Chapter 3: Contact

Daisuke writes on his notebook as he listens to the teacher. He listens intently, trying to take his mind off the things which were bothering him the day and night before. He looks at Risa who sits a few rows from him. He sees her back. Unlike before, though, she is actually listening and taking down notes, not scribbling anything that concerned that bastard of a man.
(Flashback)
Daisuke sees Dark's arms extend towards the back of Risa's head, pulling her in for a kiss.
He drops her to the ground and looks at him daringly after doing so.
(End of flashback)
Daisuke shakes his head and squeezes his hands, breaking his pencil upon doing so. He tries to shake off those thoughts.
"That man really pisses me off!" he thinks to himself, his face hardening at the thought
He takes in a deep breath and concentrates on the lecture instead.
"Ugh…" Daisuke isn't able to control his anger. He feels uncomfortable just by sitting still on his chair. He desperately wants to punch the guy's face. What was with the look anyway? Was he mocking him? Daring him? Did Dark think that he wouldn't do anything about it? That he'd let him get away just like that?
He sinks to his chair and scratches his head, his face, hot and red in pure disgust. His eyes stray from the teacher to Satoshi who sits in front by the door. Satoshi had given him a "back-off!" look the day before. He isn't sure if he can approach him right now. He doesn't want to get on his bad side. It's not fair to put him in the middle of his thing with Dark.
Daisuke sighs. He wonders when it became such an obsession. At first, he merely wanted to check this guy out. If he was right for Risa. He wanted to see that the guy Risa dumped him for was worthy. That might've been a little selfish on his part but he was convinced that he was doing it for her. But this time, it's personal. The moment that Dark had given him that look after kissing his former love in front of him was an attack on him. A challenge. That guy isn't worthy and no way is he gonna get Risa! Not as long as he's here.
The school bell rings and everyone stands up and exits the classroom. Daisuke stands up from his chair and follows Satoshi. Outside, he approaches him and taps him on the shoulder.
"Hey! Hiwatari-kun." Daisuke greets him with a serious and somewhat formal tone.
"Good day." Hiwatari greets back with the same expression as before.
"I was wondering if you'd let me join you for lunch again." Daisuke asks politely. He didn't want to be too pushy like he was yesterday. He realized that Satoshi has had enough of that.
Satoshi says nothing but lets Daisuke walk with him to the lunchroom.
"So, is that a 'yes'?" asked Daisuke, waiting intently for Satoshi's reply.
"Yes."
"Good. Thank you." Daisuke smiles at his consent. They continue walking and arrive at the lunchroom. Satoshi gets in line for his food.
"I'll go save us a seat." Daisuke says. Satoshi nods and the former proceeds to an unoccupied table. He gets ready to put his bag on one of the chairs when somebody taps him on the shoulders. The red-head turns around and sees Krad.
"Yo!" Krad greets with a smiling coolly, holding his hand up in greeting.
"H-Hi!" Daisuke greets back. "I didn't know you guys were gonna be here."
"Yeah. We usually eat out." Krad replies
"I see" Daisuke understands. Seniors were allowed to go out for lunch provided that they come back for their next class on time.
"Satoshi's in line getting his food. I have a packed lunch so I went ahead to save both of us a seat." Daisuke informs the blonde
"No need for that! We already saved a seat. You're welcome to join us." Krad says pointing to a table in the corner of the lunchroom. Daisuke looks at where Krad is pointing and sees Dark there, sitting.
"You go on ahead! I'll wait for Satoshi!" Krad says with a wink and pushes Daisuke in the direction of the table.
"Ahh…" Daisuke gasps as he tumbles but regains his balance. He looks back at Krad who is already walking towards the line. He looks to the table and proceeds to go there. Upon arriving, he clears his throat to make his presence known to the older teen. The latter opens his eyes and looks at him. He had been sitting with both his feet on the table. Daisuke is mortified by his lack of manners but manages to utter a decent afternoon greeting.
"Good afternoon!" Daisuke greets, nodding his head. He looks at Dark who is eyeing him, a lack of interest reflected on his eyes. Dark gives out a huff and a wave of hand, allowing the younger teen to sit.
Daisuke pulls out a chair and sits. There is silence at first as neither of the two speaks or makes a move. Daisuke looks towards his left and observes his present company. Dark has closed his eyes once again, his hands at the back of his head, showing no interest at his presence.
He puts his bag on the table and takes out a red lunchbox. He opens it and takes out his chopsticks. Like before, the pleasant aroma of his food escapes the container, making Daisuke bow down to savor the smell some more. He smiles, holds his chopsticks up and gets ready to eat.
"Itadakimasu!" Daisuke says cheerfully, seeming to forget what was bothering him a while ago and proceeds to eat, taking out a piece of dumpling from his box and putting it on his mouth.
"Mmmm…Good!" Daisuke says with a sigh.
Dark, too, has taken notice of Daisuke's food and looks at him. The younger teen has paused eating and was smiling until he notices Dark looking. He looks at him and then at his food. He smiles, looking like someone who just figured something out and immediately stuffs his face with his food. He empties his lunchbox in a few seconds and swallows. He gets choked but he pats hardly on his chest, takes a glass of water and washes it down. With some bits of rice still in his face, he smugly looks at Dark, pure triumph flashing from his ruby eyes.
'(sweatdrops) What's this guy's problem?' Dark thinks to himself, looking a bit intimidated.
Krad and Satoshi approach the table. Krad looks at the two.
"You two seem to be getting along well-enough." He says then looks at Dark.
"Have you been playing nice?"
Dark huffs, takes his feet off the table and looks away.
"Hmph. If you're going to be like that, you can stay the whole week stinkin' your ass off!" Krad puts his hands on the table and leans over, his face now inches from him in a smirk. Dark seems to give in, giving-off a sigh of submission.
Krad, satisfied, walks around the table and sits beside Daisuke. He holds his own face up with his right hand, his elbows on the table and stares at Daisuke with those sapphire-blue eyes of his.
"Don't worry Dai-chan! I'm much nicer than him!" Krad says with a wink.
Daisuke blushes. This guy always seems to catch him off-guard. 'What is with this guy? Doesn't he ever get tired of winking?'
Satoshi moves around the table and sits between the two. He gives Daisuke that "back-off" look and pushed his eyeglasses back with his index finger. Daisuke gulps and looks at his empty lunchbox.
"Oh! Did you finish yours already Dai-chan? Here! I'll give you some of mine!" Krad offers his dumpling to Daisuke using his chopsticks.
"No! No! I'm fine! Really! I'm full!" Daisuke says waving both his hands.
"Come on! It's just one bite! You're a growing boy! Here! Eat more!" Krad insists.
"No really! I'm…"
Krad puts his dumpling inside Daisuke's mouth. "Chew." Krad says, never taking his eyes off him. Daisuke does as he is told and starts chewing. He swallows and washes it down with his water afterwards.
"See? Good, isn't it?" Krad remarks.
"Y-yeah." Daisuke replies lamely. He can't explain it but Krad's pushiness scared him a bit. Even if he was just teasing him.
Krad takes another dumpling and is about to offer it to Daisuke. Satoshi grabs his arm.
"What are you doing?" Satoshi looks irritated at the sight.
"I was just being friendly. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?" Krad replies teasingly.
"You're damn right there's something wrong! It doesn't look good! And you're making him uncomfortable. So stop it." Satoshi says firmly.
"My… Sorry Dai-chan." Krad says.
"No. It's okay, really! The dumpling was good."
"And thank you Satoshi for making me aware of how insensitive I was being. But I'm just curious. You aren't this conscious when I do it with y—" Krad doesn't continue upon noticing the icy stare he gets from his blue-haired friend.
"I'll stop now." Krad eats the dumpling and shrugs.
Daisuke looks at the both of them curiously. He isn't sure what just happened here.
"By the way," Satoshi starts without looking at Daisuke.
"Hm?"
'There's still some rice on your face." Satoshi comments.
"Oh!" Daisuke wipes his face abruptly and blushes. He was too caught-up in showing-off to Dark that he completely didn't notice the mess on his face.
"Uhhh… yeah. Hehehehe… I guess I was so hungry I couldn't help myself from attacking my lunch!" Daisuke says. Dark looks towards him.
"But I'm okay now! Full, even!" he says rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"No wonder you stay so healthy!" Krad exclaims and leans towards Daisuke, passing Satoshi's face. He leans onto his ear and says "…and cute."
By this time, Daisuke's face is as red as his hair that his features were totally invisible from his face.
"Krad…" Satoshi begins but Krad cuts him off.
"I'm done!" Krad says holding his hands up in surrender.
They continue eating while Daisuke watches, shifting his gaze to Dark from time to time. Krad had bought him his lunch. He must do this a lot.
'Maybe Dark isn't their leader after all.' Daisuke ponders 'Krad seems to be the one in charge here.' Dark notices him looking and gives him an "I'll kill you" stare.
Daisuke cringes in his seat. 'He's definitely the scariest, though!'
Krad puts his arm around his fellow senior.
"So, are we on for tonight?" Krad asks
"Yeah. My bag's in the locker so I don't have to go home for my things." Dark replies
"Cool! And of course, Satoshi's coming too!" the blonde says
"I haven't agreed to anything!" Satoshi counters.
"Hmmm….I see. It won't be fun without you. Oh well. Dai-chan! What about you? You wanna come?" Krad asks
"Huh?" Daisuke isn't sure what he's getting into.
'They're probably up to no good.' He thinks to himself 'Hmm…If that's so, then this is my chance! I can expose these thugs for who and what they really are and get back at that arrogant bastard once and for all! OKAY!' Daisuke says all of these inside his head, holding both his fists up and what seems like red flames coming out of his eyes.
"(sweatdrops) Uuuuhhhhh… So, you cool?" Krad asks uneasily.
"I'm coming!" Daisuke replies solidly.
"Okay then! This is gonna be one hell of a SLEEPOVER!" Krad exclaims cheerfully.
"Eh?" Daisuke mutters
"I'm coming!" Satoshi announces without changing his tone.
"Great! The more the merrier!" Krad is in celebration mode right now.
"S-sleepover?" Daisuke mutters. He's DEFINITELY not sure what he's gotten himself into.
Late afternoon:
Daisuke packs his things in a small backpack in preparation for the 'one hell of a' sleepover. He puts his toothbrush inside and a few other things. He sighs and looks at the clock. It's 4:55 pm.
(Flashback)
"So I'll send the car to pick you up at 5 this afternoon! Just give me your address and I'll take care of everything." Says Krad
"Ha…ah…err…"
"Just pack the basic stuff. Clothes, bathroom stuff and your blanky if you have one!"
"Er…um…"
"The car will go by Satoshi's house first and then yours. We'll meet at my house later!"
"Okay." Daisuke gives in, sighing but still unsure
"And you." Krad says pointing to Dark. "Hope you have the stuff you need this time! If you don't want to have to share my soap and towel like… … last time." He continues teasingly.
"Last time?" Daisuke inquires, curious.
"Hmm… this whole thing's set-up for him. The plumbing in his pad's broken so he'll be spending the night or… nights in my place until it gets fixed." Krad explains
"I didn't ask you to bring everyone to this "sleepover"!" Dark exclaims with irritation.
"You didn't need to. I don't want the both of us getting lonely there! Dad will be out-of-town all week and I have a really big bathroom!' Krad counters
Satoshi rolls his eyes and Dark huffs.
'Yep.' Daisuke thinks as he watches the scene. 'He's DEFINITELY the one in charge!'
(End of Flashback)
Daisuke finishes packing-up and goes out of his room.
"Daisuke! There's a car in the gate to pick you up!" Emiko, Dai's mother shouted
"I'm coming!" Daisuke goes out of the house and proceeds to the front gate. There, he sees a black limo waiting outside. His jaw drops at the sight of the vehicle.
"My my! I'm so proud of my son! Befriending such rich friends!" Emiko says proudly
"Now you be careful now! Don't be too rowdy there. You don't want to embarrass your mother, do you?" Daisuke's mom is totally in hyper mode
"(sweatdrops)Yes mom! I will."
"I remember when you were in grade school! sniff Such wonderful yet lonely days! Not once did you get invited to any of the other boys' activities. I don't understand why they kept calling you a geek back then. Those bunny-ears lookes cute on you! Kawaii--!" Emiko reminisces.
"Mom! Let's not talk about those things right now!" Daisuke says embarrassed. He heads towards the limousine.
"Goodbye! See you tomorrow!" Daisuke waves his hand and steps inside the vehicle. He sees Satoshi inside.
"You be good now! Eat right! And put in a good word for your mom!" Emiko waves goodbye and the limo drives off.
"Ugh…er… Good afternoon Hiwatari-kun!" Daisuke greets his blue-haired companion.
"Good afternoon."
The car drives around town for a while until it reaches a place with fewer buildings. Several trees are around the road now. Neither of the two speak until Satoshi breaks the silence.
"Bunny ears?" He says, laughingly
"Ahhh… … hahahaha…" Daisuke laughs lamely. He looks outside again, there are no more buildings around the road they were on. Only trees.
"So, where are we? I've never been to this part of town before." Daisuke asks.
"We're already inside the property of Krad's family." Satoshi replies.
"Ohh…wow!" Daisuke is impressed
"Just how rich is Krad's family anyway?"
"They're very wealthy people." Satoshi says bluntly.
"Ohh…" Daisuke mutters "So, do they have a name for it? This land I mean. And what's Krad's last name anyway?" Daisuke asks.
"We're here!" Satoshi says. Pointing to the outside of the window.
Daisuke looks outside and sees a black iron gate. The limousine stops in front of it. He hears a ringing sound and the gate opens automatically and the car goes inside. Daisuke's eys widen at the sight of Krad's home. It wasn't just a home. It was an estate! The car drives around a beautifully designed fountain. On top of it is a statue of a human-sized angel. It has both wings spread out. Its left hand is placed on its chest and its right is raised up towards the sky.
"Sugoi!" Daisuke has his face and hands pasted on the car's window. Satoshi just watched him, amused by his reactions.
"I didn't know Krad was THIS rich!" Daisuke mutters as he admires the fountain some more.
The car finally stops in front of a magnificent stairway. The two of them wait a moment before someone opens the door for them.
"Good evening, Niwa-sama, Satoshi-sama!" said a tall male servant wearing an all black suit.
"G-Good evening." Daisuke replies humbly. He and Satoshi get out of the car
"May I get your baggage?"
"Um- N-no! It's alright," says Daisuke waving his hands. "It's a small bag and I don't have that many things! I can carry them myself!"
"Oh come now, Dai-chan!" a voice says. Daisuke looks up the stairs and sees Krad walking down. He is wearing an all-white suit. Daisuke is embarrassed by the casual clothes he is wearing.
"I-I didn't know we needed to dress-up!" Daisuke says to Satoshi, panicking
"Don't worry! They do that everyday here. It's standard clothing for them. Besides, I didn't wear anything fancy so you're not alone on this one." Satoshi reassures the red-head.
"G-Good evening Krad-san," Daisuke greets. The servant takes his backpack and proceeds up the stairs.
"Where's yours?" Daisuke asks Satoshi.
'I didn't need to bring anything. They still have some of my stuff from the last time I went here." He replies
"Carry that up to his room!" Krad instructed
"At once, Krad-sama!" and with that, he proceeds up the stairs and into the house.
"So… Dai-chan! Glad you made it!" Krad says as the two walks up to him.
"We'll have dinner in a short while! Sorry. I won't have time to give you a grand tour of my humble home."
"I-It's alright! Don't trouble yourself!" Daisuke says politely
'Humble? Yeah, right!'
"Has Dark-san arrived yet?"
"Yeah! He's already in the dining area." Krad says. Daisuke feels good. A while ago, he wasn't sure what he was doing there but he has decided to act now, tonight. He's gonna let Dark know what a worthless piece of excuse for a man he is and that he doesn't deserve anything Risa could give him. Not ever!
They go inside and proceed to the dining room. He is even more amazed at what he sees inside the palatial home. Marble floors so spotlessly clean and smooth that he swears that it works better at showing his reflection than his mirror at home. Elegant chandelier at the center of what looks like a hotel's lobby. The family obviously has an exquisite taste for art. The walls of the hallways are decorated with various paintings; most of them are familiar to an almost drooling Daisuke.
"Whoa," Daisuke's eyes grow wide as he sees one of the paintings. "This is a Robert Jessup, isn't it?"
"Yes it is. You certainly know your artists, don't you Dai-chan?" Krad says, impressed.
"A little," Daisuke replies humbly "I, myself, like to paint so I study about different artists and their styles to help me improve."
"My my. You've got to let me see some of your works one of these days!" Krad says
"Sure thing!" Daisuke replies, nodding his head "But I doubt that my works compare to what you've got here, Krad-san."
"Oh, I don't care about the paintings here. My father's the one who loves to collect these. I don't think he appreciates them at all. He just like to buy them because their expensive. Kinda likes to impress visitors, you know." Krad says and shrugs
"I-I see." Daisuke says. He is half-aware of what Krad is saying. He is busy admiring the other paintings.
They arrive at the dining area. Dark is standing by the door.
"Yo! Dark! Satoshi and his friend are here!" Krad waves at his purple-locked friend.
"Yo!" Dark greets the three
"Good evening Dark!" Satoshi says, giving a slight nod
"Good evening." Daisuke looks at him, his face already hardening at the sight of his 'enemy'.
The door to the dining room is opened from the inside by two male servants. They go in and see an elongated rectangular table, what seems like a feast is already placed on the surface of it. There are 5 plates near one of the sides of the table.
"What? No candlelight?" teased Dark
"Now now, Dark! Those are only reserved for the ladies," Krad says. "Now take a seat wherever you like and dig-in!"
Satoshi and Dark are the ones to head to the table first. They seat near the head of the table where Krad sits. Daisuke follows them and places himself near Satoshi. He feels comfortable sitting next to someone his own age in such an unfamiliar and overwhelmingly classy environment.
"So what are you waiting for? The food's not gonna eat itself." Krad says
"Here here!" Dark says, grinning and ready to grab everything in sight.
Daisuke is startled. It's the first time he sees Dark smile, unless you count the snickering face he made at him after he kissed Risa. His blood boils at the thought. No matter. THAT can wait until later. For now, he's going to enjoy his first visit-slash-sleepover-slash-food marathon. He joins Satoshi as he says his blessings, takes his knife and fork and starts eating.
Daisuke brushes his teeth thoroughly. He has eaten so much just hours before, not to mention the gorging down of desserts. Krad really knew how to treat his guest well, or their stomachs anyway. None of the four spoke during dinner, save Krad who was eagerly talking about his house and his family and whatever came to his mind. Daisuke was the only one who listened intently. But throughout the conversation, Daisuke has forgotten to ask one minor detail of Krad.
'What was his last name again?' Daisuke asks himself.
He spits and rinses his mouth. He opens the faucet and begins washing his face. He takes his towel from the rack and dries himself. He looks in the mirror, pure determination pasted on his face. He's gonna do it now. There's no turning back. He's going to find Dark and give him a piece of his mind, fist or whatever. Depends on his control and he runs low of it when things concerned the older teen.
He goes out of the bathroom. He is now inside the bedroom which was specifically prepared for him. It seems that everyone have their own rooms. But the rooms they were in aren't that close to each other.
"(sweatdrops) Honestly, I didn't quite picture a sleepover to be like this" Daisuke says to himself as he goes out of his room.
'The closest room to mine is Hiwatari's. I'll go to him first.' Daisuke doesn't know where Dark's room is so he's going to ask Hiwatari. He arrives at Satoshi's room and knocks at the door.
"Hiwatari-kun! Are you there?"
No answer.
"Hiwatari-kun?" Daisuke calls out again and turns the knob.
"Oro?" The door is open. He gulps and decides to go in. He tries to walk quietly. If Satoshi was asleep, he doesn't want to disturb him. He walks slowly at first. The room has a narrow entrance at first, much like that of a hotel room's. He passes the door to the bathroom. As he nears the bed, he hears sound. People talking.
'So he's not asleep after all.' Daisuke thinks, relieved. He attempts to call-out to Satoshi but is stopped when he hears Krad's voice.
"Hmm… your friend's nice." Krad says his voice a little darker and huskier than usual.
"He's nice to everyone." Satoshi replies softly
"But still, I like him. Do you think he'll be interested in joining us?" Krad says
Daisuke moves closer to hear the conversation better. He is careful not to be heard. He sees Krad and Satoshi sitting on the farther side of the bed, beside each other.
"Probably," Satoshi says, almost whispering. "If he's going to join us, it may take some pursuing first. But…"
"But?" Krad asks him.
"I don't think we should ask him." Satoshi continues.
"And why not?" Krad asks, moving closer to Satoshi
"He might be trouble. He kept following me around the other day. He might get too close."
"Too close?" Krad lifts his Satoshi's chin up, his voice turning harder by the second he puts his left arm around Satoshi and his left hand starts to move upward.
Satoshi looks startled at the sight of Krad's eyes which seems to be piercing into him.
"I-I… don't want him to get too close to us." Satoshi says, trying to take his eyes off the older teen.
Krad lifts his left arm and places it on the back of Satoshi's head. He takes his glasses off with his right hand and places them on the table by the bed.
"Too close to us? Or too close to me?" Krad says, his voice is completely different now. It was tough and hard, despite the fact that he was almost whispering. He grabs Satoshi's hair by the back and pulls on it, roughly.
Satoshi twitches and gives out a moan of pain but tries to hold it. His eyes clearly show that he is in pain, yet he does nothing to stop Krad. Krad just smiles at him and caresses Satoshi's left cheek with the back of his right hand.
Satoshi's eyes shut at the contact of his face and Krad's hand. He gently grabs the hand caressing his cheek and opens his eyes. He caresses Krad's hand and the blonde gives him a gentle smile in return, his other hand still pulling on the younger teen's blue hair.
He starts to pull Satoshi's face closer to him when he sees a pair of red eyes looking at him.
He abruptly lets go of Satoshi.
"Dai-chan?' Krad says. Satoshi turns his head, his eyes as wide as those of the red-head's.
"Niwa-kun?" Satoshi says, surprised.
"I-I wanted to say goodnight to the both of you," Daisuke says, stammering
"Oh. Well then thank you and good night too Dai-chan!" Krad says, smiling and closing his eyes.
"Good night." Satoshi says, looking away.
None of the three spoke for a few seconds. Daisuke notices the awkwardness of the situation and remembers why he was there in the first place.
"U-um… do you know where Dark's room is? I want to say goodnight to him too." Daisuke says
"Oh. Dark? He's staying in the room at the end of the hallway on the other side of this floor." Krad says
"T-Thank you! And goodnight again!" Daisuke says almost shouting. He bows his head and leaves hurryingly.
"Hmm… My my…" Krad says turning his head to Satoshi.
"That's one polite boy!"
Daisuke walks briskly as he thinks about what he just saw.
'What was that? What were those two doing?' Daisuke is clearly troubled.
'And what's with Satoshi? He didn't do anything to stop him.' Daisuke has his head bowed down. He stares to at the floor as he continues walking towards Dark room. He finally arrives and shaking his uneasiness off, he decided to put what he saw off for another day. This was about him and Dark. Whatever it is that he saw just now was going to have to wait.
He gently turns on the knob. It's open. He doesn't care whether he disturbed Dark. He's gonna wake him up anyway if he's already asleep!
He opens the door and walks inside without hesitation.
He walks towards the bed. There's no one there.
"Huh?" Daisuke hears the sound of water running from the bathroom. Dark is showering.
That's ok. He was gonna wait for him, no matter how long it took.
He sits on the bed and crosses his arms. He hears the water stop running. The door to the bathroom opens and some steam comes out. He sees a pair of feet come out of the bathroom. He stands up, preparing himself. The steam dissipates and Dark's face and body is revealed to Daisuke. He is amazed by the sight.
Dark has his towel around his waist. He is well-built. His arms and muscles, tight but not too pronounced. His torso is very well-shaped. A few droplets of water still clung to his skin. Daisuke is somewhat surprised by the smoothness of his skin. He half-expected his body to be full of scars due to fights and the like. But he's flawless.
Dark notices him staring, his face hardens. He clearly looks pissed-off.
"What are you doing here?" Dark asks, startling the younger teen with his voice.
'I…" Daisuke is speechless for a moment but shakes his head.
"I came to talk to you!" Daisuke is able to come up with the courage he needs to put on as much as intimidating a face as he is able to.
Dark is unshaken, his eyes still focused on the teen, as if ready to kill at any moment.
"I have a lot to say to you!" Daisuke continues, clenching his fist.
"DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON YOUR WAY OUT!" Dark brushes him off as he wipes his dark-violet hair.
"You're not gonna get rid of me THAT easily!" Daisuke retaliates.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME, KID? TELL WHATEVER YOU NEED TO SAY TO SOMEONE WHO CARES!"
"What's wrong? You're too stuck on yourself to talk to the likes of me! Look at you! You're a worthless piece of CRAP!" Daisuke shouts.
Dark closes his mouth in anger, his teeth showing.
"And you? You're better than me? Is that it?" Dark approaches Daisuke and pushes him HARD against the wall.
Daisuke cries out in pain as his back made contact with the wall. His knees tremble but he forces himself to remain standing.
"Yes! I'm MUCH better than you! You're a worthless piece of crap who uses other people for his own sake. Without a care for their feelings!" Daisuke continues shouting, placing his hands against the wall for support.
Dark grabs Daisuke by the sleeves of his pajama and holds him up. Daisuke's feet no longer touch the floor.
"So. What else do you know about me? Do tell!" Dark's eyes were murderous now.
Daisuke tries to shake his fear and continues speaking.
"A person like you DOESN'T DESERVE RISA!" Daisuke shouts.
Dark's eyes widen. The younger teen huffs. It was difficult for him to breathe with Dark's hands around his neck.
"Ohhhh… I see. Is this about that dumb ditz?" Dark says amused.
"What? You're hurt because your sorry little bitch chose me instead of you. That must've hurt!" Dark says mockingly.
"W-Why you…"
"You sore about me kissing her? Huh? Is that it? You wanted to be the one who got the first taste?" Dark tightens his hold on Daisuke's neck.
"Well too bad! It wasn't even that good. That dumb slut couldn't kiss for squat!"
Daisuke is enraged now. He starts struggling and punching hysterically.
"AHHHH!" Daisuke's eyes fill with tears and they run down his cheeks.
Dark takes one of his arms away from Daisuke's neck and punches his face down. Daisuke drops to the floor, his face hitting the carpeted surface. He struggles to stand up. His mouth fills with blood and he spits, staining the carpet with a crimson color.
"Is that all you've got? Come on! I thought you were gonna show me what's what?" Dark continues to mock the younger teen who is coughing up blood from under him. He raises his leg and steps on the red-head's back, his foot hitting his spine with brute force.
Daisuke shouts out in pain as more blood escapes his mouth. He scratches on the floor, writhing in agony.
Dark twists his foot around. Daisuke hands extend and he screams out but no one is able to hear him.
"So... Who's worthless now?" Dark says, smiling evilly. He takes his foot from Daisuke's back and kicks him over. Daisuke's hands are still stretched out. He puts them on his chest as he assumes fetal position, turning away from the older teen.
"LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Dark kicks at the boy again, causing another cry of pain to come out of the boy.
"Ugh…" Daisuke wriggles, turns around and looks at the older teen.
Dark is smirking at him.
"So… Does being better than me feel good? You want some more?" Dark grabs Daisuke and pins him on the wall.
Daisuke is shaking. He's never been scared that way in his life than he is now. His lips tremble and Dark notices.
"Relax. I thought you'd put up more of a fight. But after all, you're…" Dark leans towards Daisuke's ear.
"… a weakling."
Streams of tears run down from Daisuke's eyes and drip from his chin. His eyes are wide in complete shock.
Dark sees this and his face softens. His eyes, reflecting traces of gentleness. He takes both of his hands and places them on the boy's cheeks. He wipes away his tears. He raises his right hand, wet with the boy's tears, and licked at it. The salty taste of the boy's tears touched his tongue, making him close his eyes. He doesn't remember the last time when he had caused so much pain to a person.
He opens his eyes and look directly at Daisuke. He caresses his cheek with his other hand and places his right arm round his back on his neck.
He looks at him gently; his eyes are now showing what seems like remorse.
"I'm sorry." He says softly. The younger teen's expression does not change. Fear and pain is still deeply engraved on his delicate face.
"I-I'm gonna make things better… I…I'll try to make the pain go away…" Dark says, stammering softly
He pulls Daisuke towards him and presses his lips against the red-head's own.
Daisuke moans in protest but isn't able to break away. He is too weak and beaten-up.
Dark doesn't have a hard time penetrating the boy's mouth with his tongue since it was already slightly open before. He explored the sweet boy's mouth; despite the protests and wriggling he got from him. He played with his tongue, teasing the younger boy with gentle movements. The boy's mouth strongly tasted of blood.
THAT was his fault. He had been too rough on him. He didn't realize how fragile the boy was, nor did he care. He continues moving his mouth against Daisuke and he hears him moan into submission.
With that, he pulls away and looks at the boy in his arms. He's calmed down now, his face, soft but still showing the hurt he had caused him.
Dark frowns at this and places his hands on Daisuke's head, gently ruffling his hair. His head moves to Daisuke's neck, nibbling at it softly.
"N-No…" Daisuke mutters weakly.
Dark moves upward and kisses Daisuke again. A little harder this time. Both are moaning at the long contact. Dark doesn't notice the time and pulls away, surprised when Daisuke follows him. Daisuke's head drops on his chest. The both of them gasp for air. Dark moves towards the bed and leans on its side, embracing the younger teen with both his arms.
Everything was calm and quiet as the two fall asleep on the floor by Dark's bed. Neither spoke a word nor made unnecessary sounds. Only their soft breathing can be heard. The blue moon's rays enter the window of the room, hitting the two and gently cradling them to the sleep. None of what happened earlier seemed to have occurred.
The air is peaceful as the two lay in the warmth of each other's arms…
Author's note:
So, here's the 3rd chapter of my fic entitled, "Sweet misery". (faints)
Whew! That was kinda long wasn't it? It may have been a result of me living off cookies and fruit cocktail in heavy syrup for the last three days! (faints again)
I think I'm in between traumatized and excited right now. I don't think that that's a healthy combination… Ahehehehehe… (Moves away from sharp objects)
I REALLY hope you enjoy this chapter! I've done my best to avoid errors while writing and have taken note of punctuation.
Honestly, my heart is racing right now 'cause I've finished this chapter… hehehe…
By the way, thanks to emeraldwind for beta-reading Chapters 1 and 2 of my fic.
Thanks also to brunettelite005 and M-chan for noticing my mistakes. I've revised the previous chapters already! Hehehe…
And to the others who have reviewed the first two chapters (16 reviews! WOW!), I thank you from the bottom of my sugar-rushed heart! Hahahaha! (faints yet again)
So what more can I say? I'll be updating soon! Promise! But I'll recover from this chapter first. (Attacks his CHIPS AHOY!)
So see you next chapter! (smiles, waves and bows)
