I love you guys. Nothing makes me feel better than people enjoying my
work. I've written a number of Harry Potter stories before this, but this
is by far my favorite. Shameless plug here- - - if you like Harry/Ron,
Harry/Colin, Ron/Seamus, check them out (oh, and Neville/Seamus) Today, I
have decided that my second favorite digi-pairing has to be Kazu and Kenta.
I'll have to write one of those soon… and if I have to wait two more
weeks to see if that bitch Jeri caused Beelzemon to be erased I'll go mad
(p.s. I hate the fact that Jeri draws breath.) anyway….
"Now wait just a minute, Koushirou, I don't remember ever saying I hate you. So why don't you sit back down for a while." Tai was smiling warmly at him. Koushirou did just that, and as unobtrusively as possible, TK raised his fist and pumped it twice.
Saying that Koushirou was surprised would be the largest understatement in the history of the world. He was all prepared for the worst, of course, so when Tai told him to sit back down he felt like he could dance on clouds. "So you mean that you don't despise me?"
"Pretty much. In fact, the complete opposite. I like you a lot, Koushirou, I've just never had the courage to say it before."
Koushirou's head was spinning like a top. Here he was, the world's most depressive and angst-ridden boy, spilling his heart to who he thought was the epitome of courage and bravery, and Tai was more scared than he was. All Koushirou could say at the moment was "Wow."
"Wow what, Koushirou? Wow that I could like you? I don't see how that is such a far off thing."
"No Tai, it's just that you are the brave one and everything," Koushirou started talking but trailed off.
"Well, I might be brave sometimes, but when it comes to things like this, I don't know how to act, much less even speak."
Koushirou was looking Tai square in the face, and Tai was looking back. TK decided that he should probably go and clean up the dishes in the kitchen now, and leave these two alone. He got out of his chair and walked behind the two boys and entered the kitchen. He was just turning on the water when they started talking again. Try as he might, he couldn't help but turn the water down to a trickle and listen.
"I wish I could have told you long ago, Tai, but I was so very scared that everything and anything might go wrong. I've ached for these last few years, hoping that someday I'd be able to get the courage up to face my fears and tell you how I felt."
"Well Koushirou, you did and I'm so glad. I felt the same way pretty much ever since we got back from the digital world. I thought I'd go mad if I didn't say anything, but I was also afraid."
"Funny that two scared-y cats like us finally got together, huh, Tai?"
"Without a doubt."
TK listened in to another few minutes of banter, all the while washing and drying the dishes they'd used earlier that evening. He kept fighting the urge to go and watch and listen a little better and had been doing a rather fine job. He was alright until the last plate had been dried and set in the cabinet. He could no longer control himself and he just had to peek around the corner.
"Tai, I've wanted to do this for so long now, would you mind if I, I um…" Koushirou said and looked at Tai with his dreamy eyes. TK heard that as he stuck his head around the corner and he saw Koushirou move a little closer to Tai on the floor.
"Do what, Kou-chan?" Tai asked, somehow oblivious to what Koushirou wanted to do.
TK smacked his forehead lightly and rolled his eyes. 'He wants to kiss you, you fool," TK thought to himself. "Jeez, should I draw you a picture, Tai? Wanna buy a vowel?" he thought and leaned into wall, getting comfortable.
"Tai, I want to uh, well, I'll show you." Koushirou moved in close as possible and looked at Tai like he was the only thing in the world now. Koushirou turned his head slightly to the right and placed his lips on Tai's.
'Yessss!!!!' TK said to himself as he watched. 'They're so cute together.'
Koushirou started the kiss and Tai tentatively responded, then with vigor. They remained locked together for a good twenty seconds and were finally forced to break the kiss for a lack of oxygen.
"Prodigious!" Koushirou said once it was over. Had TK been sitting in a chair, he'd have fallen out of it, he started laughing so hard, barely keeping silent. Who else would call a kiss 'prodigious' other than Kou- chan?
"If I'd have known it was to be that good, I surely wouldn't have waited all these years, Kou-chan," Tai said.
"I know. Just think of everything we missed out on. We do have a lot of ground to make up, so…" Koushirou put his hand on Tai's chin, marveling at the smoothness of the skin and kissed him again. Tai was smiling all during the kiss. TK watched them for a moment or two more then made his appearance known when he walked back into the living room.
"Alright you two, I think 'I' need a cigarette after all that."
"TK, you uh, you saw that?" Tai stammered.
"Um, no. Well maybe. Yes I did." TK looked like he was about to burst with excitement. "I tried, but I couldn't resist being a voyeur. I couldn't help it, it's in my genes."
"So I guess you're alright with all this right, TK?" Tai asked him, hopeful.
"Of course I am, Taichi. Why else would I get you and Kou-chan over here and then leave you two alone? Well, sort of alone anyway."
"Thanks TK. I don't think I'd have ever been able to do it otherwise," Koushirou said to TK, his eyes filled with happiness and gratefulness.
"Bah, what are friends for?" He asked them. Before anyone could answer, a high voice called out from the back room.
"Can I come out now, TK?"
"Sure Patamon, come on." Patamon flew out and saw the two boys sitting close, Tai holding one of Koushirou's hands in his own.
"I take it your plan was a success, TK?" Patamon asked him.
"Plan?" Tai asked.
"TK's been talking about it all day, Taichi. He told me that he was going to get you two together tonight if it killed him," Patamon told him.
Tai looked at Koushirou. "I take it you were in on this too, Kou- chan?"
"Only since this morning. You're not mad are you Taichi?"
"Not a bit. If it weren't for TK here, I'd be spending the night thinking about you at home. Now I get to sit here and look at you and hold your hand," Tai trailed off, losing his train of thought when Kou looked at him like he was.
The four of them sat around and talked until the wee hours of the morning, Patamon dropping off somewhere around midnight. Tai fell asleep leaning his head on Koushirou's chest with Koushirou stroking his hair.
"Was it as hard as you thought it would be, Kou-chan?" TK asked Koushirou in a quiet voice.
"Yes and no. Starting was the hardest, but once I got going, all I had to do was let my heart talk instead of my mind."
"I'm so glad you're happy, Kou-chan. I hated seeing you like that. It hurt me to see you hurt that way. I knew I had to do something, and since I couldn't reach in and take the hurt out, I had to help a different way."
"Thank you, TK, I don't know if I can ever repay you for this."
"You already have, Koushirou. Just seeing you smile again is payment enough."
Koushirou yawned deeply and was about to say something when TK put a finger to Koushirou's lips. "Sleep now. See if you don't have good dreams for a change, Kou." Koushirou smiled at him and closed his eyes.
"I know I will, TK." Koushirou said as he yawned again, this time he couldn't fight the sandman any longer and fell into the realm of dreams, untroubled for the first time in ages.
TK sat and looked at the two of them for a few moments. He had a huge fuzzy feeling at the pit of his stomach, all warm and nice. He drew a blanket over them and settled into his sleeping bag, his own dreams beginning.
Hooray!! They kissed. I could see it in my mind so clearly. Two people, both scared to show their true feelings, finally the dam bursting and the torrent flooding their brains. I hope that worked for everyone. Again, thanks everyone--QWB, Clear Skies, queenrandom, Sarah-chan!!!!! Keep writing as long a review as you like queen, I love to read them, and I promise I'll read your story here shortly.
Now, onto the TK thing. Don't look for a Takari here. Sorry. Also no Takimi (?) Mimakeru (?) YUK. Daikeru, well, let me just say that is a VERY distinct possibility. Takori (Tacody) is another….what do you guys think??? I think Tacody might be cuter, and I won't make cody (I don't like the name Iori, so don't ever expect to see him typed as such again) eight or nine, but a little older, so it won't be as creepy. Well, it's bedtime now, so leave me some reviews by the time I get up!!! You all rock!!
