Impossible Love: Chapter 3
Ken was curled up in bed. Half awake, half-asleep. He found himself being tossed up and down. He looked up to see the cute bug like Digimon bouncing up and down on the bed.
"Wormmon, what are you doing?" asked Ken yawning loudly.
"It's 10:00am Ken, time to get up!" cried the little Digimon.
Ken ignored him and turned back over.
Wormmon frowned. "This is very unlike you Ken. You use to get up really early, being prepared for a hard day of work, ahead. You know what they say, Early to bed, early to rise."
"Sorry Wormmon, I'm just a little tired."
"You mean, you didn't sleep well again?"
Ken nodded. Knowing that his Digimon would ask a bundle of questions, he slipped his slippers on and got up.
"You always seem to have trouble getting to sleep now. Maybe it's a medical problem. You should see a doctor."
Ken shook his head. "Its nothing like that."
"Could it be something from the Digital world causing this to happen."
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"I'd rather not talk about it."
Wormmon nodded and left it at that.
Ken walked into the kitchen and poured out some cereal into a bowl. It wasn't for himself, but for Wormmon. Surprisingly enough, the little Digimon seemed to enjoy cereal, especially lucky charms. For the past few weeks, Ken seemed to be loosing his appetite. He smiled slightly as he watched his Digimon scoff down the cereal. His parents were away on holiday so he had the house to himself for a week. His parents knew he was a mature and a responsible enough kid to look after the house, but they seemed very worried about him. He seemed alone and very depressed lately, but Ken told them he was fine and to go and enjoy their trip.
Ken went into the bathroom to get ready. He frowned as he looked at himself in the mirror. He looked so pale and bold dark rings circled under his eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept for weeks, which in a way was true. He was startled as the phone in the living room rang.
"I'll get it!" cried Worrmon.
"Ok…" he replied quietly.
Wormmon was very keen on answering the phone, the only problem was how was Ken going to explain the strange voice if his parents were the ones who called.
"Ken its Daisuke!"
Ken's eyes widened. "Dai-chan!" Ken quickly ran out of the bathroom. He accidentally tripped and knocked his knee off the coffee table. "Oww!" cried Ken before picking up the phone.
"Hell-hello…"
"Hi Ken, its Daisuke."
"I know. I ur mean…Wormmon just told me."
"What was that loud bang?"
"There was no loud bang…"
"Oh."
"Just the television." Ken felt his face turn from pale too red. He couldn't even manage to stay something without stuttering or sounding nervous. Luckily Daisuke didn't seem to notice.
"I was wondering if you'd like to do something today."
Ken felt his heart leap. It had been such a long time since he had seen his friend. "I'd love too!"
Daisuke laughed. "Ok."
Ken felt even more embarrassed. "Why did I have to say something like? I sounded like some dumb high school girl being asked on a date by the most popular guy in school."
"So do you wanna get the train over to Odaiba?"
"Yeah."
"Is it all right with you're parents?"
"They're not here right now, they're away on a trip. They'd be fine with it anyway."
"Wow Ken, you're so lucky!"
"My parents would never let me stay alone while they went away. Even with Jun, around they still don't trust me in the house without them. Its like they think I'm to immature and not responsible enough to be left alone."
Ken chuckled into himself. Daisuke was known to cause trouble. Ken remembered how he had managed to break his window five times while playing soccer in his room. And once he had blown up the kitchen by trying to melt army men figures in the microwave.
"Hey maybe, one night while you're parents are away, I could come and stay with you."
"Uhhh…sure that would be great." That was a thought Ken liked, but feared. With Daisuke going to sleep in the same room as him, he knew he would never get any sleep. He'd also be embarrassed about the thoughts he would have with Daisuke there.
"I'll meet you at the train station in about two hours then?"
"Yeah. I'm just going to get ready now."
"Usually you're up really early Ken. So you couldn't sleep?"
Ken sighed. "No…" Ken wanted to tell Daisuke it was because of him, but couldn't bring himself to.
"Me either." replied Daisuke. "Well I'll see you soon. Ja ne!"
"Goodbye, Dai-chan." replied Ken, slowly putting the phone down.
Ken sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Ken jumped, but calmed down once he saw it was Wormmon. "Oh nothing. Nothing's wrong."
"Aren't you happy to be seeing Daisuke?"
"Of course I am."
Wormmon could see Ken's face turn pale again.
Ken rushed into the bathroom. He didn't want to be late in case he missed a train. He looked into the mirror again and frowned. Usually he wasn't bothered by the way he looked, but he didn't want Daisuke to see him like this. He opened a cupboard underneath the bathroom sink and took out a makeup bag. It was his mothers old one. She didn't really wear much makeup so most of the stuff in it wasn't used. He took out some concealer to make himself not look so pale. He felt very embarrassed by the thought of putting it on, but he didn't want to go out looking like shit while spending time with his secret crush.
He quickly got dressed, trying to find something suitable to wear. Once he had he grapped his backpack and some money. "How do I look Wormmon? Is this all right to wear or should I change?"
"I think you look fine Ken. Why are you so worried about how you look today anyway?"
"Oh no reason."
"You've been acting nervous all morning, before and even more since Daisuke phoned you."
"Oh…" was all Ken could say. He couldn't come up with a good explanation without admitting his feelings about Daisuke to Wormmon.
Blushing, Ken quickly opened his backpack. "Are you coming with me, Wormmon?"
"No Ken you go ahead."
Ken nodded nervously and walked over to the door. "I'll be gone for a couple of hours. I'll bring you something to eat back home. You sure, you don't mind being left here alone."
"No don't worry."
Ken turned the doorknob, when suddenly his partner spoke out.
"Ken, don't be afraid to tell Daisuke the truth."
Ken quickly turned around, but Wormmon had already returned to his room. He slowly walked out and locked the door.
