Chapter Seven

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The next day I woke with Daisuke clinging to me. Smiling down at him I kissed his hair and closed my eyes, reveling in the feel of my love being so close to me. I had to figure out a way to ensure that Koji never comes near him again. There was no way I'd let that fool hurt Daisuke. I smiled to myself, knowing exactly how to take care of him. Though, that was illegal and it'd result in my imprisonment.

Sighing I kissed the other's hair again. I could stay like this forever, just holding Daisuke close to me. It has brought such a wonderful feeling to have the other so near.

"Satoshi," Krad called from the doorway.

"What is it?"

"The food is ready. Takeshi-kun made pancakes."

"I'll be down in a few minutes; Daisuke's still asleep," I said softly.

"Well, whenever you're ready," Krad said, closing the door.

"I'm already awake," Daisuke whispered.

I looked down at him and smiled softly. "How long have you been awake, love?"

"Since Krad came in."

"Well good morning," I said, kissing him.

He grinned and returned it.

"My brother made breakfast. Your favorite," I smirked.

"Pancakes!"

I nodded and watched as he hurried out of bed.

Once I had showered and dressed I joined the group in the kitchen. Krad sat next to me, putting space between himself and Takeshi. I still had to find out his true feelings for my brother, after all I knew he wasn't being honest to himself. Though why should I care? It was Krad, the man who had been horrible to me for years. I shouldn't want to help him. I served myself my portion and began pouring syrup over it. When I put the sweet substance back, I watched Takeshi take it and mimic my earlier motion.

Oh, that's right, I thought sadly, I wanted to find out for my brother's sake, not Krad's. I sighed mentally and ate my breakfast in silence, occasionally letting my gaze fall on the person who made me the happiest.

Daisuke was eating like he hadn't eaten in months. I tried to hide my smirk and continued to watch him from the corner of my eye as we ate. He really was too cute. He even had some syrup on his cheek. I grinned and put my fork down softly, leaning over to him I licked the syrup off. I could feel the heat radiating off of his cheeks and it only made my grin widen.

Then, as if nothing unusual happened, I picked my fork up and continued to eat.

Takeshi and Krad were both staring at us with surprised expressions and Daisuke looked at me with a lopsided grin and shocked eyes. Krad was the first of the three to compose himself, quickly turning his attention back to the food on his plate. Takeshi was quick to follow, but Daisuke continued to watch me and I ate like normal.

Just as suddenly as I had, Daisuke leaned over and did the same to me, only he was licking at imaginary syrup. I blushed softly and looked at him. He grinned at my blush and went back to his stack of pancakes. My grin took over and I finished my food as soon as I saw Daisuke nearing his end.

Grabbing both our plates I washed them and then led Daisuke back upstairs, leaving the other two alone in an awkward silence.

"Well," I said, trying to erase the image of my brother licking my best friend and vice versa. That was disturbing. Usually Daisuke didn't act that way, but I guess the forced affection he had to show Koji made him realize how much he loved my brother.

"Hmm," Krad mumbled softly.

I tilted my head at him. He wasn't one to stay quiet like that. It was pretty odd if anyone was able to make Krad speechless. "What?"

Just then someone burst through the kitchen door.

"Hey, Dai-" Dark stopped mid word and looked around. "Where's Daisuke?" He was looking at me, acting as if Krad, the gorgeous angel, wasn't in the room.



"My brother took him upstairs," I said simply.

Dark grinned slyly and chuckled. "Oh, so their already at it."

"I think it'd be better if you kept you perverted thoughts to yourself. I'm sure Takeshi-kun doesn't want to hear anything like that," Krad said defensively.

"Who was talking to you, you ass?"

"Is that really all you can come up with? Dirty words suit a thief nicely I suppose."

"At least I'm not an annoying freeloader."

"Could have fooled me," he said, taking a bite of the pancakes I made him.

"People enjoy my company, when's the last time you could say the same," Dark asked, smirking cruelly.

Krad winced slightly but continued to chew on the pancake bite, though it was merely an excuse to avoid answering.

"I enjoy his company," I said softly.

Dark stared at me like I was crazy and Krad turned his gaze on me, looking almost pleased.

"What do you mean you enjoy hiscompany?! Have you not known him? He's the most annoying blonde there is and yet you 'enjoy his company'?"

"Yes," I said shortly. I looked at Krad and saw him attempt to appear not to care, but I could see the smile at the corners of his lips.

"You must be crazy Takeshi. Even your brother would agree with me, though I can't ask him right now," he sweatdropped.

"Why did you come here," Krad interrupted annoyed.

"To go to school with Daisuke," Dark said like it was the most obvious thing.

"Is it really wise to force the boy back into school? Won't that, Koji, still be waiting for him?"

"He has a point. I mean, if I know my brother, if he sees Koji attempt anything with Daisuke even just a handshake, he'll want to fight or throw him in jail right away without any evidence and send him straight to death row."

"His grades will suffer if he doesn't go," Dark said softly.

I grinned having an idea. "Why don't you pretend to be Daisuke and go to all his classes and deal with Koji yourself?"

"I look nothing like Daisuke!"

"All we have to do is Die your hair temporarily and you'll match him perfectly! I bet Satoshi would be the only one to know the difference!"

"It would eliminate your excuse," Krad said softly, grabbing our plates and washing them.

Dark sighed and looked up to the ceiling, almost like he was looking at the exact spot Daisuke was. "Fine, but he owes me," Dark said, pointing to Krad.

"Why does he owe you?"

"Because, if I have to do this then I want something good out of it. You or Daisuke owing me would be boring." He grinned cockily.

Krad glared at him and said, "I owe you nothing."

"Who got you your own body?"

"You thought I would be gone from existence!"

"Yeah, but still, I got you a body," he smirked.

"I refuse."

"Then I refuse."

"Like it matters to me."

I sighed as the two continued to bicker back and forth like kids. Standing from my chair I walked to Krad, going totally unnoticed by both men, and hugged him. As I did so I heard everything go silent, and Krad tensed. "Please," I said softly, trying to ignore how tense he had gotten. "Please do this for me."

Krad remained still as a statue, and I heard nothing from Dark.

It didn't matter how long I'd have to wait, I was being allowed to hold him, that was enough for me.

Finally he sighed. "Alright, Takeshi-kun. I'll do this for you."

I grinned and tightened my grip on him. "Thank you, Krad!"

Dark chuckled softly to himself. "It seems I already know what I'm going to ask for in return," he grinned. "Now, where's the hair dye?"



I quickly went to the store nearby, leaving the two to discuss whatever Dark wanted from Krad.

Once I bought the correct hair dye I ran back home to find Krad holding Dark by the collar while the other just grinned at him like he knew something.

"What'd I miss," I asked cautiously.

Dark grinned and was about to open his mouth but Krad quickly covered it. "Nothing, did you get the dye," he asked.

"Yeah," I said, still curious as to what I missed. I started for the stairs but paused. Turning on my heel I grinned apologetically and said, "Why don't we use the kitchen instead?"

Krad looked at me strangly but Dark burst into laughter. "They are going at it, aren't they?!"

Krad sighed and hit him over the head, "you're such an idiot."

Dark was about to retaliate but I quickly pulled him to a chair and began mixing the dye.

"Hey, I thought you said temporary…"

"It is. It should wash out in a week or two."

"Two weeks!"

"We don't know how long Daisuke will need to avoid school and really, you're our only hope."

Dark grinned, he loved feeling like it all revolved around him. "Alright, then let's do it!"

I smirked and began the process of changing Dark into Daisuke.

After about an hour we had gotten Dark's hair the right color and fixed his clothes so they'd look more like Daisuke's. We even found contacts to change his eye color so it too would match Daisuke's. Now the only thing left was to fix how he acted.

"If Koji kisses you-"
"I beat the crap out of him and tell him to go to hell," Dark cut me off proudly.

I sighed and put my hand on my forehead, "you have to act like Daisuke."

"I don't want to kiss that bastard!"

"Just go through with it you child," Krad sighed.

"Would you do it if the tables were turned?"

"…that isn't the case so my reaction doesn't matter."

"Guys," I tried.

"You can't just tell me to suck it up if you wouldn't do it either!"

"Well I wouldn't be such a whimp about it!"

"Yes you would you couldn't even admit-"

"GUYS," I yelled, finally getting frustrated of their constant bickering.

They stared at me wide eyed and stayed silent.

"Can we please just do this for Daisuke and Satoshi's sake?"

They both sighed and nodded.

"Alright, now when he kisses you," I began.

"I kiss back shyly," Dark said in a monotone voice.

"Good, and when he tried anything at all with you,"

"I blush like mad."

"Good, I think we got it."

"How can you be sure you'll blush," Krad asked curiously.

"Because I can make myself," Dark said proudly.

"Really," Krad said, obviously not believing him.

"Watch," Dark said. Then he did something I never expected. He grabbed my face and kissed me. My eyes were wide from the contact of his lips and I felt like my entire face was on fire. I tried to push him away but his grip was strong. Finally, he let me go. When he pulled back I could see the slight blush on his cheeks that looked exactly like Daisuke's. My eyes were still wide as he turned to Krad grinning.

Krad's jaw was tense as he continued to stare at us.

"See, I can blush whenever I want to," Dark said happily, enjoying Krad's angered look.

"Hm," he said softly, turning on his heel to find something to do.

"Why did you kiss me," I asked angrily when I was able to use my voice. Krad stopped and looked back at us, a small smile on his face that almost looked like he was relieved, but that was probably just my imagination.



"I had to prove it to him somehow and there was no way I was kissing him," Dark said like it was obvious.

"You could've just blushed! You didn't have to kiss me," I continued to yell.

He shrugged, "I was curious about something."

"Don't do that again, jerk," I growled, quickly moving away from him and closer to Krad.

Krad grinned and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, successfully making my face heat up again. "Takeshi-kun doesn't like you, Dark. I know that's surprising, but you have to learn to deal with rejection."

Dark glared at him and hmphed.

Krad grinned, liking this Dark more than the normal one. I smiled too, enjoying his arm around my shoulder.

I sighed happily under the blanket of my bed, pulling Daisuke closer to me. "I love you, Daisuke," I whispered.

He grinned sleepily and wrapped his arms around my bare waist. "I love you," he whispered back, snuggling his face into my chest.

I chuckled softly at him and ran my hand through his hair. I had heard the commotion downstairs, but honestly, Daisuke was far more interesting. I kissed his hair and whispered, "Shall we head to the shower? I'm sure the others are getting annoyed with waiting for our return."

I felt him blush against my chest. "I forgot they were here…" he said softly, slightly embarrassed.

I lifted his chin and kissed him properly. "Come, love," I whispered. I smiled down at him and began to slowly get up and guide him to the shower.
