Konpeitou : -blinkblink- wow… I didn't expect anyone to like this little ficlet so much.. o.o; And I really hadn't planned on making a sequel to it 'cause I thought it might detract from the story or something, but here's one anyway for those of you who want to read it.
-holds out some strawberry pocky for all the wonderful people who reviewed-
Japanese notes from Chapter One :
Gomen = Sorry
Daijoubu ka? = Are you all right? / Is it all right? (Damn those multiple meaning phrases anyway..)
Hai hai, daijoubu da = Yeah yeah, I'm fine
Wakatta = I understand / I know (Another multiple meaning.. used in non-formal past tense)
Baka = Idiot / Stupid
Boku wa totemo baka da yo = I'm really an idiot (along those lines.. totemo=very, yo=emphasis) (Uhm, does anyone know whether Daisuke uses Boku or Ore? o.O)
Sou da na = Oh, so that's it (basically)
Onegai = Please
Yamero = Stop (More of a command form here than request)
Jaa = Well then
Ne = (Pretty much used to incite agreement)
Okaa-san = Mother
Un = Yeah
Boku mo = Me too
Daisuki da = I really like (you) / I love (you)
Owari = The end
Wow.. more than I thought.. did I forget anything?

Daisuke shifted awkwardly in his sleep, being moved forcefully towards unwanted wakefulness but unable to figure out by what. Usually, when the auburn boy slept in on Sunday the morning light would spill through that annoying crack that all windows seem to have and shine directly onto his pillow; it was a rather unwelcome natural alarm. But now – though he couldn't quite think past the warm haze of oblivion to figure out why – it was another sense being teased. With some annoyance, Daisuke realized his nose itched.
No matter how he twitched or fidgeted, that feather-light tickling always seemed to follow him. Daisuke finally conceded defeat and pried his eyes open and prepared to find a hyper Chibimon disturbing his rest on the only day he was allowed to sleep in. After blinking his eyes repeatedly until his sight was more than indistinct blobs, he gasped as two sapphire orbs came sharply into focus. Daisuke barely managed to bite back the yelp that fought its way past his throat.
"Ohayo," Ken said quietly, and Daisuke could feel the breath against his cheek.
"O–" The brunette began to answer back, only to be interrupted by a sudden sneeze that made his whole body cringe and his ribs ache. Unfortunately, his body's reflex caused him to jerk forward and hit his head against his friend's; both boys yelped in pain and rubbed their foreheads. "Ohayo," Daisuke finished sheepishly.
Ken yawned and Daisuke wrinkled his nose in an attempt to hold back another sneeze as the silken blue hair shifted against his face lightly. "Mm, warm…" the boy murmured, eyes fluttering closed as he snuggled closer to his confused host.
Daisuke was quite painfully aware of the blush stinging his cheeks at the movement as well as the awareness that there were arms wrapped haphazardly around his waist. When Ken stopped squirming, Daisuke forced himself to start breathing again.
Baka da. Honto ni baka baka baka da ~! I never should have climbed off my bed last night, the goggle-boy mourned mentally, But stupid me, I just had to see what was going on, and Ken was… he said… He stopped and looked down at the boy curled sleeping against his chest.
"It's a good thing you're asleep right now or you'd probably kill me for this." Daisuke muttered, angling his head slightly to press a light kiss to the crown of soft hair. I'm such an idiot…
The body suddenly shifted and Daisuke tensed, panic arcing through his mind. "Who said I was asleep?" Ken whispered as he placed a return kiss gently on the shocked boy's jaw.
Not even thinking anymore, the smaller boy jerked back in surprise, staring wide-eyed and face-flushed. The arms around his kept him from going very far, a fact that made the blush deepen on his tanned skin. "What?! How… You… Why… I mean, I thought you were… GOMEN!!" Daisuke cried out, flustered.
"Why?" Ken asked, and there was an odd sparkle to his eyes that only served to make the boy-leader more nervous. There was also an odd twitch in the corner of his lips that looked to Daisuke that he was struggling not to smirk.
"I… thought you were asleep," he muttered lamely, looking away from the deep sea orbs of his best friend and secret crush. Suddenly, climbing off his bed in the middle of the night to sleep in the arms of the other boy didn't seem like such a good idea after all. This awkwardness didn't seem worth it anymore.
"I figured that," Ken chuckled, then scooted a little closer. "Himitsu ga wakaritai desu ka?" he asked. At the nervous nod, he moved closer until he was whispering in Daisuke's ear. "Daisuke ga daisuki desu."
Daisuke groaned as a shiver rolled along his body from the feel of warm breath on his ear, whispering words he had only dreamed of hearing. He can't mean what I hope he means, he can't possibly mean it that way. But then, he said before that.. and he kissed my neck and.. Iya! Can't jump to conclusions, he just… aa, kami-sama! "Boku mo, Ken. Kimi ga daisuki da yo." He whispered the words painfully, glad that the other boy couldn't see his face as he continued. "Shikashi, tomodachi yori, koibito ga daisuki da."
The blue-haired boy pulled away,
just like Daisuke expected him to after his confession, but instead of being
angry or disgusted there was a smile gracing his light lips. "Yokatta." He said simply before he climbed up to his
feet to stare down at the confused boy, offering his hand. "Because
I like you as more than a friend, too."
Daisuke gaped, unable to
really process the fact that not only did Ken not hate him, but also felt the same way; it was more than he had
ever expected and he still half-believed he was dreaming. Smirking also, the
auburn youth gripped the hand firmly and yanked, pulling the taller boy
off-balance so that he fell directly on top of him and wrapping an arm around
his back to keep him in place. The sting in his ribs threw the dream theory out
the window. "Honto ni?" Daisuke asked.
"Honto ni." Ken confirmed, nodding so that the tips of his hair brushed against the tanned cheeks.
"Honto ni, honto ni?"
Ken laughed. "Honto ni honto ni." Quickly, he swooped down and pressed a kiss on the cheek, delighting in the sudden blush his action caused.
The goggle-boy merely stared for a moment, bring his hand around to gently caress the fair skin of his cheek like it was spun glass. His fingers lightly brushed over the smiling lips. "May I?" he asked in a breathy whisper. At Ken's hesitant nod, Daisuke lifted his head off the pillow enough to press his lips against the those of the other boy in a lingering, chaste kiss.
"Oi! Gaki!" Jun yelled, throwing the door wide open. Both boys yelped and Ken scrambled away hastily. Jun eyed them strangely before shrugging, delivering the rest of her message. "Breakfast is ready, hurry up and get out here." she informed them, walking back out the door.
The two boys lay panting from shock for several moments before suddenly bursting into riots of raucous laughter. It was several minutes before either was able to control themselves again, and Daisuke climbed to his feet, still chuckling. "Na, iku zo," he smirked, holding out his hand to the other boy in the same way Ken had before.
"Un," Ken agreed, returning the smirk as he grasped the hand firmly and allowed himself to be pulled up. Another impatient call made its way through the door. The taller boy stepped closer and pressed another quick kiss to his friend's lips and gave the hand still clasped in his own a reassuring squeeze before stepping away again, tossing a smile over his shoulder as he left the room.
"Hai! Coming!" Daisuke called, answering yet another call from his sister. He grinned as he closed the door behind him, life seemingly suddenly that much brighter than before.
"Nee~, Daisukee~!" Chibimon moaned, rolling around on the bed and tangling himself in the blankets. "Hareheta yo ~!" Settling again, the little dejimon fell back into peaceful slumber.
Honto ni owari
本とに終わり

Konpeitou : And that.. was the requested sequel thingy. It's probably not as good since I just wrote it and hadn't really thought of it beforehand. Gomen ne, minna! ;_; Was I right? Did it detract from the story before?

Iya = No (Slang 'iie')
Aa, kami-sama = Oh god.
