The blonde had insisted that Dark came over at least three days a week to keep the man from having to live off of cold sandwiches and water. Dark had been coming over that much, if not a little more often.
Now Dark had decided (without Krad's help) to come with them on their annual camping trip. Krad had put it off long enough that it was almost Fall by the time they got around to it.
Krad watched as his little blue-haired brother and the man of his (day) dreams shoved their countless amounts of luggage in the back of Krad's small sportscar.
The blonde felt a hand grab his pants leg suddenly. Glancing down, he saw big, shiny red eyes.
Daisuke smiled up at Krad, hugging his bunny under one arm. "I never went camping before! Is it fun?"
Krad shrugged a shoulder and detached the toddler's hand from his leg, "If you like bugs and giant bears…"
Dark and Satoshi came over to join them, having finished loading the car. Dark swooped down and swept Daisuke up into his arms, twirling the toddler in the air before facing Krad again. "We're all done loading the car."
Krad patted the head of Satoshi, who glared at Dark for taking Daisuke away. "Well, let's get going, then. It's a two-hour drive."
Krad buckled Satoshi into his car seat. The blue-haired boy pouted, "I don't like this thing."
The blonde snickered and patted his little brother's leg. "It's for your own good." He closed the door and went to lock up the house.
Satoshi glanced over at Daisuke. The tiny red-head was playing with his bunny's ear and thinking deeply. Satoshi also noticed that Dark had placed a large box of gummies and snacks in between them, undoubtedly on purpose. He frowned.
Krad strapped his own seatbelt after checking the toddlers' again. Dark climbed into the front passenger's seat and grinned over at him.
"A week of swimming, fishing and relaxing!" He tucked his hands behind his head. "This is gonna be great."
Krad raised an eyebrow and started the car. "I wouldn't count on it."

"S-slow down, will ya!"
Krad glanced over at the nervous black-haired man. "I thought that young men like to drive fast…" It was more a statement then a question.
"Generally I do! But only when I'M driving!"
Krad smirked, "What? Don't trust me?"
Dark gave a forced laugh, "Oh no, I trust you—I just wish you'd slow down a little around some of these turns!"
Krad just giggled and smiled at Dark, "Where are we now?"
Dark yanked the forgotten map up, quickly scanning it before dropping it to hold onto his seat edge. "Make a left here and then it's just straight!"
"Okay." The blonde veered the car around the corner so fast that Dark swore he felt the tires lift from the ground on one side.
The black-haired man sighed in relief at the sight of the long, straight road ahead.

Though it hadn't been his favorite car trip, Satoshi had still managed to snuggle the red-head half the way there. After eating the box of cookies, gummies, candy bars, mints, jellybeans and countless other sweets from in between them, he had beaten Dark at his game, and Daisuke had slept against his shoulder.
Satoshi gently woke the tiny angel as the car pulled to a stop at their grassy little camp spot. It was a small clearing with worn trails leading off into the woods and down to the lake.
"Come on, out of the car." Krad opened the door and tooked Satoshi out of his seat, sitting him on the ground. Satoshi made his way around the car to meet Daisuke. The blue-haired toddler blinked, trying to clear his suddenly-blurry vision. His head felt dizzy and his stomach hurt.
Daisuke came over and looked at him. "Are you okay?"
-> -> ->
Krad tugged on his backpack--it was stuck. "Dark, how did you cram all of this stuff in here!"
Dark shrugged and smiled, "With a lot of pushing."
Krad sighed, "Then you can help me get them out with a lot of pulling!"
Daisuke suddenly came tearing aroud the car and grabbed Dark's leg. "Satoshi sick! He's gonna die!" He started wailing and Dark picked him up.
"Sick?" Krad asked, hurrying back around the car to Satoshi.

"Didn't that teach you something, Satoshi?" Krad repeated as his tucked Satoshi into a nest made from blankets in the seat of the car.
Satoshi gave a tiny nod and curled up, burying his face in the covers. Daisuke crawled in the other door and then under the covers.
"Are you okay, Satoshi?" He asked cutely, patting the other boy on the head.
"Yeah…" Was the only reply. Krad closed the door and went to set up the tents with Dark. The toddlers sat in silence for a minute.
"…Why'd you eat all that candy?"
Satoshi turned over and hugged the red-head, "So I could hug you."

"They aren't exactly big…" Dark mumbled, staring at the two six-by-eight-foot tents.
"No, not really." Krad shrugged a shoulder. "The supplies can just stay in the car."
Dark stared at the blonde. "……."
Krad glanced at him and asked curiously. "…What?"
Dark just smiled lazily and headed back to the car.
Krad followed, "What? What were you staring at me for?"
Dark quickened his pace, "Ah, nothing…"
Krad glared at him the whole time while they dug out the blankets, and then the whole time while he made lunch.
Dark wasn't bothered; he seemed to be continously amused by something Krad couldn't figure out. This irked the blonde to no end.
Satoshi had recovered by lunchtime, and he and Daisuke were now romping happily around the back of the camp. Krad watched them as they played, seeing it as a good distraction. They seemed so happy and carefree about having each other around. They both smiled and seemed like nothing in the world could separate them.
They say that everyone has a soulmate…
Dark leaned into Krad's view, "Hey there, goldy. Lunch was great!"
Krad frowned at him, "Leave me alone unless you're going to stop grinning like that."
Dark slowly grinned yet again. Krad glared at him. The blonde silently scrubbed the dishes, Dark's wide grin still visible out of the corner of his eye.
"Stop that!" Krad snarled, holding a dish up threateningly.
Dark laughed and stood up from where he was sitting, "Alright, alright. I'll go fish." He was still snickering as he disappeared out of Krad's sight.
Krad grumpily washed the dishes.

"And what's this?" Daisuke held up a tiny green leaf.
"That's a dandylion." Satoshi carefully took the leaf and examined it.
Daisuke stared at him, "Satoshi?"
The blue-haired boy looked at him, "What?"
Daisuke smiled, "I love you." He laughed cutely, "I never had a friend as nice as you. You're so much fun!" He gave Satoshi a big bear-hug.
Satoshi hugged back, "I-I… love you too."
Daisuke let go and smiled at him, "Thank you for loving me!"
Satoshi smiled back, "You're welcome, Dai-dai."
Daisuke grabbed his hand and tugged him along, "The lake's this way!"
