Falling

Disclaimer: We don't own Digimon (but we have a new disclaimer). Akemi, Gendo, Toshiki and Istu belong to Empress of the Eclipse. Honestly, like I could create them.

A/N: To start with, we'd like to apologise to Akemi. We didn't realise stealing virginity didn't count. And to Istu, we're sorry we're so mean *in a whisper* We think you're the best character. I even emulate you in real life! K-chan: My friend now has trouble getting to sleep at night, for fear of Dria jumping out of her closet and proposing marriage Dria: *stars in her eyes* She signed a letter to me with love. She loves me! K-chan *faceflop*

Chapter 11:

"Someone help me get him onto the couch!" Said Ken hauling his boyfriend up awkwardly. Akemi leapt to his aid,

"Right you are! I'll take the backside, you take the head." He paused for a second, "Heh heh, head."

Ken glared, "If you continue talking about my boyfriend in such a fashion I'll be forced to retrieve my whip."

The band perked up. Matt groaned,

"Why me?"

"I can't believe it. Ken Ichijouji has a whip." Gendo said shaking his head, "I'm gonna make a mint on this story."

"Ken Ichijouji, who's that?" Akemi asked, "Is he a porn star?"

"No, he's that boy genius. He's famous!" Istu piped up, happy to have some relevant information for once (I think all your information's relevant Istu! *Dria swoons*)

"Boy genius? Who cares about smart people! Is he good in bed?" Akemi asked.

Ken cleared his throat, sending the band his 'Kaiser Glare of Death'

"What?" Asked Akemi innocently, "I guess I'll just ask thickie."

"He's not STUPID!" Ken yelled angrily, lunging at Akemi (Yes they'd already put Davis on the couch) "Get out of my house!"

"B-but. it's Matts house!" Istu objected.

"Get out!" Shrieked Ken. Toshiki grabbed Akemi's arm,

"I think it's just about time for us to leave."

"Wait!" Istu exclaimed, "I have to tell Matt something!" He dropped down on one knee,

"Matt I realised why you won't sleep with me!"

"Because he doesn't like you?" Asked Gendo

"No!" Istu said, "He's saving himself for marriage. I realise this is very sudden and everything, but Matt, will you marry me?" He asked, holding the cheap plastic ring, which he'd had to fight 5 of his siblings to gain possession of that they'd found at the bottom of the cereal box.

Everyone stared at him,

"Okay, that's just way to weird! Get out of my house Istu."

"It was too sudden wasn't it?" He cried as Gendo hauled him out the door, "Don't worry, I'll try again next week," He called, his voice fading down the corridor. (You're so persistent Istu, some day you'll get your man. or woman. or fanfic writer *bats eyelids*)

~~~

Izzy typed rapidly, entering data into his computer, there had to be some logical explanation to Davis's behaviour.

He suddenly came to a halt, his fingers resting lightly on the keyboard, as he felt slender fingers trail seductively down his arm.

He squeaked and spun around coming face to face with Sora. Putting a hand over his heart he sighed in relief,

"Oh thank god it's only you Sora! I though it was some sexually depraved delusional lunatic after my body."

Sora laughed,

"I'm not sexually depraved but I am after your body."

Izzy let out a muffled whimper and Sora smirked happily,

"4 down, 5 to go"

~~~

Ken stared up at the two older boys. Matt had his hands on his hips, and looked somewhere between curious and enraged.

"I. er. suppose you want. an explanation?" He began nervously, "It's ah. not what it looks like."

"It had better not be," Tai said menacingly, "If I find out you forced yourself on him, hell, if I find out that my lil bro is no longer a virgin, his is gonna be the last virginity you ever take!"

"We haven't done anything quite like that." Ken said mentally berating himself for the quite.

At that moment Davis stirred, "C'm back t'bed Ken." He slurred softly before drifting back off to sleep.

Matt raised an eyebrow, "Quite?"

Ken went red.

"Anyway. I hear you like soccer Tai."

"Quite?" Taichi repeated, eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Like you can really object!" Ken defended himself, eyeing Tai's naked chest, then looking pointedly at Matt, who was still shirtless (*drools* But he doesn't have anything on you Istu *sighs happily*)

"We're legally old enough to do that," Matt justified, then wondered *why* he was justifying himself to a child.

"No you're not!" Ken objected.

"The point is Davis. We saw him before you rocked up." Matt said.

"Yeah! He was acting like a zombie or something." Taichi chimed in, his brow furrowed, "Totally un-Davis-like."

Ken looked away,

"That was a mistake."

"That's not good enough? What was the mistake?" Matt asked coldly.

"I. I didn't mean to!" Ken babbled, "I was just so scared. that I'd lose him! I didn't want him to leave me. I was so alone, and everyone always leaves me. I thought I'd never hurt him, but I did. and I'm so, so sorry" Ken exclaimed, tears pouring down his face as he hugged Davis's unconscious form.

"I don't understand." Tai informed them regretfully, "How did you hurt Davis?"

"When I was little, we used to have birds in our garden. They were so beautiful and free, and they sung so nicely, so I asked my brother to catch one for me. We kept it in a cage, but it never sung. And after a week it died. I never knew why, until I did the same thing to Davis. Creatures like him don't deserve to be caged, and I'm sorry that I tried."

Tai still looked confused, "You kept Davis in a cage?"

"I might have well have. It was just one he couldn't see."

"You're speaking in metaphors!" Matt exploded, "Just fucking say it in words that normal people would understand."

Ken swallowed, "I dark ringed him."

"What!" Tai exploded lunging at Ken, "You asshole! I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck!"

Matt restrained his boyfriend,

"Calm down Tai," Then turned coldly to Ken, his icy blue eyes threatening worse torture then Ken could imagine if his answer displeased the blond.

"Explain exactly what you meant by 'dark ringed him'."

Kens fingers ran along Davis's neck, and then he held up the sleder silver chain,

"If he goes more then a mile away from me his mind shuts down and his body will bring him back to me. When I touch the necklace he falls unconscious for about an hour, and when he wakes up I tell him that he's been ill."

"You asshole!" Matt spat horrified, letting go of Tai, who was still reeling from Kens explanation.

"You lied to him?" Tai asked in shock

"Don't you realise that's the one thing you should never do in a relationship?"

Ken stared at the two boys, tears streaming down his face,

"What was I supposed to tell him? That I'd dark ringed him? That he was a prisoner, and had no choice but to stay with me?" He paused for a moment, then began to chuckle (If you don't get this then you obviously haven't read the start of this story.)

"What's so funny you psycho freak?" Matt asked.

Ken continued to chuckle,

"I did say that to him when he first came to me."

Tai looked even more confused,

"So he knows he's been dark ringed?" He asked. The two ignored him.

"The first time Davis tried to run away I realised what I'd done and tried to take the necklace off. I don't know how to take it off Matt! I've spent the past two weeks trying to work out how to get it off, and in doing so I've ignored Davis. That's why he ran away."

Matt looked slightly less violent,

"You are an idiot you do realise that Ken?"

"I've been telling myself that every night for the past two weeks."

"What? I thought he was a genius?" Tai interrupted. Both boys ignored him.

Ken brightened, "Did I mention that Daisuke's also a genius."

Matt choked down laughter, and Tai shrugged,

"I keep telling people that. There's just something wrong with the way he says stuff." He told the indigo haired genius

"It's called dyslexia." Ken told him, "According to him he didn't know."

"Dyslexia?" Matt said, his laughter dying away, "My cousin has that. After she was diagnosed and got proper help they had to move her up 3 grades. She's the pride of the family."

"Yes, well apparently everyone just called Davis stupid and just left it at that." He said glaring at Matt.

"Hey!" Tai objected, "I didn't! I've always known Davis is smart. He likes soccer doesn't he?"

Ken laughed, shocking both Tai and Matt.

"Did you just laugh?" Matt asked.

Ken frowned, "No I just did cartwheels around your room, what do you think?"

"I didn't see him do any cartwheels," confessed Tai.

Ken laughed again. Tai broke in before anyone else could

"Now this time I know he didn't do cartwheels."

Ken laughed harder and had to grip the stitch he acquired in his side. Matt and Tai joined in.

"Do you mind!" Came a sleepy voice from the couch, "I'm trying to sleep!"

"Davis" Cried Ken, drawing a little away from the boy, "You're awake!"

Davis smiled,

"No duh Sherlock." Then he pouted, "But I'm still mad at you," He sat up and turned away from the violet haired boy, "And I'm still not talking to you."

Ken stroked Davis hair, "I'm sorry. It's just that what I was doing on the computer was really important."

"More important then me?" Davis asked, leaning into Kens hand.

"Never!" Ken avowed, kissing the back of Davis's neck.

Suddenly Davis remembered he was supposed to be angry at Ken and pulled away,

"They why?"

"It was for you?"

"For me?" Davis asked, turning around

Ken smiled softly, "I guess you could say that. But it was a surprise so I can't tell you."

Davis pouted, then shrugged, "I guess I have to forgive you now if I want my surprise."

Ken smiled, "Forgive me?"

Davis grinned, and threw his arms around Ken, "Of course. Who am I gonna make out with if I don't."

Matt and Tai smiled tolerantly, their hands inching towards each other, as they watched the younger two boys.

"Hey, what are we doing at Matts place?" Asked Davis, toying with Kens hand absently.

"You were-" He broke off as he felt Matt glaring at him, "You had another one of those spells."

Matt raised an eyebrow and Ken shrugged helplessly.

Davis shrugged, then grinned at Tai,

"Hey Tai. Sorry for getting you thrown out last time and all." He grinned sheepishly, "I was a little upset. But Ken's great at cheering me up."

"Quite," murmured Matt.

Ken went red, "Different cheering." He said.

Both Davis and Tai looked nonplussed.

"So, how's Kari?" Davis asked.

Before Tai had a chance to reply there was a loud rattling sound outside Matts apartment, followed by a muffled curse.

Matt whirled to look at the clock, "Shit! My dad's home!" He leapt for the window, "Everyone out."

"We're 16 stories up." Ken said dryly, "And you want us to jump out a window?"

"Fire-escape," Matt explained, pushing them out the window and slamming it shut behind him. All four boys ducked, as they heard Mr. Ishida walk past the window.

"Why aren't you allowed to have guests?" asked Davis

Matt shook his head, "You don't want to know."

Ken smirked, "Believe me, we do."

Tai sniggered, "Last time Matt had a party, Mr. Ishida came home to find Akemi asleep in his bed with the two strippers, wearing nothing but Mr. Ishida's lucky tie. I guess it really was lucky."

Ken clapped a hand over Davis's mouth to stop him from laughing to loudly,

"And if that wasn't enough," Tai continued smirking, "Istu was in the process of removing another boys clothes on the lounge room sofa when he walked in. Gendo and Toshiki had somehow managed to use all him strawberry scented shampoo, and not in their hair, and when he went to ask Matt what was going on."

"Shh!" Matt broke in loudly.

(Dria's dad walks in, so all sexual jokes come to a halt)

Tai laughed and continued, "He found Matt eating all the chocolate chip ice- cream."

"I like that ice-cream!" Matt justified himself.

"And the syrup."

"It was strawberry!"

"And he's supposed to be on a diet.

"Diet shmiet"

"Look at him, he's getting pudgy."

"I am not PUDGY"

"Of course not puffinfresh," Davis consoled him, "You're just big boned"

"Speaking of big bones." Tai said, "I saw some at the museum."

Matt sniggered,

"I like museums."

"I like what you do at museums. watch"

"I think we've strayed from the subject," Said Ken

"What? Ice-cream?"

"I like ice-cream."

(Dria's dad leaves the room)

"I like ice-cream on you."

"I like ice-cream on Davis."

"You dirty little."

"I like syrup."

"I like syrup on you."

"I like syrup on."

"Are we going to start this again?"

"Yep."

"No! We need to get off this fire escape I'm freezing!"

"I can warm you up."

"Hentai!"

"Is your dad gone yet?"

"No."

"Let's go to my place." Said Tai

"Fine."

The four boys made their way down the fire escape, pausing as they came to an open window.

"In here!" Matt whispered.

The three followed him into the cheaply decorated room. A huge black dog jumped onto Matt and started licking his face, Ken was already halfway back out the window.

"Hey we're not allowed to have animals in this apartment block!" Matt gave an outraged cry, "I'm gonna report them!"

"And say what? I saw it when I climbed in their window?"

"Good point, let's just get out of here."

The four made it out of the room without further incident, however when the owner of the apartment got home they found they were missing their prized sponge cake, a log of cookie dough and a can of whipped cream they'd been saving for a special occasion.

~~~

"Turn around!" Kari told the blond haired boy.

As he did Kari quickly pulled her top on,

"You can turn back around, I'm decent now."

T.K laughed, "You're always decent."

"Flatterer!" She giggled, "Wanna head back to my place?"

"Yeah, I've just gotta put my sheets in the laundry then we can go."

Kari smiled, "Okay."

~~~

Matt munched contentedly on his log of cookie dough (chocolate chip), and Tai eagerly scoffed the sponge cake while Ken smiled down at the can of whipped cream in his hands,

"Bring back memories Dai?" He asked.

Matt choked on his mouthful, "Quite?"

"Yeah!" Davis grinned, "Thanks for teaching me how to make gingerbread men Ken!"

"I didn't know you needed whipped cream for gingerbread men." Tai glared suspiciously at Ken.

"Whipped cream clothes!" Davis said excitedly

"For the gingerbread men," Ken added quickly

"Of course? Who else would wear whipped cream clothes?" Davis asked confused

Matt blushed.

"Here we are!" Tai said, distracting the others from Matt's red face, before he found out something he really didn't want to know.

The four boys walked into the hallway, Ken leered at a photo of a much younger Tai playing naked in the mud, with a little blond boy he suspected was Matt. Who was also suspiciously naked.

"I was 3!" Tai defended turning the photo over.

"Of course," said Ken. "Everyone plays in the mud naked when they're young."

"Most people just don't do it with friends," Davis added grinning.

Whatever Tai was about to yell back was cut off as they heard giggling at the front door,

"Quick, into the closet!" Shouted Tai.

"But you've only just come out," Smirked Ken as he was dragged into the closet.

"Shh." Hissed Tai.

The front door opened and T.K and Kari walked into the hallway,

"Looks like no ones home, so we have the whole house to ourselves." Kari said smiling.



A/N: 4 gorgeous bishounen stuck in a closet together. Tee-hee *slaps wrist* Bad Dria. So what'd you think? Sorry it took so long to get out, but I've had mid- years and I just got my grades back *blushes*

And ff.n's been down. *Growls* And I just found out that Kaji from Neon Genesis Evangelion who I always assumed was straight, hits on Shinji. And I didn't notice *wails* It's so obvious!!!

How did this happen?
