"Krad!" he called. "C'mon! You're taking this way too seriously! It's
not like I was being unfaithful or anything!"
The tall figure stopped, muscles tensing. "No, you weren't unfaithful,"
the demon ground out. "You just kissed Satoshi."
"If you had walked through that door I would have kissed you!" Dark
argued, still not seeing the problem.
"It wasn't me."
"No, that we already know, and it seems to be the problem."
Krad's eyes narrowed. "Yes, it is a problem! Hands off my Tamer! Is
that clear?"
The last was said with such menace, Dark froze. Then something old kicked
in. Something suicidal even. It was a part of Dark that had loved to taunt
Krad in the past when they had still been on opposite sides.
"Why?" he demanded. "You interested in him? Wanna fuck him?"
Krad hissed and there was a light in his eyes that had Dark brake immediately.
Oh shit! he thought frantically. Oh shit! No, no, no… I didn't
just say that, right? Right?!
But he had. Oh goddamnit, he had!
He hadn't meant it! Not like that!
Feral, golden eyes glared at him and for a moment he was feeling an
old fear, a fear he hadn't experienced for a while… a long while… Looking
into those eyes, eyes that had been filled with murder, madness and touches
of insanity Dark had never even pondered, he was back in the old times.
Not the good old times.
The dangerous old times when this demon had mercilessly hunted him,
wanted to kill him…
"Krad, I… I didn't mean it like that… I… oof!"
Those feline eyes were right in his face, a hand clamped around his
throat, his back pressed into the wall. "You meant every word, kaitou.
Every damn little word!" Krad whispered harshly. "I would never touch Satoshi.
Never. Implying that… would be like me implying you fucking Daisuke."
Dark's eyes widened and he whimpered. "Krad…"
"He is mine, you understand? Mine. My host, my tamer, my partner. But
I'm not sexually abusing him!"
Abusing? Dark thought faintly. Who said anything…?
The demon snarled and stepped back, then whirled around and left. There
was a door banging shut and Dark could more feel than see his lover taking
off.
"No," breathed. "Gods, no… Krad…"
What had he done? What had he done!
And then he became aware of the two watchers. A pale Daisuke was staring
at him as Dark sank down the wall, shaking, shocked…
"Dark?" he asked.
"I didn't mean it!" the kaitou whispered. "I didn't…"
"Too bad it didn't sound like you didn't mean it," Satoshi remarked
dryly.
Dark stumbled to his feet, knees wobbly. "I have to find him… I have
to make him understand…"
"No," Satoshi's still cold voice stopped him. "No, you don't. You stay
here. This is my job." He glanced at Daisuke and Daisuke nodded.
"Go," Niwa murmured. "I'll take care of matters here."
A little kiss was placed on his lips and then Satoshi was gone, grabbing
his coat on the way out.
Dark still leaned against the wall, utterly shell-shocked. He was aware
of Daisuke close by, then a gentle hand touched him and he followed the
guiding motion.
What had he done?
And the better question was: why?
*
Dark sat in the kitchen, head buried in his arms on the table. There
was a cup of steaming hot coffee sitting in front of him; he could smell
the enticing aroma, but at the moment he couldn't care less about what
he had been offered.
"I'm so sorry," he groaned. "I didn't mean it. It was just…"
"Why did you say it?"
Dark's head came up and hurt, violet eyes met his Tamer's serene brown
ones. "Said what?"
"Well, everything. Mostly about Krad and Satoshi."
"I don't know," he muttered.
Daisuke sipped at his coffee. "You jealous?"
Dark winced. Jealous of Satoshi? Why should he? It wasn't like Krad
and his Tamer were… well… together.
"No…"
"You and Krad are lovers," Daisuke went on almost conversationally.
"You share as much as Satoshi and I do, but there is a last step you can
never take, something only you and I share, just like only Satoshi and
Krad share this intimacy. That of Tamer and symbiote."
"Dai, no… I wouldn't insinuate…" he began to protest.
"You did. You asked Krad if he wants to sleep with his host. Would you
sleep with me, Dark?"
Dark jumped up, the chair scraping back and almost falling over. "No!
No, never! Daisuke…!"
"Then why imply that Satoshi and Krad do?"
It brought him up short. Looking into those still very serene eyes,
Dark felt a shiver run through him.
"I was angry."
"At what?"
"Krad… Krad he yelled at me for kissing Satoshi…"
"Rightfully so."
"But it was a mistletoe!" Dark argued.
"This was a bit more, Dark," Daisuke begged to differ. "A mistletoe
is a peck on the cheek, not a full-blown kiss. What would you have done
if it had been me and Krad?"
Dark's eyes turned colder. "He wouldn't do that…"
"How do you know?"
Dark tensed, then sank back onto the chair just to bury his head in
his arms again. "I'm so screwed, Dai. So completely messed up!"
"You know that Krad's relationship with Satoshi is special," his host
reminded him softly. "Krad needs Satoshi very badly and he always did.
Ever since you two returned, Sato and he have found the necessary balance
to be what they couldn't achieve in the past – equal partners. But Krad
is also a wounded soul and each blow in that direction hurts him badly.
You know what he went through with the Hikari family, Dark."
"I know," he whispered.
Gods, did he know. He had never thought that his other half had led
such a miserable, tormented life..
"Say, Dark, do you love me?" Daisuke suddenly asked.
The dark head came up. "What? Of course!"
"In what way?" Daisuke wanted to know.
Dark stopped, frowned, then shrugged. "You're my friend, my host… my
Tamer. At first you were just the new kid. I mean, I was bound to appear
in every Niwa boy… but you proved to be much more." His expression softened.
"You meant a lot to me… more than any other host before that day I awoke
in you. We had fun, but… if I had had a choice, I wouldn't have ever left
again."
Daisuke's eyes were filled with warmth and he smiled gently. "I felt
the same, Dark. I wasn't happy about having you, but you grew on me, and
the six years after you disappeared… it hurt. It hurt me very, very much.
I missed something vital. So… you love me. Do you love Krad?"
"Yes!" Dark blurted.
Gods, yes, he loved that blond demon!
"But there is a difference in your love for him and for me?" Daisuke
insisted.
"Uh, yes… I mean, he's my lover and… you are…"
Dai smiled. "Yes. I am your Tamer, your host, your friend. You protect
me, I protect you, and we're bound together. Just like Krad and you. You
are halves of the same artwork. You were together in the Black Wings and
you finally found yourselves back as one again now. But Dark, Krad differs
from you, and your relationship to me. He's not your image, nor your mirror
image. He's a separate entity."
"I know that."
"What would you choose to do if it was either me or Krad?"
Dark frowned. "Dai, I couldn't…"
"Choose. Now. Me or Krad?"
Dark hung his head. "I'd choose you."
"Why?"
"Because you're my Tamer. I need you more…" he stopped.
"And Krad would always choose Sato, Dark. Always. And he protects him
fiercely. It doesn't mean they are lovers. Just like we aren't."
Dark moaned again and let his head hang down again, the black strands
falling into his eyes.
Daisuke touched him, ran a gentle hand over his tousled, black hair.
He was so completely messed up… such an idiot… and maybe he had just blown
his only chance at a relationship that meant more to him than all the art
in the world.
And then Dark slung his arms around his host's waist, buried his head
against the flat stomach and felt the first sobs leave him as warm hands
continued to caress him.
