A few years has passed since Takato and Henry have saved the world with the help of Rika, Jeri, the Digimon, and everyone else involved. Some time had passed after those events that Takato and Henry still remain close almost like brothers since that event that occurred as their lives are about to change but the question remains is how will everyone take to the outcome of it. Since that time unknowing to Takato let alone Henry s family that he s been trying the dating scene for a little while with other guys his age to even a little older than he is but each relationship that he got involved in seemed to end in heartbreak. Henry wondered if there is anyone out there that could accept him for who he is and treat him the way he should during the relationship. There have been times he thought about trying to hook up with his best friend, Takato Matsuki and is nervous about asking him with the fact that Jeri seemed to like him in some way but unaware that Takato is unsure of who he hasn t discovered himself in that way, just yet.
As of late when Henry thinks about his best friend he feels his heart race thinking about the idea of the two of them together, even the thoughts go through his mind like If I asked him to be my boyfriend, how would he react? to Will he hate me for the rest of my life and not talk to me again for being gay or even attempting to ask him out? While he had those thoughts going through his mind, Takato has been enjoying the time outside of school while helping his parents out at their bakery. During one of his breaks Takato goes to his room thinking about what went on a few years ago and about Henry, while he thought mostly of Henry but as he does he wonders about himself if these feelings he has for him are true. At the same time he wondered if this is who he is, especially with Christmas coming up in the next four weeks, One thought that keeps running through Takato s mind is What if these feelings for Henry are true and if so, what will my parents say about their only son being gay? Will they kick me out for being this way? as he writes down his thoughts in his journal that he keeps hidden so nobody can easily read it as he kept it to write down these thoughts as for the past few months.
The days go on and school is drawing near for Thanksgiving break for everyone as everything goes on like it usually does for everyone. During that time Takato attempts to watch Henry during class but the moment that Henry looks and catches him, he quickly looks away or even pretend to be listening to the teacher or doing school work. Henry thinks to himself wonder what s wrong with Takato as he s been acting a little strange these past couple of months around me. but Henry quickly shakes it off as coincidence. Lunch comes around as Henry heads to the cafeteria heading through the lunch line grabbing only a salad, breadsticks and some juice as he looks around the cafeteria as he spots Takato all by himself as he heads over there sitting by his friend.
"Hey, Takato." says Henry.
"Oh, hey Henry." replied Takato as he looked up staring at Henry. As Henry sits down by him as Takato tries keeping his composure around his friend.
"Got any big plans for Thanksgiving?" asks Henry with a little curiosity in his voice.
"Other than spending time with my family, not really." says Takato as he tries hiding a slight smile as he wishes he could be open about his feelings right now. As they eat their lunch Takato wants to tell him so much about how he feels but afraid of being rejected or worse being made fun of for feeling that way about another boy.
"What about you, Henry?" as Takato asked nervously.
"Same as you, buddy. Sometimes I thought it d be cool if our families would get together on a holiday sometime but I don t think that ll happen." said Henry as he glances over at Takato trying to keep his cool best way he can. Upon hearing that come out of Henry s mouth Takato perks up a little.
"R-Realy?" replied Takato feeling a little tense hearing that but has a feeling that he thinks that if that happened it would only end like any other time that he s around Henry as friends.
Yeah. Thought about mentioning it to my parents see if they would want to do that. I mean you don t have much family around other than with your cousin you see from time to time. says Henry. Takato feels his heart flutter a little bit and feeling bit of butterflies in his stomach, but as he gets those feelings the bell rings signaling that lunch is done and time to get to the next class as Takato and Henry take their trays to be washed as they continue the rest of the day.
