Stuck in a Moment
Author's Note: It's Takari...and Daikari. Hard to explain. Just READ. It's from Daisuke's POV. And yes it's named after the U2 song, although it's not really a songfic. I did put the lyrics to Stuck in a Moment at the end, though. Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: Do I own Digimon? Is Yamato paired with Taichi at the end of 02? Has Hikari confessed her undying devotion to Daisuke? Is Bono madly in love with me? *evil grin* Obviously...no. Except for the last one. ^_~ Digimon is owned by...other people. Like Akiyoshi Hongo, Toei, Bandai, ect.
Life's not fair. That's what everyone says. Well you know what? They're right.
Let me explain. My name is Motomiya Daisuke, her name is Yagami Hikari. I'm hot, stylish, funny, kind, courageous...and she...she's beautiful, sweet, stylish, witty, intelligent, cheerful, apprehensive, and, well...perfect. So, you'd think we'd make a natural match, right? I mean, I'm hot, she's hot. I'm stylish, she's stylish. I'm witty, she's witty. I'm kind, she's kind. I'm cheerful, she's cheerful. You get the idea. Perfect match.
Almost.
My name is Motomiya Daisuke, her name is Yagami Hikari.
And his name is Takaishi Takeru.
Takeru. He happens to be perfect. Yeah, I know, you thought I was perfect, but I'm serious about this guy! He's good at everything! Including stealing my girl.
Okay, maybe I'm being to posessive. And maybe I'm bragging...a little. But if you were in my shoes, you'd totally understand how I feel! How it feels to have everything in the world...and lose it.
It happened when I was eleven. I'm thirteen, by the way. And it really did happen. If I tell anybody, they just laugh. They don't believe me. Then again, not many people believe anything I say...
~~~Flashback~~~
"Hey Daisuke, how are you?"
"I'm fine...listen, Hikari, I kinda wanna tell you something."
"......is something wrong?"
"No! It's actually...er...well, we've known each other a long time, since we were nine, and...I really like you."
"I really like you too, Daisuke. You're one of my best friends."
"Thanks Hikari...but...I mean I really like you. As in...well..."
"...Oh! You mean as in...boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Well, kinda, sorta, not exactly...yeah. I do."
"Wow, I didn't see that coming..."
"Please don't hate me..."
"I don't hate you Daisuke! In fact..."
~~~Present~~~
And then she kissed me. On the cheek, of course. But she kissed me. She accepted me. She loved me. How come no one believes me? How come no one understands? She and I were together, we were in heaven...
...then, on the first day of school, he came.
Takaishi Takeru.
Hikari greeted him like an old friend! Who the hell was he!? I'd never seen him before. And then he started flirting with her! Flirting with my girlfriend. So, of course, I asked him who he thought he was. Or rather, I asked him how he knew Hikari. The scene went something like...
"Hey, you! Buddy!"
"His name is not buddy. His name is Takeru."
Okay, that was my first mistake. I guess I looked pretty mad when I ran up to them. But I just got even more angry, because Hikari seemed pretty defensive towards him. So, of course, I wanted to know who that "stupid guy" was.
"Whatever! How do you know Hikari!?"
"Huh? How do I know her? Oh, I get it, you're jealous!"
"Rrrr, I'm not jealous of anybody!!!"
That little prick. You know what he did? He laughed. I asked him a simple question, and the stupid guy didn't even answer it! He just laughed! That's when I knew...I truly hated him. I had been furious when I saw him with Hikari, but I thought maybe it wouldn't be a big deal, that maybe he wasn't trying to interfere with our relationship. But when, instead of answering my question, he just laughed...that's when I knew. My hopes were shattered. He was my rival, my enemy. He stuck his nose up to me the first time I talked to him, and I'll never forget it.
So, after being so mean, you'd think Hikari would stop hanging out with him, right? Not the case. In fact, she hung out with him more! That was about when our adventure in the Digital World started. More on that later. But she flirted with him and agreed with every word that came out of his mouth! Meanwhile, my girlfriend, who just a month earlier had kissed me, was now ignoring me! Heck, when I made advances on her, trying to get our relationship back together, she got angry!!!
I didn't understand. We had been dating for a whole month, and every time we were together I thought we got closer and closer. Why did she suddenly ignore me and flirt with Takeru? Was she playing some weird game?
At first, I thought it was a game. Then, I began to wonder...and then it began to dawn on me. I tried to pretend I didn't notice, that it was still all a game...but it was no use. It was obvious. She liked Takeru.
The same way I liked her.
Everyone thinks I'm too possessive of Hikari, that I need to give her a break, that I need to be nice to Takeru, blah blah blah. But people don't realize...I love her. It's not just because she's pretty (although she is VERY pretty!!!). It's because of...her. I love her with all of my heart, and for a precious month, she loved me back.
Before him.
I guess...I guess it's just destiny. I guess Takeru and Hikari were meant for each other. I guess dumb old Daisuke was just in the way. However...she did love me, and nothing can change that. Nothing.
I can see them now, in the distance. They're holding hands, laughing about something. Possibly me. Most likely, something else. I guess...they look good together. Two angels in heaven. Hope and light. Ask anyone, they'll agree. And if anyone put me in Takeru's place, they'd laugh.
They don't understand. I'm possessive. But she was my girl. We were together. I'm a jerk to Takeru. But he was a jerk first. Anyway, hard as it, I've come to accept him as a friend. But it's hard to, because I look at him, Mister Perfect, and realize that he's the reason I'm not with Hikari. If he never would have moved here...would things be different? Would Hikari still love me, cherish me, appreciate me? Would we always be together? Sometimes I wonder...
But wondering doesn't get you anywhere, not in this life. Neither does living in the past. It just gets you stuck in a moment...and then you can't get out of it. Then again, is that all bad?
Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of by U2
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I havem't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going no where, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
That left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
You are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You got yourself stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I was unconsious, half asleep
The water is warm until you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping...for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along this stony path
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along this stony path
It's just a moment
This time will pass
