4 months later (Night Time)

It's been many months, Dark and Krad's life has been very awkward, with them running their bakery Chiroru, and Krad having cravings and mood swings, plus the built up tension for both males is very stressing. After closing up shop about an hour ago, both of them are exhausted.

"Dark" Krad yells from the living room couch.

"What?" Dark answers from a room in the house.

"Come help me up, I have to pee." Krad whines.

"Can't you get up by yourself?" Dark asks as he walks into the living room looking at Krad.

"Just help me," Krad says a bit angrily. Dark sighs as he helps the "helpless" blonde off the couch.

"You know if you're so helpless, why don't you take a break from work too." Dark says, "You should be resting anyway." After coming out of the bathroom, Krad just looks at Dark and says.

"And who would make the pastries and such for the shop?" he asks frowning. Dark starts to think about it. "You can't do it, cuz last time you tried to cook something, we had to kill it" Krad says frustrated.

"Saying you had to kill it is a bit harsh" Dark says while frowning.

" It moved, it growled, and when we poked/stabbed it with a fork it bled… and it's was supposed to be a sponge cake." Krad almost yells. Dark stays silent for a bit before he goes and grabs his coat. "Where are you going?" Krad ask.

"For a walk," Dark says not looking at Krad.

"What for?"

" To calm down a bit." Dark says monotone.

"Dark…" Krad trails off.

"I know that if I don't leave, neither of is gonna calm down and it's gonna end up in a fight, and we've been fighting a lot, and right now I really don't want to fight." Krad just stays silent as he watches Dark button up is coat. "I don't know when I'm going to be back, so don't wait up for me, alright?" Dark finishes as he turns and looks at Krad before he leaves. After he leaves, Krad just stares at the door for a while before he walks to the bedroom, to try and get some sleep.

4am --

Dark finally returns home, as he starts to take off his coat, a lamp is turned on.

" 4 am, you know that is the latest you have ever returned home from one of you little walks." Krad says tired and upset.

" I thought I said don't wait up." Dark says frowning "You really need to your rest"

"How can I sleep when the bed is empty and I think my lover is out there cheating on me?" Krad asks, clearly upset.

"I'm not cheating on you," Dark says a bit angered as he puts his coat on the rack.

"How do I know that? You go out just about every night - even when we don't fight."

"Well sometimes I just need some time alone." Dark says trying to keep calm.

"More like time away from me, and with someone not pregnant." Krad mumbles. Suddenly, Dark grabs Krad's arm tightly holding the blonde in place as his anger starts to rise. Krad winces from the pain.

"Krad," Dark says trying to not to yell "Trust me, I am not cheating on you alright?"

"How do I know that, when you're constantly flirting with anything that moves and has a pulse?" Krad almost yells as he glares at Dark. Dark shoves Krad away lightly.

"God dammit Krad, why can't you just trust me when I say I'm not cheating on you?" Dark yells.

"How can I when your probably sleeping with god knows who every time you go out." Krad screams. Before either of them has time to react, Dark suddenly slaps Krad, causing the blonde to stumble backwards a bit. For a few seconds Dark just glares at the blonde until he realizes what he has just done. Krad just stares at Dark as tears roll down his cheeks. Dark just stares at his hand, until the blonde starts to move and walk toward the door slowly.

"Krad…I…" Dark starts to say, as he tries to find the right words to say to try and make things right. Krad ignores Dark until he reaches the door "Goodbye Dark Mousy."

2 Hours Later (At Apartment Hiwatari-Niwa) (6am)

In the now Hiwatari-Niwa apartment, a phone begins to ring from the living room waking up a sleeping blunette. After releasing Daisuke from an embrace trying not to wake him and walking to the phone he finally answers the phone.

"Hello?" he answers, yawning

"Hey Satoshi have you seen Krad anywhere? He just walked off about 2hrs ago and I can't find him anywhere." Dark yells hurriedly into the phone. The now awake blunette, stares at the phone for a second before answering.

"Why isn't he with you?"

"We had a fight and it didn't go to well," Dark says quietly.

"Ok, then I'll go wake up Dai and we'll look for him." Satoshi says worriedly.

"Thanks…if you find him, call my Cell," Dark says before hanging up. After Hanging up the phone, Satoshi goes to the bedroom to wake Daisuke up. While Satoshi waits for Daisuke, he decides to see if he can locate the blonde, anywhere near the apartment complex. As he opens the door a certain blonde haired man almost falls to the floor.

"Dai" Satoshi yells as he starts to bring the blonde inside "Can you call Dark and tell him I found Krad?" Daisuke just nods as he picks up the phone and starts to dial Dark's number.

30 Minutes Later

While waiting for Dark, Satoshi and Daisuke try to get Krad to tell them what happened with him and Dark. Krad refuses to speak whatsoever, and just shakes his head at any question they ask him. Soon the doorbell rings, and Satoshi goes to answer it, while Daisuke tries unsuccessfully to get Krad to say something.

"So, care to tell me what you did to Krad?" Satoshi asks Dark.

" I just let my temper get the best of me…" Dark replies not keeping eye contact with Satoshi.

"And…?" Satoshi asks knowing there is more to it.

" And I hit him," Dark says quietly. Satoshi just stares at Dark not believing what he just heard "Luckily there wasn't much force in it, so I didn't knock him down, But I…." Dark trails off not knowing what to say.

" My God, Dark…how could you?" Satoshi asks, shocked.

"It just happened, and I wish I could change that." Satoshi just sighs as he moves to the side letting Dark in and closing the door behind him. As Dark walks through the door, Krad watches his every movement, afraid he might attack him at any given moment.

No one dares to say a word. The Deafening silence cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter.

"Um…How about I get some tea?" Daisuke ask trying to lighten the mood. "…Sato, you can um help me." Daisuke says pulling the reluctant brunette into the kitchen. Once again there is silence, and neither Dark nor Krad look at each. Krad looking at floor as Dark looks at the ceiling.

"Why?" Krad ask as he turns to Dark "Why did you do it?"

" I don't know…" Dark says not looking at Krad.

"How can you not know," Krad says as he forces himself to stand and walk over to Dark, staying about a foot away from him, as tears well up in his eyes. Dark stays silent as a lone tear slides down his cheek. Krad, moves closer to Dark and also stays silent as he leans his head into Dark's chest. He starts to cry into Dark's shirt soaking a small patch of the shirt with tears. Dark stays still as he also starts to cry.

In the Kitchen

" It's silent out there, maybe we should go see what's going on," Daisuke suggests worriedly.

"No, we should give them more time to sort out their problems." Satoshi says not trusting his own words.

"So," Daisuke starts "what did Dark do to Krad that made him so awkward?"

"It's not my place to say" Satoshi replies.

"Why not?" Daisuke pouts. "I'm their friend too, and if you know I should know." Satoshi chuckles at Daisuke's immature actions.

"Whenever Dark or Krad feel like you should know they'll tell you." Daisuke just pouts more. Satoshi then embraces Daisuke from behind, and gives him a peck on the cheek. "Do you know how cute you look when you pout?" Daisuke just blushes

Back In The Living Room

"Krad, I'm sorry." Dark says looking at the top of the blonde's head.

" I guess I can forgive you," he replies.

"How can you say it so easily?" Dark asks.

"I want to forgive you and I want to forget the fight. I don't want to walk around not being able to trust you, and thinking you're only with me because of the baby." Krad says as he hugs Dark tightly. Dark just nods silently as he enjoys the warmth of Krad's body. "Dark?"

"Yes?"

"Can we go home?" he asks, "I am very tired" Krad yawns.

"Yeah. Lets go home." Dark says as he brushes a few strands of Krad's hair away from his face and kisses his forehead.
