*sigh* I absolutely HATE writing Mimi/Izzy fics, even though this is my first one. As all of you should know, I am a great big MIMATO fan, and that's what most of my fics are. But…DCI requested that I write a sequel fic to "I don't always know the answer" that was Mishiro, so, here it is! I warn you though, this is my one and only Mimi/Izzy fic! So, here it is!
I don't always know the answer
Izzy sighed and looked up from his computer. The other Digidestined were hovering over him, watching his every move.
"So? What are we supposed to do?" Tai asked him.
Izzy closed his eyes and silently sighed. It was like this all the time. They all expected him to know all of the answers!
"I don't know!" he exclaimed, trying to keep calm. Why must they always expect him to know everything?
Everyone looked at him, shocked. Not just for not knowing the answer, but for loosing his calmness like that. Mimi looked the most shocked of all.
"What's wrong, Izzy?" Mimi asked him, concerned.
"Nothing is wrong!" Izzy said, closing his eyes to keep the tears away.
"If anything is wrong, then tell us and maybe we can help!" Sora suggested. Izzy just nodded, and the others dispersed, walking away.
Izzy shook his head and sighed. If only they knew. They always treated him like he was some kind of super genius. Like someone who always knew all the answers. Like someone who would rather spend all day at his computer then doing anything else.
"Why don't they understand?" he whispered outloud without realizing it. When he realized that he had spoken outloud, he noticed Mimi and Tentamon looking at him, both with worried looks on their faces. Izzy turned away and busied himself with typing away at his computer.
"Hey, Izzy! Foods ready!" Matt called out to him about ten minutes later. Izzy looked up from his laptop and, walking over to the others, managed to look calm, cool, and collected. He self-consciously sat down beside Mimi, not looking at her. He had liked her for some time…he just didn't have the guts to tell her.
He began to lift fork full after fork full of food into his mouth, not even tasting the food that Matt had prepared. He was sure that it was delicious…but only because that's what everyone else said.
When he was done, he stood up without a word and walked away, sitting down by a large tree and picking up his laptop. He looked at the others, then down at his laptop. "No wonder they think that all I want to do is work on my computer," he murmured to himself. "That's all I ever do!" he carefully set his computer down and walked towards the spot where all the others were talking and laughing.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Izzy turned over onto his side. He couldn't sleep. Thoughts just kept running through his mind. He knew that he would have to tell the others how he felt sooner or later. To tell them that he only wanted to be treated like everyone else. He let his eyes wander over to Mimi. She was sitting with her back against a tree. She was obviously taking her turn at watch. Her hair glistened as the moonlight fell upon it, and he could see that she was deep in thought by the look on her face.
Slowly standing up, Izzy began to make his way noiselessly towards Mimi. Upon reaching her, he slowly sat down beside her.
Mimi looked up with a start. "Hi Izzy," she greeted him.
"Hi Mimi," Izzy replied. "Taking your turn at watch?" he guessed at what he already knew.
Mimi nodded. "What're you doing up this late?" she questioned.
"Couldn't sleep," Izzy replied, looking out over the camp that had been set up the night before.
"You want to talk about it?" Mimi asked him quietly. Izzy didn't reply, and they sat in silence for some time.
"I…I wish you guys…" Izzy finally began, then stopped.
Mimi didn't say anything, just listened.
"I wish that you guys wouldn't always come to me for the answer." He said. Mimi looked at him strangely.
"What do you mean?" she asked him.
"You guys always think that I know everything. But I don't always have the answer. You all think that I don't care about anything but my computer. You think that I have no heart. I want you guys to think of me as someone other than just the one who has the answers. Because I don't always know the answer." He said quietly.
"I didn't know you felt that way," Mimi replied after a moment or two. She looked at him. "There's something else, isn't there? You still look as though something's wrong…" she let her voice trail off.
"Nothings really wrong…It's just something I've been keeping inside," Izzy responded.
"And that is…?" Mimi questioned.
"Mimi…" Izzy stopped, then leaned towards her until their lips finally met in a soft kiss. He then leaned away, aghast at the way that he had acted. Now, he was sure that Mimi would hate him forever.
"I'm sorry, Mimi," Izzy murmured. "I had no right…"
He didn't get to finish his sentence because Mimi interrupted him. "That's what you meant about "something I've been keeping inside"?" she asked. Mimi smiled. "I feel the same way, Izzy," she stated simply.
Izzy smiled. "It told you! I don't always know the answer."
The End
I know, that was REALLY short, but, I didn't feel like writing a really long Mimi/Izzy fic, so, I wrote a short one!
