Deno: Hi! It's me again! I'm finally caught up on sleep (well, uh, kinda. hehe) and I'm ready to write! It's 5:00 in the evening (yay! it's not in the morning!) and I am in the writing mood! I really should be doing my school work right now, but who wants to do that when you can write! Hehehehehe! I think I'm really hyper, and I don't know why... ummmm, disclaimer anyone? I need to get off my writing high...
Dark: She doen't own me or anything related to D.N. Angel. She still wants to own Daisuke though...
Deno: Ok, here is the guide-thingy to help you guys out with my confusing writing, hehe -sweatdrop-
Plain typing-present time
Just Italic-thoughts in present time
Bold & Italic-flashback
Just Bold-flashback thoughts
Deno: Confusing enough for ya? Thought so... here is chapter 3 of High Tide!
Read this before reading this chappie 3-Important:
I realized after I put chappie 2 up that I mixed up Riku and Risa! Risa confessed her love for Daisuke, not Riku. I'm sooooooooo sorry about that... anyway, continue on with your readind :3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About an hour after the boys had split up, Dark was making his way to Daisuke's house.
'Man, Dai wasn't kidding about the weather. It looks like it's gonna let loose any second!'
And with that thought, Dark quickened his pace towards his lov- other half's home. Why did he always think of Daisuke as his love? Why was he so attached to him? It confused the purple-eyed boy to death!
'Aww! Who are you kidding, Dark? You love Dai, it's that simple...'
Dark stopped dead in his tracks. He loves Daisuke? Yes, he really couldn't deny it, especially since he knew his own heart better than anyone. He hated being far from the lively boy, and even if he didn't show it, he admired his spirit. The way Daisuke was always happy, the way he could always make Dark smile, or laugh! How he never gives up on any thing!
'I love everything about him! But I have to be careful, Dai seems to have a six sense about others feelings...'
He composed himself quickly when he realized he was outside of Daisuke's house. He knocked quickly and waited in the chilly air.
The door opened slowly to reveal an anxious looking Daisuke. Anxious?
"Hey, Dark! Come in." Daisuke slipped to the side of the door frameto allowed Dark enterence. Dai then closed the door.
Dark dropped his bags on the couch and took this opportunity to take in Daisuke's appearance. He had changed from his school uniform and now wore an white, unbuttoned button up shirt with a long-sleeved red shirt underneath and a pair of straight-legged jeans.
'He looks so cute in that...'
"Mom and grandpa went out to stock-up on groceries for the storm, but they'll be back in an hour or so." Daisuke smiled and pulled Dark into the kitchen. "Do you want a snack or anything? We have a few things until mom gets back..."
'I'd like to have you...'
"Umm, I'll have whatever your having."
Daisuke's smile soared. Dark wants whatever he want! If only Dark realized the extent of what he had just said... but Daisuke knew what Dark's remark really meant.
"Well, I was gonna have some hot chocolate."
"Ok, I'll have that, too."
Dark smiled to himself as he watched Daisuke scurry about the kitchen. He pulled chocolate powder out of one of the cabinates and spoons from a drawer. He opened another cabinate to get some mugs, but his short legs stopped him from reaching his goal. Dark laughed as he came up behind Daisuke.
"Let me get those for you."
Daisuke felt his face grow hot and his mouth run dry as Dark leaned against him to grab the mugs. Gosh, if Dark only knew what he was doing to his little friend.
Dark pulled down the mugs and turned to set them on the counter. Daisuke tried to calm his face. He knew he was as red as his hair, or brighter, so he kept his head down as he went about the task of making hot chocolate.
Dark was puzzled by the usually talkative boy. He had his head down as he quietly made their hot drinks. The only noise in the room was the beeping of the microwave, signaling their milk was ready to be mixed with chocolate.
Daisuke pulled the mugs from the microwave and set one down, along with a spoon, in front of Dark.
"I'll let you put in your own chocolate. I don't know how much you like in yours." Daisuke flashed Dark a smile as he went about stirring his own concoction. He was pretty sure his face had cooled down now, so he risked looking Dark in the eyes.
Dark noticed Daisuke was looking at him sheepishly. Oh no, had he somehow voiced his affection for the boy through his actions unknowingly? Dai's six sense was like tha...
'OH NO! When I went to get the mugs, did he notice I hesitated to pull away? Oh, crap!'
Inside, Dark was freaking out, but was able to keep cool on the outside.
"Yeah, too much chocolate can make me a bit hyper," Dark smirked as he added, "kinda like you, only your problem's permanent."
Daisuke 'hmph-ed' as Dark just laughed at him. He let it go, though, when Dark started to walk towards the stairs up to Daisuke's room.
"We better get started on homework. We don't want to be stuck doing it all tomorrow night."
Daisukesmiled to himselfas he followed Dark to his room. He had made sure to pay extra attention in class and used every second to his advantage. Almost all his homework was completed when he reached home, and he used the hour waited for Dark to come to finish the rest of it. He knew he was going to tell Dark his deepest secret this weekend, so he needed the extra time to think. But now that Dark was over, he just had to find the rightmoment. True, he had brought up the vast amount of homeworkthey hadwith Dark, but it was just a decoy to start a conversation. His love confession was waiting any minute to be given to Dark...
Dai sat on his bed while Dark sat at his desk. He pulled open his backpack and a piece of paper floated out. Daisuke began to freak.
"Um, Dai? I left my backpack downsta- what's that?"
'Well, now is as good a time as any...' Daisuke picked the paper up and turned to Dark.
"Uh, I wanted to, uh... give this to you. Go ahead and read it. I'll go get your backpack." Daisuke quickly thrust the paper at Dark as he made a bee-line for the door. After making it out of the room safely, Daisuke crouched down, made sure he had a clear shot of Dark's face (to read his reaction),and prepared himself for however Dark might react.
Dark felt slightly confused at Daisuke eagerness to leave the room, but let it go. He looked at the paper in his hand as he slowly unfolded it.
What? Daisuke already had his homework done? But how? He only had an hour to do it... oh, wait. Dark slightly remembered he was dealing with the master of all things brilliant: Daisuke.
Dark sat back in his chair, mumbling to no one in particular, "But I still can't believe Dai would... would want..." Dark became slightly angry at the thought of Dai thinking he would use his homework like that. He knew Dai wanted him to do well, but he didn't have to give up his morals just to make him happy. His voice slightly rose a notch, "Dang it, Dai... why?"
Daisuke's heart shattered. He thought he could handle rejection, but one glance at Dark's upset face told him otherwise. Hot tears built up behind his eyes, but he wouldn't let them fall, yet. He flew through the front door of his house as the tears finally came.
'Running. Keep running. Never stop. He doesn't want you... doesn't... want... you...'
.:Present Time:.
Dark was brought back to the present when he noticed another folded piece of paper sticking out of Daisuke's book bag. He also noticed it was taking Dai an awfully long time to get his backpack. He shivered as he realized how bad the storm had gotten. He wanted Dai near him, now…
