Chapter Four: You're Not For Me, But I'm for You

05/09/2005, CY

Disclaimer: I do NOT own DNAngel.

AN: Sorry for posting it late, I had a cold and then when I got it on the computer I forgot the first half at home! Arrrg! Not to mention all the car trouble, school and Harvest Moon. - What can I say? Life's busy. And my sister insists on watching other Anime so I start daydreaming about that and then I come to the end of my outline! Anyhow, I got it all together now. All I have to do is listen to Satoshi's image song and WAM! I feel like I could never leave DNAngel's fandom again! Ya know, Krad also has a pretty sexy voice!

Special AN:

You guys have made me feel so happy. I almost cried when I saw that this had 65 reviews. That is the most reviews any story I have ever written has had. I hope you guys stick with this because I just finished an outline for when the boys are ten. For those of you who want me to update faster, I'm trying my best. I'm not a born writer and I have a hard time writing dialogue and description. This story just broke the boundaries as my first four-chapter fanfic. Thank you all so much for your reviews and for your support of this story. I think you may just kill me with the joy of it all!

My mom has scared me several times by saying that maybe she should read it. Eh heh. I'm not ready to tell her I write yaoi. The time will come soon enough.

Please enjoy.

"Ugh…" Dark flopped back in his chair before turning to dig his lunch out of his suitcase. Slamming the sandwich box down, he lazily pondered the last evening's happenings. Wonder what his name was… I forget. Dark grinned to himself as he unwrapped his sandwich. An image of the gold-eyed man's face appeared in Dark's mind. Hmm, gold eyes…

He bit into his sandwich… Or what he thought was his sandwich and was really his fingers. Quietly cursing to himself, he shook his hand. Only ever done that when thinking about a girl! He snickered and ate his lunch.

Krad felt his heart race as the taller man leaned closer and closer—"Yeee!" Krad waved his free arm frantically in an attempt to regain his balance on the short ladder. Finally steadying himself, he smirked. Okay, no more daydreaming on the job! He sighed and took a few misplaced books off the shelf, adding them to the armload he already had. I already have to work late today… What a drag.

There was a loud snap as the top step gave way, sending Krad and his armload of books crashing to the floor--after he hit the book cart, of course. Groaning as he dug his way out of the pile, Krad sat next to the mess and rubbed his head, cringing. Not my day--

"Not your day, is it Krad?" His thoughts were interrupted by a cheerful voice. Krad looked up to see a familiar grinning face.

"Keiji," He sighed, climbing clumsily to his feet. "Shouldn't you be helping someone?"

The young man laughed.

"Looks like you need more help then them!" Krad scowled at him and started picking up the books. Keiji smiled and helped. "Is something bothering you Krad?" His friend prodded, stacking an armload of books back on the cart.

"No, Kei. It's nothing."

The short blonde squinted at him, "You sure? You're never this clumsy unless something's bugging you." Keiji put a hand on Krad's shoulder. "Come on. Tell me." Krad shrugged his hand off and leaned to grab more books. "Ooo-oooh. I know.." Keiji leaned down next to him. "It's a guy, isn't it?" Krad stood and shoved books back on the shelf.

"So what if it is?"

The short blonde squeaked and jumped to his feet. "What's his name? Huh? Huh? Is he cute? Is he rich?"

Krad rubbed his forehead, "It's none of your business."

"Oh come on! I've been your only friend for years! Tell me!" Keiji threw his arms around Krad's waist. "Tell me, tell me!"

The blonde struggled, "It's the same as always, idiot!" Keiji let go and blinked at him.

"That black-haired guy again?"

Krad nodded.

"There's lots of good looking guys out there!" Keiji paused and thought for a moment. "Okay, maybe not that good looking, but hey, can't be too picky."

"Yes, I know." They finished putting the books away.

Keiji grinned and patted Krad's arm. "He's probably a real idiot. You should get over him before you get in too deep. Though, two years is a long time to have a crush..." He started mumbling and Krad couldn't hear what he was saying.

"I guess you're right. I have to just give up on him..." Krad hugged himself and thought back on the way his crush had smiled at him. He was so nice...

Keiji leaned forward and stared at him. "Whoa whoa! What happened! You didn't talk to him did you!" Krad gave a little shrug as reply. "What was it!"

The gold-eyed man sighed, "He's straight, okay?"

"No way! A guy like that? How do you know?"

"I talked to him." The image of the man's shocked and disgusted face came to Krad's mind. "He was grossed out."

"Grossed out by what!" Keiji grabbed Krad's shoulders and shook him gently. "What was it! What happened!" Krad popped back to reality and shook his head.

"It's nothing, Kei." He pulled away from his friend and headed off down the aisles. "Leave me alone."

8:34 already. The nineteen-year-old grabbed his jacket. Having to dodge Keiji makes me tired. He yawned, "Have to go get Satoshi…"

"YO!" Krad turned to see Keiji tearing up beside him.

"You." Krad muttered.

The younger man smiled, "Feel like talking now?" Krad waved a hand.

"I'm sorry for being grumpy, Kei. It's just depressing."

"Eh, don't give up yet." Keiji slung an arm over Krad's shoulders. "Maybe he likes both!" Krad stared at him.

"You're sick, Kei." Keiji grinned at him.

"And I'm proud to be so!" He kissed Krad's cheek and waved, strolling to the door. "See ya tomorrow, Krad."

Krad returned his wave and started to his car.

Dark stretched and yawned, resting his arms behind his head. Got off half an hour early! He grinned, heading up the walkway to the 'Rainbow's Gold' daycare center. Opening the second door, Dark walked in. Inside was a short desk with a brunette lady sitting behind it.

"Good evening Mr. Mousey." Dark grimaced at the use of his last name.

"Hi," he glanced around, "where's-" A little blue-haired boy caught his eye. Hey, isn't that that guy's little brother?

It was, and there was Daisuke, sitting beside him. Both toddlers were happily playing some hand game and talking.

"Where's who, sir?" Berty asked, cocking her head.

Dark waved a hand, "Never mind. Hey Daisuke!" He smiled as his little brother ran to hug his leg.

"Hi Dark!" Daisuke smiled up at him cutely. "How are you?"

"I'm off early tonight, so I thought we'd grab some ice cream or something."

"Yay! Ice cream!" The four year old threw his arms up in the air and ran to hug onto his blue-eyed companion. He turned and stared up at Dark. "Can Satoshi come, too?"

Dark scratched his head, "I dunno. I think his brother and him're heading home."

"Yes, we are." Dark blinked and stared back to see the blonde standing by the bench. He came over next to Dark. "Let's go, Satoshi."

Dark smiled and waved, "Hello." Krad looked at him and quickly led his brother out the door. Dark grabbed Daisuke and dragged him after. "Hey blondy!" The other man slowed down and watched him catch up.

"Yes?" He asked. Satoshi and Daisuke quickly ran ahead, the little red-head glomming onto the other's arm.

Dark smirked and started walking slowly alongside the gold-eyed man. "Long day, huh?" He watched Krad. He sure is quiet compared to yesterday...

"Yes. I had to work late."

Dark laughed, "Isn't that ironic! I got off early!" He snickered, then glanced at the slender guy. Gotta say something! "So where do you work?"

"At the library."

Dark cocked his head, "You're a librarian?"

"Yes."

Dark blinked, That's odd... "At this library?"

The blonde nodded.

No way! But- "You must go in disguise or something because I've been there thousands of times and never saw you before!" Dark laughed, He must be lying!

"I..." Krad paused, "work in the back."

"Oh." In the back? Dark rubbed his head, Maybe...

"Um," The blonde turned to him. "Where do you work?"

Dark smiled at him. "I'm a historian." He shrugged. "I memorize facts and such."

"Ah." Was the only reply as they arrived at the cars and Dark noticed that Daisuke was opening the door for Satoshi to climb into Dark's car.

Krad also seemed to noticed, and frowned. "Satoshi!" The little boy jumped and stared at him. "What do you think you're doing!"

Satoshi blinked at him and Dark noticed the same cute look that Daisuke gave him when he knew he was in trouble. "I'm going home with Daisuke."

The blonde looked slightly shocked, "You're what!"

"I'm going home with Daisuke." The toddler repeated.

"No you're not!"

Satoshi stared at him, trying his best to look as small and cute as possible, "Please?"

Dark grinned as Krad stomped over and glared at Satoshi. Guess I'm not the only guy frustrated with his little brother.

"Get in the car! It's getting late and I want to-" The blonde blinked in surprise as his little brother sat in the wrong car. "Not that car! MY car!" The toddlers hugged each other before the blue-haired one went and crawled unhappily into the right car. He stared longingly back at Daisuke, who returned the look.

The blonde waved at Dark, "Good night. I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay." Dark watched him get in the car and leave. Nice guy. Dark rubbed his head, Now what was his name...?

AN: Well. Here it is. The fourth chapter to Slowmance. I'm so happy I got this chapter finished! Sorry it's posted so late! Just as I got it finished today the internet cut out! STUPID OLYPEN! GO OFF AND DIE! A-hem. See you next time, but first; enjoy the outtakes!

Outtakes:

Number One:

There was a loud snap as the top step gave way, sending Krad and his armload of books crashing to the floor--after he hit the book cart, of course.

At the end of the day….

Keiji stared as Krad staggered towards him. As the blonde stopped in front of him, he noticed that his head, leg, upper left arm, ankle, pinky finger and jaw were all in casts/bandages and recognized what had happened. "You were daydreaming again, weren't you?"

"Jhust shuht op!" The blonde growled.

Number Two:

Satoshi blinked at him and Dark noticed the same cute look that Daisuke gave him when he knew he was in trouble. "I'm going home with Daisuke."

The blonde looked slightly annoyed, "Not until you're older!"

Dark stared, "What do you mean 'not until you're older'! They're four for crying out loud! He didn't mean it that way!"

Satoshi blinked at him and said flatly, "How do you know?"

Bonus:

Random Slowmance Fact:

Krad reads Satoshi physics as bed time stories.
