AN: Chapter 2...Hopefully today I'll start on 3. Daishiro and attempted Kenjyou. (And yes I like weird couples, but actually it's the way this just came together) BTW Nope still don't own Digimon.

Daisuke began tapping his pencil on the table. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. He hated waiting. He looked across the table at his friend, Ken. Ken was buried deep in his book.

"What are you reading?"

"A history of mathematics book."

"Why are you always studying?"

"Daisuke, we are in a library."

"I thought that we were in the library to see him."

"Correction. You are in the library to see him,. I am here because you asked me too. And since I am here I decided to study. Sometimes I do wonder about you."

"Wonder what?"

"I wonder if you are part Fay."

Daisuke remembered what was said in class that afternoon. Their teacher had been going over their history and had talked about the disappearance of the Fay. The leading theory was that the Fay had intertwined with them so that there were no Fay any longer. It wasn't one of Daisuke's favorite theories. He liked believing that the Fay were still out there somewhere.

Well, sometime his current love interest would come in. At least that's what he had said. Daisuke sighed and continued to tap his pencil. He stared at the front door.

Ken shook his head and went back to reading his book. He didn't understand why he was here with Daisuke. Ken wasn't interested in either girls or boys. He was much more interested in books and learning strange facts that he could come across.

The front door opened and in walked two older boys. The smaller one came in and went directly to Daisuke's and Ken's table. The taller one followed. He had a backpack filled with books with him.

"Sorry for being late. We got delayed when Jyou wanted to stop at his house and get some books to read." Koushiro sat down next to Daisuke.

"They don't have the books I need here to finish my research."

Jyou sat down next to Ken. He pulled the books out of his backpack and put them on the table. He picked up the one on top and started reading. Ken kept on reading his book through all of this.

"Do you ever think that they will stop?" Daisuke asked.

"Maybe when they find someone to be with. Jyou still hasn't been interested in anyone."

"We're doomed to have friends who spend more time in books than anything else."

"Well, let me go show you what I found in the computer system yesterday. It was really interesting." Koushiro stood up and walked to the computer lab in the library. Daisuke stood up.

"Guys we're leaving for the lab, OK?" Ken looked up at Daisuke and nodded. Jyou simply shrugged. Daisuke shook his head and went to the lab. He sat down beside Koushiro who was logging on to the system. "Sometime they will react to something."

"They react to some things. Remember when you decided to hide Ken's books?"

Daisuke smiled. "Well I had to get his attention somehow. But that didn't last long. He simply chewed me out and went to the library to get some more. I would love to see something that would make him react with human beings instead of books."

"What about me? I'm always on the computer."

"Yes, but you do talk to me and share what your working on without me constantly bugging you. Ken doesn't tell me anything unless I become an absolute pest."

The computer beeped. Koushiro started typing. "Here let me show you this." The two boys started looking at the computer. A couple of hours later they came back to their friends. Jyou had taken over the whole table with open books and papers. Ken had moved to a nearby armchair. Ken's book was resting on his lap while he was looking out the window.

"Jyou, still working on your research paper?" Daisuke asked.

"Yes. I'm still writing down all the legends I can about magic."

Ken glanced over at Jyou. "Will you ever decide to stop chasing that dream of yours?"

"It is possible that it exists. The Fay…."

"The Fay are long gone. They were probably just different. They probably had no magic at all, just a different way of looking at things that over time we turned into magic."

Ken looked out the window again. Daisuke sat down next to him. "What's wrong now? You've known for a while about Jyou's research."

"I don't know. I just feel empty."

"I know that you and Jyou are both at the top of your classes. I know that you do like him."

Ken sighed and looked at his friend. "Jyou is a friend Daisuke. Nothing more."

Jyou started to pack up his things. "And Daisuke you forgot that I would be a part of this too. And I too only see Ken as a friend. No matter what you want to make us into, that's the way it is."

Ken went to check out his book and then the four boys went out the door.

"So ice cream anyone?" Koushiro asked.

"Sounds ok," said Jyou.

"OK," agreed Ken

"Great," said Daisuke. And the four boys headed off.
