Pen Pals
Part 2

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or any of it's bishies. And if I did do you really think I would have ended it the way it did? I don't think so! Just the thought of Sora and Matt together makes me cringe.
Warning: YAOI ALERT. That means boy/boy for any of you newbies. Not just boy/boy, but Daiken. My fav pairing. Also it's an Au. There are no Digimon and the younger digidestined are 15 and 16 accept for Iori.
Description: Daisuke and Ken are pen pales. Ken moves to Odaiba and a romance ensues

Ken's POV

"Ya gotta meet all of my friends," Daisuke bounced beside him as they headed toward the cafeteria. He had been able to wake the auburn hared boy before the teacher had caught his sleeping again. Now it seemed that Daisuke was absolutely bursting with energy. He had given him a tour of the school along with going all the way to the park during their spare. Amazingly they had mostly the same classes.

Brushing a few strands of indigo hair out of his eyes he followed as Daisuke tugged him towards a group of kids at a table.

"This is Miyako; she's the head of the computer club. Takeru and Hikari; their dating. And Iori; he's younger than the rest of us but really cool. We all hang out," Daisuke introduced them all in one breath. "Guys, this is Ken Ichijouji."

The lavender haired girls - Miyako, he reminded himself - eyes widened. "The Ken Ichijouji?" she asked. "You mean the Ken Ichijouji that you're always talking about. The one that you've never met. The one that's your pen pale. The one-"

"I think we've got the point," Takeru interrupted rolling his eyes. Miyako gave a grinned sheepishly.

Ken smiled almost shyly at them. He wasn't used to being the center of attention and Miyako was kept giving him these looks that made him feel like a prey being hunted by the predator. It was rather disconcerting. Daisuke had told him about Miyako's tendency to flirt with just about everyone in quite a few of his letters. He decided not to take the attention seriously. If she was anything like most of the girls that had found him appealing, she'd get the picture soon enough.

It wasn't that he didn't find her attractive. It was just he didn't go for girls. He found that most girls were all giggles and pretty pink dresses and those that weren't were either taken or weren't interested in the male population. From what he could tell Hikari was one of the girls who were perfect yet taken. But he didn't find the other girl attractive either. No. He had eyes only for Daisuke.

His parents knew about his preferences and had accepted it. He wasn't bi. He knew that he was gay. Plain and simple. Girls were good for friends but they didn't do anything for him sexually.

"It's a good thing you showed up," Hikari said, reminding him of the others presence's. "I've got some great news that you're going to love. Yamato and Taichi are coming to visit this weekend. Apparently they want a break away from college life. Though why is completely beyond me."

Ken watched as Daisuke's cheerful expression became ecstatic. He began jumping up and down and chanting "I'm gonna see Taichi. I'm gonna see Taichi" over and over. Ken looked over at Hikari, confused. Daisuke had mentioned Taichi in a few letters, but he didn't understand why the auburn haired teen would become so incredibly joyful because one man was coming to visit.

"Taichi's my older brother," she explained.. "I guess Dai looks up to him as an idol. Taichi was a major soccer star when we were still in grammar school. Dai's always wanted to be like him. Yamato's Takeru's big brother. They're going to the same college."

Ken nodded, now he understood Daisuke's reaction to the news. He had always looked up to his older brother Osamu, even after the older boy had passed away.

"Hey, Daisuke!" Takeru called to the bouncing boy. "Do us a favor and don't tell Jun. She'll be on Yama like a moth on a flame."

Ken quirked a brow. "I'm guessing Daisuke's sister has a thing for your brother." Daisuke had told him all about Jun's tendency to smother people.

"Her and the half of the Odaiba population that are female," Miyako said with a smirk. "And I don't blame them one bit. Yamato is one hot fellah."

Daisuke draped his arm around the girls shoulder eliciting an emotion in the pit of Ken's stomach that could only be described as jealousy. "Too bad for you that 'hot fellah' is already taken. Taichi is one lucky guy to have bagged that fish."

Ken's eyes widened slightly. "Did you just say that Takeru's brother and Hikari's brother are an item?"

Daisuke looked up at him, eyes glinting somewhat dangerously. "Yes. And if you've got a problem with that you can just kiss my ass."

Not a bad idea. It looks quite kissable... "Wait a minute. I didn't mean it like that. I don't have a problem with same sex relationships. In fact you might as well know since I'm going to be going to this school that I'm gay myself."

Everyone, including Daisuke, stopped what they were doing to stare at him, their mouths hanging wide open.

"D-did you just say you were gay?" Miyako asked, finally regaining some of her senses. Ken nodded. "Dammit! Why are the hot one either taken or gay? I'll never get a boyfriend at this rate!"

"Oh c'mon Miya," Daisuke said, looking incredibly hurt. "You know you'll always have me. I'll always love you." With that he tried to give the slightly taller girl a kiss while she screeched about being scared for life.

"Come off it, Motomiya," Takeru admonished, pulling the shorter boy off Miyako. "We all know that you're bi. Do don't go telling Miya that she'll always have you when your probably lusting after Ken at this very moment."

Daisuke stuck his tongue out at the blond, but the effect had been lost considering the fact that the boy had turned an interesting shade of red..

As he sat down Ken wondered if it was a 'how did you know' blush or and embarrassed blush. He hoped that it was the first. He had arrived at this school dreading the thought of having to socialize with new people. Now he was having a great time.

Before he knew it he had invited to the party that Takeru and Hikari were throwing for their siblings and the bell had rung, announcing the end of the lunch hour.

All in all the day had been good so far.

Shade: That wasn't so bad was it? I'm not very good at keeping things organized when I write a lot of dialogue. My damn muses went on Christmas vacation early, I did all of this one on my own. They were pretty annoying. I had to put up with Fei's justice rants and the sounds of Shini-chan and Heero doing the nasty. Not pretty.
