Dunno where this came from really, I just got up and typed it out in a few minutes at 3 in the morning. Enjoy my half-asleep, month early Christmas angst. And Hikari is a mean drunk.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon, nor do I really think Takeru is a slutty, life-ruining bastard. Unless he gets in the way of Taisuke action, in which case I'm obligated to hire some ninjas and dispose of him. Mwuahahahaha…


'Just how long are they going to suck face for anyway?' Daisuke groaned inwardly.

Currently he was watching the object of his affections, one Yagami Taichi, make out fiercely under the mistletoe with his boyfriend; none other than Takashi Takeru, Daisuke's onetime friend-turned-slutty-life-ruining-bastard.

'I wish that was me…' he sighed, not bothering to hide the jealous glare spreading across his tanned features.

He scowled at the amorous pair and turned away, choosing instead to drown his sorrows in alcohol once again.

Daisuke had to hand it to Mimi; she certainly knew how to bring on the booze. The promise of free drinks was about the only reason he had agreed to come to this stupid Christmas party anyway. The older girl claimed that such parties were all the rage in America and had absolutely insisted that all the Chosen Children get together for the holiday.

"You can't stand them either?" Hikari's voice suddenly cut through his melancholy thoughts.

He turned to see the younger Yagami sibling, red-faced and holding a half-empty vodka bottle.

"What?" he asked dumbly, though he knew full well what she meant.

"Takeru and my brother. Its disgusting isn't it?" she practically spat and took another swig of vodka.

"How did you..?"

She glared death at him and for a split second Daisuke thought she was going to hit him.

"Oh come on Daisuke! Anyone can see that you're head over heels in love with my brother! Anyone, except for Taichi himself, of course." she added.

Daisuke was shocked. 'Have I really been that obvious?' he wondered. But Hikari wasn't quite finished yet.

"If only you'd had the guts to go for it, then we both would have gotten what we wanted. But no, you had to be a fucking coward about it. Chosen of Courage – don't make me laugh."

"Hikari I-"

"Save it. Thanks for ruining both of our lives Daisuke. Merry Christmas loser."

With that she stalked off, leaving the saddened redhead to regret missing his chance and wonder what might have been.


Jeez, I just depressed the crap out of myself. Oh well, sleep calls. Give me an early Christmas present and review? I've been a good boy…
