Sillie: Hi! We're back for the second chapter!!
Dai: Fun… -__-'
Taichi and Yama: ^___^
Sillie: Thanks for the reviews! But I think I have to clear some things up… As Apple from Mars, and LadyDevimon pointed out… It's Yolie, and not Jolie… stupid me…
Yama: doh…
Sillie: Shut up… And LadyDevimon, I know Kari wasn't hanging over TK all the time.. I've seen the 02 series… but it makes Dai look more, euh… alone?
Taichi: If you don't know how to describe it, how should we know?
Sillie: * glares at Tai * Anyway… Let's call it artistic freedom, ne? But again, thanks for the reviews!
Dai: Yeah…
Taichi: Oh, lighten up Dai, it will be aright… eventually…. * grins *
Dai: -___-''
Sillie: Stop that Tai… Well, let's continue…
Disclaimer: If I would own Digimon… * dreams of *
Perfect picture (chapter two)
When they walked into the room, Davis was greeted by Matt, who was sitting on the couch. Davis smiled back at Matt, and turned back to Tai.
"Please sit down. Do you want something to drink?" "No thanks…" Davis said. He sat down on a chair opposite of the couch. Tai sat next to Matt, and snuggled up against him.
"You don't mind, do you?" He asked Davis. "No, I don't mind at all." "Oh, you ask him, but you don't ask me if it's alright?" Matt said in a mocking tone, but his eyes betrayed his amusement.
Tai just grinned at him, and turned his attention back to Davis. "So, what's up with you? You where awfully quiet today…" Davis sighted, and lowered his gaze to his lap. "Yeah, I know…" he murmured, "That's one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you guys…"
He looked up again, and looked straight at Tai and Matt. "I'm not who you think I am." Tai blinked and said: "Eh? Care to explain? I don't get it…" Davis nodded.
"What I mean is, I'm not the loudmouth you think I am… Not the one you can always laugh with…laugh at…" Tai nodded. "How come you're acting like one than?" Matt asked.
Davis shuffled with his feet, and looked down again. "I used to be rather quiet, when I was a little kid. I was always drawing, or looking at pictures in books. When I went to kindergarten, I still didn't speak much. I didn't had many friends, and sometimes they would pick on me…"
Davis looked up again, and saw that Tai and Matt where still listening. That gave him a bit more confidence, and he continued.
"Then I went to primary school (A/N: Is it called that way??) and I noticed that the kids who where funny had a lot of friends. I still didn't have many friends, so I started to act goofy. The kids in my class kinda liked it, and started talking to me, so I took it a bit further.
It worked for a couple of years, but now I have the feeling it's kind of backfiring on me… People aren't laughing with me, but at me. They don't take me serious anymore, and everybody thinks I'm stupid and a irritating loudmouth…" Davis sighted.
"And the worst part is, I don't think I can take it anymore…" He felt how his eyes started to water, but he blinked the tears away. He looked at Tai and Matt, and all he could see on their faces was understanding.
"You're afraid to be yourself, because you think people won't except you that way… Is that it?" Matt asked. Davis nodded, and Matt smiled at him.
"Oh Dai, don't worry about that! Taichi and me think that you are a great guy, and it doesn't matter to us if you're talking a lot or not… And I don't think the others will mind too… They just have to get used to it…"
Davis smiled. "You don't think it's strange?" "Oh no, not at all." Tai replied, "You know, Yama and I where suspecting something like this… You seemed so uncomfortable all the time…" "Yeah…" Davis sighted again, but then smiled. "Thanks you guys, you really helped me. I feel a lot better now."
Tai and Matt smiled back at him. It was silent for a while, when Tai suddenly asked: "So…you're entering the drawing contest eh? You any good?" Davis grinned. "I don't know… you tell me.."
Tai laughed. "How can I tell when I've never seen any of your drawings! Hell, I didn't even know you did draw!" Matt grinned, and a faint blush crept on Davis' face. "I always carry a sketchbook with me!" He defended himself.
"Well, let's have a look then." Matt said. Davis nodded, took the sketchbook out of his back bag, and gave it to Matt. "That aren't the best ones I've made though…" he said nervously.
Matt and Tai didn't reply, and began to look at each drawing with care. They didn't say a thing. This made Davis very nervous. He was fidgeting with the rim of his shirt, and observed the couple in front of him.
After a few minutes, Matt gave the sketchbook back, but still said nothing. At that point, Davis couldn't take it anymore. "And? What do you think? It sucks, doesn't it?"
Tai and Matt looked at each other, and burst out laughing. "What?" Davis asked. Were his drawings that bad? "Sorry Dai…" Matt gasped, " but you should have seen you're face…" He breathed in and out deeply a few times, and calmed himself down.
Then he turned to Davis. Tai was still snickering. "Dai… they are beautiful!! They really are! You don't have to worry about the contest, trust me…" "Really?" "Dai!" Tai exclaimed, "They seriously rock! If this isn't the best you can do, I can't even imagine how beautiful a drawing will be when it is one of your best…"
Davis blushed a deep red, but a happy smile crept on his face. "Do you have any idea what you are gonna draw?" Matt asked. "No, not jet… I want to draw something with a meaning behind it… with a message.."
"Man, that's deep…" Tai said. It was quiet for a couple seconds, then they burst out laughing again, and this time Davis joined them.
Davis stayed for another hour, and they talked about all sorts of things. When he was walking home, he felt better than he had done in ages. A happy grin was plastered on his face, and he was almost skipping.
Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes grew side and he gasped. "That's it…" he whispered, "It's perfect…" Then he snapped out of his daze, and he raced home. He finally had the perfect idea for a drawing…
He grabbed his sketchbook and pencils, and started to sketch franticly….
