Of confessions and observations.
Tash: Hey just little old me (again). After much careful thought and one very nice review I decided to construct a plot line for the sequel to `emotions behind the mask. ` Those of you that haven't read `emotions` do it'll make understanding this fic `Odiba midnight` much easier to understand. Tito, Takari and a sneaky addition of some Daiken and Joe / Izzy- don't read if you don't like the couples. Flames seem in a rarity so if you send me one I'll treasure it forever!
Mat: Tash doesn't own digi, (mores the pity) or anything else that isn't hers in the fic. Any out of character moments are due to Tash's bizarre fascination with changing me for the better. Some dub names because Tash can't spell Korishiro or Iori without thinking that it's wrong. Spag (spelling punctuation and grammar.) errors are due to Tash's laziness in school.
Tash: Yes thank you, just remember I own your soul. As in 'emotion` % is P.o.v change $ is a return to Yama's P.o.v. ^ Is thoughts and @ indicates a phone convo. It's been two months since `emotion` Yama and Tai still haven't told the digi destined but have told their folks, they were happy for them if you're wondering.
*
Must remain calm. Taichi's promised me that they'll react the same way as our folks but I'm not convinced. I wonder if I could slip away from Tai unnoticed? No, he's defiantly got a very good grip on my hand. Ok find something to distract myself. Emy's hair smells nice today, kind of like that fancy tea she makes when she comes to visit. I wonder if she put Tai up to telling the others? I mean I know that she's getting annoyed about not being able to discuss our relationship with anyone but T (A/n as in 'emotions' this is an abbreviation for Takeru.) and Hikari.
"Emy?" I enquire gently. She turns her jade green eyes from the horizon and flicks them to me.
"You ok Yama?" she asked, slipping into Tai's nickname for me.
"Yeh, I was just wondering if you 'helped' Tai to decide to tell the others?" I asked gently. Tai let out a gentle laugh and shook his head.
"It'll be a bad day for the world when I decide to be ruled by a woman Yama. I'm just tired of hiding the fact that I love you around those people whose opinion matter the most." He said sweetly. I smiled and gave him a gentle peck on the cheek. Tai didn't seem content with just a simple peck but swept me into a passionate kiss. I heard rather than saw Emy tut and utter the words ` get a room` to herself. Not wishing to stall any longer than was necessary I regretfully pushed away from Tai and continued down the road. By the time we reached the small café I had erected my `I'm too cool for words` exterior and Tai seemed to have plastered a leadership smile on his face. Emy smiled as she drew level with us.
"Just be yourselves boys, with those faces you'll scare them off before you can even utter the words `we're an item. `" She said gently. Tai's lips twisted into a genuine smile as he gave Emy his patented 'thank you' look. After the briefest of moments Tai came to a decision and boldly walked into the café.
% Tai.
Everyone came, even the younger digi destined. I smile slightly as their eyes turned to me. I hope Emy was right about how the group are going to react I'd hate to lose their support. T and Hikari are giving me encouraging smiles that stand out from the amassed number of expectant faces. Aware that I should be saying something even if it's just hello I open my mouth to speak. As the words form in the back of my throat the door opened and Yama cautiously entered. I can feel his eyes on the back of my head for a moment then they trail away to look at the group. Taking my strength from his presence I summon up the courage to talk.
"Hey, guy's. I know that you're all really busy at the moment so thanks for coming. I asked you to come today because I've got something to tell you." I said simply.
"Go ahead Tai." Daisuke says his eyes smiling slightly. Thankful for the support and the hand that Yama had placed on my shoulder I took in a deep breath and said. " I just wanted to say that Mat and I are together, as a couple." As I fought away a rising blush. Silence for what seemed like an eon then a chorus of.
"Finally" (Sora)
"I knew it." (Mimi)
"Prodigious" (Izzy)
"Congratulations" (Joe)
"Really?" (Yolie)
"Awesome" (Daisuke)
"I wish you great happiness." (Cody) The only digi destined who remained silent was Ken. The blue haired genius seemed to be mulling the words over in his mind, bending them in every direction possible as he created a response. Aware that all the eyes in the room were cast towards him Ken blushed and smiled slightly.
"Sorry guys. I think it's wonderful that you've found someone." He said cautiously. My eyes remained on the genius as conversation began to brew amongst the group. He was watching Dai with what seemed to be a restrained curiosity. Possibly he was gagging the be-goggled boy's response to his reply. Internally shaking my head I sat myself down by Emy who smiled gently.
"Didn't I tell you they'd take it well?"
"I didn't doubt you Emy, that was Yama if you recall."
"I didn't exactly doubt her Tai, I was just concerned." Yama said as he perched himself on my lap. Emy smiled and dismissed it with a hand gesture. She then turned her eyes to the group and I observed that she was observing their interaction.
"What do you see then Emy?" I enquired after a while. She flicked her eyes to me and smiled.
"Lets start with the obvious shall we? T and Hikari are trying to find some excuse to vanish off and `study`." She said gesturing to the pair, who did indeed look like they were about to run off.
"Hikari, I think I left the gas running. Can you pop home and see." I said, shouting across the other conversations. Hikari nodded and with T in tow quickly walked out of the café. "What else?" I enquired after a moment of silence.
"You see how Ken keeps looking up from his conversation with Izzy towards Dai and Yolie?" Emy enquired. I flicked my eyes in the direction of Ken and saw that he was indeed torn between talking to Izzy and watching Dai.
"Yes." I replied simply.
"I think Ken's got `special feelings` for Dai and the poor kid's wondering if Dai feels the same."
"And does he?"
"Watch Dai for a moment." She instructed gently. I allowed my eyes to travel sideways to Dai who was now in the middle of a small fight with Yolie. I watched as Dai walked away from the purple haired girl in a huff and headed for Ken who was trying to fight down a blush. As Dai neared the table Izzy excused himself and headed over to Joe who smiled warmly.
"Right, now do you see the way in which Dai keeps looking into Ken's eyes as they talk?" Emy enquired gently. I watched and realised that Emy had again spotted something that would have been lost on me.
"I do."
"When you talk to Yama you do the same thing. It's a way to read the other persons reaction to the words that you're saying, so that if you hit a topic that makes them awkward you can move carefully away from it. However Dai does it less than you two do because he's weary of ken fining out that he likes him." Emy said as her hands made random movements in the air.
"So how can we get the two love birds to confess their feelings?" Yama enquired as he shifted his weight slightly.
"I'll talk to them in a minuet. But first I detect yet another non- conformist relationship brewing in our group." Emy said smiling gently. My eyes flicked around the room until I saw that Joe and Izzy were in a passionate discussion about how obsolete Einstein's theories were in a modern society. A smile flicked across my lips as I saw Joe calm Izzy down by gently brushing his hand. A moment of realisation passed across both men's faces and Joe broke out into a nervous smile. Movement to my left announced me to the fact that Emy had stood up. She smiled at me before she walked over to the table where the men were now lost in their own private worlds.
"What do you think she'll say to them?" Yama enquired turning his head so that he could see my face.
"I don't know. Something like, ` you two are quiet obviously in love so why don't you just kiss. `" I said my voice mimicking Emy's perfectly.
"I thought Joe was with Mimi though."
"I guess they broke up. If you look Mimi's right at the other end of the room and she's not even paying Joe any attention."
"Tai, I think Emy's finally got to you." Yama said humour in his voice.
"I know, scary isn't it?" I asked as I shuddered slightly.
"Na, I think it's cute." Yama said simply. I smiled at the complement and turned my eyes back to Joe and Izzy. The pair were by now both bright red from embarrassment but seemed to have reacted well to Emy's words because a triumphant smile was on her lips. As she moved to talk to Dai and Ken, Joe lent to Izzy and whispered in his ear, the smaller boy seemed to be thinking for a moment then he nodded. The pair stood and with a hurried farewell to Yama and myself they vanished out of the café door.
"Wonder where they're going?" Yama asked, almost to himself.
"I think they've gone somewhere a little more private to `talk` about it." I replied gently. Yama nodded in agreement and turned his eyes to Ken and Dai who were both trying to talk to Emy at the same time. She placed her hands up in a stop motion then she whispered something to the pair of them. Ken's blush was more evident than Dai's because of the paleness of his skin, at that moment I would have killed to know what Emy had said to them. Whatever had been said seemed to do the trick however because the boy's were soon locked in a very passionate kiss.
"Makes you feel kind of left out huh?" Yama asked gently. I smiled and pushed him into a deep and passionate kiss that I wished would never stop.

Mat: 0.0 Tash you've made me sappy!
Tash: I know and I'm so sorry Yama. Angst seems to fade in the beauty that is Tai.
Mat: Ok who are you and what have you done to Tash?
Tash: Yama as hard as it is to believe I like Tai now.
Mat: Yes but you never found him attractive before.
Tash: jealous Yama?
Mat: Of you? Ha!
Tash: As I thought. Review at your own risk, I'm getting used to nice things being said! I am actually very sorry for the fluffiness of this chapter but hey, it can only get angsty from here onwards. Big hugs to everyone who did read `emotion` (shameless plug alert) this fic is especially for you. I don't quiet know why it's called Odiba midnight but hey. Next chptr soon where there will be da da da dunnnn PLOT!
Mat: nooooooooooooooo.
