"Oh, I REALLY shouldn't have looked at these, but why would Dai-chan draw Ken like that?

Taichi thought it best to put the pictures away where he found them. He turned back to Miyako and Koushiro on the couch. Getting up, he grabbed the blanket from the ground and placed it over the two.

Koushiro stirred and snuggled closer to Miyako. He opened one eye a crack.

"Thanks." Koushiro stated in a sleepy tone.

Taichi just smiled. He walked over to the other couch and turned off the light before making himself comfortable.

~~~

Ken woke up with Daisuke's arms around him. He smiled as he turned around to look at him. Daisuke didn't look very happy. He reached out and felt his temperature. It was a little high. Daisuke woke up and looked at Ken.

"How do you feel?" Ken asked calmly.

Daisuke took his hands off Ken with a little blush that was covered up nicely by the already red coloring in his checks.

"Oh.... Daisuke mumbled. Not so good. Blah, I feel like shit!" Daisuke said looking at Ken sideways. "Um...Ken-kun? Why are you in my bed?" he asked.

Ken truly didn't have an answer to that. He looked around.

"You know...I've got no idea? I just sorta woke up and I was here..." Ken said slowly.

Daisuke felt too crappy to ask any more question. He relaxed into his pillow and groaned.

Ken stroked Daisuke's hair.

"Just hold in there, Motomiya-kun. You'll be better before you know it."

Daisuke smiled and without opening his eyes he draped his arms around Ken once again. He snuggled into him.

"I'm cold," Daisuke mumbled into Ken's chest. "You're warm. You do the math."

Ken giggled, then waited until Daisuke was asleep before getting out of bed. He let his hands linger in Daisuke's soft hair before leaving the room. Ken walked down the hall and into the kitchen. He laughed at Taichi sprawled out on the floor. His legs were still on top of the couch and only one foot had a sock.

Ken looked to Miyako on the couch. She was awake, but Koushiro was not. She waved with her fingers at Ken. Ken winked in response to that as he quietly set off to cook breakfast for everyone. He sang to himself as he grabbed the eggs out of the fridge. The smell soon got to Taichi and he opened his eyes.

"Good morning Taichi-san," Ken said in a happy tone.

Taichi nodded his head and waved as he groaned and rolled over onto the floor. Ken heard Taichi mumble some stuff about how he got onto to the floor, but Ken was focusing on the happy feeling in his stomach. He grinned remembering how nice it was waking up with Daisuke's strong arms around him. Ken sighed and an arm wrapped itself around his shoulders.

"And what, may I aske, are you so happy about?" Miyako's sweet voice said in his ear. Ken grabbed her hand.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that I woke up this morning to Daisuke's arms around me.

Miyako giggled.

"Did something happen last night?" she asked. Ken shook his head.

"No, not really, but my brain doesn't seem to know that yet." He put his finger to his lips. "Shhh, I haven't told it yet." Ken giggled, as did Miyako as she stepped away and went back to Koushiro.

Daisuke rolled in his bed, uncomfortable due to his illness. He opened his eyes with a frown as he looked around his room. He was upset that Ken wasn't in his room any more, but he swung his legs over his bed anyway. He dug through his hair with his hands and gave a groan. He got to his feet and almost instantly felt a wave of weakness and fell backwards with a loud thump. He swore as his head and left shoulder hit his dresser. Ken came running in.

"Daisuke!" he yelped as he landed on his knees beside Daisuke. "What happened? You OK?" Ken asked.

Daisuke held his head.

"Mh! Yeah, I'm just a little weaker than I'm used to is all. I just stood up too fast. I'm OK."

Ken reached out his hand and placed it on Daisuke's shoulder helping him up. Daisuke screeched as pain shot into his shoulder and neck.

"AH! My shoulder!" he yelped as Ken instantly placed him back down on the floor.

"What?"

"My shoulder. I must have...ah...pulled it...AH!" Daisuke shut his eyes tight and whimpered.

Ken placed his hands on Daisuke's shoulder and started to rub. Daisuke leaned on his friend as the pain slowly sank back into his body.

"Oh, thank you." Daisuke voiced.

"Is it working?" Ken asked.

Daisuke nodded his head slowly so as not to hurt his shoulder more. He turned after a few seconds of this, now face to face with Ken on the floor.
Ken stopped what he was doing and looked into Daisuke's eyes.

"Dai?" Ken asked in a whisper.

Daisuke said nothing. He just leaned in slowly and shut his eyes. Ken knew what was coming and did the same. They could almost feel each other's soft lips, when the door came flying open. They jerked away fast with a jump, Daisuke re-hurting his shoulder. Miyako stood at the door.

"Break...fast..." she said as her face went beet-red. Ken went back to rubbing Daisuke shoulder and nodded.


"Um...hai, both of the boys said as they got off the floor. Ken helped Daisuke down the hall and to the table.

Daisuke got a nice little surprise when he walked into the kitchen.

"Ohio," chimed Koushiro and Taichi.

"Ohio...what are you guys doing here?" Daisuke asked. Taichi and Koushiro smiled.

"We came over last night when you were sleeping to see if you wanted to have a snow ball fight or something, but Ken came out instead. It was...um...getting to cold so we came in." Taichi explained. Ken, now remembering what had happened the night before, was thankful that Taichi had left out the fainting part.

"Then we just sorta fell asleep."

Daisuke nodded and let his head fall to the table with a loud thump as he groaned. Miyako hugged him.

"Aw, poor Daisuke-chan."

"What's going on outside?" Daisuke asked still face first on the table. Ken looked out the window.

"Oh my, God! That's a LOT of snow!" he said as the others left Daisuke at the table and took a look for themselves.

"Looks like they cleared all the paths and stuff, but it's still snowing," Ken said to Daisuke.

"Mh..." Daisuke got out.

Ken frowned and walked back to Daisuke. Putting his hand on his shoulder he gave a little rub.

"I'm sure you'll be better before the snow goes away. I'll go out with you and everything. We'll make a snow man. OK?" Ken asked.

Daisuke smiled, unseen by his best friend. He reached up and grabbed Ken's hand which rested on his shoulder.

"Sounds good, Ken-kun...sounds good," he said with a small, sick sounding voice.

Everyone in the room had looks of sympathy for their good friend and Ken gave Daisuke's hand a little tug before letting go and grabbing a plate of food.

"Here Daisuke-chan, eat this. Then I need to take your temp and it's off to bed with you."

Daisuke half-smiled and began to eat the food. Ken soon joined him and the rest did as well. Just as they were all finishing up, a loud screaming alarm went off. They all covered their ears and gave a scream of their own.

"DAISUKE! What is that?" Ken asked over the loud sound.

Daisuke's eyes were wide and he tried to stand up, but fell back to his seat.

"Get up! It's the fire alarm! Get up!" Daisuke told them. The group got to their feet and went to the door. Ken helped Daisuke to his feet with a worried expression, looking from the door to Daisuke's sick face.

"Daisuke! You can't go out there! It's too dangerous! You're just too sick!" Ken said, knowing he didn't really having a choice.

Miyako looked back at the boys. Without saying a word she ran and ripped the blanket from Daisuke's bed. She came running out of his room and wrapped him up in it.

"Ken! Put him on your back and let's get out! I know it dangerous, but we can't get burnt alive either. Lets get out of here!"

Ken nodded, wishing with all his heart this wasn't happening. He let go of Daisuke and knelt down on the floor.

"Daisuke! Get on!" Ken yelled over the screaming alarm. Daisuke nodded and climbed on his back. Ken stood up with Miyako by his side and fallowed Taichi and Koushiro who were holding the two digimon. They all ran down the stairs as fast as they could.

Just as they were reaching the bottom they noticed the thick smoke coming from a room on the main floor. It didn't look like anyone was in there any more, and as they ran past it they could feel the heat as some of the flames came flicking out of the door.

Ken began to cough and gasp as the smoke became a little too much for him.
They all burst into the cold snowing day as they came out of the apartment.
Ken, still coughing, fell down into the deep powder exhausted from over-exerting himself. He would have been tired enough without another person on his back.

"Daisuke, I can't get up," Ken cried as he pushed against Daisuke's weight on his back.

"Sorry, Ken-chan," Daisuke said sounding REALLY out of it.

Taichi bent down and grabbed Daisuke out of the snow. He held him up and to his chest. Ken was pulled up with the help of Miyako and Koushiro.
They all turned to the building in shock as more and more smoke came out of the door. Luckily the firemen had already shown up and the group watched the men run in and BLAST the burning apartment with water.


Daisuke began to shiver and twitch against Taichi's chest.

"Wow," Taichi said looking down. "Daisuke?" Ken ran over to him.

"Shit!" Ken voiced as he took off his coat and put it around Daisuke. Ken covered up his head so that only Daisuke's rosy face was showing. Almost instantly Ken began to shiver as the still falling snow sank onto his skin and seemed to settle in his bones.

"Haaa..." Ken said shutting his eyes and wrapping his arms around himself.
Daisuke looked at Ken with worry on his face. He opened the blanket and wrapped it around the both of them. Looking back to his apartment he murmured,

"Everything's going to be OK, right?" Ken hugged him closer.

"Don't you worry about a thing, Motomiya-chan. It's going to be just fine," Ken stated without a hint of worry in his voice, even though in his mind he didn't know.

Daisuke swallowed hard.

"I promise..." Ken said again. He pressed his face onto Daisuke's and whispered in his ear.

"Shh...it will be just fine..."
