Chapter 8: Acceptance

Satoshi was, or so he thought, the first to wake up from the panicked sound of coughing. He looked around; it was coming from the other room. Krad was already gone because he was no longer in his warm embrace. He got up and heard voices as he became fully awake.

As Satoshi adjusted to the darkness, he saw Krad run by the door. He followed and saw that Daisuke was holding Dark as Krad placed a wet facecloth on him. "Is Dark sick?" the boy asked. 'Okay, stupid question.'

"Satoshi, he has a fever, it's all my fault, I made go into the rain, I made him get this way, me! Me!" Daisuke yelled as the tears fell down his face.

"Don't cry Daisuke…" The boy looked down into the hazy purple eyes of his counterpart as he spoke. Dark smiled. "It's a simple cold, no big deal. Just, don't cry…you look cute when you're happy…"

"But, I was so mean and I should have at least paid some attention to you!" Satoshi and Krad decided to leave the room. They left the bowl of water there and closed the door.

"C'mon, we can find some medicine while they make up." Satoshi said and they walked upstairs.

Daisuke looked at the thief. "You're not ….mad at me?" he asked and the boy gasped.

"Mad at you? You should be mad at me, for all I've done!" Daisuke fought back more tears as his voice cracked and Dark winched as he got a headache.

"I could never be mad at you, Dai-chan…I, I love you and I don't care if you like Riku or Risa instead of me, but I needed you to know…" The thief had just managed to say that before he began to cough, quickly getting up and running to the bathroom.

Luckily, it was on the first floor and Dark made it to the sink, splashing himself with the cold water. He felt warm, yet cold at the same time. Daisuke waited for him, thinking about what he had said. 'Why isn't he mad? Did he just say he loved me? What about Rika? What if his memory comes back and he doesn't care about me...'

Krad and Satoshi returned as they heard the bathroom door shut and went to see Daisuke. Krad looked for a cup to pour the cherry smelly liquid in. "Daisuke? What's wrong?" The detective asked as Krad returned victoriously smirking with a measuring cup.

"Dark…he said he loved me…but I was so mean to him…" the red eyed boy confessed. Krad sat beside him.

"You know, the reason he's here is to make sure you are happy." The blonde said, stopping the boy's tears. "He will always respect you, and because he remembered you out of his entire memory that means that you are important to him, and no one else."

'That's right! Dark didn't even know about Rika! He came to me so why am I being doubtful? I have to tell him!' the two watched as the boy dried his tears and got up. He was going to tell Dark that he cared about him as well and maybe they could forget that this ever happened.

He heard coughing and running water. He decided to go in. "Dark?" he asked, slowly opening the door. "Are you okay?"

"……..Daisuke?" Daisuke could see that he was trying to rest and couldn't resist the urge to cuddle him. Dark was curled in a ball on the floor, the water was on him and the red head stared at the wide hazy eyes…

"Dark, I'm so sorry, please forgive me…I was wrong…" Dark slowly pulled himself into a sitting position.

"Dai-chan…"

"Umm, not to interrupt but Dark needs to take his medicine." Satoshi said and Krad gently picked up the thief as they left the room. Dark was placed in the guest room and given his medicine.

"Dai-chan, that will bring his fever down so stay with him, if it rises, tell us immediately." Satoshi said. "C'mon, Krad. Let's get some rest. I bet you're tired."

Dark drifted to sleep but not before he heard Daisuke's words. "I love you, with or without your memories…"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Daisuke woke up the next morning to find Dark's arm around him. He smiled and went closer to him. He snuggled against his black shirt and looked at the sleeping face. 'He's perfect...' Daisuke traced his hand over the sleeping angel. 'In every way...so beautiful and he's the one I love. Dark.'

"Mmm…Daisuke…" the boy heard the words escape Dark's lips and smiled. Carefully, he pressed his hand to feel his forehead and was relieved when there was no fever. H let out a sigh and inched over Dark's face…

"He's still pale…how could I let him run away like he did…he's the only thing I care about and I want to help him." He felt his heart beat faster as he placed a soft kiss on the thief's soft lips.

Daisuke blushed and moved away. 'What am I thinking! I'm taking advantage of someone who's sick!' A soft moan made him turn and he saw that Dark was holding his head from the splitting headache he had.

"Dark, Dark are you alright? Would you like anything?" Daisuke asked, more concerned than ever.

Dark propped himself on his arm and faced him. His eyes had their sparkle that first captured Daisuke's heart and he wore a sweet smile on his face. "Yeah, I would like you." That was all he said before he attached himself to the boy.

"Well, it sure seems that they've forgiven each other." Krad said and Satoshi grinned. They were watching from the window. It was mostly Krad's idea to see if everything would work out and Satoshi had agreed. Luckily, they were well disguised.

"Is this right?" Krad asked his tamer as they saw Dark snuggle against Daisuke's chest like a small animal.

"Alright, let's find something else to do." The blue-eyed boy said and Krad flew them down. Yes, they were in a tree…

"You know…" Satoshi said, stating a conversation. "I could call in sick from school. I bet Niwa wouldn't mind."

"Oh my, what a dirty mind you have." Krad received a glare. "I'm kidding. Dark was out all night and I'm sure that Daisuke's family wouldn't mind either."

"Then it's settled, I'll call the school then Niwa's parents. Krad, can you make some soup. It might help our guest." Krad nodded and went off. 'He's really cute when he's flustered.' Satoshi thought as he watched the blonde go.

'Daisuke...thank you. When you are near, all the pain vanishes; please stay with me... always...' Dark thought as the boy gently stroked his hair…
