----------------------------Only You----------------------------------

Daisuke was running away in the opposite direction as fast as he could.  The image of Risa and Dark still burned into his mind.  "Why am I making such a big deal out of this!?" he screamed in his head, "Dark's a guy what's so wrong with him liking Harada-san?"  The more he thought about it the more confused he got.  He clutched the left side of his chest...it hurt so much.

"Daisuke! Stop!" Dark screamed, running to catch up to him.  "Please just listen to me."

"I'm fine," yelled Daisuke back, "Go back to Harada-san!"

"If you're fine then why are you running away from me?..."

The clouds that loomed overhead before were now rumbling. Light drops of rain began to fall.  They both had plenty of endurance so the running could have lasted forever...Gradually the rain continued to pour down even harder now soaking the previously dried buildings and roads.  

The cold rain splattered against Daisuke's face.  He glanced up in front of him and saw the town fountain several feet ahead.  Somehow managing to lose his balance his feet tangled causing him to fall into a small puddle that had formed on the road.  He needed to get up quickly and keep running but when he tried he winced in pain.  During his fall he had managed to sprain his left ankle.  Using both his hands he struggled to get onto his knees.

They had been running for quite a while.  Dark still had plenty of energy left and was determined to catch up with Daisuke.  The sky had gotten worse eventually soaking the entire area.  Up ahead of him he saw as Daisuke fell to the ground.  Worried that he hurt himself, Dark pushed himself faster to make sure Daisuke was alright.

This was not how he imagined meeting Dark again..."Look at me," he thought to himself, "I must look really pathetic right now."  He dropped his head in shame, his breath still slightly ragged from running so hard.  He felt a hand grip his right shoulder from behind which he proceeded to slap away.

"Leave me alone," he cried out, "I'm fine."

"You're not fine," snapped Dark.  Walking a few steps forward he kneeled in front of Daisuke.  "Onegai...i'm begging you...give me a chance to explain."

"I-i-it's none of my business.  You don't have to explain.  I'm sorry I interrupted."

Even though it was dark and raining harder than ever, underneath the glow of the streetlights, Dark could see that he was crying.  Taking one of his hands, he reached up and gently caressed Daisuke's cheek wiping away his tears.

Daisuke flinched and avoided his gaze.  "W-w-why am I c-crying.  S-silly m-m-me.  T-they j-j-just w-won't stop."  He covered his face with his hands.  He didn't want Dark to see him...not like this...anything but this.  He froze as he felt arms embracing him and pulling him in.  He pressed himself hard against Dark's chest.

"Just let it all out." he whispered, placing his head softly on Daisuke's.  That was all that was needed to be said.  They knelt there, with Daisuke in his arms for seconds...minutes as he continued to cry.  Gently, he pryed Daisuke's hands off of his face.  Tipping his chin up so that they were met eye to eye, Daisuke saw the sorrow in his face.  

"Please Daisuke, I want you to listen to my story." he pleaded.

Nodding, he once again placed his head on Dark's chest and listened to his story...

-That Afternoon-

He hadn't seen Daisuke since the meteor shower.  It had almost been a week now.  When he had gotten home Friday night (or early Saturday morning) he realized that he had no way of contacting him.  "I have to see him," he thought.  So on Monday he decided to go to the only place he knew Daisuke would be at, at that time.

Ever since their first meeting, Dark had taken an interest into the redhead.  He wasn't sure if Daisuke liked him back but he wanted to try to win him over or...at least until he was rejected.  The blush he always managed to put on the younger boy's face always made laugh.  He was so adorable...and so innocent.  

He wanted to kiss Daisuke on the hill that night under the stars and he would have succeeded had they not been interrupted.  Dark was very disappointed but put up with the interruption since it seemed she was a friend of Daisuke's.  He was further disappointed when Daisuke had rejected his offer to take him home.  On the walk home with the girl, she had asked him a lot of questions which he answered reluctantly.  When they had arrived at her house she asked him when she could see him again.

"Sa, we'll have to see.  Oyasumi Harada-chan." he smiled politely.

"It's Risa. Oyasumi." she giggled, giving a little curtsy before walking away.

He had reached the school yard where he saw Daisuke for the second time.  He prayed to whoever who was listening that he would be there again today.  Turning the corner, he saw a speck of redhair sticking out from behind the tree.  As he walked closer he saw that Daisuke was not alone.  Hoping he would have caught Daisuke's eye, instead he caught Risa's.  He saw her run over and put on as nice as a smile as he could.

"Konnichiwa Dark-san.  What are you doing here?" she asked.  Before he could say a word she interrupted him.  "I guess I forgot to give you my number."  Producing a pen and paper out of her uniform she wrote it down and handed it to him.

"Arigatou," he said.  Taking the piece of paper from her.  Then he got a "brilliant" idea.  "Actually, I was wondering if you knew where Daisuke lived."

"Yes I do," she replied.  "Why do you ask?"

"Well...I have this...surprise for him that I want to personally deliver."

"If you want I can show you tonight."

"That would be really helpful." he gleamed.

"Ok, meet me at "Suzanna's" (some restaurant) at 6 this evening.  Don't be late." she said, giving a wink and rushing off.

"I'm such a genius." he remarked happily to himself.

-Quarter to six-

Before meeting Risa at the predetermined time, Dark stopped into the local flowershop and picked out a single white rose.  "This will suit him perfectly."  He smirked already imagining the blush that would appear on Daisuke's face.  He stood outside of Suzanna's for the remainder of the time.

When Risa arrived, Dark noticed that she was dressed up rather femininely (not that she didn't already but just more), something like what you'd expect to see a girl dressed up for when going on a date.

"Ah gomen, Dark-san, I didn't make you wait too long did I?"

"No, I just arrived. You look very beautiful."  Complimenting her outfit.

"Thank you," she said, lightly blushing.

"Shall we get going then?"

"Ah, wait...ano..." she looked down at the ground, blushing a shade deeper.  "I was wondering if...if you would like to have dinner with me before I took you to Niwa-kun's house."

Dark saw no reason why not, so he nodded and they went in to eat.  They sat inside enjoying a nice meal while talking about current events in and around the town.  When they were finished, they began the walk to Daisuke's.  She was walking slightly ahead of Dark since she was leading the way.  After 20 minutes of walking, she stopped and turned around.  Dark stopped as well wondering if something was wrong.

She stared at the rose that was in his hand.  "That's a beautiful rose," she commented.

"Yes it is. It's for a very special person." he smiled.

"Is...is it for Niwa-kun?"

He nodded.

Risa walked towards him.  "Do you like him?" she asked.

He nodded again.

"Niwa-kun is so lucky," she murmured, now standing inches away.  "Because...because I love Dark-san!" she confessed

Dark looked her in the eye, his face full of sympathy.  "Gomen-nasai Risa...I cannot return your feelings."

"But Dark-san," Risa whined.  She wrapped her arms around his neck.

He did not return the hug and was about to nudge her off when a furry animal came jumping into his arms, causing the same effect anyways.

"With!" Dark exclaimed.  Smiling, he rubbed it's head.  "Where have you been all this time?"  He looked in the direction where With came from and what (or in this case who) he saw, made his heart stop.  There was Daisuke.  When Dark looked at his face, he could see the hurt..the betrayal...and worse of all the devestation.  The rose fell from his hand.  "Daisuke..."

"G-g-gomen," he had stuttered before running away.

"Matte! You don't understand!"  He needed to catch him so he could explain...

..."Do you understand now?  The only one I want is you."  He brushed away loose strands of red hair that had fallen in Daisuke's face.

"B-but why?" he asked timidly.

"Sometimes you're so silly...," he muttered. "It's because you're the one I like."  He pulled him in for another hug, holding on tight, not wanting to let him go this time.

The rain slowly subsided and in the background, the water flowing out of the fountain could be heard.  Loosening his grip on the younger boy, Dark put his forehead on Daisuke's and looked him straight in the eye.  Daisuke could feel his heart beating so fast.  He could also feel the heavy blush that was probably very noticeable on his cheeks but he didn't look away, entranced by Dark's captivating purple eyes.  Dark leaned in and closed the distance between them.  He captured Daisuke's lips with his.

Daisuke could feel Dark's soft, moist lips pressing against his own.  This was the first real kiss he ever experienced so he was unsure of what to do.  He tried returning the kiss softly and jumped when he felt Dark's tongue touching his lips, seeking permission.  
He complied by opening his mouth slightly allowing Dark's tongue to explore inside.  Daisuke moaned from the pleasure causing Dark to smirk.  After a few minutes Daisuke pulled away because he could not breathe.  They were both gasping and panting.  

Dark looked into Daisuke's eyes and Daisuke looked into Dark's eyes.  Both of them started to laugh.  They were about to kiss again when they heard a "chu" sound.

There stood the rabbit giving them a puzzled look.  "Chu?"

"With you little runt."  Dark tackled the little animal and started tickling it.

"With?...Ehhh that's your pet!?"  he shouted, surprised.

"Yeah," Dark grinned as With licked his face.  "He was angry and ran away several days ago because I ate his strawberries."

Daisuke let out a huge sigh.  "Well at least now i've found Skittles' owner." he smiled.

"Skittles?  Is that what you named it?" he asked, bursting out in laughter.

Daisuke was offended.  That's what his mother had done too..."It isn't that funny."

"Thank you for taking care of him."  He gave Daisuke a kiss on his cheek.

"I-it was nothing." he stuttered, blushing profusely.

"It's getting late, I should take you home.  And this time don't even think about turning down my offer." He winked.

Daisuke didn't say anything and continued to blush.  Standing up he offered his hand to Daisuke.  Daisuke had completely forgotten about spraining his ankle and when he tried to stand on it he winced in pain and would have fallen had Dark not been there to support him.

"Daijoubu-ka?" He had a very worried expression on his face.

"Daijoubu," Dai responded, simply smiling back.  "I just twisted my ankle when I was trying to run away."  

The next thing he knew he was swept off his feet.  Dark held him firmly in his arms.  "Well that just won't do," teased Dark. "Guess that means I'll have to carry you home." he whispered seductively into Daisuke's ear.

"D-d-d-dark!" The look on Daisuke's face was priceless.  Dark would never have forgotten that night no matter how hard he tried.

No matter what he did or how much he demanded that Dark put him down, he refused to listen.  When the door opened his mother looked at the two of them in shock.  After the initial shock, she invited Dark in and he told her what had happened.  She found some dry clothes that he could borrow to walk home in which he politely thanked her for.  When it was time to leave, Emiko waved goodbye and shouted telling him to come again.  As soon as he was out of sight, she closed the door and stood there silently.

..."Oka-san?"

She walked towards him and stopped, staring at him with a blank expression.

"...G-gom-"

He was about to say sorry when she grinned and gave him a big hug.  "My Dai-chan's finally growing up." she sang, rubbing her cheek against his.

"Okaaa-saan.  Onegai, yamette!" he screamed.  Trying to push her away.

"Teenagers!" his grandpa grumbled, "They're all crazy."  Rolling his eyes he got up and went to his room, he couldn't help as a huge grin appeared on his face because it had been a long time since he had seen Daisuke genuinely happy.
