then smiled, "Oh! Satoshi!"
Dark looked up at the giant huge screen television. Dark gleamed, "How much did this thing cost!"
"My grandmother bought it for me! It has cable, surround sound, and great color! You need to watch something on it!"
"Of course!" Dark said, then plopped down on the couch. 'Dai will remember to go inside, wont he? Of course he will!' Dark thought, then watched Satoshi sit next to him and smile.
DAI:
Dai leaned back onto the door. It has been two hours, and Dai's body was completely numb, and he was starting to feel lightheaded. He sighed and started to smile. He was thinking of Dark, and was sire he was on his way. Dai was sure.
Dai felt his eyes grow heavy, and he didn't feel anything anymore. He was sure…Dark was on his way. Dai smiled again then thought of what fun Dark, him, and Satoshi would have. Dai grew even number, as the snow piles grew on his body. He was almost covered in snow. He felt his arms go totally limp at his sides, then he sighed. He closed his eyes halfway, then was sure, Dark was on his way. He was, he really was on his way.
Dai smiled even wider, he was going to be nice and warm in Dark's arms soon. He would see that shining face, bright cheeks, and be home. Dai would be brave, and ask if Dark wanted to get married after college. They could say farewell to Satoshi and move to the country. Were they would grow and run in huge fields of grass. They would grow great, vibrant flowers, and live happily.
Dai smiled wearily as he closed his eyes, never to be opened again.
Dark smiled as Satoshi ran forward to Dark's house, eager to see Dai. Satoshi smiled, then turned onto Dark's walkway. He dropped the few things he was carrying and froze. Instantly, hot tears fell down his face as he looked in horror. He started on a walk, then ran.
Dark was confused at Satoshi's sudden emotional outburst. He walked up, to look at what Satoshi was looking at.
Dark nearly died on the spot.
There he was, Dai sitting there, on the front step. He was leaning back on the door, with a look of pure calm on his face. He was smiling, and looked like he was in deep thought.
Dai was frozen, he had waited for three hours on that single step. Dark ran to were Dai was and felt tears drop down his face.
Dark looked down, and saw that Dai had been writing something in the snow. It must have been unconditional, because it was sloppy. It said, 'I love you,'
