The Boys Of Summer
ST: Oh my everybody! It's been three terribly long weeks. But I got it back! And guess what? I works like a fuckin charm. Fancy that, eh?
Draco: Yes, fancy.
TK: Yes, that. Great. You're back.
ST: Did ya miss me?
Draco and TK: No.
ST: Yea, well, you too. Anyways, here's the second to the last chapter of the boys of summer. I'm almost sad to let it go. (sniff) I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. There's a lot of action that happens. It's kinda like a bomb exploded or something. And not everything good. Here you'll understand why there is to be a sequel.
TK: Ah, yes. The sequel. Go on, tell your petty fans about he fate of you so called "sequel".
ST: Heh, yes. Um, about that. You see, it's kinda on hold, cause, well, I don't know why. Honest to bob, I'm just not inspired to write anything on it. But I will! Don't worry. It'll happen. In due time. Rome wasn't built in a day you know. And stop rubbing it I my face!
(Draco and TK abruptly stop rubbing)
ST: Thank you. Oh the power I have over my muses.
TK: What? What power.
Draco: (sniggers) Like you could posses any powers.
ST: Alright, next muse to get insubordinate with me gets the door out of my head and my author's notes. Comprende?
(Complete silence)
ST: Mou bein. Now, thank you all you wonderful readers and reviewers! I'll be putting my comments in the last chapter, as tradition goes. And, on with the story!

[Chapter 14]
[][][][Would Tai just get it over with?][][][]
It bothered me all day while I watched him surf, and it bothered me the whole morning of the next. Maybe I was just a straight out coward. Maybe I didn't have the balls or guts to tell him.
And I had to get them quick. TK had about a week left until he would have to go home. 10 days to be exact. My time was ticking by very rapidly.
How would I tell him though? The thought pounded into my head, and still no proper answer even after two days.
The day of the surf competition was the day after the day after I spilled the beans to Kari. That day my mind was more scrambled than everything you're reading right now.
That day, we all got up early and headed out to the beach.
As usual, I tried to distract myself with other thoughts. Like surfing. Hey, I was thinking that I just might take up surfing myself. I had been spending a gargantuan amount of time at the beach and came to the conclusion that it wasn't that bad. Hell, I might even be good.
TK was good. He was very good. The day before I had watched him glide over the glassy water, the waves barely ruffling under him. He was so freakin hot.
And there it went again, my plot to distract myself from what had to be done, down the friggin drain.
But he was beautiful. I loved how he could take such a difficult looking trend and turn it into an easy was of being human art. I needed to tell him that. I just had to tell him how perfectly TK-ish he was to me. How much I loved him.
That day would have to be the day. I couldn't take it, my mind couldn't take it, and Davis apparently couldn't take it due to the murderous glares he sent me the night before. That day, the day of the surf competition, would be the day that I'd allow myself to drop my shields and offer my bear heart to Takeru on a pretty silver platter.
Dammit! There goes the unwanted fluff. And if not a bit disturbing. The sudden fluff just slammed it. I had to declare my feelings to the damn fool I fell for in order to stop the lovey-dovey school girl crap that had invaded my mind. And get a good snog. Yea.
We were all hanging out on a picnic table, Teeks, Matt, Dai, Kar, Ken, and me, which was fairly close to the announcers' stand. Davis and TK were signed up and raring to go. Kari had already had her run. She did pretty kick ass good. I so did not understand a word said by the announcer dudes, but they sure looked pretty impressed.
After some goofy dolt in flame trunks had finished, it was Teeks' turn. He started to head out, saying good bye and receiving good lucks and backslaps from everyone. Just as he was turning to leave I called out to him.
"Wait!" He turned back around, his face full of uncertain hope. "I-I, I- good luck, for, you know."
I had goofed. Screwed up. He smiled at me, but I could clearly make out the crestfallen look on his beautiful face. I quickly grabbed his arm and kissed him. I wasn't long, it wasn't passionate, but it still was a kiss nonetheless. As I drew away, I whispered, "I love you. No go kick some ass."
When we separated, I could see a deep red blush flooding his face. And I'm sure my face was a bright pink at the moment, too. I could also hear whooping and howls all around us. Smiling at my love, I hit his head.
"What the hell are you waiting for? Go out there and surf! And you better win."
"What if I don't?"
"Then I take all that back."
"Fuck you."
"My pleasure."
The blonde smiled evilly, which caught me off guard, and raced off, board in hand.
There. I had done it. He was mine.
[][][][The up to bat blondie himself][][][]
All mine. Taichi and me, sittin in a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G. Well, not quite exactly at that time in place, no matter how much I wished. But it was most certainly a pleasant thought as I ran out into the water.
I was gonna win. Win I had to do. I had to make my Taichi proud, very proud. So he just had to kiss me again. Hee hee.
A voice inside my head that sounded amusingly like Meems my brother half mocked me by saying that I was beginning to sound like Dai. Oh well, best buds rub off onto each other.
Oh, at that moment I couldn't ask for more!
Well, besides an extended vacation. 10 days. That's all I had left till I was shipped back to the city.
But I had to push these thoughts out of my mind, no matter how much I wanted and needed to think about them. I had to win. And yet I couldn't help but think. Tai Tai Tai Tai Tai Tai! All mine. Finally! We had kissed. He had said the "L word". Everything was perfect. And that's why I had to win. I had to make every thing perfectly perfect. Yes, I had to.
I got out into the surf and did my thing. Paddle, paddle, dive, paddle, paddle, wait. Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate. Go for it. A picture of me and Tai holding hands pushed me.
I don't exactly remember the wave that everyone raved about afterwards, nor do I remember gliding like I did. I didn't hear the cheering or the announcers. All I remember was stopping to look out back onto the beach and see the blurry figure with sky rocketing hair. Tai.
What else I never saw was another on coming wave, a towering wall of water. All I saw after Tai was blue. Then dark. Down, down, down......
[][][][][][]
I woke four days later, or so I was told. I was in a hospital bed with a huge bandage wrapped around my head and my right arm in a sling. The first thing I could make out besides inevitable pain was a blob of brown hair. On my chest. Sleeping. I poked at it, hoping it would roll off so I could turn over and go back to sleep.
Instead of rolling, it rose, blinking at me. Suddenly it recognized me and smiled. "Are you okay?"
I nodded slowly without really knowing it. Tai suddenly hugged me and sniffled a little. "Sorry. I was just really worried."
I hugged him back and asked, "What happened?"
He laughed and said, "You kicked ass. You were announced as the most impressive newbie. And then you wiped out, real bad. The water current caught you and dragged you through some coral. Then they announced you as the most gnarly wipe out. The sure were right. You were out for days, koi."
"Koi?"
He pulled back, a look of regret and fear on his face. To his surprise, I guess, I was still smiling. "Koi. I like."
Tai quickly flashed me a grin I once found oh-so annoying and kissed me sweetly on the lips. I just loved this new relationship.
all of a sudden, the door opened, and in walked my brother and Dai, snacks in hand. Davis smiled widely and pushed aside my new koi, shoving the handful of snacks at his cousin. "How's my kick ass surfer? You like totally wiped the competition! You were like, awsomely awsome man!"
I laughed. "Really?! I won?!"
Davis inhaled and then exhaled. "No. The contest was halted that day in honor of your bogus bust and launched off again the very next. Of course, I was here, so I couldn't win it myself, but some other person won."
I waited in anticipation, excited to find out who had won, even if it wasn't me or Dai. "Well? Who was it? Who won?"
Davis looked up. "Huh? Oh, I don't know."
(Imagine everyone except for Davis sweat dropping and falling over, anime style)
[][][][Dumbass Davis][][][]
We were really happy to hang with the little dude as he recovered. We had food, games, TV, and that little remote control that raises the hospital beds up and down.
The day after Keru had reawaken was the day. But I'll get to that. Presently, my beautiful babe and me were playing rummy. Or, in other terms, I was slaughtering him alive.
"Ya-ma! It's not fair. You've won all 15 games!" Okay, so I was a lousy card player. But my comeback would, uh-eh, come.
He chuckled at me. "Dais, you just put down a 2. It's not my fault that you keep forgetting that 2s are deuces, meaning they're wilds."
I huffed. "So? I let you have it."
My boyfriend somehow found this pretty amusing. "Why?"
Thinking for a second, I almost let him shut me up. Why? What could I say? Oh, duh. "Cause I love you."
Yama found this even more amusing. "Okay."
As Yama and I fight flirted, Tai and Keru were simply enjoying each other's company. Tai was half lying half dangling on the bed and TK was sitting up, Tai's head in his lap. TK's fingers were running through Tai's hair and the two spoke in whispers.
Now, as a good cousin, I should respect my elder, right? Oh, I'm sorry. That's absolutely, positively, WRONG! I picked up the pen that Yama and I were using to keep score of that crapforsaken game and flung it at dearest Taichi.
His head shot up angrily and our eyes connected. Knowing that I was in deep shit, I got up and ran behind the table. Tai growled and leapt over, trying to get his butterfingers on me. Ha! No one can catch the almighty and handsome Daisuke!
Um, scratch that. Tai had me down in seconds, on my stomach and wrists held tightly behind my back. "Owww!"
"Say, 'you da man, Tai.'"
"Nevar!"
"Okay."
"Owww! You da man! You da man!"
At that precise moment, the door opened and in walked this really snobby looking lady. She was all prissed up in a fancy business suit and wore dark- dark sunglasses.
"Mom?"
All three of us, us being Tai me and Yama, turned to look at TK. His face told us the story; he was so not expecting this. The lady immediately walked over to him. "Takeru, look at you. all beat up like some surfer skater bum." Ouch. What was that supposed to imply?
"Mom, what are you doing here?" TK's words seethed through his teeth and his face was hard as stone. His mommy dearest clicked her tongue and said as-a-mater-of-factly, "Well, I heard that you were being careless and got yourself injured doing some stupidly ridiculous surfing thing and got here as soon as I could."
"Four days?"
"Takeru, you know very well that I'm in the middle of the biggest peak of my writing career at the paper," she went on, TK's expression plainly stating that he'd been hearing this lecture for years. "What did you expect? For me to drop all my work and run over here just because you bumped your head and scraped your arm?"
One word for you Ms. Takashi: bitchy.
TK sighed and gave us a look of pure help wanted. Tai and I got up quickly and stood beside Yama, trying to look more appraising, for Keru's sake. When I glanced at my koi to see what he thought of the situation I nearly cried out. My poor baby was completely pale, like he'd seen a ghost or something. Then I remembered, TK's mom was Matt's mom. Oh duh.
But, apparently Mrs. I've-got-a-life-slash-bitch didn't even remember that she had another son. And raised him for like four years till she got a divorce. Actually, she didn't even spare even Tai, me or Matt a single glance.
Psycho bitch.
"Anyway dear, I know you want to go home, so I've got you a bus ticket for tomorrow." A loud amount of gasps echoed throughout the room. Tai was about to protest, but I shhhed him. TK's mommy looked almost murderous-yet- enjoying-it like.
"What?! I don't want to go home yet! I still have a week!"
The evil bitch sighed. "Honey, I know a cry of attention when I hear one. Besides, you can't possibly want to stay here, do you?"
"Yes I do."
"Ha! Very funny dear. Well, I'll see you tomorrow when you get back."
"You aren't even gonna ride back with me?"
Ms. Takashi had this way of looking very impatient and heinous all at once, and man did I hate her for it. "Dear, I have more urgent work I need to attend to. Bye."
"Wait!" uh oh. Tai was asking for a verbal ass whoopin. "Ms. Ta-Takashi. Maybe we could make a deal. How bout T-Teek- uh, Takeru stays for five more days. Please? I'll pay for the ticket and-"
The freak looked at my cousin for the first time, giving him the up-and- down, while wearing a look of total and utmost disgust. Sneering snidely, she cut him off. "I'm sorry little boy. I do not make deals with surf bums. Nor do I think that you would be able to pay for anything besides a bag of pot."
Tai backed off immediately, mainly cause I held him back by the neck of his shirt. From behind my cousin's back, I glanced at her and glared as best as I could. Instead I got shot back with one that made me want to bitch slap her. She sighed and turned to Keru, who was looking quite seasick.
"Takeru dear, are these your friends? Pothead surf bums? Honestly. You are coming back tomorrow and if you object or disobey, there will be hell. Bye."
Ms. Takashi briskly walked out the door, leaving us in her shitforsaken wake. TK groaned loudly and Matt nearly toppled over. Tai caught him and helped him into a chair, me letting go and watching over my poor koi. Keru quickly said, "I hate her! I hate her so much. You're so fucking lucky Matt; you don't have to deal with her everyday. Well, everyday she's home. Oh fuck I hate her."
Yama began to stutter a bit and I tried to calm him down. "Huh? You okay, love?" He slowly nodded, but still looked like he was going to cry. My poor poor baby. I kissed him gently and held him close.
TK sighed, near tears himself. "I don't wanna fucking leave."
Tai, pissed beyond all pissness and horribly upset, sat down next to Keru. Me, still trying to swallow what that blonde bitch had said. Matt just sat there, depressed. We all knew. Takeru was leaving. Tomorrow. And we could do anything to stop it.
[to be continued in the final installment of bos!]
[and now the usual rants and raves of your humble authoress]
ST: No...more...wire...hangers! Did you like bitchy Ms. Takashi? She was fun to describe, in Dai's pov. Now, please tell me, what did you think? It was longer, yes I know. But like, were you all expecting that? Oh come on! As much as we want him to, TK just can't stay in coastie Odiaba. He has to go back to the city! And then everybody can stop by for a visit! Fun, no?
(Draco and TK happily nod)
ST: Eesh, they're scary when they're behaving. Yea, well anyways, please review me with your responses and pray that I'll type during camp next week. Yes, starting Monday I'll be at the local top notch University at computer camp. And I'll get to stay with my Auntie who lives in the city and lets me do whatever I want. You know these aunts, don't you? The ones that aren't married, work at planned parenthood, have two dogs, feeds them raw meet/cereal/yogurt cause it's better for them, is a vegetarian, has her nose and navel pierced, hates men, but yet loves them, went to the DC march for womens' rights for abortion by train cause she has a fear of planes cause they just might crash, lets you stay up at ungodly hours on the computer and could care less what you're doing on there cause you should be a free soul and yadda yadda yadda. But it's all good cause I'll get to live in the city till Friday. You see, my daddy lives out in the subs where it takes 40 minutes to get to the city. Yea. So that should be fun, even though my aunt is a bit, eh, weird and intolerable at times. But she's awsome just the same. I just wouldn't be her, ya know?
Er, that's a lot. So I'm gonna dip. And go type up other stories. Cause I love you all! Please review.
Draco and TK: Til then.
[tbc]
ST: Oh my everybody! It's been three terribly long weeks. But I got it back! And guess what? I works like a fuckin charm. Fancy that, eh?
Draco: Yes, fancy.
TK: Yes, that. Great. You're back.
ST: Did ya miss me?
Draco and TK: No.
ST: Yea, well, you too. Anyways, here's the second to the last chapter of the boys of summer. I'm almost sad to let it go. (sniff) I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. There's a lot of action that happens. It's kinda like a bomb exploded or something. And not everything good. Here you'll understand why there is to be a sequel.
TK: Ah, yes. The sequel. Go on, tell your petty fans about he fate of you so called "sequel".
ST: Heh, yes. Um, about that. You see, it's kinda on hold, cause, well, I don't know why. Honest to bob, I'm just not inspired to write anything on it. But I will! Don't worry. It'll happen. In due time. Rome wasn't built in a day you know. And stop rubbing it I my face!
(Draco and TK abruptly stop rubbing)
ST: Thank you. Oh the power I have over my muses.
TK: What? What power.
Draco: (sniggers) Like you could posses any powers.
ST: Alright, next muse to get insubordinate with me gets the door out of my head and my author's notes. Comprende?
(Complete silence)
ST: Mou bein. Now, thank you all you wonderful readers and reviewers! I'll be putting my comments in the last chapter, as tradition goes. And, on with the story!

Dammit! There goes the unwanted fluff. And if not a bit disturbing. The sudden fluff just slammed it. I had to declare my feelings to the damn fool I fell for in order to stop the lovey-dovey school girl crap that had invaded my mind. And get a good snog. Yea.
We were all hanging out on a picnic table, Teeks, Matt, Dai, Kar, Ken, and me, which was fairly close to the announcers' stand. Davis and TK were signed up and raring to go. Kari had already had her run. She did pretty kick ass good. I so did not understand a word said by the announcer dudes, but they sure looked pretty impressed.

I woke four days later, or so I was told. I was in a hospital bed with a huge bandage wrapped around my head and my right arm in a sling. The first thing I could make out besides inevitable pain was a blob of brown hair. On my chest. Sleeping. I poked at it, hoping it would roll off so I could turn over and go back to sleep.
Instead of rolling, it rose, blinking at me. Suddenly it recognized me and smiled. "Are you okay?"

"Koi?"
He pulled back, a look of regret and fear on his face. To his surprise, I guess, I was still smiling. "Koi. I like."

Now, as a good cousin, I should respect my elder, right? Oh, I'm sorry. That's absolutely, positively, WRONG! I picked up the pen that Yama and I were using to keep score of that crapforsaken game and flung it at dearest Taichi.
His head shot up angrily and our eyes connected. Knowing that I was in deep shit, I got up and ran behind the table. Tai growled and leapt over, trying to get his butterfingers on me. Ha! No one can catch the almighty and handsome Daisuke!
Um, scratch that. Tai had me down in seconds, on my stomach and wrists held tightly behind my back. "Owww!"
"Say, 'you da man, Tai.'"
"Nevar!"
"Okay."
"Owww! You da man! You da man!"

His mommy dearest clicked her tongue and said as-a-mater-of-factly, "Well, I heard that you were being careless and got yourself injured doing some stupidly ridiculous surfing thing and got here as soon as I could."
"Four days?"
"Takeru, you know very well that I'm in the middle of the biggest peak of my writing career at the paper," she went on, TK's expression plainly stating that he'd been hearing this lecture for years. "What did you expect? For me to drop all my work and run over here just because you bumped your head and scraped your arm?"

But, apparently Mrs. I've-got-a-life-slash-bitch didn't even remember that she had another son. And raised him for like four years till she got a divorce. Actually, she didn't even spare even Tai, me or Matt a single glance.
Psycho bitch.
"Anyway dear, I know you want to go home, so I've got you a bus ticket for tomorrow." A loud amount of gasps echoed throughout the room. Tai was about to protest, but I shhhed him. TK's mommy looked almost murderous-yet- enjoying-it like.

"Wait!" uh oh. Tai was asking for a verbal ass whoopin. "Ms. Ta-Takashi. Maybe we could make a deal. How bout T-Teek- uh, Takeru stays for five more days. Please? I'll pay for the ticket and-"
The freak looked at my cousin for the first time, giving him the up-and- down, while wearing a look of total and utmost disgust. Sneering snidely, she cut him off. "I'm sorry little boy. I do not make deals with surf bums. Nor do I think that you would be able to pay for anything besides a bag of pot."
Tai backed off immediately, mainly cause I held him back by the neck of his shirt. From behind my cousin's back, I glanced at her and glared as best as I could. Instead I got shot back with one that made me want to bitch slap her. She sighed and turned to Keru, who was looking quite seasick.
"Takeru dear, are these your friends? Pothead surf bums? Honestly. You are coming back tomorrow and if you object or disobey, there will be hell. Bye."
Ms. Takashi briskly walked out the door, leaving us in her shitforsaken wake. TK groaned loudly and Matt nearly toppled over. Tai caught him and helped him into a chair, me letting go and watching over my poor koi. Keru quickly said, "I hate her! I hate her so much. You're so fucking lucky Matt; you don't have to deal with her everyday. Well, everyday she's home. Oh fuck I hate her."
Yama began to stutter a bit and I tried to calm him down. "Huh? You okay, love?" He slowly nodded, but still looked like he was going to cry. My poor poor baby. I kissed him gently and held him close.
TK sighed, near tears himself. "I don't wanna fucking leave."
Tai, pissed beyond all pissness and horribly upset, sat down next to Keru. Me, still trying to swallow what that blonde bitch had said. Matt just sat there, depressed. We all knew. Takeru was leaving. Tomorrow. And we could do anything to stop it.

ST: No...more...wire...hangers! Did you like bitchy Ms. Takashi? She was fun to describe, in Dai's pov. Now, please tell me, what did you think? It was longer, yes I know. But like, were you all expecting that? Oh come on! As much as we want him to, TK just can't stay in coastie Odiaba. He has to go back to the city! And then everybody can stop by for a visit! Fun, no?
(Draco and TK happily nod)
ST: Eesh, they're scary when they're behaving. Yea, well anyways, please review me with your responses and pray that I'll type during camp next week. Yes, starting Monday I'll be at the local top notch University at computer camp. And I'll get to stay with my Auntie who lives in the city and lets me do whatever I want. You know these aunts, don't you? The ones that aren't married, work at planned parenthood, have two dogs, feeds them raw meet/cereal/yogurt cause it's better for them, is a vegetarian, has her nose and navel pierced, hates men, but yet loves them, went to the DC march for womens' rights for abortion by train cause she has a fear of planes cause they just might crash, lets you stay up at ungodly hours on the computer and could care less what you're doing on there cause you should be a free soul and yadda yadda yadda. But it's all good cause I'll get to live in the city till Friday. You see, my daddy lives out in the subs where it takes 40 minutes to get to the city. Yea. So that should be fun, even though my aunt is a bit, eh, weird and intolerable at times. But she's awsome just the same. I just wouldn't be her, ya know?
Er, that's a lot. So I'm gonna dip. And go type up other stories. Cause I love you all! Please review.
Draco and TK: Til then.
