Chapter 9

Why Should I Care?

Dark buried his face deeper into his pillow as the first rays of sunlight hit his face. Why'd he have to wake up early? Wasn't it the weekend yet? "Stupid school," he mumbled in his sleep. His pillow groaned in agreement. Wait… his pillow groaned?

The purple haired teen was up in a second. Why the heck was his pillow groaning? Could pillows even groan? Glaring down at where his pillow should be his face turned from angry to confused. His pillow was missing and in its place was Daisuke. Did we sleep together or something? Dark questioned himself mentally.

No you moron! You were working on a project with him and then fell asleep! Another part of Dark's mind shouted at him.

Smiling Dark remembered what happened the other night. Daisuke had gotten tired and fallen asleep, and shortly after the rest of them had fallen asleep, and before he even got a chance to humiliate the adorable red head too. He'd have to fix that.

Smirking Dark laid back down on top of Daisuke and wrapped his arms around the smaller teen's waist. Checking to make sure Daisuke was still asleep Dark closed his eyes and began bucking his hips against Daisuke's. "Oh Daisuke," Dark murmured breathlessly into the red head's ear. "Oh I just want to fuck you senseless."

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.

Daisuke moaned as he slowly stirred from his pleasant dreams. Something heavy was lying on top of him and… Daisuke lost all trail of thought as realization dawned on him. Someone was humping him! What should he do? Scream! What if the person hit though? What could he do?

"Daisuke."

The mention teen eeped when the person who was on top of him tightened their hold around his waist. He knew he had heard that voice somewhere before but his mind was still too tired to figure out where. He tried to pull out of their embrace, but hard as he tried there was no escape.

"Don't be shy Daisuke. Your ass will only hurt for a day or two."

"Will you shut up!"

The next thing Daisuke heard was a slap, and whoever was on top of him stopped what they were doing. Oh thank god! Daisuke cheered in his head. I was so scared! What if they raped me!

X.X.X.X.X.

Dark growled at the bluenette who had slapped him. "What was that for! Didn't you notice my eyes were closed! I was sleeping damn it!"

"Sure you were," Satoshi said smugly. "I don't care how much you dislike Daisuke, don't ever do that. Especially if I'm in the same room as you."

"Whatever," Dark spat out at the bluenette. Why was Satoshi always ruining his fun? Didn't he have a life of his own?

"Dark, may I speak with you?" Krad asked. Normally Dark would answer with a yes, but at the sight of Krad glaring at him he grew unsure. Was the blonde upset about his prank? It wasn't really that bad compared to all the other stuff they'd done to Daisuke so why would Krad care now? Something was going on, and whatever it was it was bad news for Dark.

Nodding his head he stood up and left the still dazed Daisuke on the ground and followed Krad into another separate room. Once Satoshi and Daisuke were out of ear shot Dark asked the question that was plaguing his mind. "Why do you want to talk?"

Krad gave Dark an icy glare that made the purple haired teen take a step back. "Dark, I know your going to deny what I'm about to say but I think you might actually have feelings for Daisuke."

"What!" Dark screamed. "You can't be serious! I hate him! I enjoy seeing him miserable! If I have any feelings for him they are of loathing!"

The blonde shook his head disappointedly at his friend. "You don't see it do you? Think about it Dark, he's the longest person we've picked on, and when he finally did manage to get out of our grasp you were beyond pissed. You couldn't stand the fact that you had lost him. He also refused your apology and instead became friends with someone you hate, and because of that you felt betrayed and you wanted revenge."

"I didn't feel betrayed!" Dark shouted but Krad ignored him.

"From there on you were obsessed with making sure you got back at him," Krad paused for second. He looked at Dark as if checking to make sure it was okay to go on, but before Dark could open up his mouth to speak again the blonde continued. "At first I blew it off as nothing more then you blowing off some steam, but as the days go by and you become more obsessed, and after what I just saw, I have to say it's more than that. If you don't believe me Dark then answer this question for me, and make sure you think before answering. Would you have done what you just did to Daisuke with any of the other kids we've bullied?"

Dark was going to say yes but stopped. He wouldn't have done anything like that to the other kids he had tortured. So then why did he just do that to Daisuke?

Krad sighed at the confused look on Dark's face. "You really are hopeless Dark. Didn't anyone ever tell you that little boys pick on the ones the love?"

"So you're saying I'm like some little kid who has just fallen in love?" Dark questioned.

Krad nodded at the question causing Dark to scowl. "Well guess what Krad, I don't." With that said Dark stomped out of the room.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.

"So that was Dark?" Daisuke asked Satoshi, who nodded solemnly. Daisuke could feel the blood rushing to his face. He knew Dark was going to try and pull pranks on him, but he never suspected the older boy to go so far, and with an audience too. Then again if what Satoshi said was true Dark had been trying to pretend that he was asleep while doing, which probably would make it a lot less embarrassing for him.

"We better get this room cleaned up," Satoshi stated suddenly. "Dark and Krad probably are off fooling around somewhere and if we want to make it to school on time we need to start cleaning up."

Daisuke nodded his head in agreement and began picking up papers and putting them into piles. Halfway through cleaning the room he began to feel a pair of eyes burning into his back. Glancing over his shoulder he saw Dark leaning in the doorway with a sad and longing look on his face. Confused Daisuke tilted his head to the side.

As if understanding Daisuke's confusion Dark smiled and shook his head. What the older teen did next surprised the red head. Dark walked over to him and without saying a word bent down and started picking up papers too. Still confused Daisuke decided not to question Dark for now and just enjoy the help.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.

As Dark helped clean up his mind kept wandering back to his conversation with Krad. Could I really have feelings other than contempt for Daisuke?
