Satoshi entered his classroom; as usual he was the first to arrive. He sat at his desk at the furthest corner of the room near the windows. He like being early, it always give him time to reflect on recent event.
He looked around the classroom for a while then turns his gaze on the desk across the room. It was Niwa's desk. He was rather early… Satoshi contemplated about for a while before standing up and walked towards the said desk. He ran his fingers along the smooth wooden surface, noting the little doodles that the young Niwa drew,
Satoshi sat down, trying to imagine being in Niwa-kun's shoes and looked around the class. ' So this is his point of view…' Satoshi mused silently. He could see the Harada twin's desk in front of him; Takeshi's was next to him along with Masahiro's. He turned his head slightly and to his surprise he could see his own desk perfectly. It was quite easy if the Niwa wanted to sneak a glance, but Satoshi doubted Niwa-kun would really do that.
Satoshi gave a little sigh and look down at Niwa's desk. Inside, it was rather messy, filled with papers and notes. Satoshi felt curiosity welled up within him as he slip his hand in and took out the papers.
" Gomen ne, Daisuke…" Satoshi murmured as he glanced through the papers,
Just like on the desk, the papers were filled with doodles and drawings. There were pictures of clouds, pictures of sceneries, most drawings was on Niwa-kun's pet bunny Wiz and chibi drawings of Dark with small sentences next to it like ' Dark baka!' or ' stop annoying me, Dark!' Satoshi gave a little smile.
He shifted through the papers until he came across a particular sketching of Riku sitting at her desk. Since the Harada onee-san sat in front, Niwa-kun draw the view of her back, with perfect detail. Satoshi saw the careful sketches on the curve of her body, the folds of her clothes, the arc of her neck… Daisuke has really put his heart in this picture, it was easy to see that, and that made Satoshi felt rather hurt.
' Lucky, Harada…' he thought sadly, ' to have Niwa-kun's heart so easily when there's others who craved for it…'
Satoshi then notice a small writing in the corner. He quickly took in the words, wondering what it meant.
I'm sorry, Riku…
Satoshi stared at it. Sorry? Why would he be sorry? Satoshi really couldn't see what he was sorry about. Satoshi sighed and was about to put the drawings away when he noticed a small paper, folded neatly and safely in the corners of the desk, as though it was trying to hide from the outside world. Satoshi took it out and unfold the paper, wondering what it might be. ' Probably another picture of Harada,' Satoshi thought bitterly.
Satoshi eyes widens with surprise. It was a drawing of him, sitting at his desk and reading a book. Satoshi stared at it for a while, taking the picture in and glued it to his memory. Though it was a black and white sketch, but somehow Niwa-kun managed to capture the light in this picture. This picture was far more detailed than the Harada picture. Satoshi noted the gracefulness of it and the delicacy.
Niwa-kun had drawn him in a somewhat dreamy state. He had drawn the young commander's face with soft textures, the long slender hands that held up the book with grace and the elegant posture.
Satoshi stared at it for a while; the perplexed feeling still hasn't left him. Was this how Daisuke saw him? Satoshi couldn't help but wonder.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the classroom, and Satoshi quickly stuffed the paper drawings back inside Daisuke's desk. He hurried to his desk and pretended to look absently out the window.
He watched as the classroom slowly began to fill itself and waited. Waited for the thief that stole his heart to finally enter.

Daisuke walked down the street, a dazed look on his face. It was a normal day like any other; he was a few minutes late as usual. Yet, there was something slightly different about that exact day. The sun was shining, the clouds are drifting, the birds were singing… yet still there was that nagging feeling at the back of his head, telling him that something was off.
Maybe it's because the sun was shining too brightly, clouds were drifting too slow and the birds were singing too loud, but still he couldn't figure out what was bothering him. It was like he was dragged into an alternate universe while he was asleep and woke up in a different reality, where everything was the same yet different.
Whatever it was, it didn't bother Daisuke that much. In fact, there was a sense of unending giddiness arousing from him and he felt happy and content. It was like he had a new goal in life…
Unfortunately, it cannot say the same for Dark. He too felt the same way as what Daisuke felt, but he was not happy about it. Something's not right, something's definitely not right, he kept telling himself. He was worried about his tamer ever since last night after the heist.
Daisuke nearly arrived at the school gate, he wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings, and it was like his feet had a mind of its own and knows its destination. There was a soft lulling sound at the back of his head, whispering unrevealed words that made his mind blissfully blank. It was like a message was trying to reveal itself.
" Daisuke," Dark said quietly, unable to contain himself any longer, " what happen last night?"
Daisuke perked up absently. " Hmmm? What do you mean, Dark?" Daisuke asked serenely.
" I was talking about last night, after the heist. You… transformed into me. Why…? And you've been acting strange ever since…" Dark's words trailed off thoughtfully then hesitantly continued, as though the next words bothered him deeply. " Not to mention… WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THOSE DREAMS LAST NIGHT!"
Daisuke's face blanched. " what- what are talking about, Dark? Dreams? What dreams? There were no dreams. Just sweet, peaceful slumber, that's all! Ah ha! Ha! Ha!" Daisuke's face turned away, trying to hide the faint blush.
" Sweet, peaceful slumber my ass!" Dark retort with a look that clearly says 'do-you-take-me-for-a-fool-you-idiot?', " I heard you last night, you were moaning so fucking hard! You woke me from my sweet, peaceful slumber!"
Daisuke went bright pink. " Ha! Ha! Ha!"
" Stop laughing, you're gonna enter class. Unless you want people to think you're a raving lunatic…"
Daisuke slide his classroom door open and stepped in, he was instantly greeted by his classmate.
" Ohayo, minna!" Daisuke greeted cheerfully.
" Ohayo, Niwa-kun," The Harada twins greeted in one chorus.
" Ohayo, Harada-san, Riku-san,"
" You know, Dai, I'm still not going to drop about last night," Dark whispered with a frown, " I can feel there's something wrong with you, why won't you tell me what it is?"
" Dark, relax. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm fine, I feel great." Daisuke replied with a sigh.
" Can't put my finger on it, but somehow I get the feeling creepy boy has something to do with this," Dark muttered darkly, ignoring what Daisuke has said, then snapped at his tamer, " yo, Dai, did Hiwatari did anything to you last night?"
" No he didn't, why d'you have to bring him up? And stop calling him creepy boy,"
" Because no matter what happens, he will always be in the picture. And no, I won't stop call him creepy boy coz he is creepy!" Dark cried smugly, " and another thing, you were dreaming about him last night. That definitely means he has something to do with this…"
" Daaark… I did NOT dream about him! Leave me alone!" Daisuke yelled mentally, going red in face, " and no matter what you say, there's nothing wrong with me and Hiwatari-kun has nothing to do with it!"
" Ohayo gozaimasu, Niwa-kun…" a soft cool voice greeted from behind.
Daisuke froze and Dark bit his lip. ' Crap!' Dark thought worriedly, ' I have a really bad feeling about this…'
Daisuke slowly turned to look at a pair of clear ice-blue eyes, which was looking down at him with a cool gaze.
" O- ohayo… Hiwa… tari… -kun…" Daisuke whispered hushedly, a small tinge on his cheek.
Daisuke stared at the tall handsome boy in front of him when suddenly a wave of change happens within him. It was as though the sight of the young genius sparked a fire that was hidden within his soul.
The soft lulling sound in his mind raised its volume into a siren that wailed loudly, and Daisuke was suddenly clouded with a foreign emotion. The unknown emotion that merge within him last night grew alarmingly and took over his senses, making Daisuke feeling suddenly dizzy, blissful and blank. The blankness was clearly shown when his sparkly red eyes turned cloudy and his face slowly showed a dazed look.
Dark watched horrified as a cloud of pearly mist suddenly surrounded him and swirled characteristically in the empty space that he reside, whatever was happening to Daisuke was trying to take an effect on him too. Dark tried not to inhale, the mist had a rather sweet scent, and he knew if he caught a whiff of the scent he will go down.
Dark tried to fought off the mist, his eyes starting to cloud with tears. He doesn't know why, but he felt that the mist brought in the feelings of longing and obsession. Flashes of images followed in, and he was not surprise to see that they were the same images as last night.
" Daisuke! Daisuke!" Dark yelled as he concentrated on his tamer while trying to ward off the strange mist. " what's going on? What's happening here? Daisu-"
Dark froze when he caught sight of his tamer, the blank look on his face was quite alarming" Daisuke? Daisuke! What's the matter? What's wrong with you? Daisuke, answer me!" Dark yelled frantically.
Dark coughed when the mist tried to invade his nostril. Such a sweet scent… like the smell of the ocean… the woodsy smell of nature… and the coldness of the falling snow… he suddenly felt rather blissful and content, a dreamy look rise on his face. Dark shook his head, trying to regain himself. He nearly lost it there…
Satoshi looks confused. Why is Daisuke standing and staring at him like that? His eyes are clouded with unnamed emotion, the dreamy look on his face, and his fair cheeks were starting to put on a soft blush, as soft as a rose petal. Satoshi blinks confusedly. What's up with Daisuke?
Daisuke continued to stare at Satoshi; incoherent thought started filling his numb mind. The foreign emotion was still rising inside him and he started to feel that his heart was blooming and beating rapidly. He was looking at Satoshi in a new way, as though it was the first time he ever met with the cool teen.
' So beautiful…' Daisuke mused dreamily, ' I can't believe how I didn't noticed this before but… Hiwatari-kun is the most beautiful person I've ever met. Like a wintry angel descending to earth, glowing his ethereal light…'
Dark gaped when he heard what Daisuke had thought; the pearly mist was now forgotten. " Daisuke! What the HELL are you talking about!" he yelled in disbelief.
" Hush, Dark…" Daisuke whispered absently, still can't tear his eyes off the icy boy, " I want to enjoy the vision of perfection in front of me. Let me be…"
Dark stared incredulously at the young boy. " WHAT. THE. HELL!"
Satoshi was starting to get really uneasy by the younger boy's stare. He was staring for ten minutes and hasn't even blink, it was getting on his nerves! They were also being rather silent…
" Anou… Niwa-kun? Daijobou ka? Is there… anything bothering you, Niwa?" Satoshi asked tentatively, breaking the red head from his spell.
Daisuke blinked at the sound of Satoshi's voice. Slowly, a smile formed on his face, so soft and so sweet that it made Satoshi blushed slightly.
" Hiwatari-kun…" Daisuke breathed softly, his cloudy eyes slowly turned into a misty sparkle and somehow there was a glow on his face, " I'm so happy to see you today!"
" You are!" Satoshi cried incredulously. Daisuke nodded blithely, and step closer to him, clasping his hands together.
" Yes, I am, actually," he replied, still smiling sweetly, " I'm very happy indeed…"
Satoshi looks nervously at him, feeling the heat rise as the younger boy drew closer. There was a rather odd look on Daisuke's face that unnerves him. " Umm… Niwa-kun…?" Satoshi felt a sweat bead rolled down his pale face as Daisuke inches closer. " Are you…" closer still. " … Sure you're feeling alright?" a few inches closer. Satoshi flinched slightly at the closeness of the two; they were so close, their noses nearly touched.
Satoshi stared into wide vermillion rubies that stared mistily back at him, a soft dreamy smile lingering on that sweet face. " Hai…" Daisuke breathed softly, his breath could be felt by the older teen, " … I'm fine. But I know what would make me feel even better…"
Satoshi gulped when those misty eyes were suddenly blazing and that dreamy smile tugged even wider. He gasped when Daisuke's face drew closer, his lips hovering millimeters away from his… so close, they could even kiss…
" N-Niwa…?"
" Hiwatari…"
' is he… is he going to kiss me?' Satoshi's mind screamed, ' in front of the ENTIRE CLASS! N-no, it can't be…'
Satoshi froze when warm hands touched his cheek.
" Hiwatari-kun… are you alright?"
Satoshi gave another gulp then nodded slightly. " H-hai!"
Daisuke smiled widely. " Good!"
Ice blue eyes widens with surprise when soft cherry lips dove in closer to seal their lips together--
" OKAY, CLASS!" their first period teacher burst in with hyper energy, causing everyone to jump and Daisuke quickly pulled away before he could do anything, " Get back to your places. We have an interesting course of history lessons coming right up!"
Everyone groaned and went to their places. There was a disappointed look on Daisuke's face as he stared longingly at Satoshi. He caught the older teen's eye and he flashed a promising smile before resuming to his seat.
Satoshi stood where he was for a moment, still rooted to his spot.
" Hiwatari, is there anything wrong?" the sensei asked.
" Iie, sensei…"
" Good, I suggest you return to your place!"
" Hai…"
He went back to his desk and slowly sat down. It wasn't when he relaxed on his chair did he realized that his breath was ragged and uneven and his heart was beating abnormally fast. His mind kept replaying the earlier encounter.
Satoshi glanced to his side and his eyes swept across the room. He caught sight of the red haired boy, who was keeping a fixed eye directly at him. Satoshi quickly turned away, avoiding that blazing gaze.
He traced a delicate finger on his lips, still feeling the shadow of those cherry lips that nearly kissed him. Satoshi felt the heat rising to his cheeks and quickly he placed a hand to his chest, trying to calm down his raging heart.
" I wonder what's wrong with Niwa-kun…" he whispered softly.

Vixxie-chan: Poor Satoshi! He'll be having major internal conflict after this. I am currently on chapter 5 and is nearly finished, so be on the alert. I may be updating the next chapter in a few days (depends on how much reviews I get though! Xp) many interesting things will be happening in the next chapter (hint, hint) and I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss what happens next.
Anyways, though I enjoy writing this fic, I am starting to walk on the path to writer's block lane. I have a main plot for the story but I need the little things to happen to get there. So, people, if you love me, or at least love this story, please send me ideas or suggestions to get this story moving. It would be ultimately appreciated if you do!
