Because you know I'll be there
"Ken
honey, there's someone to see you," his mother said after softly knocking on
the door.
When
there was no answer, the door opened slowly and softly. "Ken you in here?"
Davis asked squinting at the sudden darkness.
"Close
the door Davis." The auburn haired Keeper of Courage and Friendship did as he
was told after Demiveemon had followed him in.
"Why's
it so dark?" he asked, searching for the light switch. "Hey where's the
switch?"
"I
like it this way, leave it alone," came Ken's curt reply.
"But
Ken, how can you see in here?" Davis argued.
"I
can see just fine thank you," the indigo haired boy spat, shocking the other.
Demiveemon backed away, thinking that Ken had gone back to being the Digiomon
Emperor. "Why are you here, Davis?"
"I
thought you'd like to come to a Halloween party at our school," he said, glad
for once that it was too dark to see. He could feel the blood rushing to his
cheeks.
"Why
even bother? The others will just yell at you for inviting me." Ken was so sure
that the other Digidestined would rather forget about him than socializing with
their former enemy.
"Yeah
so?" Davis retorted, "They always yell at me. So it doesn't matter."
"You're
wrong! It does matter! I tried to kill you all. I hurt all those digimon!"
"Oh
for crying out loud, Ken! Get over it already!" Davis said exasperated. "So you
screwed up big time. It happens to all of us. Ask my sister she'll tell you I
do it all the time. You've got a chance to make things better now so don't
screw this up!"
Ken
stared at the Keeper of Courage and Friendship. No one had ever spoken to him
like that, not even in the Digital World. "Davis I…"
"No
excuses, Ken. You're going to that party even if I have to tie you up and drag
you there myself."
The
Keeper of Kindness laughed. It was a genuine one, not the evil maniacal one he
had as the Digimon Emperor. It the light had been on, they would have seen that
the indigo haired boy was smiling, the smile mirrored in his eyes. "All right,
all right. I'll go, but I don't have a costume."
"Sure
you do," Demiveemon said, choosing then to speak up.
"Eh?!"
Ken queried.
"You
can wear that stuff you used to when you were the Digimon Emperor," the little
blue digimon offered, not realizing he'd just put his foot in his mouth.
Ken
froze, too shocked and stunned to do or say anything. That was the last thing
he wanted to hear. He swore that he'd distance himself from everything that was
associated with the evil tyrant of the Digital World and that outfit was
definitely one of them.
"Nice
going, bud," Davis said angrily, "I don't think Ken wants to be reminded of
that now."
"Um…
gomen?" Demiveemon said, hanging his head.
"You
can borrow one of my sister's old ones. She's got some boy costumes stashed in
her closet somewhere," the current Digidestined leader suggested, eager to
change the subject.
"Why
are you being so nice to me?" Ken asked looking out of the window again.
"Because."
Davis began to blush again. "Because I like you."
"You
didn't before," Ken replied, "why the sudden change?"
"That's
not what I meant!" the auburn haired boy said.
"Oh?"
Ken turned to face the other boy, his curiosity piqued.
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them
show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
"What
I meant to say was that you're a great guy, Ken. You're smart and a great
soccer player. And well…" Davis could swear that he felt so hot that you could
probably fry an egg on his face. "I like you, Ken." He sneaked a peek at
a mirror nearby, certain that his face was red enough to be glowing. It wasn't
glowing but it was beet red now. 'Good thing it's pretty dark in here,' he
thought.
Ken
was stunned. Davis was in love with him?! He would've pinched himself to see if
he were dreaming, but was once again unable to move. "Davis if this is some
sick joke…" he began, unused to having a former enemy and rival confess their
love for him.
"I'm
not kidding you," the auburn haired boy interrupted. "I've liked you since the
soccer match. I just – just couldn't tell you till now."
"Davis…"
He didn't know what to say. All the humans he ever cared for had died and never
came back.
"Dammit,
Ken! Stop being such a stick in the mud!" The Keeper of Courage and Friendship
proved himself worthy of the two Digimentals; he crossed the gap between them
and kissed the indigo haired Keeper of Kindness.
Ken
gasped in surprise causing the kiss to be deepened. Certain that Ken didn't
feel the same as he did, Davis tried to back away only to have the slender boy
hold onto him tighter as he slowly and shyly began to return the kiss.
"K-Ken?"
Davis asked after regaining the ability to speak as his wits. He blinked as the
light came on suddenly, a small non-threatening smirk was on Ken's face.
"When's that party?" the Keeper of Kindness asked.
Davis
smiled in return, knowing that he succeeded in freeing his friend and now love
from his depression. "I-I love you, Ken," he stammered blushing.
Ken
blushed as well. "I love you too, Davis. Thank you."
"We-we'd
better get going if you wanna make the party on time," the Digidestined leader
said, pulling Ken out the room after him. The two digimon looked after them
smiling.
"It's
about time they got together," Demiveemon quipped.
Minomon
smiled, relieved that Ken had been saved. "I'm glad Ken found someone like
Davis," the little green and brown digimon added, "He's been so lonely."
They
then followed after their partners, hoping to get a share of their stash of
trick or treating candy.
