Disclaimers: I don't own Digimon; I'm simply using the characters for my and my muse's entertainment.

Sorry for not posting anything this past week. My ff.net account was locked because of my Taito story "Cookies" and it's been removed so... But I'm still alive and kicking!

Thanks Melissa for giving me the idea of a Takedaiken, although I did switch it up a little bit. ^_^

Please Come Back to Me by Yaoi Girl

Several hours later, around 1 in the morning, Takeru's azure eyes snapped open.

He was breathing long and heavily, his body covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"What's wrong?" Ken asked as he looked down at the blonde, having woke when he heard the uneven breathing.

Takeru closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and swallowed hard before he could make a sound. "Nothing. It was just a bad dream."

"Was it about Daisuke?"

A slight nod was the response.

Ken gently pushed his covers aside and climbed down from his bed, walking silently across the floor and sat next to Takeru's makeshift bed.

The blonde still hadn't opened his eyes, as he was deep in thought, but that soon changed when he felt a gentle hand cupping cheek.

He stared up at Ken with saddened eyes, not understanding what the violet-haired boy was trying to tell him.

With a slight smile, the bluenette answered the unspoken question. "If it hadn't been for this incident, I would've never known that you were in love with him. But now I do, and I know that I have to get over this crush…"

"Ken…"

Even though he was smiling, Ken was truly broken, and Takeru knew just how broken he was when tears started to slide freely down the other boy's face.

"I can't believe I never noticed it before. I mean, all this time Daisuke and I spend with you and I've never noticed, not even a hint, and I'm sorry. I really am, because for a while, I had a crush on both of you. But now, I only have a crush on you…"

Confused and not knowing what to say, Ken just stared down at him, his hand now in Takeru's as the boy had gently removed it from his cheek.

Sensing the boy's reactions, Takeru smiled up at him. "You know I love Daisuke, right?"

Ken nodded slowly, his eyes now concealed by his violet hair.

"But at the same time, I have a crush on you. It's like I can't leave you all by yourself, and I don't think Daisuke could either. But the only thing is, I don't know how he'll react to all of this…"

"So, you're going to tell him what you just told me, basically?" the ex-Kaizer asked softly.

Takeru nodded.

"Takeru…?"

"Hm?"

"Will you…may I…"

The blonde chuckled slightly before saying, "If you want to kiss me, Ken, go ahead. I'm not going to protest."

"But…I thought…"

"I told you, I'm not going to leave you out. I don't want you to feel lonely again; I don't want to see you like you were before. I want you to be happy, with me, if not Daisuke too."

Ken didn't move, however, so Takeru moved his free hand up and laced it in the soft hair at the base of the other's neck, gently pulling his head to his own, stopping just a mere inch apart.

"Do you want to be kissed?"

The bluenette didn't respond verbally, instead, he closed the small gap between them and kissed him full on the lips.

The kiss didn't last long, as Ken felt guilty, knowing that Takeru wanted Daisuke more than him.

"What's wrong?" the blonde asked this time as Ken pulled away and sat up.

"I don't deserve you, not after all the things I've done…"

"It's all in the past, and you've proven yourself to be worthy of anyone, even me."

Silence filled the room before Ken quietly spoke. "Thank you."

Takeru sat up, cupping both of Ken's cheeks with his hands, the bluenette now staring into his eyes, curious.

He leaned forward, gently brushing his lips against Ken's, then pulled back slightly to look into his violet orbs. "Will you sleep down here with me tonight? Maybe I won't have anymore bad dreams if someone that's willing to protect me is here with me."

Ken could only nod, his heart filled with joy at this request.

After a few moments of rearranging, the boys were snuggled together under the covers, Ken's head resting on Takeru's chest, while Takeru's arms were wrapped protectively around Ken's waist.

"Goodnight, Takeru," Ken whispered as he closed his eyes, content in the other's arms.

"Goodnight, Ken-chan." 'Goodnight, Dai-chan.'

I know this chapter was kind of short, sorry, but I will be (hopefully) updating my stories more regularly now that I have cable internet and don't have to fight with a stupid dial-up. Hope you like, anyway. R&R please!!!!
