Thank you for reviewing! I love you all!

Chapter 3

Water and the First Night

((Satoshi's POV))

"So, what do you want to do, Hiwatari-kun?" Kiss you and get you to stop calling me such a formal title.

"Let's go to the beach." Well, at least let me see you without a shirt, if I can't kiss you yet.

I let him change in the bathroom, and I changed in the main part. I finished changing before him. We headed to the beach. As it turned out, there were a lot of other people there from our class, too.

"Hi Daisuke-kun!" Risa called and ran up to him, instantly draping herself off of his arm. Daisuke didn't seem to like it, but there was nothing I could do to save him without seeming strange.

"Let's go swimming!" Daisuke said, trying to free himself. Daisuke and I ran into the water, but its coldness subdued Risa. I was glad I could see underwater. I dove under and swam in circles around him as he tried to figure out where I was. I got a good view of his from almost all angles. Except the one I really wanted: him under me.

I decided to surface right in front of him.

((Daisuke's POV))

Satoshi was gone! I looked everywhere, but it was hard, because I couldn't see underwater. Something's up.

"I hope he's okay."

Then you like him too?

"No. He's my friend."

Suddenly, he was right in front of me.

"Gahck!" I screamed.

He smiled deviously. "You should learn to see underwater. I've been swimming circles around you." The other guys laughed at me. I frowned and blushed.

"That was mean!"

At least he didn't try to kiss you.

"Shut up! He's not a fruit!"

So dreaming about you isn't a symptom of being gay?

"Be quiet."

Suddenly, Riku glomped me from behind, causing me to fall on top of Satoshi. He wasn't expecting it, so he fell backwards with a splash. Everyone watched as I emerged from the water. I felt cold, and everyone was laughing. Satoshi grinned evilly and handed me my swim trunks. My eyes widened.

"You shouldn't strip in front of the ladies." he said evilly. I blushed and snatched my shorts, kneeling down to put them on.

And I thought he would wait until we were in the hotel before trying anything.

"What should I do? He's not straight, but I am! And he likes me!"

Didn't you just spend the past week trying to convince me that he's not gay?

"Please! I need your help!"

No.

"I hate you."

((Satoshi's POV))

I don't know why I did that. I was glad that the majority interpreted it as a prank and nothing more, but I think Daisuke knew what I really wanted. I saw him without a shirt, but I wanted to see him without anything. Well, one more thing to cross off my things-to-do-on-vacation list.

We headed back to the room. Daisuke had eaten a huge dinner, but now he was tired, and it was pretty late, so we were heading in. We were the fifth pair to go.

I slid the card through the slot.

"Please try different key." A feminine mechanical voice said.

"Let me try." said Daisuke. He stepped forward and did… something. He door opened.

"I didn't know you had a key." I said.

"I do." He seemed uneasy as he replied. I still didn't think he had a key. Heck, sometimes it was as if he was Dark, instead of Dark's victim.

He changed in the bathroom and I changed in the main part. It was a warm night, so I decided to sleep in my boxers. Daisuke did, too. He seemed uneasy as he climbed into bed next to me.

I decided to try something.

((Daisuke's POV))

It was sort of scary: being in the same bed as someone who likes you like that. I turned around and tried to ignore him, but it was not to be. I could feel his hot breath going down my neck. He was awfully close.

But I relaxed. I had decided to trust him for tonight. And if he did something creepy, Dark would get to use my body to peep on the girls, which would almost certainly get me in trouble.

His arms snaked around me. He was hugging me, and there wasn't much I could do if he chose to do something strange. I was completely vulnerable. It was frightening.

I could feel his warm, strong body pressed against mine. I was tensed, ready to do something, anything, if he tried something. But I knew there was nothing I could do, if he chose to take me.

"Can't sleep?" he asked, in a seductive tone. I almost relaxed, before his tongue touched my neck. I was really tense, now. He had me in his hands, he was licking my neck, and there wasn't anything I could do about it.

"Sa…to…shi…" I murmured, scared. Suddenly, I was facing him. I gulped as he grinned.

"You've been teasing me." he said. "Taunting me. Every time I look at you, you're vulnerable, as if you want to tempt me. Well now I'm going to show you what I've always wanted to do."

He kissed me. My eyes widened and Dark barfed before doing a victory dance. But somehow, I found myself opening my mouth to him, deepening the kiss I had dreaded. His tongue butted against mine, and though, somewhere in the back of my mind I was screaming 'NO!' I enjoyed it.

When he finally pulled away, I was breathing hard. My eyes were wide. "Sa….to…shi…" I stared at him before getting up and fleeing, not so much to get away from him as to get away from myself.

"Why did I do that! I could have fought him, made it known that I was scared, but I deepened it! He probably thinks I like him, too. And I'm not so sure I don't anymore. But I can't! I'm straight! Aren't I? Did I really dislike that? But!…"

I was in the woods now, running up hill. Dark chose that moment to come back from where ever he had been.

Daisuke, that was gross. I told you he was a creep, but would you listen? No. He's an underage pedophile!

"How does that work?"

He's obviously more mature than he should be! And you're not as mature as you ought to be!

"Hey!"

It's true. And, hey, wasn't that your first kiss? Ewwww! You're first kiss was a guy!

"It's not my fault."

Yes it is. You could have run away earlier! And you owe me an hour!

"An hour!"

That was the agreement.

Suddenly, I fell. I was too weak to go further. I lay there, knowing that there was blood seeping out of my ankle but not caring. I didn't even know what my sexuality was any more. Every thing else could wait until I figured that out. And that would take a while.

Soon, I passed out from blood loss, far from the trail, in the middle of the woods, at the top of a steep hill. It was at least two hours sprint to get anywhere with other people, and I wasn't about to do a two hour sprint.

((Satoshi's POV))

I could almost hear Krad tell me off. I had rushed it, and now Daisuke was probably never going to talk to me again. I was truly alone, for the first time in as long as I could remember, without even Krad to terrorize me.

I curled up where Daisuke had been and stayed there, my tears falling to the still-warm sheets. I should have committed suicide earlier. Now I was too depressed to even throw myself over the balcony.

((Mary's POV))

I walked into room 217 for room service. There wasn't a 'Do not disturb.' hanging of the door, so I walked right in. On the bed was a cute young bluenette, who seemed to have cried himself to sleep. This was one of the school rooms, and the thing was, there were two to a room.

His roommate was gone. "Oh, poor guy. I bet he was lonely." I called Anna, the other maid working on the school rooms. She came over, and between the two of us, we got the boy to a sickroom.

"So, Mary, where do you think the other boy is?"

"I don't know, Anna. I don't know."

monchi I love your reviews. As I said patience. There shall be a lemon, but I will take my sweet time in writing it. After all, the lemon would be the end of the fanfic, and I don't do short fanfics. Don't worry, Daisuke'll get laid sooner or later. There's just a lot planned between now and then. Satoshi probably does need acupuncture, luckily this is at a hot springs, so he can relax there.

darkest moon You think that was a teaser? Oh, no, there is worse in store. There will be much worse. evil grin

Please review. I absolutely LOVE your reviews, and I refuse to put out the next chapter until I get some. Actually, the next chapter is already written, I just want to see what you think of this one first.
