A few years after the Digital World, all is well. And romance is in the air! Yippee! Daiken, and hints of Hiyako, Taito, whatever you call Takeru/Iori and Mira.
"Uh, Ken, I was wondering if you and I, could, uh, go to a movie or-" Daisuke slammed his fist onto the table. "That sounds dumb. Um, let's see. Ken, would you like to go to the theater this weekend? My treat? No!" Daisuke slapped his forehead. "You're a leader, and you can't ask a guy on a date?" Burying his head in him arms, he felt a small hand touch his head. "Daisuke, it's all right. Just ask him. The worst he can say is no." Daisuke smiled somewhat sadly at his partner. "That's what I'm scared of." Demiveemon handed him the phone. "Just call him." Daisuke sighed, and dialed Ken's house.
"Ken! Phone's for you! It's Daisuke!" Ken snapped off the television, smiling. "I'm coming!" Taking the phone from his mother, he said, "Daisuke, what's up? Is there something wrong with the Digital World?"
"No, there's just something I wanted to ask you." Daisuke, on the other side of the line, took a deep breath. "Would-you-like-to-come-to-the-movies-with-me-tomorrow-since-we're-going-on-a-trip-the-day-after-I'll-pay."
"What?"
Daisuke deflated. "That's okay, I don't mind."
"No, I mean, I didn't understand you. What did you say?"
"It-it wasn't anything important. See you."
Ken stood listening to the dial tone. "Well, then why bother calling me!" He slammed the phone down. This isn't fair. He gets me all excited and then hangs up on me! Wait, what was I so excited about, anyway?
The Chosen Children were meeting in front of the school, ready to leave for the trip to the mountains. "This is going to be great! Everyone together!" Hikari hugged Miyako tightly around the waist. "Right, Miyako?" The other girl nodded, and waved at Ken, Taichi, and Yamato. "Great, everybody's here!" Hikari counted heads. "Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Mimi, Miyako, Ken, Iori, Takeru, and Daisuke. And me, of course." Sora and Mimi were trying to force Mimi's over-stuffed bag into the luggage hold of the RV. "Mimi-chan, what were you thinking, packing all this?"
"I guess I *could* leave behind a few down jackets." Sora almost fainted. "Sora-chan?" "Mimi, you brought more than *one* down jacket?"
"Five." Smiling, Hikari ran to help Sora stuff the suitcase away before she throttled her lover.
"Are we there yet?"
"Do you see a hotel, Daisuke?"
"No."
Iori rolled his eyes. "Then we're not there yet, so be quiet and stop asking!" Even usually quiet Iori was sick of the RV. Daisuke turned to look at Ken, beautiful Ken, who was watching the snowfall. Stop thinking about that you hentai or you'll rip a hole in these new jeans. Geez. He looked up into Taichi's brown eyes. "Mooning over Ken, ne, Dai?"
"No, of course not…yeah." Taichi threw an arm around his shoulders. "Taichi, he's so-" "Perfect, I know. But he doesn't. Just tell him, for crying out loud. You don't have to be scared to tell him how you feel. If you like," Taichi grinned, "I can 'arrange' for the two of you to be alone tonight." A little smile light up Daisuke's face. "I'll take that as a yes."
What was I thinking? Now, I'm stuck in this room, alone with him until morning. He's out there in nothing but pajama bottoms, in the one bed, looking sexy. Why didn't I pack something other than *shorts* to sleep in? I could have at least brought a *shirt* or something. All right, I can't exactly sleep in the tub. Just go out and go to sleep.
Daisuke left the bathroom, watching a sleeping Ken out of the corner of his eye. Damn, he is *so* good looking…An idea struck him. Aha! Let's see him look sexy in the dark. He turned out the lights. There was only one problem. The moon shone light into the room. Damn!!! Okay, okay, let's be calm about this. Yeah, he has that silky navy blue hair, so? Jyou has blue hair too. Yeah, but his isn't soft and silky and it doesn't cup around his face-Argh! Okay, so he has blue eyes, what's the matter with you, never seen blue eyes before? Sapphire, sweet eyes…this isn't working! Daisuke stared at Ken, who was still fast asleep. Okay, I'll count to three, then I'll kiss him. One…Two…Three…you're not doing it…Daisuke rolled over, lay atop Ken and pressed their lips together. The eyes Daisuke obsessed over flew open. Uh-oh. The redhead rolled off. "Daisuke, did you just kiss me?"
"No…yeah. I'm-I'm sorry."
"Don't tell Miyako. We're-we're going out." Ken tried not to cry as he told this lie to the one who had trusted him the most. "I'm going to go sleep in Takeru and Iori's room. Night, Daisuke."
That's not the end. I'll continue it if anyone wants me too. Read and review, if you please. Otherwise poor Daisuke won't get to have any fun.
