Chapter 18- Failure to Understand

Daisuke awoke within a warm embrace. Relaxing into the body which lay with him he turned over so he could look at the face of his boyfriend. But he blushed greatly when he realised Satoshi was already awake and had been watching him, and was smiling gently at him.

As soon as he'd regained his senses from sleep and his head was awake enough to think clearly, Dai started to feel depressed again, his face must have shown his obvious concern for his brother as Sato held him close and stroked his hair reassuringly.

"Don't worry Dai- we'll go over there and check up on him after school" Pulling away quickly he looked up at Satoshi, shaking his head franticly tears forming in his eyes.

"N-no I have to go see him now-"Satoshi cut him off by placing a gentle finger over his lips.

"Shh Dai, give them chance to talk things through, I have a feeling this is the only way to sort this mess out."

"But D-Dark didn't feel safe with him, we shouldn't leave them alone t-together. Oh god I shouldn't have left him alone last night!"

"Oh come on Dai- do you really believe my brother is capable of stalking and attacking Dark? I know he's annoying as fuck but he wouldn't do something like that" He lifted Dai's turned away face back towards him and they looked deep into each other's eyes, ''Trust me''.

They seemed to stay like that forever holding each other's gaze neither one willing to be the first to look away. They'd both been shocked by Dark's extraordinary claims against Krad the night before, but Krad seemed just as surprised as they'd been- the accusations were clearly the ramblings of someone gone mad, but that thought hurt Dai. He didn't like to think of his Brother like that, it wasn't fair on him he'd been so good to him over the years- especially since their parents had passed away; he'd always done his best for Dai.

But the stress of it all was obviously finally getting the better of him, for this Dai felt guilty- would Dark's life have been better if he hadn't had to look after him?... After all, what teenage boy wanted the responsibility of a child to look after? But then again Dark hadn't been given the choice; he'd just been lumbered with him and at such a young age- barley old enough to be able to look after himself he'd suddenly been given the responsibility of another life.

And now the integrity and good intentions of another were being brought into question as a result of it all. No, he didn't want to be a burden to his brother anymore- and if he was correct in his assumptions- he didn't want to get in the way of his brother's love life. Krad and Dark were meant to be together, and because of him, his brother was distancing himself away from the man who had only Dark's best interests in mind.

"Well no... but..." Dai sighed heavily "I guess your right, it would be best to let them sort it out between them- I'm sure us hanging around them won't help."

Yes Dai would help get the two together no matter what- after all it was the least he could do to repay his brother back for looking after him for all of these years, his brother deserved some happiness with someone who loved him very much, and Krad was definitely the man for him.

Krad flipped Dark back over on the bed to face him, attempting to prevent him from falling asleep. But the boy continued to try and hide by shying away from Krad, hiding himself under the covers- his last barrier against the man.

After trying and failing various times to peel the covers away and extract the boy from the bedding, he finally sat back and surveyed, eventually he saw Dark's grip on the covers lessen slightly. Smirking he made his way beneath the sheets, crawling up till his body covered the boys smaller one.

Even in the darkness beneath the covers Krad could see the delightful flush of embarrassment across Dark's cheeks. Reaching up, he ran his fingers through the damp locks of hair that were an even darker shade whilst wet. He was finding it so hard to hold himself back from simply molesting the boy where he lay vulnerable and exposed beneath him- still in his nakedness, while his own clothed body rubbed against it. He so desperately wanted to rid himself of this cloth prison and intimately join with his pet- but no he must wait a little while longer yet- after all Dark had an important interview to get to.

Finally throwing the covers off of them both, Krad pulled Dark towards him and sat him on the edge of the bed, wrapping the towel he'd retrieved from the bathroom around the wet boy in a hug.

He could feel the light shivers that ran down Dark's body as he thoroughly rubbed him dry, and he allowed his hands to explore the body he'd longed to own for so many years. He was so close now to completing his plan- he just needed to endure for a short while longer, then the boy would unquestionably be his.

There intimate progress in the bath had pleased him very much, after all the boy had not ran away screaming and cussing- not that he'd have let him get away- but still Dark had not even really attempted to escape, but instead seemed to have enjoyed Krad's attention very much. He smirked to himself as he continued drying the naked body before him very content with the way things were going.

Sorry its not very long but I do have the next one written as well so when I next get chance it'll be posted too, but I currently have to go back and familiarize myself with whats gone on and what I was planning- because I can't even remember lol but I will finish this story!
