The Boys of Summer
ST: Oh my goodness. I finished this chapter the same day as the seventh chapter of 02. Meaning that I now have 2 chapters ready to be posted for bos. But I'm not going to post them together. Oh no. I'm gonna use this later. Just in case I don't get my computer back in forever. It's only about 11:30 right now (PM) and maybe I can get another net set ready and possibly another 02 by tomorrow. Then I'll post one of each and get ready for your reviews. Right now, since I have no real news, I'm just going to babble. If you are wondering about my muses, that usually are here to torment me and mock me, I have banished them to the back of my head for the time being. I'm tired and am not in the mood to listen to them bitch at each other.
So, other than me trying to get ahead, I was looking through all my old files (cause the computer nerds are gonna clean all the crap in my computer and I needed to get all the stuff I want to keep into one file) and found tons of pics I gathered years ago of Digimon crap, like this one picture an old friend sent me of Davis and Ken. Ken's got that shy look on his face and Davis is, well, being Davis, with his arm slung around Ken's shoulder. It's labeled "Can't Deny The Cuteness". I couldn't help but think of this story. If Matt were in Ken's position in the picture, it would fit perfectly. Maybe you've seen the pic, it looks kinda like the cover art for a soundtrack/CD. I'm sorry. I'm just bored, wanting to talk, and want to take up space. ()
Let's see, thank you for reviewing and reading in the first place! I have an awsomenessly awsome idea for the sequel to this fic, b(ag)as, and thought I'd run it through here and get you all riled up. Davis gets his goggles in the sequel! I know, completely worthless info, but I'm trying not to give too much away!
Okay, that's enough dribble from your authoress. Thank you if you actually read all that. It's quite a bit. It took 10 minutes to write, so, dude. Well, enjoy the new update! And check out my profile for updatedness!
On with the story!
(a/n: Today, which is Thursday, I'm posting this chapter. My computer is still in possesion of the Geek Squad, so my quest to keep all you readers happy has been a sad, failing one. Luckily, I saved this one, for a time that it would be most needed! I think it's completely dorky and weird to leave my old, stale author's notes for you all to get confused and then read this, but who else is as weird as me? Really? Who? TELL ME! Uh, sorry.
Well, just telling you now, I wrote all my author's notes NOT in itallics about a week ago, when I posted all those new and nice chapters for bos, 02 and the net. It was nice and funny then, but now it's just cray-ze. So, enjoy! Oh, and enjoy the story, too. )

[chapter 13]
O0O0oDaiso0O0O
The next day was a total blast. Not that the day before didn't rock my socks either. Matt and me, sleeping together, but not actually sleeping together. Waiting. I couldn't've been more happier.
I just hoped that everything worked out with Keru and Tai. But, knowing my exaggerative and contemplative cousin, he probably fucked up his only chance to profess his girly crush to blondie boy.
Oh well.
We had other problems to deal with besides our twisted love lives. Important matters that go down under, like the bug surf competition. Tomorrow.
Gnarly!
One prob, though. Keru. He was so outta practice and training. Well, he hardly had any practice. He was a bogey, a beginner.
Hmmmm. Kari did mention something about him being better than I was when I first started. But I knew it was impossible.
Or was it?
Well, I'd just have to wait and see for myself.
][][][...][][][
Tai, TK, Matt and Davis gathered at the beach early the morning after that windy day. Tai awwwed at the closeness between Dai and Matt, receiving a slug from his cousin immediately afterwards.
After good mornings and whatnots, TK and Davis walked off towards the Shack, leaving Tai and Matt. Matt quickly turned to his bushy haired friend.
"So?"
"So what."
"Well, what happened?"
Tai sighed. "Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Yes, nothing."
"But-you had all afternoon yesterday! What did you tell him?"
Tai kicked at some sand and growled, "I didn't tell him crap. Kari got it out of me and I didn't know he was right behind me to hear the whole damned thing."
Matt looked down. "Oh."
"Yea, oh."
There was a pause as the two boys played with the soft sand beneath their feet and avoided each other's glance. "So, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know."
"I think you should tell him."
Tai glared at Matt. "Oh, so now that you've got someone you think you're Mr. Expert, huh? Well, it's not as easy as you think it is okay? You weren't in danger of being hurt!"
Matt scowled. "I never said I was an expert. I'm just telling you what I feel you should do. And what do you mean, in danger of being hurt?"
Tai snapped back, "Just leave me alone!"
"No. Tell me."
Sighing heavily, Tai gave in and confessed. "Fine. Davis and you, you guys are perfect. TK and me, we're not. I don't even know if he likes dudes, besides the least likely possibility of liking me."
Matt stared at Tai, disbelief swabbed on his face. "What?! How do you know if TK likes you or not?"
Tai shrugged, causing Matt to loose his temper, which doesn't happen much outside of his kitchen.
"Oh, of course you don't! You'd have to be sensible enough to actually ask! Which you aren't. You wanna know? Then fucking ask him! You never know until you do! Stop playing the self-pity card, oh woe is me, I'm gonna be an asshole and just ask him dammit!"
Tai stood still, not moving, allowing Matt's harsh, yet sound words to sink in. Quietly, he muttered, "I know. I know."
][][][...][][][
Once out of earshot, TK turned to Davis smiling. "So?"
"So."
"Well, what happened?"
Davis whistled lightly trying to feign innocence. "I have no idea of what you are talking about."
"Awww!" TK groaned. "Come on!"
Davis laughed. "Fine! What do you want to know? I'm an open book."
"Did you-"cough "you know?"
"You hentai!"
The two boys laughed loudly as they made their way slowly down the beach. Davis leisurely shook his head and TK gasped. "No way!"
"Yes way man!"
"You didn't?"
"We didn't!"
"Awwww!"
Davis mocked, "Awww, shut the hell up!"
TK giggled and held his hands behind his head, carefree. Davis pointed at the blonde and said, "How far did you get with cuz Taichi?"
TK quickly shut up, mouth forming into a thin line. TK dropped his arms and made his fingers drag across the air in a straight horizontal streak. "I didn't get anywhere."
Davis stopped in his tracks. Blinking, he continued walking, catching up to TK. "What?"
"What."
"What?"
"What Davis! What!"
"Well, I thought that, oh shitter."
"What?"
"He didn't tell you?"
TK didn't even try looking confused. "Tell me what."
Davis scowled. "Oh hell! You know exactly what I'm talking about! Did he or did he not tell you how desperately and pathetically and devotedly and hopelessly in love he is with you?"
TK hesitated. "Yes, but no."
Whining slightly, Davis dragged, "What in bloody hell is that supposed to mean?!?"
"He told Kari, not me."
"Wait, he told Kari that he loves her?"
TK glared at his baffled friend. "NO, he told Kari that he's in love with me."
Davis calmed down. "Oh. And why is that such a big deal?"
TK sighed. "Because, he didn't tell me."
They walked on in silence until they got to the shack. Inside were Kari and Ken. "Hey guys."
"Hey, my ass Motomiya. How was Yama?" Davis ignored Kari's winks and grabbed his board. "I'm gonna pretend that you never said that."
Ken walked in front of the exit, blocking the only way out. "You will tell us, understood?"
Davis muttered something like 'sad sadistic hentai bastard' under his breath before looking to TK for support. "We didn't do anything sexual if that's all you really want to know."
Kari and Ken both burst out into laughter. "I'm serious you guys! Really!" Kari struggled to contain her chuckles. "Okay, we believe you. It's just-"
"Not believable?"
The two broke out into laughter again, leaving Davis blushing madly and TK standing with a look on his face stating that he'd like to be left out of this type of interrogation. Kari, noticing this look, nodded at him.
"Whattabout you pineapple boy? How did you and Tai work out?"
TK sighed and turned away. Kari and Ken looked at each other. "Uh oh."
Davis, relieved that the pressure was now off him, casually sat down on the front desk. "Yea. I know."
Kari sighed. "That was the whole point of me talking to him! That low brained, insensitive jerk! That tactless, useless bastard! That mother fucking stupid son of a-"
"Kar, Kari. C'mon. Lay off. He is my cousin, kay?"
"Sorry."
"Don't be. We all know that the well known Motomiya stupidity runs in the genes."
"But you aren't blood. He's Yagami"
"Huh?"
Kari rolled her eyes as Davis stared at her blankly. During all this Ken pondered something and then shot. "Takeru, do you even have feelings for him?"
TK didn't answer. He continued to poke through the Shack's contents, pretending to ignore his friends' questions and comments.
"Ta-ker-u!" He turned around. "Do you have any feelings for him?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Kinda."
"Kinda?"
"Sorta."
"Sorta? That's it? Maybe kinda sorta? How bout a yes-a or a no-a?" Ken waited patiently, yet not so patiently as TK would've preferred.
He sighed, again. "Yes-a?"
Kari squealed and Davis and Ken laughed. TK groaned and grabbed his board. "Enough making fun of me. Let's surf."
Kari and Davis liked that idea, a lot. So, they spent the rest of the day doing just that.
[to be continued in the fourteenth installment of bos]
[continuing: Sentay's author's notes]
ST: Do you know what I just realized? I've only got two more chapters of bos to type up. Aren't you guys excited? I am. I can't wait to get your comments on the fourteenth chapter. Oh, I'm sorry this was so short. It was mostly dialogue. But good dialogue, right? Hopefully yes.
(out of ST's head comes a scraggly looking TK)
TK: Hopefully no.
ST: Hey, that was lame and low. Damn. I thought I got rid of you for at least one story.
TK: It takes a lot more to shove the great Takeru Takashi away, and the back of your mind wasn't good enough.
ST: And Draco wasn't able to take it and let you go on ahead without him while he curled up into a ball and started crying like a four year old?
TK: Sure, believe what you want to.
ST: (sighs) What did you do to him?
TK: Do? Him? Nothing!
ST: Like I'm going to believe that.
(out of ST's head comes a half tied up Draco)
Draco: HEY! (points at TK) You asshole! You tie me up and leave me to the pink killer fairies back there in the sugar cavity land?! What kind of human are you?
TK: A better one than you.
Draco: Oh sod off you-
ST: No more! I can't take it! Fight after I go to bed! Please!
Draco and TK: Okay.
ST: Yes, well, one more note before I go: please review and tell me what you thought and hope will happen and how much you like my story and what you would do if you were me (jumping off a bridge and into a stony and murderous flow of rapids does not count, nor any other self inflicting things) and what you liked best about the bos series. Please. The best reviews with all these questions answered in very pleasant, elaborate, honest ways will be very nicely recognized. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next chapter! It may be up sooner than you think! Or later. ()
Draco and TK: Til then
[tbc]
Draco: I was going to say that.
TK: Bull. You just copied me!
Draco: Oh bullocks.
TK: See! You did it again.
Draco: Oh sod off.
