This is the Moment
* * *
Part 3 of my little trilogy is right here. If you didn't see the disclaimers on the first two parts, go back and read then, I'll wait. Ba-da-da-da-da-da-daa-da, Ba-da-da-da-da-da-daa-da. Ba da ba da ba da ba da dum*
*(To the tune of the beginning of "Murder, Murder"). Back so soon? So, now that you understand the warnings of this story, you may proceed. And, if I like you, I may make this story have a good ending. And, in the interest of making the story somewhat more realistic (if not at all canon), I'm identifying their ages at the time of the story as Daisuke-14, Ken-15 (which means season 2 actually has ended. Which also means I am abandoning all appearances of being canon). Anyway, enjoy.

~This is the moment!
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!~
"Hi, Ken-kun," Hikari greeted. "I really hope you were planning on talking to Daisuke." She gestured to the rest of the group, where Daisuke's voice could be heard shouting at what was probably Miyako. "He's been very vindictive all day." Then, she leaned towards him, she hissed, "What did you do to him?" Ken shook his head, and hurried over to where Daisuke was arguing with Iori.
"Come with me; we need to talk," Ken said simply, and dragged the brunette after him. When they were significantly separated from the others, in a small grove of trees, Ken sat down on a tree stump, and looked up at Daisuke. "Listen, Dai-chan, I have a couple of things to say to you. First, I'm sorry."
~Every endeavor
I have made-ever-
Is coming into play,
Is here and now-today!~
Daisuke turned away, sullen.
"Sorry? You think that's enough? I had something very important to me to say to you, and you just say 'I've got things I need to work out.' Ken, what makes you think what you had to 'work out' was important enough to hurt your best friend for?" Ken sighed, and looked into Daisuke's eyes.
"I-Dai-chan, I've been thinking a lot lately and-"
"What else is new?" Ken carefully forced his hands to remain uncurled. Daisuke was being so aggravating!
~This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!~
Ken couldn't take it anymore. He stood up, stalked over to Daisuke, grabbed the sides of his head, and kissed him forcefully. Daisuke was shocked into silence. When he spoke, his voice was wavering.
"Ken-chan, you either did that to shut me up, which would make you the most despicable sleazbag I've met since the Kaiser, or you're interested in me, which means you have a lot of explaining to do." Ken sat down on the grass, and pulled Daisuke down next to him.
~Give me this moment-
This precious chance-
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!~
"Dai-chan, I do like you, a lot, but I was having personal problems. I...I really still don't know who I am, and I had to find that before I could make any sort of commitment to anyone." He leaned against Daisuke, slipping his arm around the other boy's waist. "I still don't really know what kind of a person I am." Daisuke responded by wrapping his arms around Ken's shoulders.
"I could have told you who you are, Ken-chan. You are Ichijouji Ken, smart, but not quite a genius anymore, kind, reserved, but not afraid to open up to his friends, cute, funny when he wants to be, and just evil enough to be interesting once in a while." Ken just stared at him.
"Cute?" Daisuke nodded, grinning. "Well, it all makes so much sense when you put it that way." He leaned into Daisuke's chest, sighing happily. "I never thought that someone could pinpoint me so well. I don't suppose this explains everything, does it?"
"You had to do some soul-searching? I understand perfectly. I'm just glad you decided to try and explain instead of just let things boil over. I might have had to beat you up, you know."
"Like you could?"
~This is the moment
When all I've done-
All of the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming
Become one!~
"Shall I take this to mean that you feel the same way?" Ken inquired. "Because if it doesn't, I might consider getting out of your lap." Daisuke smiled faintly at Ken, and took his hand.
"Do you know how long I've wanted for us to be like this? I threw hints at you for years. Well, more for the past year." Ken, still smiling, stretched out against Daisuke's body.
"Do you think that maybe we should head back?" he asked. Daisuke frowned slightly, and gently moved Ken off of him.
"Fine. But I'm not happy. So what should we tell them?"
"That we're official?" Daisuke blushed.
"But what will they think?"
"According to Minomon, most of them know you're interested in me. So this shouldn't be much of a surprise." Ken kissed Daisuke's cheek and stood up.
~This is the day-
See it sparkle and shine!-
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!~
Daisuke remained seated, and pulled Ken down onto the gras, and peppered his face with kisses.
"Then they shouldn't be surprised if we're gone for a while." Ken just relaxed, allowing Daisuke to take control. "You know, this is all I've ever wanted, Ken-chan."
"What?" Ken asked, lying back on the ground. Daisuke just placed his hands on Ken's shoulders and grinned.
"Someone who cares about me." He leaned down the rest of the way and kissed Ken's lips. When Ken opened his mouth in surprise, Daisuke slipped in his tongue, exploring the other's mouth. A light gasp escaped Ken's throat as the kiss intensified, and when it broke, he simply stared into Daisuke's warm, brown eyes.
~For all these year,
I've face the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!~
"Wow, Dai-chan. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were experienced in these areas." Daisuke grinned, and rolled over so he was next to Ken, staring up at the sky.
"I'm tempted to just leave right now, Ken-chan." There was silence for a few moments, and then Ken spoke up.
"You know, I've always been a loner. I thought I'd make it through life by myself. And I made it this far with only Wormmon and me. But now..."
"You've realized that life without Motimoya Daisuke is unbearable? I know; the Motimoya charm is a curse, really," Daisuke quipped. Ken propped himself on his elbows, and stared at Daisuke's recumbent form.
"Which is why your sister has men crawling all over her? No, Dai-chan, it's just you. You're brave, a great friend, you've got this-vibrant energy that just radiates off you, you're absolutely beautiful, and...you've got perseverance. It's all part of what I love about you."
"L-love?"
~This is the moment-
My final test-
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned
second best!~
"Yes. I thought maybe so last night, but now I know. Ai shiteru, Dai-chan." Daisuke was quiet for a few moments, and then...
"Then ai shiteru, Ken-chan. I-" He broke off, and simply grapsed Ken's hand. He didn't need words to express how he felt; they tended to make him awkward. They sat in silence there for what could have been seconds, minutes, or hours.
~I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!~
Ken rolled over slightly so that he was leaning against Daisuke. Cuddling like that, he still was silent. The day was warm, and in a few moments, Daisuke fell asleep. Ken smiled, snuggling against Daisuke's chest. He didn't really care about the others at this moment; the warmth of the day, the cheery silence, and the comfort offered by Daisuke were what mattered.
"I won't ever let you go, Dai-chan," he muttered.
"Ar'gato," Daisuke murmured back sleepily. That alone would have brought a smile to Ken's mouth. However...he *was* tired. In fifteen minutes, the two teenagers were fast asleep.
~This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll sit forever
With the gods!~
"Ahem." Ken sat bolt upright, awake in an instant. Daisuke woke slower, but was just as wide awake. Inoue Miyako stood over them, her eyes glowing dangerously. "What do the two of you think you're doing?" she demanded. Ken cowered back, and Daisuke took the lead.
"Um, we got tired?"
"What Daisuke means is...we're dating," Ken piped up. "And if that upsets you, Miya-" He was hit with a flying tackle from Miyako.
"Congratulations! That was all I wanted to know." She stood up, and brushed herself off. "Sorry, Dai-kun, I guess you wanted the privilege to do that. But I wanted to make sure that this wasn't some weird misunderstanding." She stood up, and they both noticed the others gathered. "You were away a while, and we wanted to make sure you were okay," she explained. "Now I think we'll leave you two alone." The other Digidestined, and their respective Digimon, filed out. Veemon and Wormmon remained.
"I knew you could do it, Daisuke!" Veemon cheered. Wormmon crawled over to Ken and nuzzled his leg.
"Ken-chan, I knew you would be fine if you just were yourself." Then the two Digimon discreetly slipped away.
"So, we're alone again," Daisuke said nervously. Ken smiled.
"So? We can just sit here. We can talk, sleep, make out, whatever." Daisuke blushed, and then sat next to Ken, slipping his arm around his shoulder.
~When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!~
"Ai shiteru, Dai-chan."
"Are we doing that again?"
"What? I just said I love you."
"But it means I have to say it back."
"Gods, if it's such a chore-mmph!"
"I don't like saying it; it's much better to show it."
"Well...that was...interesting," Ken gasped. Daisuke smiled smugly.
"Well, this ranks up in my list of good days," he said. "Right after the time I got these goggles."
"You're joking."
"No; even better than the day I actually blocked one of your shots." Ken kissed him firmly, slipping his own tongue into Daisuke's mouth. He pinned his new lover to the grass, roving his hands around the other tennager's body. When they broke, Daisuke was panting heavily. "All right; better than the goggles...but just barely." Ken laughed, and allowed himself to be pinned to the ground by Daisuke's own attack. The laughter and occasional silences in the clearing continued for some time, after which the two stumbled back out to join the others.

Yeah, I hoped you liked this. I like writing it, so it doesn't really matter to me. But I would like feedback. Even if you didn't like it.
