Chapter 2: I wish I could eat your cancer
Daisuke's little entourage with Mitsuki went on for some time. At school, they talked before class started, ate lunch together, studied after school, and met up to study when school wasn't running. However, things got really good when Daisuke (in all of his sense and glory) asked Mitsuki to a date. He was taking her to some nice, cozy, little bar/café. Daisuke's gone in here sometimes, usually whenever his mom is broke or when he feels he needs some time away from everyone else. The owner is a nice little old man, who is an excellent cook and gives Daisuke a sandwich on the house whenever he goes there. Tonight, he asked the bar owner to pull out all the stops… Daisuke dressed sharper than a gangster's knife during a turf war: he wore an elegant navy long-sleeved shirt (not a turtleneck but doesn't have a collar either) with some nice dark jeans and threw in a good perfume. His momma fixed up his hair a lot, and it looked clean and sleeker than ever. He waited for a bit for Mitsuki, and then was almost knocked off his boxer-wearing ass when she came in through the door: Mitsuki looked absolutely stunning: all blue, a blue skirt with a matching blouse, eyeliner and lipstick. "Oh sweet hallelujah! Look what walked in through the door and took me to heaven‼" Daisuke heard Dark say, "Oh shut up, you dork" Daisuke told Dark. Mitsuki threw herself on him, hugging him and giggling, "you look so handsome, Daisuke!" she squealed. Daisuke held her at arms length, almost as if he was about to dance with her, and said "you look drop-dead gorgeous" and she hugged her again, both of them laughing… They passed the night with laughs and a really good time…
The night finished up, Daisuke and Mitsuki stepped out of the little bar, full of good food and really sleepy. They were talking about how Mitsuki's parents were divorced, and how she lived with her mother. However, their conversation was broken when they heard an argument coming from down the street: a girl and a dude twice their age were arguing, and apparently breaking up. The girl screamed about how much of an ass the guy was and about how the guy has tried all he can to please her. With a disgusted grunt, she took off, getting in between Mitsuki and Daisuke, the guy almost on her tail. Instead of going in between, the guy went straight toward Daisuke, saying "get outs my way punk!" and pushing into Daisuke, only for Daisuke to skillfully tripping the guy. "Holy crap, dude! Are you ok?" Daisuke said offering the guy his hand; however, after he got the dazed guy up, he walked off, only to feel a swish of the air and a bang against the wall. "You think you're pretty funny, huh punk?" said the guy, completely ferocious. Daisuke was completely afraid, telling the guy to back off, the guy menacing him about how he'll break Daisuke's face like a pot. When he took another swing, Daisuke took a swift (but dazing) punch to the guy's face, which made him take a wind-breaking kick at Daisuke, which landed on the brick wall behind Daisuke. Then, he heard a crack! And saw the guy fall down, the back of his head slightly bleeding. Mitsuki was standing there, holding a broken bottle in her hand and a surprised look on her face. "Come on!" she said, grabbing Daisuke and running…
They laughed as they stood in front of Mitsuki's house. "Um… Daisuke" said Mitsuki, suddenly turning really serious, almost sad, "I have something to tell you". Daisuke was puzzled a little bit with what she was going to say: was she in love? "Holy crap…" "I have cancer"……… Daisuke felt a shiver go down his spine as he heard these words echo in his mind… his best friend is suffering. "Mitsuki… when did you learn?" Daisuke said, feeling like he was about to cry, "Right… right before I met you… I was in the hospital right before school" Mitsuki said, tears going down her cheeks, "But why didn't you tell me?" Daisuke said, his heart pounding, "I didn't want you to be afraid, just like you are now!" and Mitsuki cried on his shoulder. Daisuke hugged her, feeling her cry, and a coldness on his shoulder, "hey, I'm you best friend. You can tell me any damn thing. I ain't afraid of much, much less you. How can I be afraid of someone I love?" Daisuke said, and Mitsuki looked at him, her face glowing with a smile and her own tears. Daisuke felt like he was about to drown in her own tears until she kissed him. While they were kissing, Daisuke could hear the stunned, stuttering words of Dark, who was laughing and squealing "Oh, you lucky f‼" Finally, she stopped and wiped her face with a handkerchief, saying sorry, and thanks, giving him one last kiss on the cheek right before she walked into her home. Daisuke tried taking a step, but the brief and sudden events left him completely stunned with mixed emotions: he felt pity… but he couldn't feel happier. (There's episode 2 ladies and gents!
