Broken Pieces

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: i do not own digimon (if i did there would be a lot more takumi)

"Takuya, get your lazy ass up!" Shinya shouted at his older brother.

"Shinya, watch your mouth! Your on thin ice as is. Your father and I have to buy a new microwave now." Mrs. Kanbara yelled from the kitchen.

"Aw, how was I supposed to know that you can't put metal in the microwave?" Shinya grumbled. He turned his attention back onto Takuya. "C'mon, you wanted me to wake you at eleven so GET UP!"

Takuya snored and rolled over.

Shinya's eye twitched. He grabbed an alarm clock and let it ring loudly next to his brother's bed. Nothing. He tried banging a pair of cymbals to wake him. Still nothing. Finally a set of drums, a trumpet, and an air horn later he got out his last resort.

"I didn't want to have to do this.....who am I kidding, yeah I did."

Takuya curled up with his head under his pillow.

Shinya took aim and fired his heavy-duty watergun right into Takuya's raised ass.

"AAHHHH! YOU LITTLE BRAT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Takuya got up and began to chase after his brother.

"Hey, you said you wanted me to wake you! You didn't say how!" Shinya ran out of the house, knowing Takuya wouldn't run outside in just his boxers.

"I'll get you later!" Takuya shouted after him, then made a mental note to hang him on a flagpole.

He went back into his room and got dressed, then started heading over to Zoe's.

"I don't think she'll care if I'm a bit early," he said to himself.

Fifteen minutes later he walked into the house without knocking, as he usually did. He saw a note on the counter that said Zoe, your uncle and I had to run to the store. We should be back within an hour or two. Call us if you need anything. Love, Tomoyo.

"Zoe?" He wandered through the house. "Maybe she's still sleeping. I'll just go and wake her up."

We opened her bedroom and said, "Zoe wake up-"

He then realized that Zoe was awake and that he should have knocked. He had walked into her room while she was in the middle of getting dressed. She had a skirt on but she was also wearing a pink bra, holding a shirt in her hands.

Zoe turned completely red. "Get out of here! I'm getting dressed! I'll let you know when I'm done." She held her shirt over her chest to try to cover herself.

Takuya also turned red. "I'm sorry!" He turned to leave the room but not before walking into the door frame. He then staggered out and shut the door. Takuya was breathing heavy, his mind trying not to concentrate on the sight he had just seen. She looks good in pink, he couldn't help but think.

Zoe shakily pulled her shirt over her head. How embarrassing, I've known him for less than 24 hours and he's already seen me half naked, she thought. I wonder if he liked what he saw.....

"Stop it stupid," she said quietly to herself. She regained her composure. "Okay I'm all set."

Takuya clumsily made his way back into the room. "Sorry, I thought you were sleeping and I was going to wake you up. I guess I should have knocked." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"It's okay, just knock from now on." Zoe smoothed her skirt out. "So.....what did you want to do today?"

"Well, you said that you need to learn to crawl before you walk, so let's get to it."

Before Zoe could say anything, Takuya picked her up off her bed and set her on the floor.

"But I can't crawl yet, I have to strengthen my legs first," she said.

Takuya smiled. "You won't know until you've tried. Here, I'll help you get on your knees." He repositioned her, only to have her collapse onto his lap.

"I told you, I'm not ready to crawl. I can't even hold myself up," she said sadly.

"Don't worry, you'll get it eventually. Kind of like a baby."

Zoe sighed. "This is going to be harder than I thought."

Takuya helped her get up and tried to help her sit but lost his balance (he's pretty damn clumsy sometimes) and fell on top of her.

They stared into each other's eyes for a moment before the door opened.

"Zoe, we're back-" Tomoyo stopped dead in her tracks. "Uh....I'm sorry. My bad." She tried not to smile. "I'll just leave you two alone." She left the room and shut the door. "Yes!" She said quietly to herself.

"Uuuuuhhhhhh......." They said in unision.

"My bad!" Takuya jumped off of her.

"It's okay. Let's take a break from this."

"But we've only been doing this for like a minute", he said.

"Yeah, but I'm already tired. Let's get something to eat. That might help when I try again later. Have you eaten already?"

"You don't know me that well. I ate something before I left, but I always make room for more food." He smiled. "Tomoyo and Takashi will have to run back to the store when I'm through eating."

Zoe laughed. "Alright, let's go." Her chair was close enough where she could reach it. She started to use her arms to pull herself up into it, only to have Takuya pull her into it.

"There you go. C'mon, let's eat."

Zoe smirked. "Pig. Where do you put it all?"

"I dunno, maybe I'm part cow. Cows have four stomachs...or somthing like that."

He looks pretty damn good if he eats a truckload of food a day...knock it off Zoe, she thought to herself.

They went into the kitchen and Takuya started rummaging through the fridge and pantry, knowing exactly where everything was.

"Are you sure you'd rather spend the day with me instead of your friends?" Zoe asked half-jokingly.

Takuya turned around, serious. "No, I really like hanging out with you. I mean I've only known you for like a day, but it seems like I've known you for a lot longer. Besides if I was with my friends right now they'd probably want to have a burping contest and give each other wedgies."

Zoe smirked. "What, getting a wedgie doesn't sound like fun to you?"

"You wouldn't believe how many pairs of my boxers have been ripped", he said cringing. "If you want to meet them, I wouldn't mind introducing them to you."

"That's up to you. They won't make fun of you for hanging out with a girl?" She quipped.

"Nope, especially after I told them how cute you are," he blurted without thinking. He blushed suddenly. "Uuuuhhhhh........oh, you want some pizza?" He a frozen pizza out of the freezer.

"Sure, sounds good." She was also a bit red. He thinks I'm cute?

"I'll introduce them to you tomorrow, just because I told them I wouldn't be around today."

"Alright, this should be fun," she replied as he put the pizza into the oven.
