WARNINGS: Uh… nothing out of the ordinary.

RATING: K

DISCLAIMER: I don't own DNAngel or Dance Dance Revolution… well, I do own two of the PS2 games, but that's about it.

A/N: Uh… No setting, really. Some RANDOM arcade that they happen to be near.

Krad stared at the large flashing machine with a look of bewilderment on his face, "Daisuke-san, what is this?"

"It's Dance Dance Revolution! Better known as DDR," Daisuke replied, linking his arm with Krad's.

"Oh," Krad simply replied and continued to stare at the machine. The redhead looked up at the blonde, who was still studying the machine. His mouth was slightly open and his eyebrows were furrowed.

"Come on, we're gonna play!" Daisuke laughed and pulled the blonde closer to the game.

"How does this work?" Krad asked, still looking a tad dazed.

Daisuke removed his dark red sweater and tied it around the rail behind the dance platform, "Hop up," the redhead grabbed Krad's hand again and pulled the boy up beside himself, "Stay here." Daisuke ran over to a change machine and made change for a five dollar bill.

"Daisuke-san, can we hurry this along?" Krad huffed, no longer amazed by the blinking lights.

Daisuke sighed and ran back over to Krad. He inserted four quarters into the machine and stepped on an arrow.

"Okay, so you select the level and when you choose the one you want you press this," Daisuke pressed 'accept,' "Then you choose the song using the left and right arrows. Pick one, Krad!"

Krad scrolled through the songs, "Daisuke-san, they're all… peppy…"

"It's dancing music!" Daisuke replied happily.

Someone had apparently noticed them playing and shouted, "CHOOSE DAIKENKAI!"

Daisuke laughed as Krad finally settled on a song and pressed the accept pedal.

"Okay, so now all you do is press the corresponding pedals when the arrows get to here," Daisuke pointed at the outline of four arrows near the top of the screen.

"Sounds simple enough," Krad shrugged and watched Daisuke play the first round.

"Now we'll play so we can both do a song at the same time!" Daisuke inserted four more quarters into the machine.

"We get to play against each other?" Krad asked.

"No. We play together! It uses both sides and we score together!" Daisuke smiled, "Plus it costs less."

"Ah. I see," Krad nodded, slightly disappointed that he didn't get to challenge the boy.

Daisuke went through all the steps as before. After two songs, Krad had become used to it.

"You can pick now, Krad," Daisuke smiled.

Krad scanned through the songs, silently cursing when he couldn't find one that he enjoyed. He sighed, and chose "random" from the menu.

Krad took a hint from the title that popped up on the screen showing which song had been chosen and figured it was a love song.

"AWESOME! We got Love Shine!" Daisuke said happily, "It's my lucky song!"

"Great," Krad replied with his own smile.

After the first few steps, Daisuke ended up almost tripping, so Krad took his hand, "We can't have you falling again, right?"

Daisuke blushed, "Yeah."

Daisuke blushed when he noticed Krad had completely ignored the fact that the song was over and he was still holding the redhead's hand.

"Krad, you can let go of my hand now, Krad."

"Don't wanna," Krad said in response, turning to the redhead with a warm smile on his face.

"Can I at least put my sweater back on?" Daisuke asked.

"Of course," The blonde answered and released the redhead's hand, allowing him to slip the sweater over his head.

As they walked back down the street, Daisuke slipped his hand into Krad's slowly.

To the surprise of the redhead, Krad didn't even seem to notice all the glares they were getting from random passerby.

"What's their problem?" Krad asked Daisuke and rolled his eyes.

Daisuke merely laughed, "We're holding hands. That makes some people uncomfortable."

"Then they can burn in hell."

Daisuke laughed again and leaned on Krad's shoulder.

A/N:

Two of my friends held hands and played Love Shine on my birthday because I said "OH!!! YOU TWO HAVE TO HOLD HANDS AND PLAY A FLUFFY SONG!!!"

Also, on a family night for my school, they had DDR and one of my friends kept shouting "PICK ECSTASY!" and "PICK BUTTERFLY" and "PICK DAM DARIRAM" over and over at the people who were playing XD.

Love Shine is my FAAAAAVORITE DDR song. Every time I play my PS2 DDR game, I HAVE to play this song and my friends make fun of me for it. One time, when I finally got to play on a machine, that was the first song I played.

And I don't know whether they have yen coins (that would get exhausting, inserting 100 one-yen coins, ne? XD) or what, so I just used quarters because I'm a bad child. So… THEY POOFED OVER TO AMERICA TO PLAY DDR!!! XDDDDDDD
