chapter 3

It was an uneventful morning at Yagami's household, to say the least.

"Taichi, truth or dare?" the ever-energetic goggle boy asked.

"Truth."

The brunette gulped down the glass of orange juice and set it with a bang on the floor. "And step on it!"

"Alright!!" Daisuke exclaimed. Hikari watched them uninterestedly for some time then went to visit her friends. Boys, like her brother and his ever-present counterpart, were boring. They had been taking turns in Truth or Dare all morning, which was just too much for her liking.

"Errrr.. what to ask?" Daisuke mumbled to himself - to himself meaning that people two storeys up and down heard him. "Sooo... what's Hikari's favourite colour... no..."

Taichi yawned - Daisuke was bothering him with stupid childish questions since the sun had risen. "Ask me what my true love is," he said simply. "C'mon, let's play it serious, who needs children's games anyway?"

"Okay, so who?"

"Yamato."

Daisuke winked. "I KNEW it!!!!!!!!! You will be very good together.."

"Why, thank you... My turn. Truth or Dare? Truth? Okay... What did you feel after first Jogress?" Taichi asked.

Daisuke blushed from head to foot. "Well, I... uhm.." he stuttered. "I, Ken... we... I thought," he lowered his head. "I thought I was in love with Ken."

Taichi studied his bent blushing neck. "Were you really?"

Mutter, mutter, mutter.

"Yes or no?"

"I'm not sure."

Daisuke stared aside. "I'm not sure," he repeated.

Taichi pressed his lips together. "And what did Ken think?"

"Hey, MY turn!" Daisuke jumped up. "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you... to kiss Yamato!"

Taichi chuckled. "Already.."

Daisuke opened his eyes very wide. "And?!!!" he demanded.

Taichi threw his hands over his head and whistled. Daisuke stared at him like he was a god. "Ohhh..." he sighed in awe. "Wow..."

Taichi nodded happily. "I loved it." He propped his back on the wall. "Truth or Dare, Daisuke?"

"Dare.NO, truth."

"You ever kissed before?"

Daisuke shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no, no!" He stared in his lap. Taichi chuckled.

"If you were to choose between Hikari and Ken, who would you kiss?" the brunette asked evilly.

Daisuke dreamily touched his lips. "Why, of course, Hi.." Then a strange expression came into his eyes and he halted. "If she asks me.." he added. Taichi rolled his eyes.

"Okay, look. If - somehow - Ken and Hikari were here, right in front of you, and asked you for a single kiss, both of them - no consequences, probably, one kiss for life, then you go away, like, a goodbye kiss - who would you choose? Be honest, it doesn't count that Hikari's MY sister and Ken's YOUR best friend... Who?"

Daisuke lowered his head almost in his lap and his bangs hung over his eyes. Blood rushed to his face as he desperately tried to cover up.

"You know," he murmured softly emphasizing the 'you'. "If it'll be the last kiss..."

"Yep, the ONLY one," Taichi nodded. He bent his head to hear Daisuke's quiet answer...

"YOU know.." the boy whispered.

"Come on, it's not that bad, say it," Taichi prompted him in low voice. They snuggled together like conspirators.

The brown eyes glistened with emotion. The boy opened and closed his mouth like a fish, the name stuck in his throat, a timid one, a mouthed one, it still wouldn't come out. Daisuke shook his head, unable to speak.

"No..." he said weakly.

Taichi wrapped a protective arm over his shoulders. "Will it be Ken?" Taichi asked. Impulsively, Daisuke hid his burning face into the older boy's chest, nodded viciously and inhaled with a sob, still nodding as if he couldn't stop.
