His hand came up and brushed the red out of the way and it was...
"Dai!" He whispered.
Dai's sleeping form moved some and Satoshi realized Dai's arms were wrapped around him as if holding on to reality.
Satoshi pried Dai's arms from around him and sat up on the edge of the bed. A whimper came from Dai as Sato's body left him. The normally blank face of Satoshi's face broke into a smile and combed his fingers through Dai's hair until he calmed down again.
After calming Dai down and getting off the bed Satoshi walked into his bathroom to take a shower. The shower Satoshi took lasted well over half an hour, almost an hour, since Satoshi had low blood pressure, so half of it was with Satoshi standing there trying to wake up.
When Satoshi got out of the shower he realized he hadnt taken anything into the bathroom with him except for his towel. He wrapped the towel around his waist tightly and walked out of the bathroom.
Satoshi walked into the bedroom with his dripping hair in his eyes (making him look hot...just to inform you) and walked over to his nightstand to get his glasses. Dai was asleep on his side facing the nightstand as Satoshi walked over.
As he reached for his glasses, Satoshi's wrist was grasped by Dai, who was actually awake since Satoshi had gotten into the shower. An odd knowing smile spread across Dai's face.
"You dont need those, Satoshi." He said in more of a statement than a question. "You just use them to keep people further away."
Satoshi nodded with a smile playing with his lips. "So you know my little secret. How'd you figure out?"
"The day I had fallen down the stairs and you caught me, your glasses shattered like normal glass instead of tempered glass used for vision correction.(Um...is that true? IDK it helps the story) The glass in yours was like a television prop. You had been using them to make you seem even colder, to keep people away."
"And yet it didnt work." A smile was fixed on Satoshi's lips although they hadnt moved from their position.
"Im just an exception, Im used to disguises. Since the first day I saw you I kind of figured what the real use for your glasses were for." He reached over with his other hand and grabbed Satoshi's glasses. "You dont need these anymore unless you have become too accustomed to them. Do you fear being yourself that much?"
"Its just a habit now. May I, please, have my glasses?"
"No." Dai said as a fake pout graced Satoshi's lips.
"Come on. Why not? Theres no harm."
"You're free from Krad. You have no need for them. Satoshi, you dont have to hide anymore. Theres so much you can do now that you're free. You can have friends, real ones, that arent your enemy's Tamer. Girlfriends, socialization, love, parties..."
"And with each comes some kind of pain. Heart break, bullies, clean up crew..."
"But, Satoshi, with each comes happiness. With each comes life. You have a life worth living, dont waste it."
Satoshi nodded. "Now, may I have my glasses back?" Dai's head shook in a definite NO manner. "Come on, Dai, why not?"
"You use them to hide. Dont do that anymore. Besides you look a lot better without them on." A slight blush graced Satoshi's cheeks. "Though I'd recommend you have some clothes on before flirting with the girls."
Dai had tugged lightly on the towel to remind Satoshi what he was wearing. The blush that was already on Satoshis cheeks darkened slightly.
"Hai. I just might want to change. Dont want to let some innocent mind see whats below." He laughed at the blush that appeared on Dai's face. "Im kidding, Dai. I wouldnt do that to you. Wouldnt want you thinking things about me."
There was an odd glint in Satoshi's eyes that told Dai he might MIGHT be lying with the last sentence he said. The blankets were pulled over Dai's head as a muffled response came.
"Hurry up. Im not staying here for long."
"Just wait a second while I put on something down below." Both blushed even more but thankfully didnt see the others blush.
Satoshi dug through a drawer to get some boxers to put on. He pulled on a pair of navy blue boxers before saying anything to Dai.
"Alright Dai I have something on." Dais head came tentatively out from under the blankets, knowing Satoshi could put clothes on that fast.
Dai turned almost as red as his hair when he saw all Satoshi was wearing was boxers. "C-could you at least put a shirt on?" Dai whined.
"What? Am I thank skinny?" Satoshi had turned halfway around to look at Dai's blushing face.
"N-no. Thats not what I meant!" He realized how perverted that sound then began waving his hands infront of his face. "I didnt mean that either. I meant that..."
"I know what you meant. I was just teasing you. Its just too easy to tease you." Dai blushed even more before chucking a pillow at Satoshi.
The pillow hit Satoshi's head. "Hey! What was that for?"
"For teasing me!" Dai said as Satoshi pulled on tight blue jeans and a white tee-shirt. "I hate when people tease me. Its not fair. Not my fault im short and girly looking."
"Who said you were girly looking?" Satoshi said as he stalked towards Dai with the pillow.
Dai crawled out of the bed opposite of where Satoshi was standing, also holding a pillow. "Saehara, Harada twins, Mio Hio..."
The list went on. "Okay. So a few people thing you have feminine features. Its just because you havent filled out completly yet." He fake lunged at Dai with the pillow.
"Gah. Satoshi!" Dai lept back then did a flying jump over half of the bed to retuen the attack.
Satoshi lept up on the bed too with his pillow in hand and began a pillow fight with Dai. Satoshi's pillow came in and hit Dai in the shoulder while Dai's hit Satoshi in the head.
Before long, the pillows were just feathers littering the floor, bed, the teens hair, and anything else in the room. After Satoshi's pillow had broken , he had changed his plan of attack.
Before five minutes passed with the pillow fight, Satoshi had Dai pinned back down on the bed and was sitting lightly on his stomach, using his legs to keep Dais arms pinned to his side.
"Give up, Dai?"
"Never." Dai's eyes were sparking with mirth. "Ill never give in to you!"
Satoshi found that amusing and began laughing before tickling Dai.
"A-hah...Hahahaha. Haahaahahaahahahaha." Dai was wiggling around like a fresh caught fish on eighty pounds of Mountain Dew (sounds like me...). "Sa... haahahahaha... Sato... haha... shi... haaahahahehe hehehahahehaheha... s-hahaha stop... hehahehahehahaha tickling me!"
Satoshi stopped tickling Dai and looked at him curiously as he caught his breath. "You alright?"
"Yeah. Its not fair. I am so ticklish! And you're not."
"How do you know that?" Satoshi asked, questioning Dai's thesis.
"Well...I ...I dont."
"Exactly." He climbed off Dai and helped him sit up. "How are you feeling? Did I over do it?"
"No no. Im fine. I told you I still heal quickly, weather Darks in me or not." He showed Satoshi the cuts on his arms from the vines and they were almost healed, even the bruises from the day before were disappearing. The bruises on his soul would take much longer to heal.
"Im glad you're better."
"So am I. Since im better can we have some fun?"
"What are you thinking of first? Then I'll answer you."
Dai smiled and grabbed Satoshi's hand, pulling him out the room. They heard a maid saying to another that Krad was with Dark about something.
They went down the hall and stopped at the stairs. "Come on Satoshi! Its the fastest way down."
Satoshi held up a finger while pulling his cell phone out and dailing the butlers number. "Good morning to you too, James. Would you mind bringing the air pillow out to the bottom of the stairs? Thank you."
"Air pillow?"
"You'll see. Since I havent been down this way in years I planned a little safety precaution." Satoshi smiled at Dai. "You or me first?"
"Together! It'll make us to go faster and it'll be like a sled ride."
"Are you sure? It goes pretty fast being one person." Dai nodded like a little kid, impatiently but with a smile.
"Come on Satoshi! Are you scared?" He was bouncing up and down in anticapation.
"No Im not."
"Then come on. You're gonna be up front. Im not going first." Satoshi smiled and nodded.
He climbed up on the rail right before it started to plumett at a very steep angle. Dai climbed on and grabbed Satoshi around the waist.
"You okay, Dai?"
"Yeah." He was so pumped for the ride down.
Satoshi reached down, crossing his arms almost like he was sick, but grabbed the same hand of Dais in his. "You sure you're ready?"
"Satoshi!" Dai whined. "Stop procrastinating!"
With that they both went over the edge and started down the steep, VERY STEEP, descent to the bottom floor.
Satoshi and Dais lips were right on the edge of flapping and their cheecks seemed to be doing the wave as their eyes watered.
"Wahoo!" Dai yelled before he put his head on Satoshi's shoulder.
Satoshi gripped Dai's hands tigher as each floor passed by, for they were picking up speed from going so long and after each floor the descent got even steeper causing them to speed up even more. Dai squeezed Satoshi's hands encouragingly in response.
After going throught he last turn Dai saw the 'Air pillow' but it was actually like the giant inflatable bouncy things you see in a lake you get bounced off of to go in the water except it was only about seven feet across and was a good distance away from the bottom of the stairs.
Dai 'AGH'-ed as he lifted his head up and as they shot off the banister flying through the air a ways to land perfectly in the middle of the 'air pillow'.
A gasp left Dais mouth as he let go of Satoshi and flopped back on the landing device with his eyes closed.
"Dai? Are you okay?" Satoshi's voice was shaky and Dai could feel his tremors through the giant pillow.
"Yeah." His eyes were still closed. "You're shaking. Were you that scared? You WERE holding my hands tight enough." He laughed at Satoshi's sigh of relief and half formed protests.
Dai laughed even more when Satoshi flopped down beside him making him go up in the air some. His eyes were closed as he rested some in silence with Satoshi.
"That...was awesome." Dai finally said.
"Pssh." Satoshi said as a reply.
"Just admit it, Satoshi, you were scared. You hadnt ridden down it in so long that you didnt remember how fast it was."
"Fine. I'll admit it. It scared me." He 'heh'-ed at the end and sat up. "Want some food? I know how to make pancakes."
"What time IS it?" A maid was walking by them when Dai asked.
"Its almost noon sirs. Eleven fourty to be exact."
"Thank you, Elise." Satoshi nodded as he helped Dai into a sitting position.
She nodded and left the two alone.
"Satoshi." Dai whined.
"Yeah Dai?"
"I'm not hungry so..."
"Again?" A nod. "Alright. Come on then."
Dark came over around two, dragging Krad back after giving him another potion to not be able to hurt Dai.
After reaching the house Krad walked off to sulk while Dark stood inbetween the stairs and the air pillow, listening to Metallica.
Dai came sweeping down the banister, slightly ahead of Satoshi and both saw Dark below them. Dark! Dai yelled verbally and mentally.
"Dai, lean against me and lock your legs with mine." Dai did as he was told.
Dai was leaning against Satoshi, who had leaned back some to drag his hands down the banister, slowing them down.
When they were close to the end of the banister, Satoshi unlocked their legs and wrapped his left arm around Dai's slim waist.
They kind of floated off the end of the rail and Satoshi landed first then put Dai down lightly. "You alright, Dai?"
He seemed a little pale but otherwise fine. "Yeah. How about we dont try that anymore?"
"I would agree, but you'd have to ask Dark that."
Dark was just realizing what happened and was pulling the headphones of the Ipod out of his ears. He ruffled his hair.
"Sorry, Dai."
Dai gave him a dark (no pun) look and leaned against the railing. "Why be sorry now, Dark? You didnt care last night."
Satoshi decided to walk off and let the two bicker. "I tried to tell you what happened but I couldnt even find our connection."
"Because I broke it. I blocked you from touching my mind."
"Then you did what many of your ancestors couldnt. They could never keep me out of their mind."
"Why ARE you here?"
"I came to apoligize. Everything was so hectic that day when I gave Krad the potion it slipped my mind. Please, Dai, believe me when I say that I did mean to protect you."
Dai gave him a forgiving smile. "You owe me big time then."
Dark was so overjoyed, he lept forward and scooped Dai up in a hug. He spun Dai in circles while hugging him, Dark was so happy.
After putting Dai down Dark spoke. "I gave him another potion. I fixed it. I really am sorry, Dai."
"I know Dark." Dai hugged him again.
Dark smiled and brushed his hand through Dai's long spiky locks. "You should think about tying that hair back."
"Dark?" Dai pulled back from the hug.
"Yeah, Dai?"
"You know you're like my brother right?"
"Yeah?"
"If I told you I had...wrong thoughts...about another guy...?"
"Dai," Dark ruffled Dai's hair. "I wouldnt care. What made me be so close wasnt your sexual preferance it was your attitude and whats inside."
"Thanks Dark."
"So tell me, Who is it you have those thoughts about?"
Dai blushed. "Im not telling you. Not that we're apart you cant search my mind, so I dont have to tell you."
"Not fair." Dark pouted.
"I wont tell you. Come on, Im hungry."
Both started walking to the kitchen where Satoshi was waiting with Krad.
"Afternoon Krad." Dai said almost emotionlessly.
Krad looked up and...smiled at Dai. "Hey Daisuke."
"Okay, anyone else think thats totally creepy?"
"Yeah." Satoshi said. "Dark did it."
Dais head turned to Dark. "Whats with him?"
"Hes acting like a normal seventeen year old. He has no evil thoughts. Hes now as normal, and normal thinking as you me or creepy boy. Since I based eveything he kind of knows now, hes sorta well..."
"Dark." Satoshi and Dai said.
"Well I based all of his normalcy on the three of us so...well...I think Krads gay."
"Wait a second." Dai almost yelled, making everyone pause and look at him. "If Krads gay, that would mean a majority of us was gay. Well im just going to ignore it for now because my brain is hurting way too much to concentrate."
Dai snorted. "Thats normal for you Dai."
"Is not." Dai crossed his arms.
"Fine. Its not but I love teasing you."
Dai's expression fell a lot. "Everyone does."
Dark realized everyone really did pick on Dai and teased him.
Dark opened his mouth to talk but Dai spoke first. "Who wants food?"
"Me." Krad said.
"Satoshi?"
"Sure."
Dai went to the fridge and pulled out so many different types of meats and cheeses that they filled his arms up.
"He makes the best sub sandwich." Dark said.
After about ten minutes Dai had four sandwiches done and were huge. They had to have three pieces of bread to keep it all there.
Everyone started on their sandwiches and complimented Dai's sandwich making.
'Dai?' Dark said mentally to the boy next to him.
'What Dark?' He sounded impatient.
'I didnt mean to tease you so much. Theres just not much I could ever do when I was stuck in your head for almost two years.'
'I know. Its just a testy subject for me.' Dai kept eating his sandwich in silence.
'You figured why I came, didnt you?'
'I have an idea.'
'Emiko's court date is Wednesday. The one week anniversary since you were in the necklace.'
'Yeah, I know. The necklace still gives me nightmares. It was so dark in there and nothing else was there.' A shudder went through Dai's body.
Satoshi noticed the shudder and watched Dai. He realized he was talking to Dark so he would be fine.
'That first night you were in there I stayed up the whole night watching you in that thing.'
'I know. I felt your presence. Then the second night Satoshi had the necklace. His presence was there just like yours. That doesnt explain why you decided to come completly.'
'The court needs you to come and testify.'
"I cant testify against my own mother." Dai accidently spoke out loud. He clamped a hand over his mouth and blushed.
'Its either that, Dai, or let her stay out of the asylum and let her beat you.'
A sigh escaped Dai's lips. 'I dont have much of a choice do I?'
'Not really. Sorry, Dai.'
'Ill be fine Dark.'
Dark hugged Dai and whispered in his ear. "I think creepy boy is into you."
Dai squeaked. "What?" A blush errupted along his face making him look like a ripe strawberry, complete with strawberry smelling hair.
Dark gave Dai his costumary smile and nodded. "Well think about it, Dai."
Dai glanced over at Satoshi, who was watching him too. "Dark," Dai said calmly, no blush on his face, surprising everyone. "You lie and you're so dead."
Dai lept up and started chasing Dark around the house. leaving a laughing Krad and chuckling Satoshi behind them.
"Its true Dai!" Dark called. "This stinks. Of course you had to grow up and be my height so you can run just about as fast as me! Not cool!"
"You're just afraid Im gonna pass up your looks. Dont worry. I still look like a girl."
"You do not. Ask anyone. You dont anymore. A year and a half with me and you've grown into a handsome young man." Dark turned on Dai and began chasing him.
Echoes of 'PERVERT' and 'RAPE' and a few 'PERVERTED KAITOU's came to Satoshi and Krads ears, making them laugh more.
By the time Satoshi and Krad walked to where Dark and Dai were they expected the younger pinned to the ground by the echoes.
"Stupid fast reactin spiky haired runnin porcupine!" Dark growled from where his face was planted into the floor. "Just had to have fast reflexes like me, didnt you?"
"I have to have more to beat you." Dai said from the spot where he was sitting on Darks back. "Better reflexes, faster movements, all around im better than you now. You're gettin old Dark."
A mumble and grunt was Darks response, making Krad laugh so hard he fell down.
"Hey, Sato, I have an idea." Satoshi walked over to Dai, where Dai could whisper in his ear. "The slide."
Satoshi nodded and helped Dai get Dark up with out him breaking loose.
"No. I cant get loose. How can this be? Mr. Intelligence has a strong grip. Lemme go. C'mon lemme go." By that time they had Dark in the elevator and Krad was still laughing.
"Dark, just admit you're getting too old for this stuff."
"Im not!" Dark was struggling again and had his legs wrapped around Krads throat.
Krad easily got loose. "Aww now, Darky, dont be so mean." Krad held Darks legs where he was stretched out between the three.
Dark growled as the three walked him to the stairway. "Nononononono. I dont like this. Not one bit."
Krad put Darks legs over the railing and sat infront of him. Satoshi and Dai gave Krad Darks arms so Krad would hold Dark to him.
"Here we go!" Krad called laughing as they started down the rail.
Satoshi and Dai heard Dark scream bloody murder in a high squeal. "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!"
Dai had to sit down because he was laughing so hard. He stood up still chuckling and looked over the rail to watch Krad and Dark slide down.
"Your not going to let him live this down, are you?"
"No." (those two lines are from Harry Potter 4 when Ron dances w/ McGonnagal [Sp?)
Satoshi chuckled. "Good. What did he say to you earlier to make you blush then chase him?"
"Uh...Heh..." Dai lept up on the rail. "Later."
Satoshi chuckled and lept up on the rail. "You're not getting away that easily."
Dai was only a few feet away from Satoshi and Satoshi was gaining fast. "Agh. Not cool." Dai leaned back, making himself less air resistant, going faster.
Satoshi was too close to lose by the time Dai leaned back. The older boy was right there behind him and wrapped an arm around Dai's waist.
"You arent getting away that easily." He said in Dai's ear, pulling himself closer to Dai.
Dai 'eep'-ed but stayed still. Satoshi put his head on Dai's shoulder and his breath ghosted cross Dai's neck making him shiver.
Satoshi lifted his head just in time to fly off the rail and the two landed in a tangled heap beside Dark and Krad.
Dai was entagled with Satoshi, their legs tangled together and Satoshi laying on Dai still with an arm wrapped around him.
"...Had to throw me on the railing...didnt give me a chance...just shoved me on there." Was what Dai heard from Dark as he layed below Satoshi.
"Um...Satoshi...?"
"Sorry Dai." Satoshi said blushing then pulled Dai up with the arm that was STILL wrapped around his waist.
All four sat on the air pillow for a couple minutes. "Who wants another go?" Krad asked.
All three happily said yes. Dark had already forgiven them since it was so much fun.
"Lets go!" Dark said as his wings sprouted from his back, smaking Krad in the face.
Krad spat a few feathers out of his mouth. "Watch where you put those things, Darky."
Dai snorted at the nickname Krad had for Dark but only Satoshi heard the snort.
"Kraddykins, Ill put my wings where I want." By that time Dai and Sato were barely able to contain their mirth.
"Then fly up. It'll be faster." Krad said.
"Thats not Fair." Dai said.
"Why's that, Dai?" Dark asked.
Dai blinked at him like he was stupid. "Dark, you arent even that stupid." Satoshi said.
Dark looked confused before Krad slapped him on the back of the head. "Idiot. Wings. They have no wings."
"Red bull gives you wiiings!" Dark said laughing as Krad slapped himself hard on the forehead.
Dai shook his head and stood up. He rolled his eyes at the continued argument between Dark and Krad.
Before anyone realized it Dai was already walking to the elevator. When Satoshi realized Dai was gone, he was already in the elevator going up.
"Dark you idiot. Dai's already going up." Satoshi said.
Krads wings sprouted from his back and if Satoshi didnt duck he would have been knocked down. "Come, Satoshi-sama."
Satoshi held a finger up a second and spoke quietly to Dark. "You better have made Krad not obsess about me."
"I believe that changed too." Dark said back.
Satoshi nodded and walked over to Krad, who scooped him up by grabbing his butt to hold Satoshi to himself.
"Dark!" Satoshi was getting mad but couldnt say anything because Krad lifted off.
A couple minutes later three of the four were at the top of the stairs, Dai was sitting backwards wating for them. When Dark appeared over the rail it scared Dai so much his body scooched backwards and he started going down backwards.
Krad, amazingly, lept up on the rail to go help Dai. He went sliding down forwards, speeding pretty fast.
"Dark, you said you based Krad's actions on the three of us. If hes gay now, you are such a womanizer ...does that mean he...?"
"I think he is...hes my opposite. I like women and he likes guys. I wear black, he wears white. Yin and yang."
Dai was going backwards, actually not afraid, then Krad came into view and he began to get fidgity.
"Stay away from me Krad." He said.
"Come now, Daisuke, Im just trying to help you."
"I dont need help. Im just fine." Krad was getting closer to Dai where it felt like Dai was sitting in Krads lap.
Krad stuck his hand on the railing between them and 'accidently' touched Dai's parts.
"PERV! CHILD MOLESTER!" Dai's screech was heard up where Dark and Satoshi were.
"I didnt mean to." Krad said with a smile.
"Liar." Krads hand was still between them.
Krad went to lift his hand back up and more forcefully 'accidently' touched Dai's parts again.
The FWAP sound resounded up Dark and Satoshi. "Score: Dai 1 Krad 2." Dark said.
"No. Dai hit him in the face with raw meat, and hit him last night during the movie. There was also the fight in the hall." Satoshi said.
"Revised score: Krad 2 Dai 4. Wow Dai really has changed. He would never stand up to Krad or get seriously angry."
"I think we both agree the new Dai is good though."
"Yeah."
That was when they heard the soft THUMP of the two hitting the air pillow and a scream from Dai.
"GET OFF ME YOU PERV!"
"I think we'd better go help him." Satoshi said.
Dark nodded and laid on the banister. "Give me a little push."
Satoshi shook his head good naturedly. "You really are daring, Dark."
"Thats how theives are."
With that Dark was gone.
When Dark went around the last turn Krad was standing up. Dark flew off the railing and slammed into Krads back making them to fall on Dai.
Dai screeched as Krad fell back on him. "Dark!"
"Sorry Dai." He got off Krad quickly.
Dark pulled Krad off Dai, who had been feeling Dai again. Dai stood up. "Let me at him. Come on let him have one good swing." Dai said as Dark held him away from Krad.
"Breathe, Dai." With that Dark pulled him off the air pillow as he heard Sato come around the last corner.
Satoshi slammed into Krad again except this time into Krads legs, buckling them.
Dark and Dai laughed at the sight of the other two. Satoshi was laying on his stomach on the air pillow with everything below Krads knees below him and Krad was sitting on his back.
"Get off my back Krad." Satoshi growled.
Krad began getting off Satoshi and 'accidently' squeezed Satoshi's butt. Satoshi hissed at the contact and knocked Krad off him the rest of the way, as he sat up.
"You have a firm ass Satoshi-sama." Krad admitted.
Satoshi blushed and looked over at the other two, one laughing, the other blushing deeply.
"I quite agree with Dai, Krad. You ARE a perv." Satoshi stood up
"Im hurt, Satoshi-sama. That really hurt." He wasnt phased for long because his hand came up and grabbed Satoshi's butt again.
Satoshi gave him a very aggitated look, letting Krad know how little patience he had with him.
Ten o'clock at night found the four teens still messing around until they heard one stomach growl.
"What? Im hungry. Ive only had one meal today." Dai said.
"Well thats not good." Dark said. "You're still hurt and need food to get better again."
With that Krad scooped Dai up into a piggy back ride. "AGH. RAPE. PERV. AGH." Dai screeched right in Krads ear, purposly.
"Man, kid, you have an annoying voice." Krad said with both hands going to Dai's butt. "You have a firm ass too."
Dai blushed madly then began screeching right in Krads ear again. "Get your hand off my ass! PERV! CHILD RAPIST! PERVERT! RAPE!"
"I want to keep my hearing kid."
"Then lemme go."
Krad let go and Dai fell onto his butt on the tiled hall floor. A laugh escaped from Krad but the others glared at him. He shrugged.
"Ow." Dai stood up and rubbed his backside. "Jerk."
Krad walked off and Dark followed yelling at him for hurting Dai.
"You alright Dai?" Satoshi asked.
"Yeah. Dang it. I hate Krad."
"Why this time?"
"He made me want a piggy back ride."
"Here." Satoshi squatted infront of Dai. "I can carry you."
Dai smiled and hugged Satoshi's neck before he got on his back. "Yay. Thank you Sato."
"No problem Dai. Just dont squirm." Dai nodded and rested his head on Satoshi's shoulder, his warm breath flowing across Sato's neck.
Satoshi shivered at the breath on his neck and Dai felt his shiver.
"You okay, Satoshi?"
"Yeah. Your breath just tickled."
Dai laughed and his breath tickled Satoshi's neck more. "Does this tickle?" Dai deliberatly breathed on Satoshi's neck. "Does it tickle or make you think of...things?"
"I..er...it...it just tickles." Satoshi tried to sound convincing.
"You're lying. You and I both know you're lying." Satoshi's steps were slower. "We both know it affects you. Just this little bit is making you go crazy, isnt it?"
"Wh...how?"
"I can see it in your eyes."
"No. The breath affects me nothing else." Satoshi sounded almost sure of himself.
Dai shrugged and whispered in Satoshi's ear. "If you say so."
They reached the kitchen and couldnt say anymore but both noticed an...envious?...look in Krads eyes.
After putting Dai down Satoshi whispered in his ear. "Be careful around him now." A pause then an odd look Dai had never seen on Satoshi's face appeared. "Does it not affect you so? The warm breath of another flowing across your skin sending shivers down your skin, making your mind go numb? Can you feel it?"
Dai smiled. "Pay back is never good, Sato. Especially revenge."
Dark gave the two a suspicious look and both kind of blushed at the talk they were having. "What are you two saying?"
"Nothing, Dark." Dai said.
"Nothing a nosy mouse needs to know." Satoshi said. "I see chef Piere is in today. Just tell him what you want. We can wait for him in the living room. He'll call us when its ready."
All four ordered and left for the living room. Dark and Satoshi leading the way and Dai behind them, squeaking every now and them. As they walked Krad would make odd moves on Dai.
At first Dai ignored the moves, they were simple, closing the distance touching his hand his butt. As they continued Krad became more touchy. He would walk along, grab and squeeze Dai's butt, bump Dai into the wall and cup Dai's manhood, grabbing Dai's hand.
All four sat in the living room, Dai and Sato on the love seat, Dark and Krad wrestling in the floor.
"Will they ever learn?" Dai asked.
Satoshi whispered his reply in Dai's ear. "I think Dark may be enjoying it." Another shiver went down Dai's spine.
Both watched the older teens wrestling and Dai realized Krad kept touching Dark and Dark was just pushing him off, no reprimands nothing angry. "Maybe Dark isnt as box like as he thought."
"Then that would make four gays under one roof." Satoshi said watching Dai's face.
"How did...?"
"Im a detective and I can add the signs together."
"I never said you couldnt."
"I know. So who is it that you like? Dark? Krad? Saehara?"
"No."
"Someone else in our class?"
"Yeah." Dai was blushing.
"Who?"
"Im not saying."
"Thats no fun."
Dark and Krad had reched a stand still, hearing the last couple things the two on the love seat said. Dark was about to talk until Krad gripped his man hood very soundly, causing Dark to moan.
"Oh, Gross, Dark." Dai said to the two teens at his feet.
Krads hand shot up and cupped Dai's manhood. The only reaction from Dai was an 'EEP' and a hard, vary hard slap to Krads face.
"Dont touch me." Dai said so coldly, that Krad shivered. "Im not yours so dont touch me."
"I could make you mine."
Dai shook his head. "Try and you'll have every limb snapped in four places before you do anything." That was a promise in his voice.
"Yeah. Go Dai. Stand up to the oppressors! Score; Dai 5 Krad 3!" Dark said from the floor before...
"Is he...?" Dai asked Satoshi.
"He is!"
"No way. That he's..."
"He is. Krads kissing Dark." Satoshi was just as astounded. " Is he...?"
"I bet Dark is liking it."
Both laughed and began their own convo while Dark and Krad well uh...
"Oh my...!" Dai said pointing at the two. "Their making out!"
They were. Dark and Krad were getting it on hot and heavy.
Dai kind of gagged at the sight and turned back to Satoshi, both trying to ingnore the watery sucking noises.
"Ugh. I think Im going to be sick." Dai said.
"So am I." Satoshi said as the two turned their back to the ones on the floor. "Ugh...Why wont you tell me who you like?"
"Its embaressing."
"If you tell me Ill tell you who I like."
Dai's eyes lit up. "You finally like someone! Yay."
The chef coughed. "Your meals are served. My lord! Stop that now." He was staring at Krad and Dark who split apart quickly. "The meals are on the table sirs."
"That you, Piere." Dai and Sato said for more than the food. They were thankful for him breaking the two on the floor up.
The four ate in almost silence but Krad started talking to Dark and Dai couldnt stand it so Satoshi spoke to him, distracting him from the dirty things Krad was saying.
"Dont worry Dai. Darks not staying the night so you dont have to worry about it untill tomorrow."
"Thanks." Dai smiled at Satoshi. Their converation died down for a minte but Krad and Darks was just getting worse.
"...And ill throw you down on the bed..."
Dai gagged, almost throwing his food up. "Will you two stop that for just a little while?" Satoshi was getting mad. "Cant you see Dai doesnt like it? He's over her practically throwing up from it."
Dark watched Dai and did realize he was uncomfortable with it. "Sorry Dai."
Dai nodded to Dark then glared at the laughing Krad. "Satoshi cant you make Krad feed the guard dogs or pick up their poo or something?"
Krad shivered and paled. "If he doesnt shut up with the dirty talk I will make him feed the dogs."
The rest of the meal went well. After eating they went back to the living room to watch a movie, Cujo.
"Whats with you and scary movies, Satoshi?"
"I dont get scared by them. I just like how their made."
"More like you want me to cuddle with you." Dai mumbled.
"What was that, Dai?"
"You heard me since youre right beside me."
Satoshi laughed and ruffled Dai's hair. "Do you think me that shallow, that mich like Dark?"
"No." Dai admitted.
"Hey! I heard that Creepy Boy."
Satoshi shrugged. "Its true."
"Dark, think about it." Dai said.
This time Dark shrugged as Krad layed across the chairs arms he was in. "Kraddykins!"
"Darky!" A kissing fight ensued then all four began watching the movie.
The movie was over by two and Krad was holding onto Dark for dear life. "Satoshi-sama, I hate you. DOGS!"
Dark was chuckling at the scared Krad and began a kissing fight again.
"Gah." Dai said. "That one didnt scare me."
"I figured it wouldnt. You dont believe in those things, but Krad on the other hand..."
"You did that to scare him." Dai laughed.
"Yeah." Through the whole movie the two had talked, it had bored them.
Both laughed at Krads half scared half angry look.
"Well sorry guys, but Im tired. Im goin to head to bed. Good night and Dark dont you dare do what I kept hearing from you."
Dark smiled. "I wont, Dai. Goodnight. Ill be by tomorrow."
"Kay." Dai stood up and headed out.
Satoshi soon followed Dai to make sure he wouldnt get hurt since he was still hurt.
"Darky, when do you think those two will admit it?"
"Im not sure. I think Dai is terrified Satoshi wont like him that way and will push him away. He doesnt need that right now. Dai's spirit is half broken from what his mother did to him. I think Satoshi is his closest friend and he doesnt want to lose that."
Krad nodded.
"Dai." Satoshi said catching up to Daisuke before he got in the elevator. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Im just tired and my body feels all weak."
"You're still weak from whats happened. Im sorry about it all but glad youre safe."
"So am I, Satoshi, so am I." They got in the elevator and rode up in silence.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?"
"Have fun and forget whats happened."
"I quite agree." Satoshi said as they stepped out of the elevator and headed for Dai's room.
"You gonna come in for a minute?"
"Do you want me to?"
"Well I want to talk."
"Is that an invitation?"
"Depends on what you mean by that."
"Doesnt mean anything."
They walked into Dai's room, Satoshi sitting in a large chair, while Dai opened a drawer to get his sleep clothes out.
Dai pulled a pair of navy blue shorts and a white tank top out of the drawer. A smirk was sitting on Satoshi's face as Dai dug through the drawer.
Dai unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, with his back to Satoshi, and put on his tank top. His pants dropped to the floor and his black boxer rested low on his hips.
Satoshi squeezed the bridge of his nose, since he hadnt put his glasses on all day because of Dai, to hold IT back. (Ill let you guess what IT I spoke of...heh...) "Can you go any slower, Dai?" He asked trying to sound aggravated.
"Yeah." Dai said as he squatted down to grab his pants giving a certain person a nice view of...something.
Satoshi squeezed his nose even harder, wincing at how hard he was squeezing.
Dai decided he was slow enough and pulled on his shorts and walked back over to where Satoshi was after disposing his pants in his bag.
"Satoshi? You okay?" A smirk was on Dai's face.
"Yeah. Im fine. I had a...runny...nose for a minute." Dai's smirk was even bigger.
"Sure." He was going to let it slide.
"What did you want to talk about?" Satoshi asked as Dai sat down in the big chair right beside Satoshi's
"Im scared, Satoshi. Scared of what life is holding for me in the future. My mom is going to either jail or an asylum, my grand father left to live with his son, Dad hasnt tried to contact me. To tell you the truth, Im terrified about what will happen any minute."
"Its okay, Dai." Satoshi said as he rested his hand on Dai's knee. "Everything will be fine."
"I hope so Satoshi."
"You had better get to bed. I can see that you can barely keep your eyes open." He stood up and helped Dai into his bed. "Good night, Dai."
"Night Satoshi. See you in the morning." Satoshi pulled the blankets a little higher on Dai's body.
"Of course you'll see me in the morning. That was an unneeded statement." He bent forward and kissed Dai's forehead. "Sleep well, Dai." He walked to the doorway and gave Dai a smile.
Dai smiled sleepily back at him with a bit of a blush on his face before turning on his side and falling to sleep almost immediatly.
A sad smile spread across Satoshi's face. He was amazed Dai could be so happy when his life was going down hill. "Ill ask him in the morning." He said to himself as he turned the light out and closed the door.
"You'll ask him what in the morning?" Dark was leaning against the wall opposite Dai's door.
"I thought you'd be gone by now Dark."
"Im not. What are you going to ask him?"
"How it is that he's still so happy when his life is going so far down hill."
"He has something constant to cling to like a stone in the middle of rapids. An anchor in these troubled times. YOU are his anchor. Since you are they only thing he is around almost every minute of every day, he clings to that familiarty."
Satoshi nodded and looked back at the door before starting off towards his own room.
"When are you going to tell him?"
"When this is all over."
"What if he needs to know now? What if this never blows over?"
"I...I dont know, Dark."
"I understand. Ill be leaving now, but ill be back around noon or one tomorrow...or well today...whatever."
"Dai will like that."
"And you? Do you like me being around?"
"If Dai's happy I dont care." Dark nodded and walked off.
Satoshi went to his room and changed before flopping on his bed. He stuck his hands behind his head and stared at his dark ceiling.
He drifted off to sleep thinking of the times he and Dai had gone over to Dai's house, trying to find some hint of this viciousness in his mother.
