Temptation Wings
Hesitant Truths
By: Crysie


Davis seemed down on his luck because of the way things weren't fixed with Ken and only made them worse by receiving an oral from him. How could he allow this to happen? He never even let Matt give him an oral, and here he's allowing a person who he doesn't even love to give him head. How could things possibly go worse?

Things with Matt were not getting any better. They hadn't even spoken since the night of their argument, which was three days ago. Things aren't exactly great with the others, either. At school, he heard TK talking to Kari about how upset Matt's been for the last few days and how he thinks it's a new boyfriend's fault. If TK ever found out it was him making Matt so upset, it wuld be deemed that there is no savior.

Davis sighed and once again took the picture of him and Matt out of under his pillow. Looking at it with somewhat remorse, he wished things went back to the way they were before. It was his fault for everything: for making Matt feel so worthless, for beginning the ruin of his relationship with Matt, and for not just refusing the oral Ken had given him. Damn hormones.

He groaned and took it upon himself to never fall in love again. Of course that wouldn't happen or cheer him up any, but it serves as an excuse for these horrible feelings of guilt because of cheating on the one he loved.

It was time to give Kari a call and request to take a trip to the Digital World. He somehow had to get the Kaizer to talk to him, which wouldn't be an easy task considering the others would be there. How is he supposed to start a conversation with him if the others are surrounding him? He would have to figure out something later. For now, he had to make sure Kari agreed with him. The others being there would serve as a source of protection, for Davis felt insecure about aproaching the Kaizer.

He found the cordless phone in Jun's room - of course - and took it back to my own. He dialed the number and waited a few moments for someone to pick up. When the phone was answered, he heard a voice he never thought he would.

Yagami residence.

Matt? Is that you? Was he really hearing right?

he said slowly.

Why are you at Tai's? Davis demanded, leaning against the wall of my room.

He was helping me with a few things, he said, his voice very quiet. He sounded almost sad, and it wasn't really hard to guess why, even for a person such as himself.

It didn't really seem to fit, but Davis didn't give it another thought. As much as he wanted to speak to Matt, he didn't want to speak to him. It was a yes-no situation. Surely he wanted to fix things with Matt, right? He wasn't so positive at this point and decided to ask for Kari instead.

I'll find her. Hold on a moment, he said in that same tone as before.

It was a few minutes before her cheerful voice picked up. For a while they talked about nothing but school, soccer and why Mr. Fujiama was an odd teacher. Finally, Davis brought up the subject of the Digital World.

We have to attack the Kaizer harder.

I suppose you're right, but we can't force anything, Kari said. We can try and think positively, but until we know who the Kaizer is and find a better tactic to defeating him, we're hopeless.

Then let's go tomorrow and see what we can pick up on.

Okay. I'll call the others so they can think of some stupid excuse to give their parents, she said, laughing slightly.

They said their goodbyes and hung up, leaving Davis with nothing but his thoughts. They were beginning to annoy him greatly, mainly because any minute he wasn't distracted by someone, thoughts of guilty pleasure filled his mind. It wasn't particularly easy to get along with.

***

As usual, he beat his alarm clock and fell back asleep. This caused him to fall behind as far as time went, which meant he missed his first class of the day.

Why the hell does this always happen to me? he muttered with a bang of his fist against his locker so it would open. It was the only way.

You missed Bio.

Davis turned to find TK and sighed. In a way, he was glad to miss the class so that I didn't have to face this blondie. He's blonde, just like Matt. Why did the two have to have such a close resemblance?

Did I miss much? he asked, pulling his books out for the next class, which was mathematics.

Not really. Mrs, Sujoi was whining about not being paid enough. Ill give you the notes that we did end up taking, TK said, beginning to rummage through his bag.

Davis waited for TK to hand him the notes before he was off to his next class. The day seemed to quicken speed, only because Davis had been anxiously debating what he would do when meeting the Kaizer.

All too soon, many of the pupils had left the school, which left the younger Digidestined able to transfer through the computer.

You're awfully quiet today.

Davis glanced up to see TK beginning to trot along beside him. Lowering his eyes, he said, I'm just tired.

They continued forward for a while. TK and Kari were ahead of him, whispering as usual. They probably thought something was wrong because I wasn't making moves on Kari. If only they knew he had to chase away two males who wouldn't leave him alone.

Just as Davis was escaping into his thoughts once again, a blast sending Kari falling back caused him to look up.

Are you okay? TK shouted, running towards her.

There were three digimon of some sort, standing before them. It continued to shoot it's fire-type attacks, which caused them to fall back until their digmon had digivolved.

It was a battle of wits as one digimon was defeated by the strategy thought of by TK and Kari. As the other four worked on the two digimon, Davis scanned the area, spotting exactly who he was looking for. The Kaizer was lurking in the distance, and Davis could already see a smirk on his face.

I've spotted the Kaizer! Davis called, beginning to run. I'll go catch him!

It's too dangerous, Yolei yelled, but was distracted by her digimon being attacked.

Within a moment, Davis was staring into the eyes of the Kaizer, who never ceased the smirk.

Enjoying my distraction?

Ignoring him, Davis said, Leave me alone. Stay away from me.

Actually, I have a better thought. The Kaizer's eyes gleamed as he reached forward and took a hold of his wrist, grasping it tightly.

Let go of me! Davis yelled, struggling against the tightened hand.

The Kaizer began pulling on his wrist, forcing him to walk forward. At first, Davis stopped struggling and allowed himself to be pulled along like a slave. They didn't walk for very long before Davis pushed against the Kaizer, which must have shocked him because he fell over; Davis landed on top of him.

The two wrestled for a moment, fighting for dominance. As Davis was pinned, he reached up, trying to claw at the Kaizer's face, consequently, knocking off his glasses. Both silenced for a moment, staring into the other's eyes.



He jumped off Davis and began to run. It took a moment for Davis to gather his thoughts before chasing after Ken. He never really put two and two together to put that conclusion together before it was deemed true. How could he not? The way the Kaizer spoke was so similar to Ken... Glancing up, he immediately jumped to his feet to chase after Ken.

Davis spotted Ken disappear through a TV and followed him through, winding up in the corner of a Café. Briefly he wondered where he was before recognizing it as a coffee shop he went to periodically with Matt. There wasn't much time to think about it any longer because he needed to find Ken. Running through the door, he spotted him running for the subway.

Like a hawk spotting his prey, he ran after Ken, catching up with him in a matter of moments. Grabbing a hold of his wrist, he pulled him into an alley and pushed him against the wall.

You lied to me!

You fell for it! Ken yelled back. Surprisingly, he was still wearing that trademark smirk.

Everything was a lie! You've caused me to have doubts for Matt! Sick bastard! Davis screamed, his eyes blurring with tears.

You liked the oral and I bet you'd want it again. Only, you're not getting another one because I'm through with you, Ken sneered, pushing Davis back. You're not worth anything but a good fuck. Too bad I hadn't forced you like I should have ages ago! Worthless dog.

Davis' fists balled, but he wasn't sure what to say.

Ken glanced to his left and something showed in his eyes. Surprise, perhaps? Quickly, he fixed his gaze on Davis again. Leave me alone or I'll charge you for assault. Better fix things with Matt and tell him the truth before something slips out.

You wouldn't!

I would, Ken said. He calmly walked away, only turning his head back once to say, Your worth nothing.

Davis waited until Ken descended before falling to his knees and beginning to cry. He had been used––lied to. He was worthless.

***

It had taken a few hours for Davis to collect himself and phone Kari to tell her everything. A lie, anyway. He told her the truth about the Kaizer being Ken, but lied and said he had lost him after he ran into their world. After talking with her, he wandered over to Matt's apartment with intentions of keeping the truth hidden.

Davis waited momentarily until Tai opened the door, wearing a frown on his face.

Hey Tai, Davis said cheerfully. Is Matt around?

You should stay away from here from now on.

Davis asked, shocked by all means.

Let him in, Tai, Matt's faint voice called.

Tai sighed and allowed Davis into the apartment, shutting the door behind him. He tried ignoring the brunette behind him as he walked into the main room, finding Matt in his worst looking state. Davis couldn't help but gasp at the swollen eyes and tear streaked face.

How could you do this to me? Matt asked, his voice croaking.

How could have Ken told him so soon? He forced himself to take a seat beside Matt, and tried taking a hold of his hand, but the blonde wouldn't allow him to.

I'm so sorry, he said, tears beginning to well in his eyes. How did you find out?

Tai and I were grabbing a coffee and saw you running after him. Heard everything. Ken saw me, Matt said dully. You wouldn't have told me about this, would you?

Davis sighed and shook his head, for once, telling the truth. I'm so sorry...

It isn't enough, Davis.

I know! But please––we can work on this! Davis cried out.

Tai told me about when he caught you kissing Ken. He told you to work it out then, but you didn't. Matt buried his head in his hands.

I know... It was a mistake, though! Ken lied to me!

You lied to me! Matt screamed, his head lifting. You lied to me! You told me you loved me! You slept with another person when we're together!

We didn't sleep together, Davis said, mentally smacking himself for such a weak reply.



Please forgive me, Davis said, crawling on his knees on the floor.

Matt stared at him blankly, merely shaking his head. Davis clasped onto his hands, hoping his eyes were begging enough.

Go home. Stay away from me, Matt said, breaking loose of Davis' grasp and beginning to weep softly.

He felt Tai's hand on his shoulder before finding the door slammed in his face.

He lost everything. What he thought was a decision between three people, caused him to lose the both of them.

Alone would be his way of life now. He would be shunned out of the group once the others find out. TK and Kari would hate him.

He hated himself.

Temptation was too strong for him to control. It lifted him into the sky, caused him to imagine he was able to choose what he wanted, and then left him without anything. Now, he will suffer because of the temptation wings. Suffer alone.

The End

I know this fic is satisfactory. I'm apologize that it is not good enough.
