Author's Note: Since this takes place after the ending of 02, everyone will have Digimon partners. I know I didn't mention that before, but they weren't going to be in the story originally. Cody's mother is named Kajuen (Orchard in Japanese) and his grandfather is Kashi (Oak) is in this fic. Got that? And this is in the continuity of my old, OLD fic Found, so Joe and Yama are a couple here.
Okay then -- let's begin!
It was mid-afternoon, and Ken and Davis were on their way to Cody's apartment for a Digidestined meeting. They were walking along in companionable silence, Davis drinking a soda and Ken drinking bottled tea they had bought from a grocery store on the way.
Ken hung his head, looking down at the street. What was wrong with him? Of all people...
He had been through this a million times already, but it still didn't seem to make any sense. Maybe Davis would understand. After all, he was his best friend and DNA digivolving partner. Might as well talk, right?
"So, Davis..." whispered Ken.
Davis turned his attention to the raven-haired boy.
"Yeah, Ken?" he asked him.
Ken sighed, thinking over what he was going to say. He took a sip of his tea nervously.
Davis frowned, then began waving his hand in front of Ken's face.
"Eeeeaarrrttthhh to Keeennn..." sang Davis. Ken waved Davis's hand away, irritated.
"I was just wondering...how did you know you liked Yolei?" Ken said softly.
Davis stepped back, suprised by the question.
"Why?" he asked.
Ken blushed. "Well, I...um...think I like someone, that's all." he muttered, completely embarrassed.
Davis laughed and draped his arm over Ken's shoulder. "Well, you must tell all our friends about this lovely girl!" he declared, dragging a protesting Ken over to Cody's apartment.
-----------------
"Ah! Sushi!" yelled Armadillomon, jumping out onto counter where Cody's mother was preparing said delicacy.
"Armadillomon! That's for later!" muttered Cody angrily, running after his digimon.
Cody's mother chuckled and her son and his friend.
"It's all right Cody, I'm making this sushi for the four of us anyway." she told the small boy. "So Armadillo can have one piece." she continued, then looked at the armadillo digimon.
"Just one, Armadillomon." she warned. The yellow digimon pouted.
"Kajuen, how come he gets some but I don't?" asked the woman's digimon -- an inquisitive and sometimes annoying female Tsunomon.
"Oh, I suppose it's all right if you have one." said Kajuen resignedly.
"Would you like one, Cody?" she asked her son. He was about to answer when there was a knocking at the door. They looked at each other, then Cody went off to go get the door, leaving his mother with the snacking digimon whom had most certainly eaten more than just one piece of sushi each.
Cody opened the door and came to face-to-face with Davis and Ken, who he had in an armgrip. Cody blinked. "Are you sure that's safe?" he asked Davis. Davis nodded.
"Well, it's the safest way I can keep Ken from running away because he doesn't want to tell us the girl he likes." Davis explained.
Cody blinked a few more times. "Okay..."
"Hello, Cody." Ken said sheepishly as Davis dragged him in. "Hello Mrs. Hida."
Davis frowned as he looked around. "Where is everyone else, Cody?" he demanded.
"You're the first ones here, Davis." Mrs. Hida told the impatient redhead. "Oh..." Davis said.
"Wormmon! Veemon!" Armadillomon and Mrs. Hida's Tsunomon abandoned the sushi and went over to see their friends. Just then there was another knock at the door, and Davis ran to open it.
"Hey, Davis!" Kari said. Behind her were TK and Yolei, with Gatomon, Hawkmon and Patamon. They all walked inside the comfortable Hida home.
Kashi Hida emerged from his own room to greet the children. "Hello all." he said.
"Kari, you're still coming over for kendo lessons tomorrow, correct?" Kashi asked. Kari nodded.
"Yes, sensei." Kashi smiled. "Well, would you be adverse to dueling with Cody that day?"
Kari looked over in surprise at her young companion. She'd been practicing kendo for only a few months, in contrast to Cody's several years. Surely sensei didn't think they could duel! But still...
"What do you think, Cody?" the child of light asked the responsible boy. Cody blushed.
"I guess that'd be okay..." Cody muttered. "Cool!" Davis and Yolei suddenly crowed.
"I've wanted to see you duel for the longest time, Kari." Yolei explained. "It'll be a real treat."
Kari laughed. "Oh, I don't think so. I'm not very good, like Cody is."
"Don't underestimate yourself, Miss Kamiya." Kashi firmly instructed his pupil. He left to go eat.
-----------------
Some time later in Cody's room, everyone was busy chatting about Kari and Cody's upcoming duel and in general having a good time. Davis and Yolei were sitting together, which led to a lot of teasing from TK. TK kept pushing the line every now and then and had only been spared Yolei's wrath due to who his best "friend" was. Yes, they were using the classic "just good friends" approach. Kari irritatedly grabbed TK's hand and pulled him away from Davis and Yolei.
"What?" TK asked the angry brunette. Kari shot him a Look.
"You leave those two alone, TK." Kari instructed him. TK gave Kari the infamous puppy eyes.
"But then I'll only have Cody and Ken to tease, and that's no fun. They're just friends." TK pleaded.
"Yeah, but you should really should give Davis and Yolei a break. No wonder they didn't say anything with you around..." Kari scolded the blonde as shook her head good-naturedly.
Kari found the oddest thought coming to her though, as she watched Ken and Cody talk on Cody's bed. Furiously, Kari shook her head. Sure she knew that guys liked guys long before Matt and Joe had become a couple, but...Ken and Cody were just friends. Just like TK said.
Right?
