SS-I can't believe I'm writing a Digimon fic. Wait, why am I doing this again?
Tym-Because I dared you to. Go on, you're doing fine.
SS- =/ Ok...whatever, I guess giving it a shot wouldn't hurt. Well, I'm Sleepy Sheep, or SS for short and I'll be your host/writer/authoress for this fic. which is odd because I usually write YGO fics.
Tym-Yea well, what are you gonna do? BTW I'm Tyrannomon, Tym to all you digidudes and dudettes. I'm her sidekick, and I usually write the Digimon fics, but I dared her to try this one. DISCLAIMER: Neither of us own Digimon, but if we did...there would be some BIG changes...
SS-Well, we came up with this idea together so he gets some credit too.
&words to readers&
~This'll circle around TK+Matt...don't get any funny ideas...it's a cute brotherly love thing. The other digidestined will be in here too, but they're not mentioned a whole lot. This takes place a year after season 1 and it's the beginning of summer. One of my friends told me that TK+Matt's parent's names' are Nancy and Malcolm? I know Nancy's right...so why don't we just stick with those ok? Ok, good. Here are some symbol notes:
"Stop"-talking
'stalling.'-thoughts
*Start*-pyshical action...like *looks at the clock*
****Writing!****-scene change
SS-Ok Tym...I'm starting...*whispers* Geez, why don't you try writing a YGO fic, then you'll see what it's like to switch gears...

Hold my hand
Prologue
*Matt's POV*
****In the car****
Mom and dad were there waiting for us, when we all got back from the Digital world. I can't believe this is over already, I mean, it seemed like it was just yesterday that we all got sucked in at camp. Sometimes, I would give anything to turn back the clock to that day, then other times *looks from the window to TK, who was asleep in Matt's lap* I'm glad that I can't. Sure, I'd love to relive the adventure; the excitement...but then, I wouldn't have learned some things about myself. I wouldn't have become such good friends with everyone, and I wouldn't have become so close to TK. He practically cried himself to sleep after we returned, partly because he missed Patamon, and partly because he missed the others.
*sigh* I'm going to miss Gabumon more than anything, he was always there to listen to me, to comfort me, and to get me out of jams...well, actually Tai did that too. I smiled at the thought, yup, that was Tai. Our goofy, impulsive, courageous leader, and my best friend...besides Gabumon of course. I'm also going to miss TK. I wish we didn't live so far away, but that's something between mom and dad. My brotherly instincts are still on, so I can't even think of leaving TK now. I guess that's why I'm holding him, cradling him in my arms. Mom and dad must be wondering why I'm so protective all of a sudden. Before summer, I probably would have let him sleep on the other side of the car and that was that. And if I can't even let go of him now, how was I supposed to drop him off, then go across town to my house? *looks out the foggy window*
Tai's so lucky, all he has to do is yell and Kari would pop out asking what was wrong. *looks back to TK* I don't want to leave him, *brushes his messy yellow hair from his face* it's not fair. *gently kisses his forehead* TK stirred a little, then opened his eyes and looked up to me. I mentally kicked myself for waking him up.
"Hey squirt, sorry if I woke you." TK just yawned, then put his head back against my chest.
"It's ok Matt, I don't mind." He closed his eyes, then gripped my shirt again. "Matt, where are we going?"
"We're going home TK, we'll be there in a couple minutes."
"Are you staying? Like...overnight?" The smile that was on my face faded a little, I adjusted my grip on him and replied.
"I don't know...do you want me to stay?" He opened his eyes and looked up to me.
"Yea! Of course I want you to stay!" He lowered his voice (not that it was that loud in the 1st place), then continued. "You were with me all summer Matt, I couldn't imagine you not being there now." My smile returned, it felt so good knowing that TK wanted me around, that he still needed me to be there for him. He closed his eyes again and went back to his original position. I leaned down so that I was right by his ear and answered him.
"I'll see what I can do squirt, but if you really want me there, I promise I'll stay with you tonight." He grinned, hugging me tighter than before. I hugged him too, then started to think of a way to convince our parents to let me stay.
We got to TK's house pretty late, around 10:30pm or so, as mom opened the door, I carried TK in and looked around. The place didn't look any different from the last time I came over, so I headed to TK's room as soon as dad came in...but mom stopped me.
"Where are you going Matt?" I turned around to face her, where did it look like I was going?
"I'm going to TK's room, to tuck him in."
"You don't need to, I'll do it. You two had better get back on the road soon anyway." I didn't step closer to her, I just held my lil brother and stood there.
"It's ok, I want to do it." I hurried into his room before mom could respond. As I pulled the covers back, and laid him down, I could hear our parent's voices.
"Since when did Matt become so brotherly Malcolm?"
"Probably when they were in the monster world." Dad never said Digital world, I wanted to ask him, but thought better of it.
"I think it's great...but it's also a shame."
"How could caring about TK be a shame Nancy?"
"Because, because they live miles apart. It'll be very hard to split them up, especially after that monster ordeal."
"Don't worry, TK's already asleep, by the time he wakes up he'll get over it."
"I don't know..." I didn't like the way that conversation was going, I just concentrated on making TK comfortable. I was going to leave, to go outside to try and convince mom to let me stay, until TK grabbed my hand.
"Matt?" It was lower than a whisper, but I heard it anyway, and sat down next to him.
"What's wrong TK?" If I wasn't focusing all my attention on TK, I might have heard our parents come up to the door...but I didn't...right now, only TK mattered. "Do you feel all right?"
"I feel fine Matt, well, I'm kinda tired."
"Ok, want me to go?"
"No...I was wondering if...if you could stay here with me until I fall asleep. Like you did in the Digital world." He was so adorable when he stared at me like that. It was the kind of look you couldn't say no to...and I definitely couldn't say no to my baby brother.
"Sure TK, I'll stay with you."
"Thanks..." He scooted over, and I got in. He leaned against me, but I saw that his back was hitting the headboard, so I lifted him up to the way he was before in the car. Then I pulled up the soft blankets and held him close. Sure, my back was against the headboard, but it didn't matter, TK's comfort came first. He was asleep in seconds, that was when I could hear my parents again.
"Well, I guess I should make up the couch for you. It doesn't look like Matt's going to get up anytime soon."
"Yea, but he might come out later, sitting against the board doesn't look too comfortable."
"Well, we're not sleeping right away, if he comes out then you guys will just have to share." I could hear them walk away, then thought about what dad said. He was right, I couldn't stay like this for long, other wise I'll have a permanent line across my back. But if I got up, I might wake TK, then again, I could always try to slide down. *slowly moves off the head board and onto the bed* That wasn't too hard, it's much easier to sleep like this. *moves blankets so that he was covered, but TK wasn't completely under them* I whispered a good night to my lil brother, then welcomed the sleep that was overtaking me.
Hold my Hand
Ch. 1 It was an accident
(I just decided to add the 1st ch. in with the prologue.)
*3rd person POV*
Matt and his dad stayed with TK and his mom for a week or so before returning home. The boys saw each other once a week or so, usually on the weekends, and it was always a sleep over. The visits slowed down as school started, but they still kept in touch one way or another. Then, summer came, and they arranged a long visit. Matt and their father were going to stay for one week at TK's, then TK and their mom would stay a week at Matt's. It was perfect.
****In Nancy's car****
Nancy and TK had just picked up Matt and Malcolm, and were heading for TK's house. Their parent's were busy talking, so the brothers started a conversation of their own.
"Hey Matt, did you bring your harmonica?" Matt nodded at pulled it out of his pocket.
"Of course, I'd never leave home without it. Why?" TK smiled.
"I got something for you, it's in my backpack in the trunk, can I go get it?"
"Sure." TK reach over to the compartment that led to the trunk (You know how some cars have something you pull down so that you can put your drinks in it? After pulling that down there's a small door, you open that and it leads to the trunk), but his seat belt stopped, and he couldn't reach it.
"Can I take this off?"
"Yea, but be quick." TK clicked the button and it released, then he moved towards the compartment and pulled it down. Just then a tanker swerved around the corner and sped towards them. Nancy turned the wheel sharply, and the tires screeched. It all went by so fast that Matt only felt a jerk and saw a flash of scenes. When he finally got out of his dizzy spell, he looked up to the tanker. They hadn't hit it, but crashed into a light pole as a result of turning so quickly. As soon as their mom and dad had gotten over the external shock, they were met by the truck driver. Matt shook his head a bit, feeling a headache coming. He closed his eyes and rubbed his head as he spoke.
"TK, are you ok? TK?" He opened his eyes and looked over to his lil brother, and when he saw him, he paled. His whole world seemed to shatter, as did his heart. TK was leaning against the door, eyes closed and head tilted over his shoulder. And from the side of his head, a small stream of blood flowed down and off his once white t-shirt. Matt ripped his seat belt off and was by his side in seconds. He cradled his baby brother in his arms, making sure that he had proper head support. It took him a few seconds to get over the shock before he found his voice and spoke again.
"TK? TK?! TK please answer me!" When no answer came, Matt feared the worst. He grabbed his brother's small hand and checked his pulse, it was there, but it was weak. "TK you have to be all right, I don't know what I'd do if you didn't make it through this." He held his hand, squeezing it slightly, hoping that he would squeeze back and be ok. Sadly, TK didn't squeeze back, he just lay there, completely still. Matt couldn't hold the tears back anymore, they slid down his face and as most of them landed on his shirt, a few strayed to TK's.
"TK?! TK!!!" By that time his parents (Where have they been?) had seen their sons and while their dad dialed 911, their mom was crying out TK's name. But it was useless. TK couldn't hear any of them anymore. But Matt kept holding him in his arms, clutching his small hand, and hoping beyond all hope that he was going to be all right.
~*~*~*~*~
SS-Phew, done. Hey that wasn't all that different from a YGO fic. Just different characters and stuff.
Tym-Uh huh, told you it was easy.
SS-Yea, well I hate to start this off with a cliffy, but updates will be coming soon. Sweat Dweams! Plz r/r!
Tym-Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her, the next ch. will be out before you know it! Ashes ta Ashes Digidudes!
SS-Oh wait...I made another ending for this ch. last minute, but ending up staying with the original one, but here it is if you wanna read it...
(Right after the car crash)
~ "TK? TK?! TK please answer me!" An answer was barely heard, but Matt caught it.
"Ma-matt...I do-don't feel s-so goo-d." Matt was holding back all his tears, he couldn't let TK see him crying. He had to stay strong.
"Shhh, it's ok buddy, you're going to be ok."
"Pro-promi-se?"
"Uh huh, I promise you'll be ok." TK barely smiled before passing out. Matt shook him a few times, then cried out to him.
"TK?! TK!!!" By that time his parents (Where have they been?) had seen their sons and while their dad dialed 911, their mom was crying out TK's name. But it was useless. TK couldn't hear either of them anymore. But Matt kept holding him in his arms, clutching his small hand, and hoping beyond hope that he was all right. ~
SS-This was a good ending, but then I realized that it wouldn't fit in with the next ch. FYI, I usually make lots of changes to my ch.s before submitting them, so you can expect some more deleted/extra scenes. It's just like a DVD, you don't need to, but if you want to, you can read some of the other things that could have been in there, or in this case, read a new ending to one that you might not have liked. It's just for you guys, tkx and plz r/r!
