'No he really IS staring at you. Turn around when the bell rings and see for yourself.'
'Fine. I'll do it to prove you wrong.'
Thankfully the bell rang five minutes later. Dai turned around immediatly and looked at Hiwatari Satoshi.
'See Dark hes looking out the window, oblivious to the bell.'
'Maybe, maybe not. Hes a creep no matter what way you see it.'
Hiwatari isnt an it Dark.' Dai scolded his other half.
Dai stood up, put his books in his bag and walked back four rows to Hiwatari's seat, by the window. "Um...Hiwatari-kun?"
Satoshi turned his calculative ice blue eyes covered in his cold metal rimmed glasses towards him and it seemed Dai's very blood froze with the look. As Satoshi realized who was speaking to him his gaze lightened to a friendlier one.
"Yes, Niwa-kun?"
"I hate that look." Dai said flatly. "Seventh hour is over. Its time to go home."
"Oh, thank you, Niwa-kun."
"I dont mind. Do you wanna walk to the park then go our own ways?"
"Sure." That was their normal route for months after they got close when Dai was returned from the second hand of time (time order may be skewed)
Satoshi collected his things and stood up. "Ech! A spider." One girl screeched as she was about to leave the room. "I hate hate hate spiders. Their so creepy."
"She's scared of a little tiny spider?" Dai shook his head.
"That reminds me Niwa-kun. What are you afraid of?"
Dai smiled. "Dark said your cheating. You shouldn't be asking questions like that. I wont mind if you guessed and it accidently slipped out, though Dark might be mad." He said as they walked down the hallway side by side, ignoring the whispers.
"Oh my! Hes so hot and hes so cute and athletic."
"They could rule the school if they dated!" Another girl cooed.
"Satoshi is so handsome!" A third almost fainted.
"Yeah Satoshi is but Daisuke is cute. Satoshi is better though." A fourth exclaimed.
"Looks like you win this round, Hiwatari-kun."
For a couple weeks now they had a bet going to see which one of them had more fan girls and so far it was Satoshi with 27 and Dai with 19.
"Dont worry Niwa-kun. You'll make a comeback." They laughed before they left the fan girls behind.
"You seemed to have lightened up since the Second Hand of Time Hiwatari-kun. Im glad you have opened up."
"Thanks to you, Niwa-kun. You were so persistant to get me to open up and then when Dark and I almost lost you we both realized how much we almost lost." He ruffled Dai's hair. "Back to our previous topic. You arent afraid of spiders. Ghosts? The dark? Bugs? Heights?"
"No, no, no and no. If I was afraid of heights, Hiwatari-kun, Dark wouldnt be able to fly very high, now would he?"
"True." He made a 'hmm'-ing sound thinking of something Dai was afraid of. "Water? No, you swim. monsters under your bed? That Santa isnt real? That you'll get coal for Christmas?"
"Now, Hiwatari-kun, dont kid like that. I dont want coal for Christmas." Dai almost played it off that he still believed in Santa if he could keep a straight face. "No, Im not afraid of any of those."
"I cant think of anymore." It was okay because they were coming up on the park.
Before Satoshi could begin walking away Dai stopped him. "What are you afraid of, Hiwatari-kun?"
"Being alone." He said as he walked off.
'Poor Hiwatari-kun. He had a lonely childhood.'
'He deserves it.' Dark said. 'Creepy boy has Krad in him. He cant be close to anyone or else Krad will come out. It taxes him to just walk with you like you two do everyday.'
Dai nodded. He knew the implications of Satoshi accidently losing against Krad in one of their walks. He wasnt afraid of it anymore.
'I know Dark.' Dai began walking home.
'Yet you're fine with it?'
'Im not afraid of Krad anymore. Like you he can be beaten and has a limit. Hes mortal like everyone else.'
'Im proud of you Dai. It took your ancestors years before accepting Krad like that. It only took you WOW less than a year. Wait Ill be with you for a year in a week. You turn fifteen. One of your ancestors had me for three days before someone admitted they liked him back. That was fun and I was out once and had to wait fifty years before coming to your grandpa.'
'Sorry Dark. If you want out, tell me sometime. Unless you want to do something gross Ill let you out when ever you want. Just try not to get me A Killed B in a situation like last week with the cat lady. I have scars from the cats or C in jail.'
'Thanks Dai.' He was happy to be with Dai. None of Dai's ancestors accepted him so fully. 'You're like a little brother to me.'
'You're like a big brother to set the example of what not to be when I get older, but a big brother none the less.'
In the back of his mind Dai felt Dark smile warmly at him.
