A/N: ahahahaha...a short thingy that I hope makes up for the craptacular recent updates on my behalf. I personally like it... I think.
Disclaimer: If I owneth, Dark would NOT be seen b the public eye, because I can get a little possessive.
Dark has never enjoyed school, but he has been forced to sit through a few generations worth of it.
This generation though… this generation is different, because being able to watch the one you cherish most, sometimes even help him… that makes it slightly more bearable.
Of course, childish games and teasing always ensue, and while it may seem immature to most, it's always those small blushes he triggers from Daisuke, those not-so-angry growls he emits when he's annoyed… it's those small moments that mean the most to Dark.
And he's sure that Daisuke feels the same.
Daisuke will often pretend to be mad at his counterpart, but a few well placed whines and pleading tones will get Daisuke to forgive him, to make him smile again.
It's those smiles that make Dark's day just that much brighter because I love him
Dark loves how hard Daisuke will try to concentrate, which always results in subconscious doodles of random things, I love it when he draws me the most.
Dark patiently wishes for the class to end, so that he can try to get some alone time with Dai, though it's not as if he isn't already alone with him. Being an alter-ego can provide that for you. It sometimes makes up for the somewhat unbearable, taunting conditions they already live in, but it isn't always enough.
Dai, lost in thought, also wishes for the classes to end, because classes are so boring, and sometimes, there's just a few too many people around. Questions about the "Great Phantom Thief" always throw Daisuke off. He will blush a bit, and then stammer out a lame excuse as to why he can't go see the 'show'.
He's lost count of the number of times he has had to outrun Takeshi to prevent being kidnapped and forcibly dragged to a heist. Although he is sure that Dark would help him in some shape or form.
Dark listened in on tonight's art assignment. Apparently, Daisuke had to draw someone he cared about most. He listens in as most of Dai's friends talk about their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and family.
Idly, Dark wonders who Daisuke will draw, hoping with every fibre of his being, that it will be him. That he will be the one Daisuke cherishes most.
Everyone deals with insecurity.
Recently, it's been harder to read about what Daisuke is thinking, harder to understand him. Dark sometimes wishes to know exactly where he stands with the boy.
He knows he's important.
Dark is a part of Daisuke, and Daisuke is a part of Dark.
Dark and Daisuke are one.
You could literally say they're inseparable to some degree.
Unfortunately, that's not enough. Because when the bell rings, Daisuke will go to his boyfriend not me and Dark will suffer in the dark recesses of his mind and try not to watch his beloved with the creepy boy because it's not me.
Instead, it's his most hated- his enemy- his rival.
He guessed he should be used to it by now, but knowing that it wasn't he who puts the majority of smiles on Daisuke's face…
That he wasn't Daisuke's most cherished…
That he was only his alter ego. The one who got in the way all the time and forced Daisuke to commit crimes that he didn't want to commit.
Of course, being a part of him, he knew he meant something to the boy.
It hurt, because to Dark, meaning something, was not everything, and sometimes that wasn't enough.
A/N: Okies. That's the end of that. I now take this time to notify you of my bastard son. Titled: Crimson Regrets. Under the name of Dark Mage Makai. It is our co-project that needs love too. It should be updating in the near future, so, keep a look out for it. It deals with vampireism and all that funfun joyjoy stuff. Definitely out of my area of expertise, and miles away from my box.
On another note ZOMG!
Whats this you say?
Not an AU?!
...AHHHHHHHHH!!
That's right folks. This is practically canon.
