Title: Secrets

Drabble #: 3

Couple: Takeru X Ken (Kenkeru/Taken)

Takeru Takaishi was a calm, collected, and friendly teen, but right now you wouldnt even guess that this Takeru and the calm Takeru were the same boy. This boy wore a frown on his face, and looked like he was about to kill someone. Everytime one his his friends would try to talk to him, he would either yell or say a rude comment. It was clear, this Takeru was having a ivery/i bad day.

It was Saturday, and he was at the park with his friends having a picnic. He had said he couldnt go, but Yamato, his brother, had dragged him along. Along side Yamato and Takeru was, Hikari, Taichi, Iori, Sora, Jyou, Ken, and Daisuke. The rest of the older kids couldnt make it and Miyako had been grounded the previous day and still had 3 days left.

"Takeru"

The blonde boy growled and turn to the direction of the voice. Daisuke. Takeru glared at him. "Takeru, I have a secret to tell you." Daisuke said softly.

Takeru just rolled his eyes, "What Daisuke?" he growled. The rest of the kids just watched the two. Knowing Daisuke, he was about to piss off Takeru which would end up with a sobbing Daisuke.

"Come here." Daisuke motioned for the blonde to come close so he could whisper in his ear. Takeru leaned in close, not wanting to, but he did so anyways. Daisuke grabbed Takeru's head and placed his ear near his mouth and began to whisper something. "You..."

Takeru nodded.

"Are being..." Daisuke whispered softly.

Takeru nodded again.

"A jackass!" Daisuke shouted in Takeru's ear.

Takeru shoved Daisuke away from his face. He grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled Daisuke up. Both boys were standing now. Daisuke started flailing his arms and screaming like a little girl. Taichi, Yamato and Hikari were laughing, knowing that it would end up like this. Jyou and Iori were worrying, Jyou more franticly. Sora had gone to get some snacks from the store and Ken was trying to break up the boys.

"Ken! Save me, he's gunna kill me!" Daisuke wailed. Takeru was just glaring at the younger boy.

"Daisuke, Takeru, stop it." Ken commanded. He tried to push the two boys apart, but couldnt. Takeru was holding on too tightly. "Takeru, let him go." Ken said, more firmly this time.

Takeru glared at Ken but did as he was told. Daisuke collapsed into a heap on the floor. He got up and scrambled to Taichi. Takeru didnt move. Ken put his hand on Takeru's shoulder, "Wanna talk about it?" He asked. Takeru just nodded. Ken told the others where they were going and the two boys headed over to the swing set on the other side of the park. Takeru was still in his swing, and Ken was swinging a little.

"So... Whats up Takeru?" Ken asked. He was worried about the blonde. he hadnt been himself for a while now. He was always fighting with Daisuke. He also seemed more distant from Hikari, and those two were always together.

"Daisuke asked Hikari out..." Takeru said softly, Ken barely heard him.

Ken chuckled softly. "He does that every week doesnt he?" He asked. Takeru smiled a little. "Yeah..." His smiled dissapeared. "This time... she..."

"Takeru... Are you crying?" Ken asked, with a hint of worry in his voice. Takeru looked up at Ken. He was biting his lip, and tears were falling down his cheeks.

Ken placed his feet on the ground, bringing his swing to a stop. he jumped off and went behind Takeru and hugged him. he leaned his head on Takeru's and wrapped his arms around his chest. Takeru slowly raised his hands and held on to Ken's arms. "Ken... She said yes... She said yes... To Daisuke..." He muttered inbetween sobs.

"It'll be okay... I know you liked her, but you'll get over it. Besides... She isnt the only person that likes you, and you have lots of other choices." Ken said, trying to make Takeru feel better.

Takeru looked up at Ken. He used his sleeve to rub away the tears. "What do you mean 'she isnt the only person that likes you'"? Takeru asked. No one else like him as far as he knew. He stood up from his swing and turned around to face Ken.

Ken bit his lip. "Um..." He put his hands on Takeru's shoulders. Takeru blinked a few times, he was wondering what Ken was doing.

"Takeru..." Ken leaned in close to the blondes face, he could feel Takeru's breathe on his cheeks. Ken leaned in and kissed Takeru. Ken pulled away, and started to walk back to the group. He turned around and looked at Takeru. "I like you." He said, the continued on his way.

Takeru was stunned. He touched his fingers to his lip. "Ken... Likes me?"

Maybe Takeru would get over Hikari faster then he thought.
