Dark stretched happily in his bed, then froze as he felt the warm lean body of someone else in his bed. The redhead didn't have time to move, so instead he cuddled up next to Dark's wide chest, his ears down apologetically. "Um, hi Dark." He sighed as his devil self egged him on ~Finally, the moment you've been waiting for!~ and said wearily, as if he'd been suffering for a long time, "Daisuke, do you want to just sleep in my bed tonight? You'll probably just come in here for no reason anyway."

His ruby eyes became as big as saucers "REALLY? Oh thank you thank you thank you-" and he hugged the thief tightly and just then it became totally clear to the phantom what the situation was- they were in his bed.

Together.

Hugging.

"Ah, um m-maybe we should go and watch a movie or something- yeah, I did promise that we'd watch one but I grew wings and so- yeah, let's go!"

He scrambled out of bed, not because he wanted to but because…well...~God dammit why do I have to be so fucking horny all the time!~

He cursed his seventeen-year old brain and hurried off downstairs, Daisuke trailing behind him and doing a weird sort of happy hum.

He watched the way Dark's wings shuffled and rearranged and wondered why he had shot up all the sudden…he had kind of just wanted to hang out in bed for a little while…Oh well. Once he had calmed down a bit he opened the huge cabinet next to his television and asked, "So, what do you want to watch, Daisuke?"

The redhead came up to the virtual library of DVD's in amazement. He'd never seen so any in one place before! "Um…" One of them caught his eye and he passed it to Dark, his eyes becoming wide and pleading puppy eyes. "Can we watch this one, please?" The phantom sighed. Of course he would have picked the only Disney movie in the whole house, the Lion King. "Alright, sure. But lemme go get something to eat first." Daisuke sat down on the couch and gaped at him. "You're still hungry?"

Dark nodded almost happily as he rooted around in the kitchen for something to eat and finally snapped up a bag of chips and the entire jug of orange juice.

"Yep, now scoot over." Dark settled down next to the redhead, his feet almost touching Daisuke's thigh, and took a big gulp of the juice. The movie started and as it progressed Daisuke could have sworn that every time he glanced at Dark… The wings grew. When the movie came to the part where Simba's father had died Daisuke started to sniffle quietly and Dark paused it with the remote. "Hey… We can watch something else if you want to…"

Ruby pools met his own amethyst, and the little artwork's hands ran over each other as he said, "No, its fine. It's just… He's lucky, to have had such a nice father. Sometimes I kinda wonder what that would be like…" Dark glanced away from him, then back, and scooted over to him just close enough to put one arm around him. "Yeah…Sometimes I kinda wonder too." Daisuke stared at him in confusion and Dark admitted, "I…haven't been entirely truthful about it, Dai, but the reason I ran away was because of a big argument we had. Don't get me wrong-" He saw the alarmed look on his face. "He wasn't abusive or anything but…Well, now when I look back I can kinda understand- It's always a gamble, when you adopt a kid. And my-preferences sure as hell didn't make it easier."

He looked thoughtfully out of his huge windows and Daisuke asked, "You're adopted?" He nodded and took another sip from the jug.

"Yep. Damn lucky too, my foster mom and I still get along pretty well."The fox looked at the television, then back to Dark.

"Did you ever go try to look for your real parents?" He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes, "First thing I did when I left. But some things are better left alone-mom turned out to be some seventeen year old tweaker who stopped long enough not to screw me up, and my dad…" He shrugged.

"Well, couldn't find out anything about him so…" He felt little arms around his waist and Daisuke buried his face in Dark's chest, his little ears trembling.

" I-I'm so sorry that happened, Dark! I promise not to become a 'tweaker', whatever it is!" Dark wrapped his arms around Daisuke tentatively,

"Dai…" honestly touched by his words. " I won't leave you here by yourself -ever!" He then blushed at his own words and looked up at the man he was holding,

"Uh- If that's…If you want me here, that is." Dark himself colored as the desire to plant a big one right on Daisuke's pink lips filled his head and he admitted,

"Of course I do, Dai… But someday, I would probably want to be more than friends…"

His triangle-shaped ears pricked up, "More…than friends?" and Dark waved his hand dismissively, "I'll tell you later, now…"

He flicked the movie back on but Daisuke's big head blocked the screen and he paused it again, "If we were more than friends…Would it be ok for me to kiss you?" He asked just as Dark was drinking his juice and he spat, "PPPHH! *gasp* WHAT?" Daisuke's face grew as red as his hair as he said unabashedly.

"Because sometime… I'd like to kiss you." Dark stared at him for a moment and a blush rose on his face, then scratched the back of his head a little nervously,

"Um, how about we finish the movie first, ok?" Daisuke's color slowly came back to normal and he agreed softly, "Ok." moving out of the way of the television and curling up on the other side of Dark's feet once more. Dark moved said feet off the couch, wrapped one arm experimentally around the redhead, and pulled him close to his side just to see if he was comfortable with that. He wasn't, not at first( his 'other' master's embraces kept flittering back into his head), but soon enough his head lolled onto Dark's shoulder and his tail wrapped around the thief's bare feet, keeping them warm. It amazed him how soft his hair was, like a little bunny was curled up on his shoulder. ~ Someday… I'd like to kiss you too.~ He admitted in the back of his mind, his body acutely in tune with Daisuke's every tiny movement.

~And I'm so glad that you're here with me now, my little fox angel.~

Review or else Daisuke goes back to Krad! just kidding.
