KG: Hello! Ok, I read the reviews and I noticed that people just got more confused by the last chapter.... gomen, I apologize for that. Don't worry, things will clear up in this chapter ^^;;I don't own digimon.

--Takuya in the middle--What to do?

--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--

My family stopped by to see me later that night. My mom was happy of course that I had miraculously survived without any broken bones, Shinya had been scared that I would have died and my dad was just glad that I was awake and not in a coma.

They stayed for a while and asked me how I was feeling before they left to go home, leaving me to rest for the night.

I laid in bed trying to sort out my thoughts. Why did I keep doing things like that? No matter what, I always seemed to do something to hurt Kouji without meaning to. I realized now that I liked Kouichi, but I didn't mean to show it show so much. I know that I like it when Kouichi is happy; especially after everything that he had been through.... but I wanted Kouji to be happy too.

"How can I tell him how I feel without hurting Kouji?" I felt strange as I said that out loud, especially because there was no one to answer me.

"Tell who how you feel?" great, it was the nurse from this morning...

"How come you're still here? You work here all day?"

"Well, I like helping people, so I like my job and work here most of the time," figures... "But I'm sorry if I bothered you. I just came to make sure you were okay when I heard you talking. By the way, is the person you like named Kouichi?"

I immediately felt myself go red in the face, "How did you know?"

"Well, you kept on mentioning that name when you were unconscious, but I thought that it was a family member at first."

"Did I say that when my friends came to see me?" If Kouji had heard me say that, I would never forgive myself.....

"No, you actually stopped saying his name a while before they came in."

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Gee, I scare myself sometimes...

"Was Kouichi with your friends that day?"

"Yes, he told me today that he came, he's the boy with the short blue hair."

"Yes, I remember him, he has a twin brother. They both were extremely worried about you. Kouichi seems to be a very kind and thoughtful person."

"He is."

"Then what's the problem with telling him how you feel? Are you worried about he will feel?"

"No." I paused, debating whether I should tell the nurse about my problems or not. I would probably feel better about telling her and maybe she could help me out. "The problem is that his brother, Kouji, likes me too."

"Ah, I see," she sat down on the chair next to me. "So you now you feel confused because you don't want to hurt either one of them by choosing, ne?"

"Yes, that's it." I already began to feel better.

"Well, all I can say is that Kouji, Kouichi and you seem to be very close friends and I think that no matter what the outcome is, you guys will be there for each other and that things will turn out to be okay between you. There probably will be sadness, but it won't last very long."

"Arigatou," I knew what she had told me was true and I had been aware of it before, but she said it in a way that actually got through to me and eased my worries a bit. "Do you talk to many patients here?"

"Yes, I studied psychology and I like getting to know people." She got up to leave, "I'm glad I could help you Takuya, I'll see you in the morning to bring you breakfast, just get some rest now."

"Okay, oyasumi nasai," I began to think again, but this time the thoughts didn't feel as stressful as before. I knew that Kouji knew that I liked Kouichi. He was just waiting for me to actually say it to confirm his thoughts. I just could not figure out how he would react to my confession...

'....but I'm sure we will be able to be happy for each other and will find comfort for our pain...'

Kouji said that, but had he really meant it? Was he trying to tell me not to worry? I think that he was, he probably had known by then that I would like Kouichi. He still felt bad about it, but he didn't want to say anything.

I felt tired now.... I closed my eyes. I felt troubled, but not as much as before, I hoped that by tomorrow, everything would end.

The doctors ran the tests on me and were surprised to find nothing. I felt fine, but I was also surprised at the fact that I had survived the whole thing. Maybe all the fighting and the time in the digital world had made me stronger than I thought, either that or I was just extremely lucky...

I saw the nurse again after the tests, I thanked her again for talking to me last night.

"Just glad I could help."

I ate my breakfast, soon after the doctors told me that they had contacted my mother and that she would come around to take me home at around noon. I decided to think about what I would say to Kouji and Kouichi during my extra time. I thought it over many times and finally decided on what to say. My mom arrived about a half an hour earlier than the doctors had said. Apparently, she was so glad I was okay and she couldn't wait to come and take me home.

Before I left, I made sure to say good bye to the nurse. Then, I was on my way home. Shinya wouldn't get home until later and dad always worked until around 6 o'clock so it was just me and my mom until then. Once we got home, she prepared lunch and we ate together.

"How was the hospital?" she asked.

"Just fine, one of the nurses was really nice. She talked to me so I wasn't bored..."

"I still can't believe that you're okay.... I mean I'm glad and all, but it really is rather surprising that you didn't even get any broken bones."

Tell me about it.....

"Maybe I'm just really lucky; it just wasn't my time yet..." I definitely believed in fate and destiny now.

"Yes," she hugged me really tightly, squeezing the air out of me.

"Mom! You're gonna squeeze me to death!!" She loosened her grip on me and smiled.

"I'm sorry Takuya, it's just I'm so glad." How many times had she said that already?

"You can go rest now. I'll be here if you need anything."

"Well, could you tell me when Kouji and Kouichi come over?" I was pretty sure that they would come right after school, but still I asked her just in case.

"Sure thing."

I walked up to my room and settled down in front of the TV screen, there was one other thing I had been wanting to do. I turned the TV and Nintendo on and just settled down to play my video games.

I knew what I would do when Kouichi and Kouji came by...

KG: That should've cleared things up. Don't get me wrong, I looove Takouji, but some people asked me to write a Takuichi fanfic from my last story so I had a hard time choosing. I like Takuichi too; I think that Takuya and Kouichi look kind of cute together.... Anyways, I think I'll wrap up the story on the next chapter. Sayonara!
