I'm gonna be gone next week camping so I probably won't update for a while.
When the movie ended and Dark had finally finished off his last mouthful of orange juice Daisuke stretched happily, unwrapped his tail from Dark's feet and said "Mmmm, that was a good movie! Can I pick the next one too?" The thief stretched his wings carefully behind him, wincing, and the tips brushed the glass panes of his windows. ~Is it just me or are these things a helluva lot bigger than they were when I sat down?~
" Well, I want to go take a shower, but it's my turn to pick one, so you stay put."
Daisuke of course completely ignored the last part of this sentence and followed him up the stairs, occasionally reaching out and stroking Dark's wings as they climbed."What's a shower? Is it the same thing as a bath?" He dug his toes into the thick luxurious carpets that must have cost a fortune and startled as Dark shuffled his wings, "Sort of, except the water comes down from a shower head instead of filling up a tub with water." He paused in the middle of his hallway and as Daisuke examined a huge gold-framed painting of a blue-haired noble Dark said, "Could you move over to the side of the hall, Dai? I don't wanna hit you."
The redhead did, and the phantom spread his beautiful appendages like fans, massaging the roots deeply embedded in his back.
"I think they're almost big enough now." He said to himself quietly and folded them once more, and the artwork trotted up behind him.
"Big enough for what?" Those glistening pools locked on him again and a secret smile played across his face.
"Big enough to lift me." He opened the door to the bathroom and Daisuke asked, "Can I come in with you?" making Dark flush up to his ears.
"No, Dai, I don't really want you to see me naked." His cat ears flicked up, then back. "But you've seen me before…" Dark froze and stuttered,
"T-that's different… Just stay out here ok? I'll be back in a minute." As soon as he shut the door he sighed an began to strip, wondering if the fox had any idea what Dark had felt compelled to do when he saw him naked as a jaybird that night. He felt all grimy and kinda shaky, for some reason, like these things had sucked up all of his energy. Turning on the hot water, he folded them close to his body and massaged the back of his neck with his hands. It had been a habit that he'd carried with him since his childhood and it always calmed him down. ~Man, how am I gonna keep my job with these things? I mean, I'll probably squeak by if I up the ante on stealing but…~ He soaped up his hair and scrubbed the suds through his scalp vigorously, the hot water making little rivulets down his lean body.
His whole body relaxed and he unconsciously leaned against the tile casing that encircled his shower. ~Wait a minute…~ He shot up, reaching one hand over to touch his wings again. He didn't feel anything except for a slight curve between his shoulder blade and spine, and he stepped out of the shower and turned around in front of the mirror, examining them. They were resting in two shallow grooves in his back, and as he turned sideways, it became obvious that when folded like this, they would be completely undetectable under a shirt. "Holy smokes…" He stretched them out and realized there was no way they could be folding up that small- they were too huge…
He finally just went back in the shower and left them half-folded, finished his shower and trotted downstairs to find Daisuke. He was on the couch petting Wiz when he noticed that for the first time since Dark's wings had come out; the phantom was wearing a shirt. "Hey Daisuke, look at this!" He exclaimed excitedly, showing off the button-up shirt like it was made of woven gold. "How-?" Daisuke began, but Dark took off his shirt with a flourish and showed off the folded wings.
"Look! Do you know what this means, Daisuke?" The redhead reached over and stroked them gently."That… we can go shopping?" He shook his head.
"No, that I can go to work tomorrow!" He fist-pumped into the air a few times, "Yes, yes, yes!" then wrapped up Daisuke in a big hug,
"This is so cool! They're like, defying physics!" and the little fox leaned into him, his ears slicking down happily. "Well they are magic. I'm glad you can go back, Dark."
The thief held the redhead at arm's length and all of the sudden; they were simply staring into each other's eyes, large innocent eyes meeting with deep, plum colored bedroom ones. "Me too." Dark inclined his head just a bit, and the long strands of his hair brushed Daisuke's neck playfully. "Hey, Daisuke…"
He said and his voice went soft like velvet, and his warm breath flitted across Daisuke's face, warming it. "Would it be ok…if I kissed you right now?"
The angel and devil within him were currently in a knock-down-drag-out fight, but the devil was winning, and had forced the question from his lips. He just... wanted to know if the little fox felt the same way he did, if he felt anything for him at all. After all, he had said that he...would like to kiss him.
Daisuke blushed, and his long red tail curled excitedly around itself, nearly tying into a knot. Would they be like Krad's kisses, or completely different? Either way, he really wanted... to be kissed by him. Was that a bad thing? He dug one hand into Dark's red and black striped shirt and answered in a whisper, "Yes."
It was nothing more than a peck, a fleeting little butterfly kiss as thier lips brushed, but…
His lips were so warm and slightly parted, and he just got a fleeting taste of dark chocolate, bitter and smooth with just a hint of sweetness… Dark, on the other end, caught a taste of summer strawberries, and as they pulled away they stared at each other with a kind of dazed shock. ~These...are nothing like my other masters kisses.~ Daisuke thought to himself happily. The phantom smiled first, and Daisuke smiled shyly back, "Um, thank you…"and Dark pulled him into another light embrace before guiding him back towards the couch. " C'mon, let's go watch another movie, ok?"
Daisuke grinned, "Ok!" and they sat back down on the couch together, Dark's arm around Daisuke's small shoulders.
