Sooo… sorry about the long wait. The first few weeks of school have been really hectic but here's the third chapter! YAY! (sorry, I'm a little hyper cuz I just got the first disc of Gravitation from Netflix and watched it and I LOVE it! )

Thanks so much for all your reviews. They mean a lot to me…. I never thought my story was good enough to get this many positive comments… I just kinda put it up for the hell of it…..

Well, anyway…. On to Chapter 3!

Chapter 3

For the next few weeks Daisuke avoided Satoshi as much as possible. Whenever he saw him, a deep blush would travel the length of his body. Even a tiny glimpse of that pale blue hair around a corner would make his heart pound. And the dreams were worse. (Or better if Daisuke should happen to be dreaming at the time.)

One afternoon at school Daisuke's teacher gave him a note telling him that he had clean-up duty in the art room that day. As he trudged along the hall to the art room he was daydreaming about Satoshi. How every day in class he would block out what the teacher was saying and stare at the back of his head. (Seeing as how Satoshi sat 3 seats down and 1 seat over from him.) He would look at the afternoon sun coming through the window and admire how it lit up Satoshi's beautiful blue hair. And how the strands barely touched the back of his neck… And Dark would tease him through every minute of it!

Before he knew it he had arrived at the art room. He sighed and pushed open the door, letting it close but not latch behind him. But who should come walking out of the back room just then? None other than Satoshi. Daisuke gasped and turned as red as his hair.

"Oh. Hi Daisuke." Satoshi said, putting down the box he was carrying, "I guess this means you have clean-up duty today too…"

"Y-yes." Daisuke could barely get the words out.

There was a short pause.

"There's something I want to ask you…" Satoshi said, not looking at Daisuke.

"What is it?" Daisuke's voice shook but Satoshi seemed not to notice.

"Why have you been avoiding me?"

"Oh, I… um… well…" Daisuke started.

"Never mind. It's not a big deal."

"But"-

But Satoshi interrupted him, "Okay, you erase the blackboards and I'll wash them"

"Sure…" Daisuke's blush receded a little.

As Daisuke got to work erasing the boards, Satoshi finished bringing the boxes of paintbrushes out of the back room and stacking them on the shelf.

While Daisuke was working on the boards, Satoshi walked over and asked, "Hey, could I have that sponge?" Without waiting for an answer, he reached across Daisuke's chest and arms to get it. Daisuke gasped and almost dropped the eraser he was using.

"Are you okay?" Satoshi asked.

"Erm… yeah, I'm fine" Daisuke said, regaining his composure. He tried to concentrate on the job at hand but as he stared at Satoshi out of the corner of his eye he felt himself slipping back into his daydreams…

Hey! Dark yelled in his mind, don't you have a JOB to be doing?

"Oh. Right." Daisuke said aloud

"What?" asked Satoshi, who had finished washing the boards and was now sorting drawing pencils into jars.

"Nothing!" Daisuke started across the room. "Here… let me help you" As he reached for some pencils, his hand brushed Satoshi's. It felt like an electric shock. Daisuke dropped the pencils but quickly bent to pick them up. Satoshi put down the ones he had and went to help Daisuke. As Satoshi bent down to help him, Daisuke couldn't help but stare into his bright blue eyes. Satoshi felt the stare and turned to face Daisuke. Their faces were just inches apart. All of a sudden, almost before he knew what he was doing, he had slipped an arm around Satoshi's waist and they were gently leaning towards each other. Daisuke knew that in an instant he would press his lips to Satoshi's and at that moment, that's all in the world he wanted. They were so close that Daisuke could feel Satoshi's warm breath on his lips… but just before their lips touched, they heard a noise from outside in the hall.

"Satoshi?" Saehara called from outside the door, "Are you in there?"

Satoshi gasped and both boys stood up as fast as they could, knocking over several pencil jars in the process. Hearing the sound, Saehara opened the door.

"Satoshi, there you are! I've been looking all over for you. Come on, I need to talk to you."

Satoshi shot Daisuke a look that seemed to say 'I'm sorry' before following Saehara out of the room.

End Chapter

Okay, so that was the third chapter. I have an idea for a certain part that comes a little later. I don't know what to do from here. (I say that at the end of every chapter don't I?) and I don't know how to end it… I don't even know if it WANTS to end soon. Guess we'll see… my hand's got a cramp from writing… owwie!
