4. Daisuke's Pet (460 words)
Niwa Emiko always made it a point that Daisuke ate well. He was, after all, a Niwa; and so had to go through vigorous daily training. Furthermore, Dark was destined to manifest in the child… and would consequently need all the energy he could get.
It was understandable; therefore, that Daisuke was quite paranoid about Satoshi's health – considering how little the commander in chief ate everyday.
Daisuke made it his personal mission to see to it that Satoshi was well-fed. He ate with Satoshi every lunch period, extra large obento in tow, and refused to take a bite until the other boy promised to eat. Soon enough, Satoshi no longer attempted to refuse the shared lunches, and gave up on buying his convenience store meat buns daily.
And then, Daisuke found out that Satoshi never ate breakfast…
It was funny, really. Daisuke started bringing breakfast to Satoshi every morning on the way to school (those were the only days Emiko was not prone to suspect anything), and Satoshi didn't have the heart to tell the redhead that he disliked eating in the morning.
The supreme commander got used to it eventually. It helped that Daisuke stopped bringing too much food after that first time…
After less than a month of Daisuke knocking, food in tow, at his door every morning between 7 to 7:30; Satoshi decided that he would be better off coughing up his spare house key and bought enough breakfast food to last the both of them for a month. He couldn't be leeching off of Daisuke forever, after all… and Daisuke did actually enjoy cooking. Besides, Satoshi didn't think he could stand getting up to open the door for Daisuke without his body giving up on him for much longer.
Saehara Jr., being who he was, found out about all this eventually. Laughing, he told the two that Satoshi was rather like Daisuke's pet. After all, Daisuke brought him everywhere, (attempted to) coddle him, most definitely fussed over him, and fed him twice a day. Meanwhile, Satoshi followed quite willingly, (almost) never complained, and was "freakishly
protective" of the readhead. Daisuke spluttered and turned beet red, while Satoshi glared at Saehara, presumably for making the other boy feel embarrassed. (Personally, Takeshi thought that the supreme commander actually agreed with him.)
After practically a month, however, of Daisuke's embarrassment and Satoshi's constantly evil and nerve-wracking glare (as well as Satoshi keeping his hand on Daisuke's shoulder to reassure the smaller boy at all times, and a number of uncannily sweet and fluffy gestures); Takeshi openly decided that he was wrong about Satoshi being Daisuke's pet.
… And this time, he knew not to say out loud that he rather thought that Daisuke was quite like Satoshi's wife, instead.
