Woot woot! Here is one of my own Let Dai fics! I was feeling inspired by winter! I hope you guys like it. I needed to contribute to the Let Dai fandom today, lol. I'm at home sick...ah well. I've been reading GazettE fanfics all morning...yummy...I love Ruki! (He's the lead singer of the GazettE!)

Music: "Kare Uta" by the GazettE, "Miseinen" by the GazettE, yes...spread the GazettE love! Lyrics from "Miseinen".

Disclaimer: I do not own Let Dai. (I can't think of anything clever at the moment to say otherwise...)

Walking across the cold beach with Dai did not seem real. It was as though we had stepped into one of my many dreams that included us together. If I reached out my hand and touched him, he might disappear in a huff of smoke, an effervescent presence, always disappearing when things become too much for him to handle.

"Here." I glanced at him, startled. He threw his jacket over my shoulders, muttering something about the cold weather. I did not say anything back; I did not trust my voice.

Huddling the jacket close around me, I inhaled the scent of cigarettes, leather, and sweat, the scents that hung around Dai in a cloud of misery and apathy. His hair was being played with by the wind, hiding his bruised eyes. Why won't he look at me any more?

"Dai…" I whispered as a sudden desire to hold his hand choked my heart. Would he shake me off with a curse?

Here it was, the defining moment. I reached out for his hand, slowly and then my fingers found his cold ones and I grasped them. I felt him stiffen through his cold fingers, and we stopped walking. I could hear the cries of the seagulls in the background, mournful music to guide us on our journey.

Dai finally faced me, his expression unreadable. I wanted to say that I never want to leave him, but no words would escape my mouth. Our hands were still clutching and I feared then what Dai would do.

But, then, Dai finally smiled and it was as though the sun came up to shine on us on this winter day. It started out hesitant, but it grew stronger at the sight of warmth in my eyes. I wanted to tell him that it would be all right, but that is not the sort one says to him. He wants to take on the world, even though it's too much for him to handle alone.

Before I knew it I was shouldering such loneliness.
It was hard. To be honest,
I really didn't want to be on my own.

Before I knew it, his cold hand reached out to cup my neck before burrowing itself into my hair. We stood there, hands burrowed in each other's hair, cheeks pressed together, breathing in the same air. I could feel the Dai's tension slipping away, falling down to lie in the sand. I never dreamed that it was possible to feel this close to another person. We were so young, yet we felt as old as the ocean and as depthless. We knew that everything that brings happiness has a price. Would we be able to pay it?

As our mouths mingled and our breath steamed in the frostbitten air, we knew that we would.

If there's a freedom to be had in that clear blue sky
I wouldn't care if these wings I'm so proud of were torn off.
I began running, frantically aiming for the sky
I spread my wings and flew away, and the spot where I fell
was 'freedom'.

Fin.

LONG LIVE DAI AND JAEHEE! AND RUKI!

Dai: Oh shut up Ophy.

Me: I'm allowed my obsessions and so are you! So there! sticks out tongue

Dai: sticks out his tongue too

Jaehhe: You guys...there are plenty of Jrockers to go around...sweatdrop
