Authors note: Nope, don't own them. And I'm stuck again...

Ken woke up. He looked at his two sleeping friends. He quietly got up and got dressed. Ken left the bedroom and went to the living room to pick up his computer from where he left it.

Ken stopped in his tracks when he saw Yamato sitting on the sofa. "Hello?"

"I know I came a day early. But I got a good deal on a plane ticket...So what's up?"

Ken studied Yamato closely. He wasn't sure if he knew everything but logically he would have looked for them and seen.....

"Things have changed since we left..."

"I noticed."

Daisuke wandered into the living room. "Hi," he said sleepily. "Just get in?" He sat down in a chair and pulled Ken into his lap. "Well, what are we going to do about dinner? I wasn't planning on cooking for four."

Ken looked carefully at Yamato. Yama-san was looking at them thoughtfully. Daisuke realized that Yamato was in the room. "Oh shit!"

"Why doesn't someone see if T.K.'s awake and we go out somewhere and you three can explain about all of this." Yamato looked at ken and Daisuke with a big brother type look.

Ken quickly got up and left the room. Daisuke stared at Yamato and tried to think of how to explain his relationship with his little brother, but he kept drawing a blank. He knew that he wanted to keep the relationships that he had with Ken and Takeru, but didn't think that Yamato would approve. He knew that people wanted him to choose, but he could not. It would leave a hole in him for to leave either one. Daisuke sighed and waited for Ken and T.K.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being awakened by Ken-chan wasn't unpleasant, but hearing that your big brother is here and he found out about your relationships with your two friends by walking in on you is very unpleasant.

I wasn't sure that I wanted to face Yama, but I knew that I didn't want to leave him alone with Dai-chan. I could just see everything that could go wrong. I got dressed as quickly as I could and went with Ken into the living room.

"Hi, Yama," Takeru looked at him nervously. "How was your trip?"

"It was fine. I think that we need to go somewhere to eat and then you three are going to explain what all of this is about."

All three boys nodded at Yamato nervously, and they left the apartment to go downstairs to the diner on the corner.
