3. On Friendship (300 words)
---The drabbles are getting progressively longer... uh-oh.
Daisuke had always wanted to be Satoshi's friend. Even though Satoshi's purpose was to capture Dark, and even when every moment of their companionship threatened the appearance of Krad.
Satoshi has and will always be important to Daisuke, even if neither knew why.
Takeshi found the budding friendship vastly amusing. It was funny how Daisuke skittered around the taller boy, how proud and happy he became when Satoshi complimented or spoke to him, and how deflated the redhead became when the older boy ignored him. It was entertaining to see the flicker of a smile in the vaunted "ice prince's" eyes whenever he saw Daisuke, and the slight crease between the impassive boy's brows whenever the lively boy did something that could well be considered as stupid or got hurt. It was heartwarming to know that his oldest pal had managed to find such a great friend in Satoshi.
Sekimoto, Saehara, and Niwa had always spent their time together. Even though they were always called "best friends", Daisuke had always been apart, always had this different air about him. So when Daisuke expressed his want to start eating with Satoshi, Takeshi elbowed Masahiro to stem a likely protest, and simply joked about having to cook lunch now that Daisuke was bringing his bountiful Emiko-prepared food to other horizons. For a moment, Daisuke frowned and looked unsure, and Takeshi had to hastily convince the younger boy that he didn't mind cooking and packing lunch himself, rambling about having to get used to it because it was essential for a reporter.
The next day, when Niwa happily shared his food with the confounded Hiwatari, Sekimoto understood Saehara's eager support. He'd never seen either of them look so happy, even if it was just a small twitch of the corner on Hiwatari's lips.
...The way I see it, since Takeshi's an aspiring reporter, he should be very observant. Even if it doesn't seem like it... and I found Sekimoto's first name from a site that listed DNAngel's voice actors and such... T-T Does anyone know the given name of Satoshi's adoptive father? I can't seem to remember (it's not in the manga, but I think it's mentioned in the anime. Seiichirou? Keiichirou? Something like that?)
Kawsek: What's with the throwing chocolate bit? (not that I don't like it)
kyo's little koneko: Thanks. Sorry if you can't stand Takeshi... coz he's a main player here, and in the next drabble too...
Misoka Mine: Thanks. :) Hahah, Daisuke probably makes everyone feel better... :P As for Takeshi... I like my view of him so much that he's a main player in 3 out of 7 drabbles... :P
