Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, or very much actually, so suing me is pretty pointless! ^_^

A/N: Ok, I know, I'm mean. Sorry to all Davis lovers! *Sweatdrops* Anyway, SOMEONE had to be the bad guy!

Please read and review!

"Izzy?"

I ignored the knocking at the door. I just sat and stared at the computer screen.

"Izzy, your friend Mimi is here." I heard my mom walk away, and another approach.

"Izzy, please let me in!" she pleaded.

I sighed. They had been like this for three days. I needed some time to myself, but...

I got up and opened the door. Mimi was stood there, forlorn. She hadn't even put on makeup. She gave me a watery smile and walked in.

I closed my bedroom door.

"I'm so sorry, Izzy. If I hadn't-"

"No, Mimi, if it wasn't for you I would never have known." I sighed.

Mimi pulled out a slip of paper. "I found out about this chat room. I know about how DANGEROUS they can be, but its one for closet gays. You can speak to people who understand. And it's all anonymous. Just thought you should give it a try..."

I took the paper and smiled at her. "Thank you Mimi."

She stepped forwards, and wrapped her arms around me, squeezing me tightly. I stood, before hugging her back.

She pulled away, tears in her eyes. "If you ever want to talk...you know my number!"

I nodded.

"Take care Izzy. We all care about you."

She opened the door, said good bye to my mom, and left.

I sat back down at my desk, and opened up the website that Mimi had given me. At this point, anything was worth a shot!

I logged into the website, as KI, which obviously are my initials. But they wouldn't be obvious on the Internet.

KI: Is anyone there?

I waited. Then, after a minute.

Wildbrunette: Hey, KI

KI: Hi. Erm, what to say...

Wildbrunette: So, you're gay too?

KI: yes.

Wildbrunette: hey that's ok! Does anyone know?

KI: just a friend of mine.

Wildbrunette: how come?

KI: some of my other friends are not what you would call gay friendly

Wildbrunette: oh

KI: sorry, I'm new at this

Wildbrunette: me too. I hope you don't mind, that I'm only a guy on the net, and not a friend.

I smiled. Well, he seemed nice enough. I was still going to be careful, because I'm not stupid, but at least I could talk to someone who understands.

-

"Hello Mrs. Izumi."

"Why, hello Mimi."

I heard voices as I turned off the computer. It had been three days, and I was actually feeling better. Well, a little anyway.

I came out of my room, and saw Mimi. She beamed at me. "How are you?" she asked.

My mom decided to leave. I felt bad for not telling her, but I hoped she knew I WOULD tell her, when I was ready.

"I'm...better. Ish. Well, you know what I mean." I gave her a smile.

"I'm glad. Now. Plan for today. You're coming out with me mister!"

"Wha-"

But she grabbed my arm, and pulled me outside.

-

"So, what do you know about this mysterious guy?" she raised an eyebrow.

We were sat in the mall, in a coffee shop. Mimi was sipping a latte, and I had a hot chocolate.

"He lives in the area. He's in the closet, because he's scared how his friends will take it."

"He lives around here?!? You gonna meet him?!?"

"MIMI! Have you ANY idea how dangerous that is?!?"

"Oh, poo!" she wrinkled her nose. "Anyway, Tai asked me to take you over to his... he said he hasn't seen you in a while."

I looked down.

"I know Izzy, but remember HE doesn't. No one does! I've had Sora asking me if we've had a lovers tiff!" she grinned at that.

I allowed myself to smile too. "I'm not sure... "

"Izzy, you have to come clean! The closet is a dark and lonely place to be." Mimi looked at me with sincerity.

I raised an eyebrow at her and she laughed. "Hey, I'm not ALWAYS completely dizzy!"

I smiled, and reached over the table, taking hold of her hand. "Thank you, Mimi. For being such a good friend."

She smiled warmly. "So, lets go see Tai. Please? He IS worried about you."

I nodded. But inside my stomach twisted. This was it. Soon, he would know.

And our friendship would be on the line.
