Secret Child
Mimi Tachicawa stood infront of a wooden apartment door with brass numbers labeled '186'.
"I can do this," she whispered to herself, a habit she had developed recently,"If I can handle the Digiworld, I can handle him..." she raised her fist to knock on the door, but stopped in mid air. "Then again, I did have my friends with me. Now i am completely alone," she raised the fist again, but stopped before it touched the wood. "I can't!" she turned away from the door. She remembered when he brought her here for the first time four years ago.
(flashback)
"My dad isn't home so we'll have the whole place to ourselves," he said smiling at her.
"What about your brother? Won't he find it strange for you to be kissing me?" Mimi asked uncertainly.
"He lives with my mom. My parents are divorced, remember?" he explained.
"Sorry Matt. I guess I forgot. Forgive me?" Mimi asked.
"Sure. No sweat. Well here we are," Matt said, stopping infront of door '186'. He unlocked the door and guided her in. "It's not Buckingham Palace, but it's home," Matt blushed.
"It's nice," Mimi said sincerly. Okay, so the color was tacky and there was about a gazillion dishes piled in the sink, but she'd seen worse. Matt guided her to his room and they sat in awkward silence on the bed.
"Hey, do you want to go to that beach party with me on Saturday?" Matt asked.
"I'd love to. Hey, I thought you didn't want anyone to know about us?" Mimi said, confused. When they started going out, they said their relationship would be a secret that they wouldn't even tell the other Digidestined.
"I don't. Izzy is helping Joe with his computer that night, Tai got grounded for 'accidently' putting his cat in the washer, Sora has to stay and help her mom arrange flowers, and Tk and Kari are too young to go," Matt explained.
"I see," Mimi said,"Hey, do you play?" she asked upon seeing a guitar in a corner.
"A little," Matt said, picking up the instrument. He played for her, slowly at first then his tempo and volume raised. He stopped playing, replaced the guitar, and sat back on the bed.
"You're really good," Mimi commented.
"Thanks. I want to start a band someday," he said.
"That's kinda cool. It's hard to imagine you in a boy band," she giggled. He frowned.
"It'd be a rock band," he said defensively.
"Sorry. I'm sure it'd be really good," she tried. He smiled at her and kissed her tenderly on the lips. The young couple kissed until it was time for Mimi to leave.
(End Flashback)
As she walked down the hall away from the door, Mimi thoughts consumed her. She had been so young; only thirteen. And so nieve. Now at sixteen, she regarded herself as a much stronger and smarter individual. Except when it came to Matt and the secret she was keeping from him. How could she tell him when the last time she had tried to talk about it with him, he shut her out?
(flashback)
"Forget it," Matt said, only a few months from the present time.
"What?" Mimi asked.
"Forget it. Don't dwell on it," he said shortly.
"Why?"
"Because things ended badly between us. And now with the threat of the Digimon Emperor, the Digidestined have to cooperate. No distractions. We're just friends. Nothing more. Nothing less," he stated.
"Fine," she said cooly,"That's all we are. Friends. Fine."
"Good," he said. She turned and walked away.
(End flashback)
She could have told him then, but she let her pride get in the way. Just like he did. He never showed weakness infront of anyone and niether did she. That was how it worked. She slowly walked back to her aunt's house to where she was staying for the week. She was only visiting Japan from New York to tell Matt the truth. If she could muster up the courage to do so.
